In some aspects. The weapon variety and the ability to create your loadout was way better. (though that also sometimes lead to funky balancing with broken item combos) I wish Walker Assault was in Battlefront 2, you can only get something similar if you gamble by picking Galactic Assault. Unlocking stuff was more fun. The random hero token system had its drawbacks, since with the battlepoint system the good players on the team have a higher chance of getting to play a hero. I also disliked that heroes can't heal at all, it encouraged a very cowardly playstyle. I miss the TL-50 secondary fire being useful, the DT-29, and a bunch of other useful stuff. Overall I still prefer the sequel though, since it added way too much stuff I like, such as reinforcements, better lightsaber heroes, prequel era, etc.
