It takes maybe 5 mins to jump into a game using the " Quick Join" but every time when I attempt to join another mode, takes about 6 to 10 mins. But still pretty full servers. Looks amazing, but sometimes team mates do whatever they went and don't attack objectives

Is that enough of a userbase to still have fun in the game online?

That's what I figured. The original SWB2 on PS2 was the first game I ever really played online (was in a clan on PS2 and everything). I believe it's still up on PC (it was brought back after being taken offline for a few years) but there were a lot of players taking advantage of glitches.

I'm surprised that this is a Steam key and not an EA/Origin key.

Once they got it fixed, it turned out to be a great game. I hated to hear they had Battlefront 3 at 97% done before they canceled it.

This isn't entirely true BF3 was slated in 2008ish to follow the original BF2. There's been no talk of follow up for the new BF2 (this game). It's bad naming that makes it confusing.

From the Steam store page:

---
Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required

Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account) (Supports Linking to Steam Account)
---

Also, for some reason Playnite doesn't have this listed in my library (via Epic) as owning it, but it's there in the Epic Launcher, odd. Almost thought I missed it somehow, but I didn't.

This appears to match it's historic low (non-free, that is) pricing as well.

Just to remind everyone, Epic gave away this game (this version). Check your libraries.

Apparently, I can't read. Others already pointed it out.

Only time this has happened to me is when I "bought" the giveaway on a secondary Epic account, and not my primary. You sure you have the Epic account that owns it linked to your Playnite? You can link multiple Steam accounts to Playnite, but not Epic (yet - that I know of).

I only have 1 Epic account.

Supposedly the Steam/EA integration isn't as bad as the Steam/Ubi integration but I try to avoid these situations altogether if possible. Having to use multiple launchers to run a game is a pain.

There is little point in playing online right now, unless you like the big battle modes. The singleplayer campaign is worth the money but the best time to play it was back when it went free in 2021.

There was a solid 6 months or so where new players could learn the game and queue times were under a minute. When I logged in a few months ago the wait was significantly longer and the players were much more experienced. So expect it to be more difficult.

There were plenty of players as of a few months ago. No problem getting a match.

Great game but no more updates. It really deserves a Battlefront III.
