Star Wars Battlefront now has online multiplayer. That statement might seem obvious to those familiar with EA's Star Wars: Battlefront series, but in this case, we mean the original Battlefront, from 2004. The game, which initially launched with online servers through the GameSpy service, has not had network features since the service shut down in 2014. An update went out today for owners of the game on Steam, which showed the addition of a few language options, as well as online multiplayer support through Steam.

I'll have to use the user-made servers though (SWBFSpy), as I have the CD version

What? This update is only for the Steam version? I bought the disc version cause it wasn't on there. I gues BF1 is on Steam now... that sucks I hate DRM like Steam.

Yeah, and $4.99 too https://store.steampowered.com/app/1058020/STAR_WARS_Battlefront_Classic_2004/

Luckily, the mods still work just fine on the CD versions

Hilarious! Star Wars is truly dead, and so we must live in the past of loftier times.

Does BFII classic have net play or just this one now? Any hope for the sequel if not?

Totally liked this old classic, was very familiar to battlefield of back then while the new battlefronts are totally different.

But I cant say I care for its multiplayer nowadays...

Is BF2 multiplayer working on steam?

I have it on origin but don't install it for many years, only have the Forgotten Hope 2 stand-alone mode installed but don't play it either, but was the best BF2 mod ever...
