    1 - This is a fantasy scfi game with aliens etc so it is not as bad as if this was a "realistic" battlefield game etc but I can still not take the game even remotely serious when the main character is a female special forces commander that barks orders to everyone around her. It is just becomes complete parody no matter how you look at it and it is impossible to take anything or any1 - This is a fantasy scfi game with aliens etc so it is not as bad as if this was a "realistic" battlefield game etc but I can still not take the game even remotely serious when the main character is a female special forces commander that barks orders to everyone around her. It is just becomes complete parody no matter how you look at it and it is impossible to take anything or any character in the game even remotely seriously. I know Dice is more woke than most gaming companies these days, and that says a lot since most are, so it is obvious they need to squeeze a strong womanz in there at point center. It is still always as disgusting when they put quality and believability in the backseat for just needing to stow their silly feminist ideals down your throat though.

    2 - Horrible HUD options. I like to play games with as little HUD as possible however my only option is to turn all the HUD to off. That means I miss all the tutorial messages etc and can't see interaction prompts etc which is very annoying. It is such a basic thing to have some basic HUD options to tailor to the players taste for immersion that many games get wrong and it needs to stop.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only is this game a buggy mess, but it forces you to play as a fascist. After the first mission I was done with the game. EA please stop making Star Wars games you are no good at them. This and Fallen Order are terrible and I am not even going to try Squadrons, even though it's free right now on PS+. I used to love the old Battlefront games so I figured that I would like this, but no it's just a cash grab pay to win advertisement for the online pvp. Clearly made by people who don't understand Star Wars or games for that matter. When playing a game you should instantly like the character you play as otherwise you will try to kill them over and over again until you decide to delete the entire thing. That's two EA Star Wars games I've deleted after a great disappointment. I really hope one day we will get good SW games again, but know it won't be from EA.… Expand

    They took the old battlefront game and utterly ruined it.

    Heroes are nonexistant/worthless. There is a hero battle mode but the heroes are underpowered (unless you're blocking constantly, two storm troopers can take you down in about 10 seconds), have no speed like in the old games (so you can't close the distance either) and overall are very poorly balanced.

    The survival mode and battles are okay, but are very focused around the secondary skill and the pickups from around the world. And for some reason all troops have the ability to heal yet heroes can't, another reason heroes are underpowered.

    Shields have become all but worthless, as compared to the old ps2 games, you can no longer shoot through your shield, and in fact was made even worse because when you have a personal shield up you can't shoot, use skills or even melee other enemies whereas they can run up and melee you to death.

    Honestly this has turned the ps2 version of star wars battlefront 1/2 into simply another Call of Duty, first person run-and-gun.

    I probably missed a bunch of other things too but these were the most prominent things that came to mind when thinking about it.

    Do not buy this game, honestly its not even worth downloading a free demo.    … Expand

    The bad:
    - frostbite engine: worst feeling player movement physics in the history of AAA games
    - maps somehow immediately feel stale after only a few weeks of having the game
    - Balance in large modes is completely ruined by heroes. About a minute into any match the heroes will be up and will be for the rest of the match. They're so horribly balanced that you are totally screwed if you're anything but another hero - there is no defense nor offense. This leads to heroes snowballing entire games, and a good hero player can effectively tear around the map with impunity. Heroes are so inexpensive that even after dieing they can just play the same one again - there is no limit.
    - starting the game with no characters leveled is a horribly punishing experience. The base classes and those that aren't leveled up are at a severe disadvantage. So have fun several dozen hours in game just leveling up things enough to be playable.    … Expand

This version of the game comes with everything that used to be P2W and all the (non-achievement related) cosmetics unlocked for free (rendering the in-game currency you earn utterly pointless, and thankfully meaning no macro-transactions/gambling boxes).

    PROS
    DICE have captured the look and feel of the Star Wars universe perfectly, as they did with the first Battlefront. The sound of the blaster fire, the hum and hiss of the lightsabers, even the stormtrooper's boots slamming into the metal flooring... all perfect.

    CONS
    After a few hours play it becomes apparent that this game is a thin Star Wars veneer slapped over a mediocre, at best average, shooter. Even with all the predatory macro-transactions/gambling loot boxes removed, it is painfully clear that the game was designed from the ground up around those principles.

    The starting guns are super weak (especially the Specialist, who is an absolute chore to level as their starting kit is arguably the worst in the game. 2+ headshots required to kill someone with their sniper rifle, made worse with the spam dodging) which is further compounded by not having access to any of the better weapons or loadout cards that can give characters a significant boost to their damage and/or survivability. Plenty of other games (like COD for example) have the better equipment and guns locked behind levels, but in those games I never felt that the disadvantage for not having access to those weapons was so marked and extreme. And this is even more pronounced when you see people with fully kitted out hero/villain characters.

    The maps and spawns are cluttered, especially on the smaller game modes. And the bigger maps are often a maze-like convoluted mess. Combined with the above issues, as a starting player, you had better get used to long and confusing runs back to the action (unless you are fortunate enough to be able to spawn on a squad-mate who isn't engaged in combat). Which unfortunately can result in you spending 2-3 minutes running back only to appear through a door near the capture point and get one-shot by an enemy hero/villain, or just a normal trooper with the better gear from a side spawn that you had no idea was there.

    Ultimately I have played this game for about 8 hours now to give it a good shot, and will probably play some more (as my friends also picked it up), but I cannot imagine they will want to play it for more than a single evening before returning to other games. And I cannot see this game still taking up install space in a weeks time. Definitely do NOT buy it, unless it is heavily discounted and you happen to be a real fan of the Star Wars universe. The only reason it got a three score was because it was free. If I had actually paid for this game, then the score would definitely be lower.

    TL:DR - A beautiful game that captured the look and feel of the Star Wars universe incredibly well.
    But after a few hours the novelty wears off and you get to see it for what it is. A middling to below average shooter. A convoluted mess of a game, and despite the predatory rubbish having been removed it's obvious that it was built on a foundation of micro-transactions, gambling and P2W.    … Expand

    100% worth it for free on Epic games store this week. It plays well, even on my 5 year old PC with dated graphics card so clearly they've optimised this game well graphically. And there's plenty here for star wars fans, from blasters to rocket launchers, piloting tie fighters to leaping around as kylo ren killing everyone in his path.

    Apart from the great Starfighter Assault mode Battlefront II is a mess of conflicting ideas, uneven mechanics and of course questionable monetization practices. DICE is facing long months of salvaging the game and the studio’s good name. [01/2018, p.32]

    Even the tinsel of the Star Wars world cannot hide the silly story and the boring singleplayer gameplay, or the necessity to accumulate the credits in the crate hunting in multiplayer. Battlefront II pleases as a genuine shooter in the beautiful scenery, but EA should deserve a slap into the face for their mad progression system.
