As a little dipshit child who didn't know or care a damn about Star Wars, I always saw Star Wars Battlefront 2 as "That one really fun library map". No joke, my go-to instinct whenever I'd boot up Battlefront 2 was as follows:

"Instant Action > Coruscant: Jedi Temple > Conquest".

In spite of only ever bothering to play one single map in the game and nothing else, I was absolutely floored at how much fun it was, wasting hours upon hours either at my place or my dad's, just steamrolling as the Empire on this one map for hours on end, and that says a lot about how damn fun the core gameplay of the title is. Little 7 year old Cameron had no idea there was an entire rest of the game waiting for him, with a campaign and other maps, other play styles, all he needed was that one map.

This was still my go-to action upon booting up Battlefront 2 over a decade and a half later on my Steam Deck, before and after fighting the control configuration, and it's still just as much fun as I remember. Might actually try to play the rest of the game at some point, but IDK yet cause Conquest on Jedi Temple still hasn't worn out its welcome.
