    I was in the beta for Battlefront I and took a pass on it because I found it to be a bit too repetitive and not that much fun...man I really wish I did the same for this.

Starfighter Assault isn't much better as ships either handle like an drunk elephant or a coked up slippery dolphin. Ugh...definitely pass on this game.… Expand

    This game is flawed on multiple levels and any objective person who would be able to see that.

    Cons:
    - Progression in this game is absolutely terrible. Once you have completed all the challenges and used up the initial inflow of credits, it becomes a terrible grind to unlock characters or get crates.
    - Maps are imbalanced and usually favors one side.
    - Farming (by either killing AIs or AFK farming) is rampant. AI farming can also have a snowball effect.
    - Servers are really bad. The lag and rubber-banding makes MP a terrible experience. Some game modes are pretty much unplayable.
    - The mechanics of the game still works against you. You should be able to unlock almost every card with about 100ish hour of gameplay. Right now after 30 hours, I hardly have 10% of the cards and its just downhill from here.
    -

    Pros:
    1. The game looks beautiful. The maps are diverse and each map gives you a different feel.
    2. The heroes are a manageable threat. They will kill you if you try to go 1v1 with them but are easily countered with a small group.    … Expand

    I don't even know where to start with this garbage pile, but let's just dive right in shall we?

    Remember when you could buy a game and it'd be a finished product? EA expects you to drop 80+ dollars on this game that can't even function properly. With only a week and a half under its belt, Battlefront II's servers are constantly plagued by rubber banding and server lag.

    Remember when you could buy a game and it'd be a finished product? EA expects you to drop 80+ dollars on this game that can't even function properly. With only a week and a half under its belt, Battlefront II's servers are constantly plagued by rubber banding and server lag. It makes it literally unplayable for their own buyers. The overbearing microtransactions are gone for the moment, but this is only because Disney forced EA to pull them and redesign them. However it JUST slipped their minds that with the microtransactions gone, the only way to progress and level up your character is to farm credits bit by bit in a painfully slow grind via the mindless, boring arcade or the woefully unbalanced multiplayer.

    Now let me make this clear; Battlefront I ran off pure cheese and Battlefront II is no different. I understand this and accept this. I managed to eke out a reasonable amount of fun from the first game when I adapted to the inane madness that is its multiplayer. But Battlefront II gives you no time at all to do this. Since the real life money loot box system got pulled, EA also removed the credit reward based on match performance. It's now tied to time spent in the match. You'll be lucky to have a match last longer than 7 or 8 minutes because each mode feels deliberately designed to be short and generally unsatisfying. There are several maps to play on but there is no rhyme or reason as to which ones are selected, leading to some maps being overplayed and some barely at all. 33 hours in and I've played on Hoth twice, but Naboo probably 10+ times via Galactic Assault.

    The single point in this review goes towards the hero balance. DICE actually managed to pull this part off quite nicely; Heroes are fair, balanced and require skill. Careful application of abilities is tantamount to survival and performing well. No longer are heroes random god pickups that allow players to gain an unfair advantage and go on a rampage against the enemy team. It's entirely possible to still do this but it's also entirely possible for a random stormtrooper to put you down from a few well placed shots. Once again I find myself writing that Heroes vs Villains is the only game mode I genuinely enjoyed. Oh, and NO, I am not giving it extra points for the graphics and sound design. Battlefront 1 already had that down, and it's not like making a game look and sound amazing with the Frostbite engine is something fresh and new, it's expected by now. Unfortunately for all of us shiny, fancy graphics doesn't make for a good game.

    There is a campaign but does that even deserve writing? It's your average six hours long, head shot simulator shooting gallery and the story is complete garbage. To spare you the details if you absolutely insist on playing it, if you were hoping for a chance to fight for the Empire and see some explanation as to what happened between episodes 6 and 7, fat chance. All it does is confuse things even more and ham-fist a corny, completely obvious and uninteresting, nonsensical plot into your face at every given opportunity. And yes, this IS canon because Disney. Anybody else wish Legends was still canon? I know I do.

    Overall, a laughable excuse for a game of this caliber. I hold little hope that DICE, an actually talented and well oiled machine that CAN make great games, will manage to work past EA's negligence and incompetence to patch the stupid bugs, server lag and other problems for a salvageable experience. Save yourself the trouble of suffering with the rest of us and wait, or go play the original Battlefront II.    … Expand

    Battlefront 2 is a lot like the first Battlefront 2 that came out over ten years ago, except with half the content, a mediocre campaign, and microtransactions lurking behind every corner. The first battlefront 2 is so many leagues better than this game that I will mostly be comparing it to its predecessor instead, Battlefront EA, which still manages to be better.

    -Campaign The campaign    Battlefront 2 is a lot like the first Battlefront 2 that came out over ten years ago, except with half the content, a mediocre campaign, and microtransactions lurking behind every corner. The first battlefront 2 is so many leagues better than this game that I will mostly be comparing it to its predecessor instead, Battlefront EA, which still manages to be better.

    -Campaign
    The campaign takes you from cutscene to cutscene as you play as, well, a variety of characters actually. Each mission is constructed as an extremely linear arcade shooter that takes you less than half an hour to complete, and after a pitiful five hours of gameplay, the campaign is finished with one of the most uninteresting cliffhangers I've ever witnessed. Some of the characters (not really the main one) are surprisingly well developed, however the intermission as you play as "hero" characters inbetween feels completely pointless. It would be much better if they each had individual short stories instead of being intertwined with the main campaign. There's also no campaign for the Clone Wars or First Order. I believed the game would make you sympathize with the Empire, as did BF 2, but it instead somehow portrays them even worse than in the movie. The graphics are nice though.

    Multiplayer
    Multiplayer is an absolute lag-fest, featuring the worst latency I've ever seen in my life for any game. This is a server-wide issue and has nothing to do with an individual's internet, meaning everyone is lagging, not just you. This makes multiplayer modes like Starfighter assault virtually unplayable. Long matchmaking times for modes like Heroes vs Villains make it feel like the game is already dying, as finding a single match usually takes upwards of 5 minutes. Hero, special trooper, and vehicle unlocks now depend on how many points you accumulate throughout the match, meaning that if you're a bad player, good luck ever getting your hands on Luke Skywalker. There can also be multiple heroes on the battlefield, and each hero is extremely underpowered compared to how they were in BF EA. You also need to unlock certain heroes with credits before you can have the privilege of playing as them. EA explained this as "a sense of accomplishment", but if anyone actually believes that, I have a bridge to sell you. The actual (and blatantly obvious reason) for this is because credits can also be used to buy loot crates, so this encourages you to spend your credits on the stupid hero unlocks, and then buy loot crates with real money, and I'm astonished people actually continue to believe EA's idiotic excuse for it. The scoreboard is generally pointless, as the top players usually fly around and shoot down AI ships while contributing nothing to the team, and someone who actually caries the team and is on point throughout the entire game gets nothing. For example, the "blowing up disrupters" objective gives you 500 points, but only if you are standing near it when it explodes. If you hold the objective for 3 whole minutes buy yourself and prevent the enemy team from taking it but you get killed the second before it explodes, you get absolutely nothing. However, if you're running around the map without helping your team and you happen to touch the point right as it gets captured, you receive all the points. Credit rewards at the end of the map aren't based on how well you did, but how long you played and how long the match lasted. The star card system also enforces the pay-to-win archetype in which whoever is willing to spend the most money gets the greatest advantage. Modes like Heroes vs Villains are less fun, and character customization has been ripped from the game. Also, getting shot through walls is a very common occurrence, maybe there will be a dlc for it.

    Arcade
    You can now create custom matches to play on against ai, just like instant action in BF 2! Except it's extremely disappointing and doesn't have half of the options. Arcade in BF 2 EA is definitely better than BF EA however, but that's like saying a musty sock smells better than a pile of crap. I still managed to squeeze about 4-5 good hours out of it before I never wanted to play it again, unlike the good 100+ I got out of the good BF 2 10 years ago.

    All in all, Battlefront 2 is like taking a trip back to your youth and playing with your favorite childhood toy, except this is a cheap knockoff brand that keeps prompting you to spend more money. It's not actually a 0 out of 10, I give it that score because microtransactions in multiplayer for a 60 dollar game are unacceptable. Excluding microtransactions, it's probably a close 5. It's a painfully average shooter with the star wars label tacked onto it, making that its single redeeming quality. So yes, I strongly encourage you to by Battlefront 2. The 2005 version, I mean.    … Expand

    Of course, this game is a good quality but, progress scheme based on loot boxes, no matter whether you can purchase them for real money or credits obtainable from a game. This makes this game very disapointing by slowing down progress dependant on crafting material found ONLY in lootboxes.

    4- only 4 hours of single player story with the most cliche situations you could face.

    5- videos from cutscenes looks horrible and stutter all the way. It's 2017 but my octacore machine with a GTX 1080 Ti can't play what seems to be less than 720p quality videos without stuttering.

    This not a $60 game. This is a $2100 game. You'll have to spend this much cash just to unlock the content of the base game. This does not include and future content in the $eason pa$$. This is a joke and a stickup. EA is literally trying to mug gamers by microtransaction assault.

Progression is waaaaay too slow in multiplayer, and the microtransactions make progression even worse; this is compounded by the fact that you get useless emotes in the same packs you get actual upgrades from, making unlocking star cards for units you actually want to use even more difficult. Given the game's monetization model and progression stopping loot box system at the center of the game, 3/10 is being generous (and that's mostly for the visuals and immersion). If loot boxes are removed and replaced with a better progression system (that is not RNG-based and unrewarding) I could still only see the game getting a 7/10 due to limited gameplay options and removal of past title's innovative tactics.… Expand

    Like a Freemium mobile game, except you pay $70 up front.

    People who think this game should be judged separately from its monetisation methods is ignoring the fact that the game was LITERALLY designed with how to extract every single cent from players in mind. That's the CORE gameplay design. How to empty their customers' wallets.

This review is ignoring the lootcrates/progression stuff. Even ignoring that, it has big issues of its own.

    Firstly, the campaign is a solid "Okay". Its not great in terms of gameplay and its a little cheap when you recognise large areas are copy and pasted from the multiplayer maps. The story is good. If you enjoy Star Wars stories then you'll probably like it and its always nice to play as some of the icons of the movies. Although it does seem like huge parts of the story are missing. There are times when you finish one mission, get a cutscene and suddenly it's been several months and thats it; onto the next arc.

    Arcade mode is mostly a gimmick. The AI is dumb and for me, there was just no fun to be had doing the challenges. Makes me miss Galactic Conquest a whole lot more....

    Heroes vs Villains is probably the mode needing the most teamwork and rewards it pretty well. Plenty of fun to be had although my impression is that the Dark Side is much, much stronger than the Light.

    Starfighter Assault... It was the biggest reason for me getting the game after really enjoying it during the beta. But after a few hours you really notice how dumbed down it is. The sheer amount of bots really diminishes the sense of accomplishment of killing an enemy and when you come across and actual player, its really down to luck as to who sees the other first. You die incredibly quickly and no matter the match-up; if someone is behind you, you will die and there's very, very little you can do about it.

    Galactic Assault can be fun. However the game tries its absolute hardest not to be.
    The maps are genuinely some of the worst I have ever played in a shooter. When you have teams of 20 vs 20 and there are single objective points which need to be held, all ideas of strategic planning and teamwork goes straight out the window. It descends into "throw grenade, run to cover in/near the objective and hope for the best". Takodana phase 1 is the worst offender for this but Kamino is another, but at least that is split between 3 main corridors.
    Then there are other maps where phases are just impossible to win for one team. I have never, in ~33 hours of Galactic Assault, seen Republic win phase 1 of Kashyyyk or the Rebels win phase 1 of Hoth. The best you can hope for is to make a dent on the attacker's ticket counter and completely ignore the objective.

    The game overall, visually, is stunning. But it is seriously lacking and the more you play, the more you begin to notice is actually quite bad. For example, Kashyyyk: it looks amazing and during the starting sequence you see lasers and explosions and it gets you hyped but after playing it a few times you notice that these scripted events deceive you and make the game look more dynamic than it truly is. The same goes for most of the Galactic Assault and Starfighter Assault maps. There's a huge amount of scripted events covering over the fairly dull and repetitive gameplay. A whole lot of invested development time making the game look good, while not a lot has gone into making it play good.    … Expand

Mediocre single player campaign with less than 4 hours gameplay and pay to win multiplayer mode made this game worth zero $. It's a shame that DICE lost their soul for EA. I hope EA will bankrupt one day and these brands will find a new home. Help us players - don't buy this game - your are our only hope.

    It's a solid 'zero'.
    Bug riddled, sales scam driven, grindy garbage deployed by EA. Instant return. Don't get it from the source that will not refund your money!

    Don't fall for it. They only care about money. We're talking about EA, a once inspiring company with great potential, now turned into a crapfest that works with Lucasfilm once again to profit from your hard earned money.

    Absolute trash. I will never buy a game from EA, Ubisoft again. I pay to play a game, not to pay to pay to pay to pay..... Don't buy this and don't even preorder EA games again.

    Pros:
    - Una gráfica muy bien detallada.
    - Una campaña que engancha y es muy fiel. - Los modos multijugador están bastante bien, mapas grandes. Contra: - En el modo multijugador no hay modo Fanático/Extremo. - Pese que temporalmente hayan anunciado el cese de los micropagos, me parecen unas políticas abusivas. Jamás se debe consentir que para exprimir al máximo el juego debas de pagar    Pros:

    Star wars Battle Front 2
    Hit and Miss
    Star Wars Battlefront 2, is of course the sequel to the online only star wars battlefront, but this time it adds a campaign, and boy is it disappointing… Before I start, I’m going to make it clear that I’m not a star wars fan… I’m reviewing this game as a game.. license unattached… And if you’re not a star wars fan, this 4 and a half hour long    Star wars Battle Front 2
    Hit and Miss
    Star Wars Battlefront 2, is of course the sequel to the online only star wars battlefront, but this time it adds a campaign, and boy is it disappointing…
    Before I start, I’m going to make it clear that I’m not a star wars fan…
    I’m reviewing this game as a game.. license unattached…
    And if you’re not a star wars fan, this 4 and a half hour long campaign is a gigantic waste of your time.
    This is easily the most generic garbage I’ve ever suffered through...
    IT plays, is delivered, and feels like a 2010 ps3 game…
    The campaign tells the story of Iden Versio mostly... though not primarily…
    Infact half of the time not at all…
    You get a bit of a perspective of the dark side, as shes the commander of the inferno squad
    but the game make a huge mistake of following different paths of multiple heroes... characters you know...
    minor spoilers, but youll be light sabering it up which was easily my favorite parts of this campaign…
    And these great moments are interrupted with space battles that go on way too long and an uninspired least fun of all time linear 3rd person shooting adventure where you can play around with the idea of cards.. As every hero you play in the campaign has their own special moves on a cool down they can use... but as iden you can swap these cards for different grenade tpyes for example... or perk like health regeneration and shield...
    I found the campaign to be a great way to introduce the mechanics of the online and for that reason is worth checking out… but nothing more as it’s just a bunch of shoot everything in your way while you get to a checkpoint, and defending positions while an npc interacts with an item… that’s it..
    There are a few okay missions here and there… but none of them are ever fun... at all...
    Again if you’re not a star wars fan just use it as a tutorial mode and get out of there...
    There’s no fun, no meaningful story... theres nothing here…
    Though completing the campaign does reward you with credits and loot boxes to give you a little head start online...
    Thankfully the online unlike the campaign is fun and is this games saving grace
    Online features 5 different modes, the 2 big ones 40 player classic assault which is objective based of defending and attacking positions or items and there’s the 24 player Starfighter assault, which is a bit like classic but in space…
    these 2 game modes aren’t really what I enjoy in competitive modes and had me more frustrated with the pay to win feel of the game where players can all have more powerful cards, and again with 40 players running around you’re going to die pretty quickly in this mode if you’re a newbie..
    You’re better off building yourself up in the other 3 modes first and coming back to these 2 later
    I was afraid I was going to tear this game apart in my review until I played these much smaller game modes there’s blast with is 20 player call of duty style team death match, 16 player strike which is another objective based game mode,
    All 4 of these modes you’ll be getting kills and earning points to bring in support from heroes and star craft to clean house and potentially turn the tables in a losing battle…
    and then there’s my personal favorite 8 player heroes vs villains… where there is no saving up points..
    Everyone starts as a hero character and it’s a game of attacking targets while defending your team mate…
    This mode is a blast to me, and by itself changed my overall opinion of this game..
    Everyone feels over powered... it’s just a matter of who can use their powers the best...
    The controversy of this game comes mostly in the microtransactions which are currently disabled...
    But there is a loot crate system where you can buy crates with credits earned in game from clearing challenges and finishing matches… and in these crates are cards, credits, and crafting materials…
    Cards are bonuses you can attach to your characters... and this is what makes the game feel pay to win…
    Your characters don’t get stronger by you using them.. They only get stronger by luck of the drawn…
    Though you are able to craft cards of your choice with the crafting parts you earn and you can increase the power of these cards with these parts... though these are a bit rare
    I don’t find these cards to be as big of an issue in smaller modes oddly because I feel youre given more space to rely on your skill as a player…
    But in the larger modes youll definitely notice the buffed up players as their cards flash across your screen while theyre killing you over and over again with their upgraded grenades and turrets…
    its annoying..
    Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a bit of a let down to me, and im not even a star wars fan…
    But there is fun to be had here in its online.. Especially in its smaller modes...
    I give Star Wars Battlefront 2

    You can buy a meal at a Michelin 3 star restaurant but if someone sprinkles a little bit of manure over it the food becomes inedible. This is what EA has done to this game. There is a reason why the old Battlefield 3 and 4 system is so popular, it's honest and it works.

    The gameplay starts out as fun and interesting, but quickly becomes repetitive and a grind. The class milestones to upgrade weapons becomes monotonous and boring.

    PROS: The maps and worlds are faithfully recreated and bring the movies and characters to life The classes offer some greater distinction than in Battlefront 1, but don't go far enough to diversify the gameplay The gunplay    The gameplay starts out as fun and interesting, but quickly becomes repetitive and a grind.

    PROS:
    The maps and worlds are faithfully recreated and bring the movies and characters to life
    The classes offer some greater distinction than in Battlefront 1, but don't go far enough to diversify the gameplay
    The gunplay feels slightly better and less arcade-y than before

    CONS:
    Class are balanced badly
    Lag spikes can destroy are annoying at best and firefight losing at worst
    Players who have invested time (or money) will always beat you out in a straight firefight because of their advantage in starcards and ability cards
    The gameplay becomes monotonous and boring just to unlock milestones and get slightly better weapons
    Weapons do not seem better than the ones before, but only different. Some might be better at range while others have a higher rate of fire, but they aren't all around better for investing time into'

    For the reasons above, I refunded the game after playing it for around 20 hours.    … Expand

    More loot boxes? Funny thing is without EA share prices dropping and without getting a call from the Disney CEO those loot boxes wouldn't have been temporarily been disabled. How dare they tarnish the Star Wars IP in such a way.

    Why would you want to support these greedy c*nts? Death to EA, they are a shady company that has no business making games. They are just here to empty your pockets and little kids parents credit cards. They may have removed loot boxes but it isn't permanent but they will be back. MAKE EA FEEL THIS. BOYCOTT EA!

    Who in their right mind would buy this game? You are supporting an awful trend in video games that will only continue if games like these are successful. There is a good game in here, EA and DICE just need to get over the greed factor in order to provide that version of the game for us. Until then, screw those guys.

    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.

    There's fun to be had, but for every step towards the Light Side, there's a foot stuck firmly in the Dark Side of bad design decisions. [Issue#269, p.52]
