Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Fans Are Raising the Game from the Dead, But Hackers Remain a Threat

In a heartwarming tale of community resilience, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has seen an astonishing resurgence in popularity over the past month. The game's player base has grown to unprecedented numbers, with many fans eagerly anticipating the potential return of a third installment in the series. However, this feel-good story is not without its complications.

The console versions of Battlefront 2 have been largely unaffected by the ongoing hacking issues, but the PC version remains plagued by exploits and cheating. Despite efforts from the community devs behind the Kyber custom server project to address these problems, many players continue to report encountering hackers in their matches.

A recent video from popular streamer penguinz0 serves as a poignant reminder of the issue. While not every match features a hacker, the frequency with which they appear is enough to make enjoying the game on PC a frustrating experience for many players. The problem is particularly prevalent in core 40-player modes, making it difficult for fans to fully immerse themselves in the game.

As the community's enthusiasm for Battlefront 2 reaches new heights, some have begun to call for a new installment in the series – Star Wars: Battlefront 3. However, this is not an issue that can be addressed by fan passion alone. The future of licensed games at EA is uncertain, with many titles being canceled and others receiving reduced development budgets.

Meanwhile, the gaming community has shown remarkable ingenuity and dedication in creating custom servers and mods to enhance their experience. In a bizarre twist, some fans have even gone so far as to create mockups of Battlefront 3's menu, demonstrating just how much interest there remains in a potential new game.

The situation is complex, with no clear solution in sight. As the community continues to push for improvement, it is unclear whether EA will take notice and address the ongoing hacking issues. For now, fans can only hope that someone at EA will listen to their pleas and deliver an anti-cheat update that will allow them to fully enjoy the game.
