    I like this game and EA shows reaction! People are complaining about everything! It is very dumb judging this game only by micro transactions. There was no "real" pay to win and you aren't even forced to buy credits with your real money. So get over it and stop bashing a game without even testing and getting an objective opinion!

    After the Launch Disaster and the following Backslash I can really recommend the Game. At the Current Time they removed all Lootboxes, balanced the Progression System and also released some new Heroes, Maps and other Features while also working on future Updates for at least the Duration of 2019. Altough I can't forgive what they tried to do on Launch to the Community I can now say thatAfter the Launch Disaster and the following Backslash I can really recommend the Game.

    I think this is a nice game. There is a lot of maps and game modes. I love Heroes vs Villains. Graphics is beautiful. I've never had a problem with connection to the servers. Now, microtransactions are over. There is only cosmetic boxes which doesn't have any effect to the gameplay. All heroes are available for everyone, not like at the release of the game.

    whats the backbones of game. ground combat have great maps like hoth or kashyk but if you compare the battlefront 2015 maps like jakku so close counter focused and boring mostly. clone wars have difffrent mods which close to battlefield and old battlefronts but the fail to deliver air vehicles and hangar take off which in the game if you look single player.
    story as all dice games its not the best but also not bad like people said its not jedi story more like trooper drama which uses good on vehicles too. there is jedi mission which is good but too bad game not use any sith or classic movie duel storyies. in all com dice games story below the battlefield 3 single but def above the battlefield 4 and battlefront 2015 was not have single.
    arcade in this game amainz es with mods. there is ton of mods like skyrim chaning game many diffrent ways battle of endor to comic book star wars or even have split screen support. offline section suported in new patch greatly to like instan action mode.
    ABOUT LOOTBOX. funny thing is loot or box whatever in this game never be issue bcouse there was like almost same as battlefield 1 or old battlefield upgrade packs the thing was progression was bugged and if you dont get good on game make you punish kinda bcouse heros like vader cost goodamount of progress or in gamecredit. in all the story everyknow know not have any loot but is this things change no. vader unllocked freely or reduced heros ans skins count but in all in battleffont 2 if you finsih the game with 1 or 2 kills or no objective play you still need good amount of time to unlock things es cars which everybody using epic cards you become lesser. but in all if you was batllefied player or old battlefront player and make your kills like 4 or 6 and playing objective even in start you exprience not make you think oh **** the game. it was overrated by media and fans. for ex unlucing vader was took 10 matches maybe if you are medium player which vader is hero not the actual battle thig area. like in battlefield the solders here in the key. there was more bigger issues like heacy class bomber like abilty wipe everyone ass when firing like death star. but as youu see non player or media not know that bcouse ı guess they dont play like 5 hours something as you expecting. overal better than battlefront 2015 but some of things from bf 2015 still stay decent textures or weaponry map like sulust or jakku . bf 2015 sadly dlcs have sparate servers make harder to find onine. the same media gives bf2015 no loot game 6 its no expecting they give bf2 more than 7 which for 7 battlefront dam low score if you think game touch all star wars.    … Expand

    Now in 2019 the game is full of new content for every Star Wars era, especially the clone wars with new updates pretty much everymonth; with a new planet coming in the following months, Felucia.

    This game is so much better than the previous one. It has breathtaking graphics, funny multiplayer, lot of maps and characters, updates. It's not the good ol' Battlefront 2 (2005) but it's decent game, that i enjoy playing. :-)

    I first picked up BF2 from Origin at about mid 2018.
    By this time, the loot box controversy was addressed and all of the P2W elements were replaced by a new progression system.
    Now, i have picked the game for about 25$, because i kinda liked the previous title, and mainly ignored the 1.1 user review score that was given here. Now, more than 200 hours into the game, i guarantee you    I first picked up BF2 from Origin at about mid 2018.
    By this time, the loot box controversy was addressed and all of the P2W elements were replaced by a new progression system.
    Now, i have picked the game for about 25$, because i kinda liked the previous title, and mainly ignored the 1.1 user review score that was given here.

    Now, more than 200 hours into the game, i guarantee you that this game doesn’t deserve the huge backlash it received, for a number of reasons.
    First of all, this is not the first nor the last game to use micro transactions. In fact, after the new progression system patch, the game has become the only game i know that you can access fully without having to pay a dime. (Free DLC - where can you find that?)

    So with that said, ill explain what are the pros and cons from the perspective of a CASUAL gamer, cause if you are a competitive type of feller, i am afraid that you will be better avoiding the game, or trying to understand that it isn’t meant to be a competitive shooter of some sort.

    First of all, the multiplayer.
    There are plenty of modes, that some of them may appeal to you and some may not at all.
    For example, i never play the Starfighter mode, simply because i dont like it, not because its bad or anything.
    There are other modes, bigger and smaller, such as Blast which is basically team death match, Galactic Assault which is biggest one, and simulates a battle between two enemy factions based on different objectives for each map. Its a very dynamic mode.
    Another new big mode which is my favorite, is Capital Supremacy, which i will not get into details of, but check it out cause its cool.

    Also a favorite of mine, are the Hero Showdown (which is great if you have a friend willing to coordinate attacks with you) and the Heros VS Villians modes, which are very casual fun modes (pretty unbalanced, however) that shine because of their accuracy to the SW movies and are very appealing to people who like the SW universe of characters, and lets you play as iconic ones such as Obi Wan, Vader, Palpatine and etc. in a sort of power fantasy manner.

    Overall the multiplayer modes are very nice, fun, lore accurate and chaotic while calculated, even if somewhat unbalanced and a bit buggy, which makes the game not very appealing to hardcore gamers,

    The gameplay has improved drastically over the last title, and is appropriate for a triple A shooter however it may take some getting used to.

    There is also a campaign mode, that i would look at as a nice bonus for the true Star Wars fans who will appreciate a nice cameo of an iconic character here and there. The story won’t win any awards, but is nice to have,

    A huge pro that this game has is its visual aspect.
    Now, say what you will about EA, but they sure do know how to make their games look fantastic.
    Search for photos and you will understand what i am talking about; all the models and assets are near 100% accurate to the movies and look even better than the CGI from Episode 1 , for instance.
    All of this while performance is great, i have a graphics card from 2012 which runs the game on almost max settings and a stable 60 fps, and loading screens have been improved and are now very short if you have a decent CPU and an ok hard drive.

    I think that by this point the game has a lot of content, with a lot of maps, heros, and modes, and the game’s biggest con is the poor balancing in some of the modes. Also, despite the fact that the game received overall decent support since it’s launch, there are some things that could make the game a far more appealing experience, such as private matches, that are being asked for a long time and yet to be added. That is why i am conflicting with myself how i would rate this game, because on the one hand, it’s a really impressive and most of all fun game, but on the other it lacks some things that could make it a lot better.

    It is worth saying that as far as community goes this game has a relatively large and nice community and 2 great community managers that do everything they can to bridge between the dev team to the players, which is worth pointing out.

    The game costs currently around 7 USD, and for me it was worth my 25$, so watch some gameplay and do what you will.    … Expand

    I don't care what people say, I like this game. Great action, amazing visuals, being able to play offline, and a semi-competent campaign style mode. It can feel repetitive at times, but I'm fine with that. If you play it just an hour or two at a time, It won't be repetitive. Overall it is a pretty good game.

    Friends started asking me to give 10/10 to this game, the 10/10 "it isn't warcraft 3 reforged, so 10/10 way". I said no. I said I have played this game and I am willing to give a fair review. They were surprised and asked why I have played the game?

    I have quickly explained, that I can compare Origin Access (and Origin Access: Premier) to Netflix and plenty of other subscriptions, and I found it is an okay value, so I am subscribed. I don't want to start the crash grab multiplayer. I see interesting characters, some good but a bit short campaign, nice story, nice graphics, nice music. It isn't long, it isn't replayable, but it is fun while it lasts. And as it is part of an already good subscription, there is no reason not to play it.

    Plenty of good (often non-EA) games at a reasonable price. I will enjoy plenty of games, and would only buy favorites I want to keep, and even then I get a discount... So for me, that sub looks like a good deal and for subscribers this game worths the time spent downloading it.

    But I wouldn't buy it for its normal retail price.    … Expand

    The game has grown since its initial launch back in November 2017. Battlefront 2 has gotten much content that has helped the game grow.
    It has become an enjoyable multiplayer game for star wars fans like my self. Its also gotten cheap and is often on sale.

    P.S Don't bother with the campaign its trash

    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.
