    Star Wars Battlefront II is an awesome game. Have really good game mechanics and perfect game mods. The minus of this game is that there is no Mace Windu, crates and this stuff is sometimes very annoying. The plus of this game is the graphics, gameplay mechanics, heroes and villains, except for Rey's skin. Since when did she have something in common with Skywalker.

    Very good game, if you love star wars franchise and simply good, if you want to chill out. Game is similar to Battlefield. I liked Battlefront more actually.

    I bought this game 1 year after release and I think this was the best time to play. No microtransactions, many additional stuff (maps/characters) - even without buying a DLC - and full servers.
    One Problem is the hardcore grind to get more powerfull.

    Battlefront 2 acutely demonstrates how good games can be buried under devious business practices. It's a solid multiplayer shooter with a serviceable campaign and can deliver a few of dozens of hours of fun.

It's a solid multiplayer shooter with a serviceable campaign and can deliver a few of dozens of hours of fun.

    The shooting part of the core gameplay is finely tuned so that every shot has an impact without obscuring your view or hindering your movement, which plays nicely into how fast-paced the game is. Lightsaber combat, on the other hand, feels floaty and lacks response, but that allows attacks to feel lightning-fast and easy to execute. Movement overall feels rather nice, while movement abilities, be it dodges, jetpacks, or droideka roll, are all fun and responsive to use. Gameplay differs drastically between characters, which obviously messes up the balance, but allows for diverse playstyles which fit different players or different moods. The loadout system expands the customization of how you play even further, and it never felt like making a huge gap between players. Transports are of varied quality, but they don't feel jarring or unintuitive to use. Maps are varied, featuring setpieces that emulate the Star Wars feels with uncanny accuracy, but there are a couple of weird choke-points and questionably long and convoluted corridors that might disrupt the pace of the match sometimes.

    As with the maps, the game overall looks and sounds surprisingly close to the movies, providing constant fanservice excitement. Outdoor environments are especially stunning in their realism achieved with the science-fiction art of photogrammetry.

    Campain is a pleasant surprise as well, providing a superficial but engaging story from a rare perspective in Star Wars canon. Characters are nothing to write home about, but they can be rather compelling at times. And the weakest spot, as per usual, is the mission and level design having trouble adapting the gameplay structure designed for multiplayer into a solo experience.

    While not being anything exceptional, Battlefront 2 is a great game that knows what it has to do and executes it very confidently. After cleaning up bugs and minimizing microtransactions and their impact on the game, DICE proved that if not tainted with the egregious monetization model, their shooters can be fun, indeed.    … Expand

    EA really did turn this microtransaction-filled cesspool into a masterpiece. Over the years, they've tweaked balancing issues, added tons of free content, and removed all microtransactions. With big multiplayer franchises like COD and Battlefield on the downturn, this is the most engaging multiplayer shooter of 2020-2021. It's quite sad seeing the user scores and Metacritic scores so low.EA really did turn this microtransaction-filled cesspool into a masterpiece.

    Battlefront II™ ist ein tolles Star Wars Spiel! (Stand April 2020)

    POSITIVES: Battlefront II beinhaltet viele Dinge, die mir sehr gut gefallen. Als erstes wäre hier die Grafik. Diese ist zwar nicht die beste, aber dafür solide und passend. Etwas anderes das ich grossartig finde, wären die Unterschiedlichen Spielmodi, die es gibt. Meine drei Favoriten wären hier Helden VS Schurken, Totale Vorherrschaft und der Koop Modus. Es gibt aber auch einen Spielmodi, bei dem es möglich ist mit unterschiedlichen Raumfahrzeugen im Weltall zu fliegen. Die Steuerung des Spieles auf dem PC ist auch super und anpassbar. Die Figuren wirken real und es fühlt sich an, als würde man selbst in der Welt anwesend sein. So lässt sich Darth Maul oder Count Dooku genauso spielen, wie wir sie aus den Filmen kennen. Die einen Charaktere sind dabei eher agil, andere wiederum eher Tanks. Aber das Beste an dem Spiel finde ich, dass es sich so real anfühlt. Man lässt seine Umgebung komplett ausser Acht und taucht dabei in die Welt von Star Wars ein. Das ist EA tatsächlich gut gelungen.

    NEGATIVES: Leider fühlte sich Battlefront II zu Beginn überhaupt nicht so an. So war die Grafik 3x so schlecht, wie jetzt und die Menüs mit den Charakteren sahen auch komplett anders aus. EA machte auch den wohl dümmsten Fehler aller Zeiten. So war das Spiel zu Beginn nur Pay to Win. Die Karten konnten nur mühselig freigeschaltet werden (daher auch die schlechte User Bewertung). Dies ist aber Vergangenheit und mittlerweile glänzt das Spiel auch so gut, wie nie zuvor. Dennoch gibt es auch heute noch Dinge, die mir nicht passen wollen. So finde ich es komisch, dass Charaktere, die kauern so schnell laufen können, wie kleine Spinnen. Schade finde ich auch, dass es keine privaten Lobbys gibt. Ich würde gerne Mal ein VS mit meinen Freunden zocken.

    FAZIT: Battlefront II ist ein grossartiges Spiel. Jeden Monat kommen neue Inhalte ins Spiel. Das sind nicht zu viele Updates, aber auch nicht zu wenige (siehe Fortnite). Ich würde das Spiel jedem empfehlen, der gerne Shooter Spiele spielt oder ein tolles Star Wars Feeling erleben möchte. Ich weiss nicht, wie die Zukunft des Spiels aussehen wird, aber ich denke das dauert noch eine Weile, bis das Spiel eingestellt wird (Meine Spielstunden betragen 430h). Der Kostenpunkt liegt bei 30€, meistens gibt es aber auf MMOGA Preisreduktionen. Für ein volles Battlefront II Review --> siehe mein Battlefront II Review auf YouTube an.    … Expand

    Great game for the price ($0 on Epic). Love the fact that there's no loot crates or any of the pay2win nonsense that resulted in all the low reviews on launch. Too bad it wasn't like that at launch, but it's great fun now, especially progressing on multiplayer (usually in co-op mode). Haven't played PvP, but that's not really my thing... too many aimbots.

    Now that the drama about the loot boxes is long gone, people should accept that this is the best SW multiplayer game around. The locations, characters, vehicles and weapons are great representation of the movies and even the short singleplayer campaign is fun! There are still some heroes missing and other details could be improved, but nevertheless it's a great SW game!

Несмотря на прошлые проблемы, сейчас этот шутер мне нравится больше остальных. Возможно, потому что я её получил бесплатно, или возможно потому, что игра действительно интересная. Сюжет мне сдался нудным, а вот сетевая игра разнообразная и интересная... до тех пор, пока на поле битвы не заявляется герой, который своими умениями разносит обычных юнитов налево и направо. Однако, я не считаю это минусом, ведь ты понимаешь, что если ты позже возьмёшь героя, то при должном умении это будет машина убийства, и такого рода "дисбаланс" мне по нраву. Хочу отметить красочность Батлфронта. Везде лазерные лучи, завораживающие пейзажи, декорации, карты - всё это захватывает. Кстати, надо упомянуть и блестящую оптимизацию, ведь при такой красивой картинке на среднем железе у меня практически нету просадок, на ультра настройках, которые игра выставила по умолчанию.

    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.
