I love Star Wars Battlefront but this "Remaster" doesn't improve much. Battlefront II is a major improvement of Battlefront. They are basically the same game but Battlefront II is the what happens if you polish the game. Getting Battlefront with this collection isn't like a bonus. The Classic Collection brings the Xbox exclusive DLC to the main game which is a nice since I've never experienced till now. The menu is from the console versions which is nostalgic for me, is not meant for keyboard and mouse. I highly recommend getting the original games and modding them and add the Xbox DLC. The upscaled textures doesn't add much, and in my option smudges a lot of the original textures.

get these instead: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1058020/STAR_WARS_Battlefront_Classic_2004/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/6060/STAR_WARS_Battlefront_II_Classic_2005/ you'll get the same games but cheaper, less buggy, and with more people playing in online this had potential but they completely dropped the ball and abandoned it instantly

Could not launch it from my computer. but Was able to play it on SteamDeck. Was able to play everything on my Steamdeck was having a lot of fun on it. But could not give a thumbs up if the game is not able to launch on my computer. Tried to follow some guide to fix issue but nothing worked. Have seen some post about it and seem Aspyr didnt fix the issue yet and unsure if they will fix it..

The game is leagues better than it was at launch, but I still cant recommend it. One of the biggest pulls for this game was the multiplayer servers. These are completely dead. The up-scaled textures are fine, not really a huge difference. It would majorly benefit for having workshop support, I feel that if this were added it might be able to get people playing again. Ultimately the original games are way easier to add mods too. Also, I have heard from modders that there are some issues with adding certain content like custom factions. The original games are cheaper and have a lower bar to entry for modding and as such I would recommend those despite the huge improvements made to the game and all the issues that have been corrected after launch. I will continue playing till I have all the achievements then I will probably uninstall the game and play on the original version. Edit: After 100% completing the game, my thoughts have not changed much. If you don't want to mod the game this is a decent enough option, but the original games are still cheaper and if you changed your mind it would be easier to install mods. I did install mods near the end of the achievement run because I was getting bored and alot of issues came up, in the instant action menu the cursor would disappear when trying to add any levels to the playlist, the modded levels seemed to have texture issues where they don't on the original games, classes and weapon models for custom factions also look really odd at times. I would still recommend the original games over this collection as Steam already is a better "Launcher" than what comes with the battlefront collection. I am very disappointed, with this and the only silver lining is that Battlefront 1 and 2 were already great games, the patching got the collection to the base-line standard for them and I got to 100% another Star Wars game. I still would not recommend this to anyone.
