    Game is dreadful, don't buy it.

    Now the important topic here is a continuation of my Battlefront 2015 review. The beta cuck SJW retard snowflake I was talking about said that the so called "seam bursting cliches" even though it's a fact that the hypocritical retard is a cliche SJW himself and it's a fact as well that "seam bursting cliches" don't exist and it's just woketarded SJW    Game is dreadful, don't buy it.

    Now the important topic here is a continuation of my Battlefront 2015 review. The beta cuck SJW retard snowflake I was talking about said that the so called "seam bursting cliches" even though it's a fact that the hypocritical retard is a cliche SJW himself and it's a fact as well that "seam bursting cliches" don't exist and it's just woketarded SJW snowflake propaganda, says that they "call to mind the bodacious sex-dolls of Dead or Alive Volleyball" even though they aren't "sex-dolls" and that's fact, it's not actually similar to any of Bowsette's porn at all and that's fact and they don't call to mind Dead or Alive Volleyball and that's fact, can the retarded cucks on the far left like the retarded website like Esquire that has retarded "journalists" who don't know piss about video games piss off about things they fail miserably to actually be knowledgeable on? That would be nice and not embarrassing, thank you. Another SJW retard, this time from Ars Technica, another retarded hack fraud website where the retarded "journalist" named Sam Machkovech "attributed"(more like falsely claimed) some of Bowsette's popularity to how it contrasted against Peach, stating(falsely claiming) the fan art's focus on a "more muscular, less svelte figure lets Peach look a little less Barbie proportioned". Peach isn't "Barbie proportioned" and she wasn't ever "Barbie proportioned" and it lets her be a little less nothing since it does nothing and all of that is fact. Lastly, some cancerous tranny of The Daily Dot named Ana Valens noted the character's broad appeal,(more like barely acknowledged to be honest) but also as a "relatable" figure for trans women. CANCEEEER. Bowsette's not genuinely "relatable" for trans women and that's fact you retard, but keep lying to yourself, you won't ever actually biologically be women and that's fact. And you noted jack piss, she's not relatable for trans women, fact, it had the retard stating(falsely claiming) "Bowsette is exactly how we see ourselves: We went from self hating, gender dysphoric creatures and turned into happy confident women." Ugh, traps. Enjoy your false happiness, you're in torment even now. And Bowsette is not exactly how "we"(trannies) see yourselves: and that's fact. Bowsette is a fusion of peach therefore not actually trans but hermaphrodite if anything and Bowser is FACTUALLY not "gender dysphoric" and that's why he kidnaps Peach and is male, he's not actually a trap like you queers. And Bowser hadn't turned into any "happy confident women" you cancertard and that's fact.

    Everything I have said here is fact, don't like it then you are retarded. I don't personally have anything against gays or transgender people of course, but SJW cancer like this is unbelievably horrid. It's like you have to be vitriolic in order to combat it, not "transphobic" or anything but projection is retarded and that's fact. Don't project and it might not be retarded. Bowser and Peach are great and iconic characters and companies like Nintendo and Square Enix are good companies that that have all their employees be talented and that's fact as well, for example Dragon Quest 11 or xi isn't "overly traditional" and that's fact, it is a masterpiece of a game and those complaining about what the game is like are factually retarded, closed minded "critics" and that's fact. Not many others complained about the game though, actually not many at all complained or criticized Dragon Quest 11 or xi and that's fact. Everything I have said as a response to something in this review is a fact.    … Expand

It takes me back to the 80's. If EA has made this game a Starship battle game alone i would have been happy.. Instead you have these annoying missions in the middle that cant decide what type of game they want to be. I still play Battlefield 4, such an amazing game, then EA take that engine and turn it into a Star Wars game, and a bad one at that. The multiplayer is terrible also, so im not bothered about the microtransactions as will never play it. Would grab it on sale on Origin, but never buy it fill price as the only decent thing about it is the Starship battles and the rest is just Meh!… Expand

    Pay2win or micro transactions are really not a problem for this game. SWBF II has curses much worse than this. Would you like to buy a car which don't move? This online game has got awful network code and developers who are unable to fix it. The lag and rubberbanding would be your best friends if you buy this piece of DICE's worthless stuff.

This is a SJW game where you can feel safe and be as bad and useless as you want and you won't be punished but rewarded for it. The droid models and the human models share the same broken animations. The art style is horrible, everything looks like a hologram which will fade away in a second. Your eyes will get worse after every 2 minutes You spend in menu because of the lack of contrast and moving font edges. The collection can't remember which item you have checked out already. The devs didn't even care about balance issues because there are gamebreaking bugs all over the game in mp and sp too. Singleplayer is a joke, on the first map there are like 4-5 situation where enemies are rolling though walls and then walking back like it's no biggie. This game is insanely broken including all the possible bad decisions ever made in a shooter and all bad choices made in term of art style and game design. This game can not be rated fairly because it will ruin not just your image of EA and DICE but it will damage your overall love for STAR WARS games and movies. Besides these the hero characters looks like they are on drugs, some of the voice actors are horrible too. And on the top of it they want REAL MONEY FOR THIS GARBAGE!!! Beware this game is already dead, there are hours in a day when You won't find 40ppl matches. And the actual content in the game is like half of the previous one which is also a dead and mediocre game in general. If it wasn't a licensed star wars game even the fake press would not care about it but they are paid heavily so they gave ACTUALLY GOOD REVIEWS OF THIS WORTHLESS mess of redundant code pile. This was my worst decision ever to buy this game even on half the retail price and I did some messed up stuff, believe me.… Expand

To be able to achieve weapon and class milestones to progress an to be reward with in game money so you can buy class and hero crates . Of course the reason for this is that the game was designed from the ground up with MTX in mind to entice people to spend money for in game currency so they can apply it to their character builds.Also matches are starting without filling both teams to 20 players each. And playing 17v10 for a couple of mins is not fun. And for a game that focuses on the multiplayer aspect more so that story telling rpg side it really isn't worth it because of those glaring faults. The game could be really enjoyable to where you could play endless hours, but there are to many balance type issues.

    I picked this game up on a publisher sale on Origin for $20. I played through the campaign and that was fantastic! I loved every minute of it and am so glad they put that in there.

The arcade modes are pretty fun too, although I do miss the instant action and galactic conquest that the original BF2 had.

    I don't care about MP so I get nothing out of that. It's all about SP campaigns for me. Ideally, with an online co-op option (i.e. Dying Light, Soulsborne, etc.).

    As for optimization, there were quite a few bugs to iron out on the Origin copy (thankfully, a few google searches fixed all issues). I was also surprised to see the length of the loading times take so long. If the Witcher 3 can load faster on my PC (i7, GTX1080, 16GB RAM), that's probably a red flag to the developer. I can only imagine what they're like on console.

    Either way, if you're looking for a fun Star Wars game to play, pick this one up. I don't feel any post-purchase regret buying this at $20 because I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign ( i also listened to the Inferno Squad audiobook beforehand so that gave some decent context to the characters).

    All that said, I LOATHED the first Battlefront game. It was pretty but boring.

    Battlefront 2 took two steps forward, one step back. You could tell that the EA execs simply couldn't resist. Which is a shame because this was a pretty fun game, single-player-wise.    … Expand

Absolutely bass ackwards at best. Great fix EA. Don't get me wrong... the actual content in the game is stunningly gorgeous, hands down the best of any Star Wars anything. It has plenty of great moments and very nostalgic, IF you can get a good match. Currently the game still doesn't even have lobby rotations of any kind.. all the good players end up on one team in a server and that's that. You usually NEVER get on a decent team because all the openings are on the **** teams where people have already rage quit and you take their place on the shyte team. So much fun... When you finally get on a good team and are able to get some points, after about 3 rounds it becomes stupid boring and you can literally just sit around and goof off.. which is fun sometimes I won't lie. Essentially either I find myself rage quitting from impossible situations or bored out of my mind due to other team being full of completely terrible players. WTF DICE.. this is Dice' fault, they are notorious for this and completely inept at figuring out a solution for 0% balancing. I'm giving this game a 6/10 from the aspect of a good player able to at least potentially overcome **** situations and have a bit of fun... and I'm giving the game 0/10 for casual players who want to just have a good experience from the perspective of a trooper.. you better off watching the movies and won't hate yourself as much.… Expand

    MP: Poor map design which results in meat grinder situations where 40 players fight for a small portion of land. Playing the objective is not incentivised enough resulting in no one playing the objective. Heroes broken/unbalanced for months after release. Heroes are awarded to good players resulting in even more unbalanced matches, so games are usually face rolls. Also something is wrong with servers and matchmaking. I played on some maps constantly, barely on some and NEVER on one or two maps, and I played for around 25h!

    Its still quite broken and unbalanced with the developer playing Bungie role keeping everything to themselves instead of having an open conversation with fans. To sum up I bought the game after 2 months of release. Payed around 2/3 of the original price, but still am quite disappointed.    … Expand

    (SPOLERS)

    CONS
    -Heroes are weak,and im ok whit that.But its the fact how stupidly you die whit them.
    Either it is a suicidical strafe runner from sky,at st killing you in 5 seconds,vanguard or sentry.

    -singleplayer sucks
    -Singleplayer is boring and Iden switches sides,its also too short
    -lootcrates
    -cards
    -Some maps are bad,some are to short, and some phases of the map suck(not to say its foll all maps_
    -6 modes which only 1 or 2 of them are good
    -Expensive as ****
    -Progression sistem sucks
    -No bots on the ground
    -Teams dont get scrambled at the and of the match so if one team loses it will lose and lose again
    -Bombers dont actually bomb,just shoot misles
    -AT-RT s dont actually jump even know they do in star wars universe.also in bf2 they are slow clumzy(like jar jar)
    -After you play a game you dont feel you are improving.
    -After playing most of the time there is nothing that you sit down and think about,there is no funny epic moments,memorable expiriences after yoou stop playing it
    -Game is unbalanced
    -Not that much content
    -Not much big updates
    -MADE BY EA

    PROS:
    Flying and starfighter assault is only fun modes
    -Can be fun at the times
    -Heores feel fun
    -There are a lot of good maps
    -Gunplay feels good
    -Every gun is unique and you can allways find a gun and a class that is best for you.

    Also for those who say this game is p2w,its not really.A guy spent 100 dollars for the game and all he did is maxed few cards for vaders,so if its p2w you really have to spent thousands of dollars in it

    This game is great. All you haters need to investigate the cost of developing AAA-games these days and understand how the industry need to look into ways of financing the level you expect. MTX might not be the way, but it¨s better than many other models.

    Mediocre game, excluding pay-to-win monetization system. F**k EA. F**k Disney.
    P.S. It's funny to read 10/10 reviews from users with this only review saying something like "People can't understand that lootboxes are necessary", "EA made great game and soon it'll be better", "I'm not a bot", "My mom is great woman"

    The single player campaign of this game is a joke... the writing is mediocre, the gameplay is dull, and the premise that was advertised is abandoned pretty much immediately. Add to all this, that it was incredibly short... clearly a tacked on feature, not a core experience for a 60$ price point. All in all, it just wasn't any fun. The MP is fine, but nothing really sets it apart for me from anything else I've played, with a Star Wars re-skin. I got bored after 10 hours and wandered off to play something else.

    I wasn't expecting a Witcher 3 level experience or anything, but if you're going to offer single player, you can't make it shorter and less detailed than your average Call of Duty snooze-fest...    … Expand

    The line of sight in third-person point of view is frustratingly misrepresented on the screen. If you are dealing with any corner situation where you want to peak around and take a shot, you're likely to shoot the wall even if your reticule is in the clear. The game does provide a visual cue to let you know when the crosshairs are really, really in the clear. The cue they presnt is a gray X to the left of our crosshairs. This puts you in the situation of trying to line up your target around a corner in a tense situation, but then up pops a second crosshair X, and it's just plain annoying. This is a long-standing issues with games that are in third-person POV. I don't know what the solution is. Maybe the player should be forced into first person point of view when he/she takes cover.

    Another control mechanic that was on the fail side for me was the dogfighting. While piloting the TIE fighter, I felt like a fly buzzing around with only one and half wings. Using a controller was pretty much out of the question for me. I actually died a few times just trying to navigate around ships with an x-box controller. With mouse and keyboard, I was able to control the ship, but it was still a hot mess. Having the targeting control for the guns be the same control for the movement of the ship is just bad. I wonder if the developers did this on purpose to make it feel like you feel frail and endangered. The lack of options to strafe in the ship also seemed weird to me. I've spent a lot of time flying helicopters in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. Something comparable to that would be choice.

    The first thing that grabbed my attention in the entire game was the design of Iden's inferno squad helmet and her attire. Obviously influenced by the class Vader design, the control panel on the front of the chest plate serves out the nostalgia. The droid mount on the back was also a cool placement, reminiscent of the drone backpack in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. The design and rendering of these imposing costumes immediately sated my desire to kick some Rebels in the teeth.

    The animation and scene designs as well as the writing and delivery of the lines in the cut-scenes were pretty good. Nothing came off as cheesy. I like how subtle facial expressions have snuck their way into our games. The slightest flex of a fist or raise of a cheek can add the right quality to important scenes. These were not amazing or anything, but totally enjoyable. Also hysterically fun is some of the off camera environmental dialogue you overhear as you are storming a base or ship. You can hear NPC's screaming and calling to each other in warning as if the predator or an alien was tearing up their comrades. All these little things add to the mood and your connection to the adventure in Battlefront Two.

    EA Dice also delivers on some really immersive cool moments. In one scene I thought I was just going to land in their on-ship dock and CGI would just take me into first-person. Nope. They let you hover there and annihilate the entire dock, including some X-wings. When you get out of the ship, you hear crew running for their lives screaming, “Oh my god, it's the pilot. The pilot's getting out of the ship. Run!” When you think things have calmed after a tough fight, cliffhanger moments come unexpectedly and are offered with that warm Star Wars humor. It would be nice to see these moments become a little more interactive, but it's enough to draw you further into the character and the adventure of the story.

    Instead of reloading, most specialized weaponry has a cool-down timer. At first I was annoyed by this, but I guess it makes sense. The game shows off weapon variety early on, encouraging you to use a charging sniper rifle, a grenade launcher, missle launcher, shotgun, but I didn't see any innovative main weapons. Some of the secondary weapons like this device that sets of a localized elector magnetic pulse on nearby enemies were pretty fun. It allowed you to approach the mostly generic combat with some style and a bit of strategy.

    I'm not going to say much about multiplayer. I will say that I didn't see anything new here, but it was fun. I did like that the game offered extra points if you stayed close to your squad and pushed objectives together. Of course, you are randomly placed after you die, and the group usually quickly divides up and runs to opposite ends of the map.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Two looks to be like an enjoyable casual shooter with an engaging story. If I was a bigger Star Wars fan, I'd probably tell EA to take my money, play through the story, then never touch the game again. Otherwise, I'd say wait for a sale on this title.

    Instead of creating a fun game, the game was designed to be a platform for selling microtransactions. When facing community backlash, the developers feign ignorance and promise "reworks" but keep doing the same thing anyway. As long as the money is flowing in, they really don't care about the product or the players.

    This is not a game.
    It's a glorified pachinko application.
    The story is shallow, and the game is purely pay to win.
    This game had so much potential, but like everything EA touches, ruined it.
    The online play is atrocious, with lag, rubber banding, and the pay to win progression totally ruining the game and rendering it unplayable.

    -Like the 2015 one, Battlefront 2 looks amazing. The detail in some of the maps and areas is downright breathtaking.

    Cons:
    -The single player is boring. It might as well have been a 2 hour long cutscene because that's what it felt like. Shriv was awesome though.
    -Now onto the part of why most people bought this game. The multiplayer. And.....it's the same as the 2014 version. Only now with an even worse grinding system than the first one, way more cheaper respawns and deaths and the lootboxes. Good God the lootboxes. I mean honestly. How can publishers and developers still think that this is a good idea. When the game is F2P i can kinda understand (you gotta make money off the game somehow) but a full priced 60 dollar game with a 100 dollar collector's edition doesn't need a gambling system to make more money surely right?

I eagerly selected him and decided to pursue some melee carnage - after killing 20 mobs I couldn't really give a **** about anything else in the game. The combat was boring and stupid, no skill level at all. Rush forward, press attack over and over, maybe use a force push ... hold block for some incoming lazers, rinse and repeat - after 20 mobs I really couldn't be arsed. They seemed to all spawn from nowhere and after a while I didn't really give a **** about any of it. The sounds and music (i.e. atmosphere) all felt like an out of sync soundtrack. Pile of ****.

    Ok, some people might get upset that I didn't play the campaign, well I wanted to jump into the combat and find out what the 'end-game' was going to be like. Well **** I didn't care about anything after about 3-5 mins of playing, except wanting a refund which is exactly what I did. Maybe I demand more from games but 15-20 years ago this game would have been ripped apart for the gameplay alone.

    The problem with current reviews is that most of the kids playing now will practically play any old **** so it really doesn't take much to please them, and these companies know it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like SWBFII, but I just don't. Despite the microtransactions, this game is a generally terrible game.

    CAMPAIGN:
    I was very excited for the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront II, getting to play as someone from the Empire's side to see their point of view looked very interesting. However, the campaign was anything but interesting. The campaign felt like pointless shooting and running around. And not to mention, the main protagonist turned to the Rebels about 5 missions in, going against the whole point of seeing something from the Empire's point of view. Overall, a disappointing and bad campaign.

    MULTIPLAYER:
    I have always liked Star Wars Battlefront multiplayer, big 20 v 20 battles with heaps of vehicles, heroes and action. However, Star Wars Battlefront II's multiplayer isn't that.

    The Battlepoints system is trash, the reason being that you will have sweaty kids running around at the start of the game trying so hard to get their Battlepoints so they can unlock their heroes. So then about 5 little sweats unlock their heroes and play as them for the rest of the game. This completely ruins it for the newer, less skilled or casual players who want to experience Battlefront II. Every time I would save enough Battlepoints to unlock a hero, it would go to the spawn screen and have the message pop up saying "Max number in play", what a disappointment. And I will never get to play as a hero that game either, since the sweats that unlock the heroes at the start, stay as heroes the whole game since now heroes have health regen. That's why I liked the original random drop system in Battlefront (2015), this would give the opportunity for any lucky player to stumble upon a hero pickup and get to play as their favourite character. Yes, there would be people who'd learn the spots and simply sit there and wait, but that could've easily been fixed by generating them randomly at random positions. Not to mention how very little heroes there are in the game.

    Battlefront II's servers are absolute trash. I play with 22ms ping to the Australian server and still manage to rubberband, get shot behind corners and aim directly at someone yet have no shots hit. I don't know why this is happening, but it is. So many other players complain about this in the game chat so I know it is not a problem specific to me (I have cable internet with 11ms, 115mbps down & 2mbps up) according to speedtest.net, so I know my internet is not the problem.

    The matchmaking and team balance in Battlefront II is a mess. Every game I play is one-sided. Either we are getting smashed or smashing the other team. This ties in with the hero and Battlepoints problem I stated earlier, there are always those 3 or 4 people who stay in heroes the whole game and never seem to die, making them smash everyone else and making the game not fun.

    The vehicle balancing in SWBFII is absolutely horrible. Especially when I play on any map with AT ST's. There will always be those two players spending the whole game in their AT-ST while everyone on the Rebel side gets basically nothing. There needs to be a specific class made for blowing sh*t up, which would make vehicles so much more manageable.

    Overall, Star Wars Battlefront II is a generally terrible game and I have had very little fun playing it. I 100% regret buying this and since I bought a physical copy with a code inside, I have no way of refunding it. DICE need to make major changes to this game to persuade me to come back. For the meantime, I'll be sticking with Titanfall 2.    … Expand

BUT! You can't help to feel deceived. This is definitely not a game by gamers to gamers. It's just another product for a specific demographic that serves as nothing more than a money-making platform.

    Despite the great things about this game, you can't ignore the purposefully limited (and severely restricted) progression, uninspired story mode, Single-player lacking on features, and, of course, the whole inexcusable and embarrassing PR approach from EA.

    If this game was done 10 years ago, it would've been a masterpiece. Back when developers made great games in order to make money to make more amazing games. We live in dark times.

    My suggestion is an overhaul to the progression system that makes it fun and fair for the player and addition of all the multiplayer features to single-player. If they want to charge for DLC, then great! Just make sure they are expansions, rich in content. DLC/Expansions are great and worth it, when done right.

    8 hours later, I really want to play this game to enjoy the wonderful world of Star Wars, but after this short amount of time, I don't really feel like starting the game anymore. Getting 100cr per battle, limited Arcade options and an extremely short and lackluster story gives this game ZERO replay value.    … Expand

    -- Demos! --

    Remember when demos were free and not behind a PAID subscription service? I 'member! I don't even have to go that far back (even though I used to play games during Shareware era), I'm just gonna give an example from a relatively recent indie game, The Talos Principle. This game has an FREE demo and it's advised you play it before you play the main game, simply because it has its own unique story and it ties into the main game.

    Now that we've seen how demos SHOULD BE, let's talk about EA's approach to demos.

    They make you download the full game (50+ gigs), limit you to 10 hours, (and this is the kicker) put it behind a subscription service. 5€ to try a game for 10 hours. Now if you ask EA, they'll claim that "but you don't get to play a demo only, you get to play our entire (ancient) game library for a MONTH!" and yeah, that's a valid argument.

    But what if you don't care about any of those games? I was talking to a friend (who somehow works in IT but doesn't even know the CPU in his computer) and when I told him "I just paid 5€ to play a demo", he replied back with the same argument above. I asked him if he played ANY of the games that came with Origin Access and he said no. I simply told him "then you paid 5€ to play a demo".

    He couldn't say a thing.

    -- Singleplayer Campaign--

    Okay, I wrote three paragraphs about single player but due to 5000 char limit (because I need to talk about multiplayer) I have to keep this short. All I'm gonna say that it's a short, linear, half-ass attempt at making a campaign just so people wouldn't go "it doesn't even have a single player campaign". Skip.

    -- Multiplayer --

    Time to address the elephant in the room. So I paid 5€ to test out this game and started playing with the same guy I mentioned above. We played a couple of galactic assault matches and I unlocked the first weapon for assault. Then we kept playing and I noticed that my assault class wasn't leveling up. I asked him about this and he told me:

    By playing the class, you only unlock weapons and mods for that class. If you want to level a specific class, you need to unlock boxes and hope that you get cards for the class you actually want to play. In a 60€ game mind you, not a Free-to-Play game. 80€ if you go for the digital premium deluxe whatever it's called edition.

    At this point, my mind was made. I was gonna skip this game. Then Reddit stuff happened and in a desperate move at calming people down, EA had to disable microtransactions at launch. Seeing EA back down gave me a bit of hope and I decided to give this game a chance (mistakes were made). I thought to myself "maybe because of this uproar, they'll fix this garbage progression system and be a decent company for once".

    Disabling MTX on launch showed how the progression system was actually designed. It was a grindy mess (and it still is). You'd earn 200-300 credits per match and when you considered the cost of a Trooper crate, it became apparent that this game was designed to milk people who don't have time. But this isn't the most frustrating part.

    So this game has three types of loot boxes. Trooper (4000 credits), Starfighter (3000) and Hero crates (2200, not 2000 because EA). The most annoying part is that these crates have a chance to drop cards from other crates. Let's say you got a Trooper crate and out of 3 cards (maybe 4 if the game feels generous that day), only one of them is Trooper related. Rest is either Starfighter or Hero cards (which has their own crates btw) or fillers like emotes and victory poses. Not to mention, there's a BIG chance of getting duplicates (which pays minute amounts of credits instead of crafting parts). That's why I started getting Hero crates only at one point but EA realized this and nerfed Hero boxes with the 2nd patch.

    To level up classes you can buy loot boxes or you can spend crafting parts you earn from these boxes (or by completing grindy challenges). So every card has 4 levels. The first level requires 40 crafting parts. Second is 80, Third is 180 and 4th level costs, I kid you not, 480 crafting parts. But that's not enough for EA. No. In order to be able to craft level 4 cards, you need to level up that class to level 20. And that means you need to spend your non-existent crafting parts to cards that you're not even going to use.

    All of the problems I mentioned above leads to one thing. Money farmers. Every game mode has at least one money farmer. They ruin the game especially if you're playing a 8v8 mod like Heroes vs Villians. Because of these people, the only mod i care about is dead after a month.

    We're two major patches in and it is apparent that EA won't be changing this system. That's why I uninstalled the game today and wrote this review.    … Expand

    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.
