I'm playing through battlefront 2 (original) and this shit had me laughing out loud.
Fun game but the campaign is a little bit.. not great lol. Maybe altogether not as fun as I remembered. Worth noting that the Stream version had a glitch that made it unplayable for me (attempting to switch classes at a command post lead to a blank screen after selecting). So I had to switch to PS2 emulator which plays smoother and lets me use my controller anyway.
Oof. Yeah, they definitely did not balance that level as well as they could have...glad you got through it in the end, though!
