Dec 12, 2017Please, don't buy this game. Just do not waste your time on it. This game is pay to win with a stupid storyline, you can not even play darth wader (front person in franchise) from the very beginning. I am very disappointing.

Dec 11, 2017I have bought i, becouse i like Starwars. I tryed to play this game. But it is nothing but starwars in it. Microtransactions... ok it is may be bad. But it is not main problem to me. It game for peoples who live in games. Casual players like me will not see the most interesting content and will not play heroes in battles. BF1 was much more better.

Dec 11, 2017After playing this on and off for about a couple of weeks, I can only say a rubber-band is more fun than this.
Server performance is just TERRIBLE. -
Dec 11, 2017As a Star Wars Fan, i am very disapointed. Looks great, the first minutes are good and nice to play but after a very short time, you are basically forced to buy the f****king lootboxes. The game would get a 8/10 if it is a Free2Play Game but as a Full-Price-Game, it is bullsh*t

Dec 9, 2017This game is the literal embodiment of corporate greed. It's a full - priced retail game that not only gives you a straight up advantage if you pay even more money, it also gives you access to content that should be available for free. The microtransactions are worse than some F2P games, and that is saying a lot.
-
Dec 9, 2017The Hillary Clinton pay-to-play scheme merges with a long line at the DMV. Waiting for upgrades to better weapons and abilities leaves you just another Star Wars extra, a putz, a grunt until a Darwinian length progression system finally allows you to be good enough to win. Is it fun? I'll let you know when I get there.

Dec 8, 2017Simply put:
We Need To Stop This.
And we need to stop this NOW.
Before others try this practice and before it gets worse.
EA will not stop this on its own, but they are afraid, and they have a very good reason for it!
It must be us who push this forward! -

Dec 6, 2017Basic game play is great but the progression system is just a complete disaster. Even ignoring the pay to win advantage the fact that you cant actually decide how to upgrade your characters but have to rely on RNG makes this a terrible game overall.
-
Dec 6, 2017Star Wars Battlefront define lo que Electronic Arts ha estado haciendo en los últimos años, enfocándose más en ganar dinero que en ofrecer experiencias gratas a sus usuarios. Es una lástima porque el juego parecía decente, pero acabó siendo un Pay to Win de la más baja calaña.

Dec 6, 2017Do not buy this game. Do not support greedy publishers who treat customers as garbage. Pay-to-win isn't acceptable for full price titles like Star Wars Battlefront II.

Dec 6, 2017Greed ruined this game. I won't buy this trash from EA because I don't want to support the direction where this game would lead. This "games as a service" madness has to stop!
-
Dec 5, 2017This game needs to be boycotted and so does EA as a whole. We need to vote with our wallets and not continue to feed the industry when we don't like aspects of a game. Even if the core game is great, the graphics are astounding, the story is superb. We must not let this one go. If we allow this to slid we are telling the gaming industry,"yeah just do whatever you want. We like to be ripped off."

Dec 5, 2017I 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!
-
Dec 5, 2017Even though microtransactions have temporarily gone, all that's left is a dull grind, without reward for performance. There is nothing to get excited about each round when you know you'll be getting the same amount of credits at match end as everybody else (based merely on match length time).
-
Dec 5, 2017EA MUST STOP microtransactions ... Greedy EA ... Just die already !!! Greed is a disease of modern world. Im not buying this trash of disrespect on US - buyers.

Dec 2, 2017Just one thing to say "micro-transactions ". If you want to throw away your money, buy this game, you´ll need a lot of money if you want to keep playing anyway.
-
Dec 2, 2017**** off ea just stop. microtransactions r **** disgusting fuk ea lol xd this game is **** anyway especially because of microstransactions and its buggy as fuk
-
Dec 2, 2017This games isn't that bad but the reason I don't like it is beca-error, to read this review play only your entire wallet; for every letter contained it's a different price. You should understand what I'm getting at, unless you're Donald Trump don't buy, play, touch or damn even look at this excuse of a game.

Dec 1, 2017I am boycotting this game on purpose. It's not even worth a proper review due to the greedy policies EA imposes on their consumers. It's ridiculous and i can't help but laugh at all the paid/hired reviews. I don't trust EA and neither should you, for the sake of your wallet. EA is ruining Star Wars. Not getting a dime from me. Move along, this is not the game you are looking for.

Dec 1, 2017game for billionaire and even a billionairewon't stil pay enouth to win
you buy a game up to 80 bucks wich is over pricing for a game, with a short single player campaign.
the only fun you can have is to play in multyplayer mode and guess what? you have to pay again and much more to still have a fair fight so paying over than 180 bucks for a game who will be outdated in 1 years, i pass... -

Nov 30, 2017Riddled with bugs and lag. The campaign is the easiest thing I've ever beaten in my life. Mictrotransation taste is still in everyone's mouth.
Not an improvement on the first game at all. -
Nov 30, 2017I will be honest, I was looking forward to this game. At launch though this game was riddled with bugs, very bad. Not to mention all the flak it got from the progression system it has which is just crap. Honestly without that this game is still a 0, looks and sounds great but so does my **** so that is nothing to go off of.
-
Nov 30, 2017It deserve 0. It just deserve 0. If there is a bot from EA company to give this Game score 10, i will be community bot who give 0 for score to be totally correct. There was a time, long time ago, when micro-transactions didn't exist. We want that time back, not at all, but just please THIS PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT IS FORCING ADDICTION TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING YOU ALREADY BOUGHT!
-
Nov 30, 2017As a fan of Star Wars I honestly wanted to buy the game, but EA being so greedy and condescending to us mere mortals that I would rather buy Divinity Original Sin 2 with full content unlocked just for 10 pounds. RIP microtransactions
-
Nov 30, 2017Do not buy this game. EA and other publishers need to learn a lesson. If we continue buying paid games with loot-boxes and micro-transactions that are connected to the progress and game-play of a game we can be sure that almost all games in the future will integrate those systems.
-
Nov 30, 2017Nice graphics, but i don't like upgrade systeme with starcards all is based on microtransaction system
I paid this game 79,99 Euros on Origin !!
This paid game should not ask players to pay enven more to have the content for which they have already paid.
This game is not a free to play. -
Nov 30, 2017
-
Nov 30, 2017So EA and DICE decided to mess up the whole game and throw out of the window everything that was in first BF. Instead they decided to deliver to us top quality lootboxes. I really thought that after e3 conference EA showed us good titles, but now i have no trust in this company.

Nov 30, 2017"Some people have more time than money, and some people have more money than time. You want to always balance those two."

I value both my time and my money and EA is just a gaming tyrant at this point with ideologies like this. -

Nov 30, 2017Boring, casual, primitive game play at all. Well, if your IQ is below 60, you gonna love this game like the monkeys do with their bananas. No point to bother anymore with this garbage.

Nov 29, 2017Terrible game. Same as the first one. Just a cash grab of a game thats really half a game so they can sell you microtransactions and other pay to win nonsense. Time gating and pay wall gating even worse than Blizzard's garbage. EA needs to be excised from the gaming community.
-
Nov 29, 2017Good graphics. Boring campaign, tedious loot box structured multiplayer. All in all a less than average game. Would have given it a 3 but EA's dragged star wars through the mud & that kinda sucks, not to mention spending a full $60 on massive disappointment. Overwatch was cheaper & i play it more now than i did a year ago, non-game altering loot boxes also helped it's cause

Nov 29, 2017I think its a great game. the microtransactions where pure bu******, but ea deleated them. people seem to forget the rest of the game. it has amazing graphich, good gameplay and perfect sound design. sorry for my spelling

Nov 28, 2017Graphics and sound have a 10/10, but Is a pretty standart shooter in is core mechanics, but the thing that a 60USD game has microtransactions equivalent to >1000USD to unlock all the content or play like 18 hours per day IS INSANE at this moment, EA has not do much to fix any of this.
-
Nov 28, 2017**** game like city wok no good food,chinese no good for me.
But seriously even without the Microtransactions this game sucks balls cause the progress is waaayyy tooo **** slow and random.... **** system **** game well done Eat Ass arts. -
Nov 28, 2017Piggish EA. With Battlefront 2 they neglected to understand that games are art, and that all art should be respected. When you consider the awful pay-to-win system attached to this game, a 0/10 is warranted.
-
Nov 28, 2017Leave it to the worst company in America to ruin one of the best franchises ever.
I like that they have reacted to the general public and removed the microtransactions but the game still needs work. -
Nov 27, 2017No game should be this abusive to the gamer.
Even if the game had all of it's "pay to win", the reputation of being battle front 2 is in the mud.
Ironic I have a sense of accomplishment in giving this review. -
Nov 27, 2017DO NOT BUY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
Graphics look alright, Gameplay is average at best. Game is barebones and the bare minimum was done to create Star Wars themed cash milking machine. -
Nov 27, 2017This game was created especially to get money out of people. It bothers me that they do it with the name of Star Wars but finally the community is talking.
-

Nov 27, 2017This game is horrible. Microtransactions ruin it. There isn't enough content, to begin with. The stuff you have to buy gives you an advantage in the game. Very disappointing.
-
Nov 27, 2017Casual people are allowing microtransactions in AAA games. Also whales are a huge part. Its optional so its not that bad to be there. But when company starting to push hard grinding like in Free to play games its a very bad marketing move.
-

Nov 27, 2017BOYCOTT EA. This kind of predatory behavior is unacceptable. If EA gets an inch, they'll take a mile. This kind of behavior has been displayed by multiple AAA publishers and the only way to send a message against this kind of behavior is to rebel.

Nov 27, 2017Köszönöm ea, hogy a 2015-ös Battlefron után ismét belerúgtál a gyerekkorunkba...a 2005-ös Star Wars Battlefthoz nem is mérhető ez a valami amivel megint csak minél több pénzt akartok legombolni azokról a rajongókról, akiknek még volt egy kis bizodalmuk abban, hogy valaha egy újabb jó Battlefront játék fog készülni...ez már nem csalódottság ez már harag és megvetés...
-
Nov 27, 2017Don´t buy this game, no fun in single player, and multiplayer is pay to win. Loot boxes are disabled but will be back after sozial media outrage is over.
-
Nov 27, 2017I am not an EA fan and really hate pay-to-win games. BUT I loved old 2005 Battlefront and Battlefront 2017 I love them much more despite of lagging servers, some curious bug..also the AIM system is not the best I've ever seen. After all it's Star Wars

Nov 27, 2017Would have gotten this awesome game but i dont really like to play so long time to unlock half of the online characters. The Beta already showed how painful its to collect half of beta content...sad to read that getting Vader requires way too much time or money to unlock it. Im not bying this game for its singleplayer so its imposible to tell how good that is.
-
Nov 27, 2017Great graphic, excellent sound design, and a 4 hour campaign can't offset the fact that we, as gamers, need to pay microtransactions as if this is a mobile game, when in fact we spend more than $60 just to buy the game in the first place.
Won't be buying this one until EA sort this mess out (if they ever can sort this out). -

CD-ActionFeb 8, 2018Apart 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]
-
Jan 21, 2018Even 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.
