After deliberation, and viewing the description of the Star Wars thread (no BF stuff) and this one, I've decided that this thread is the best place for it.

Where'd you get your copy of SWBFII?

I originally got SWBF for my birthday when it came out, and quickly upgraded to II when it came out. We got a new computer, then I got a laptop in January, and tried to install BF, but it didn't work, then a few months ago I found BF on Amazon for 4 bucks. I ordered it, and it shipped for less than 10 dollars total. After about a month, I remembered a custom map some guy had way long ago, and found GT.

Bought it in Best Buy or similar.

I dunno, did you start this thread because you expect everyone to have some action story about winning it in a high-stakes gambling session or something?

After playing SWBF2 on my uncle's PS2, I asked my dad if I could get it for PC from Best Buy. So, now I have sWBF2.

Got one from Wal-Mart years and years ago, lost the other 3 disks so I can't install it on any other computers, got a UK English version from Direct2Drive, and replaced the BattlefrontII.exe with that from the CD version to get the right language. Now it still needs the CD, but, meh.

I got my from EBgames in Australia. (if you live in aus)

My copy was a re-released version published by 'Most Wanted'.

got bf1 on my ps2, then the next month saw number 2 in stores, so i bought it from a norwegian EB-Games (or gamestop, but i dont think that last one existed yet) then after a long time it was broken, since my brother (yukimura) stumbled on my backpack and lost it out of the window, where it fell about 4 meters down into one of the workers* Saw which cut it into thousands of bits and got the worker a nice scar right below his right eye. we payed the medical bill, of course.

*working on our window, we had an accident involving my computer and my older brothers head

THEN, about 1 year later, a friend bought the game in an EB-Games, and we played it for 1 year. then i bought my own, since my friends game couldnt play online (cd key overused? he had bought it used) and now i have it and cant apparently play on the same servers as you guys over here.

Wal-Mart on day of release

PriceMinister for me

Actually.....

So there I was, at 13 years old, playing the original Battlefront. I was just minding my own business when out of nowhere, seven ninjas bust through the windows of my house! I grabbed my two plastic lightsabers that I always kept on my belt and fell into a Jar-Kai ready stance. They moved quickly and unpredictably, but I managed to clip one across the head with the butt of one saber and I took another out with a quick sweeping kick.

The three left started to overpower me in such close quarters, so I leapt out of the nearest broken window and started running. After a long parkour-like chase across tops of buildings and construction sites, the battle moved its way to Wal-Mart. Using the Force, I opened the doors in front of me, dashed inside, then turned around to quickly Force Pull the sliding doors together. Two of the ninjas managed to squeeze through at the last second, but the thrid wasn't so lucky. He hit the glass head on, cracking the glass a bit, then fell to the ground. He was out cold, but I didn't have much time to celebrate.

I ran towards the prodcue section, civilians screaming and leaping out of the way as me and the pair of pursuers dashed wildly across the store. There was a display case of oranges ahead of me and aproaching fast. I jumped, planted my foot on the lip, the soared over the display, pushing down hard on the case with my foot. Oranges tumbled across the floor, and the two ninjas slipped and rolled across the floor. But it only slowed them down and they were quickly back on their feet.

I was running out of energy. The ninjas started gaining on me. Continuing through the produce section, I headed straight for the wall. I ran up it, jumped back, and with a quick flip, I slammed my feet into the ninja right behind me. The force of the blow sent him flying into the cereal aisle, which inexplicably exploded as he hit it, like some sort of strange Power Rangers parody.

The final ninja and I stood face to face for a last showdown. I thought I had the advantage with my twin plastic lightsabers, but then he pulled out a metal rod, pressed a button on the side, and the two ends shot out to form a long, metal staff. After a short second's pause, the duel began. He came at me hard and fast, but I was ready, using a form of Soresu to block and parry every swing he took with minimal effort. He pressed his speed advantage, backing me up across the store and into the electronics section. But he was slowing, the attacks took too much energy. His swings came slightly slower, and he was getting sloppy. I took the opportunity to pull from my last reserve of energy into one final offensive. I blocked one of his swings, then using my second saber, I hit his staff on the other end, using his staff's own momentum to spin it out of his hand, then I kicked my foe into the video game section. He crashed hard into a row of computer games and fell to the floor.

Breathing hard, I walked towards my fallen adversary and picked him up by the shirt. "Who sent you?" I asked. He didn't answer. He just stared into my eyes with fear. I tried once more. "Why are you attacking me?!?" He shook his head. I threw him to the ground. "ANSWER ME!!" "We were told... You were still playing... An obsolete game..." He picked up one of the video games that had fallen off the display when he crashed into it and showed it to me. It was Star Wars Battlefront II. He held it out to me from the ground, and I snatched it from his hands. "Get out of my sight," I said, and he crawled back in fear, got up, and ran towards the exit.

Then, I walked up to the counter and bought the game. It was kinda strange walking out of the store when everyone was looking at me wide-eyed and in fear, but it's whatever...

And that's how I got my copy of Battlefront II. I'm almost looking forward to the day SWBF3 comes out, just so I can repeat the experience.

Xbox copy on launch day, November 2005, at some store chain I can't even remember and know no longer exists. They forgot to charge us for the game when we bought Episode 3 on DVD, so I technically got the game for $10.50. Before anyone starts yelling "ETHICS!" and throws giant paragraphs at me that I won't read, yes, we went back, but they allowed the mistake to go on unfixed. Probably why they went out of business, with a policy like that.

PC copy obtained March 18, 2006 at Target for $40.00. Couldn't start playing it until I got a new graphics card, as the sky was black and everything had an orange tint.

Musicstore on day of release I think


I can't fully recall.

[hide]Okay, so in reality, I'm just like Tean. I got it on release day. But what fun is that?

I was waiting for that

oooh! A story? My turn. Strange enough, battlefront was hard to get and a little weird for me too.


It was a Monday. I guess you could say that would describe most of the story itself right? Boring, predictable, bland. That was what I though too when I heard that battlefront II was blasting its way onto store shelves that week. I was sipping my hot coco when I heard a knock at the door. Gently placing down my newspaper and squarely resting my mug of coco on the wooden table, I proceeded to drag my tired-teenage body to the door. On my way to the front door, a loud and impatient knock continued to pound, not unlike rain against a window pain on a stormy night. Through the peep-hole I tried to see what was beating my poor door.

Nothing.

Peering around the adjacent window for any pranksters, I decided I was just imagining things and continued to read my paper and sip coco. Suddenly, I was interrupted by an abrupt banging on the front door again. Quickly springing to my feet, I raced to catch the perpetrator, spilling coco and papers all over the floor in my haste. A small figure was standing alone with a box.

"Package for a...uhhh...MrCrayon?"

"That's me." I replied, opening the door a crack. "This has been waiting for you along time." said the man with the box.
I gently grasped the box from the man's arm, holding it like a mother would hold an infant. It was light, but not weightless, it had a brown packaging and had a stamp that was placed perfectly in the top corner.
"You must have friends in high places sir," and with that, the man turned away, walking into the morning fog, his somehow familiar face vanishing in my mind as swiftly as his small frame into the distance.
I stared down at the small box in my arms. Not taking my eyes off it, I start to open it. A small 'T' glares back at me, underneath it saying T for teen. My face lit up like a Christmas morning. Pulling more of the packaging away, each bit revealing a little more, I firs see a white leg. Next, a city of massive structures, and after that, a hostile world covered in magma. Finally pulling the last scrap of wrapping, in my hands was the fabled sequel to the best game (on star wars) ever made.


on the bottom, scrawled in a fancy letters with red ink was:

"Have Fun, and may the force be with you. Always. --George Lucas"


I never did see the post man again, but if I ever do, I will be sure to thank him. If only I could remember his face...

You wanna know how I got my copy of Battlefront 2? Well, I'll tell ya, but it's a gruesome story. Not for the fainthearted. ........

Okay, in all seriousness, my mom bought it for me. I forgot which store she got it from. But a guy can have his fun in story-telling, right?

heh. I guess. I think this is fun. Any other avid writers who want to make a funny one?

Funny picture crayon, but I must say good old George does NOT have a small frame.... And I might just add I WANT SWBF3!!! Techno FTW! XD And swbf3 cannot be anything less than Halo Reach if he wants his monies!!! I WANT FRIGGIN GOOD GRAPHICS FOR HAVING TO WAIT THIS LONG LUCAS!

Anyways, my dad bought swbf2 from a garage sale after many long sentence filled with pleases and other sucky up things, for the ps2... not knowing how much better the graphics and gameplay were on PC, but hey, I was a kid back then and kids dont care about that stuff. Anyways, I eventually found out what (Please dont chew my head off and spit it out again because of what I say.) torrents were through my older bruz... (TORRENTS ARE FROM THE DARK SIDE!) And yes.... He downloaded swbf2 from one of the millions of torrent sites out on the webs these days.... And thats how I aquired swbf2 for the PC. Then I simply had to download a CD Key genorator and keep trying keys till I found one that worked properly with the game... And I've been playing online ever since.... And btw, I'm #1 in Australia for SWBF2!!!!

@ Lozza - Yeah bruz, teh Aussies rule this joint.... no actually the admins and mods do... =(

somehow i was shure that would happen eventually in this thread

hey Darth Duck. Where's your story? I really like seeing short stories. They are always so creative.

I think they're a bit of spam, but that's just my personal taste.

7 - 2 = 3, yes indeed.
