Nov 17, 2017Congratulations, EA. You have earned one point. More points can be earned in 24 hours. Additional points can be purchased for $4.99 each. This is to give EA a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Pay to win, no thx. -

Nov 17, 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).
-
Nov 17, 2017Pay2win has been suspended until after EA gets every-bodies money, then it's game on (for EA at least). If EA cannot profit from $60/copy game then maybe they shouldn’t be making these games.

Nov 17, 2017EA + Disney = online poker.
Pay to win ladies and gentlemen - do not encourage this type of behavior, it is so easy to stop this, you literally have to do nothing, just don`t buy the game. -

Nov 17, 2017Even thought the game has amazing graphics the micro transactions present in this game are 'pay-to-win' and promote gambling to children. Even though EA has temporarily removed them, they also stated they will reintroduce them later. This standard is unacceptable in the gaming industry and no one should be supporting the shady and anti-consumer practices of EA.
-
Nov 24, 2017EA should quit making games and go into the casino business. They know what they did. Loot boxes and micro transactions can go to hell, EA is destroying gaming. This is too far and it's time to make a stand.
-
Dec 16, 2017You either have the star cards that make you win or you don't and you suck dick. EA = Pure evil.

Nov 22, 2017Lootboxes and ingame advantages you can buy with real money have no place in a game that costs $60 dollars. I hope Disney will set a sign and take the rights for star wars away from EA.
-
Nov 18, 2017Do not buy, we need to force EA to stop this **** If we don't there will soon be no games left to play, only stupid gambling apps. Do not trust them, microtransactions will be back.
-
Nov 17, 2017Star Wars Battlefront 2 is not a bad game by all means. But I refuse to support these garbage practices that EA is doing.
If they fix this... then I'll give it a proper review but as of now. A zero is all this game deserves. -
Nov 22, 2017EA needs to learn a lesson here. I feel really sorry for DICE. Stop killing talented studios with your predatory business practices! I wont be buying any EA games until they stop this bs.
-
Nov 17, 2017Game ruined by microtransactions. Well done EA.
To be honest it's even a trend in their games, which shows that you need to be extremely careful when buying their games. -
Feb 2, 2018This game HAD so much potential. I refuse to play it anymore after 10 hrs due to loot boxes and the coming micro transactions. Having paid $60, I believe I paid for the game already and $60 is a lot of money! Enough is enough. Not the way to make a game!! EA is evil. They are NOT gamers!

Nov 17, 2017Wanted starwars shooter got bad casino simulator. Graphics are amazing, gunplay is improved SW:BF, but it all gets put into gutter by terrible progression systems that shoves microtransactions and lootboxes into your face.
-
Nov 19, 2017This is a classic EA game, $2100 to unlock everything in the game? lootboxes for a fully priced AAA game? This is yes another recycled garbage that was looking forward to cashing in on your ignorance
Respect yourself, avoid it like a plague -
Nov 17, 2017Overwhelmingly abusive monetization.
EA doesn't even pretend they make games any longer, they make money pits.
The entire game is designed around taking your money. Having an enjoyable experience is *always* secondary. -
Dec 17, 2017EA + Disney = online poker.
Pay to win ladies and gentlemen - do not encourage this type of behavior, it is so easy to stop this, you literally have to do nothing, just don`t buy the game. -
Nov 24, 2017This game is trash and so are anyone that actually buy this game. Boycott this game and EA's micro transaction antics will go away, simple as that. These clowns that buy this game are anti-consumer and anti-gamer.

Nov 21, 2017it sucks, microtransactions aside this game is just a god awful example why branding doesn't matter, This game has almost nothing to awe over besides the visuals and sound design. Just do yourself a favor and avoid it you'll have more fun playing something else.
-
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 17, 2017EA tries to please casual gamers and hardcore gamers at the same time, but the old saying about that stands true: jack of all trades, master of none. It's not casual enough to be arcade like, and not hardcore enough to be a Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. Also, the economy debacle is worse than anything I have ever seen in a game.
-
Nov 19, 2017I certainly hope EA learns from this. stupid company.
Gotta have at least 150 characters, so well here it is.
Breath of the Wild for GOTY!
Well it's actually obvious that it will be GOTY, no other game superior to it.... Game of the century would be even better. -
Jul 8, 2020Soulless looter shooter from greedy bastards who does not play games themselves anymore.
-
Nov 17, 2017Pay to win garbage. EA bluffing about 'changes' to the currence. They are deceptively trying to damage control whilst planning to bring microtransactions back after they've sold copies of the game.
-
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 17, 2017
-
Nov 17, 2017It's not ok to have micro-transactions on a full-price game. If companies want to add micro-transactions to console games, they need at least to give the game for free, just like a mobile game.
-
Nov 17, 2017Absolute garbage. EA ruined another franchise. Absolute garbage. EA ruined another franchise. Absolute garbage. EA ruined another franchise. Absolute garbage. EA ruined another franchise.

Nov 20, 2017FIrst they scammed me with BF1 then they killed SW from visceral games and now they turned BF2 into a casino, i never gonna buy a game from this @ssholes again
-
Nov 22, 2017Complete waste of time any progression is loot-box based. If you want the game wait for legislation to be put in place to stop these companies from exploiting their fan base by adding pay 2 win mechanics in "AAA" games and loot-box based progression. Also this game has a T rating while Gambling requires you to be 18.
-
Nov 18, 2017It's not a game. It's money grab scheme with elements of game. Removing pay2win temporarily won't do anything because whole thing is built upon it. It will fall apart soon and they already looking for another way to squeeze last dollar out of you.

Nov 17, 2017Do not purchase this game and support the predatory practice of Pay-to-win in a full price game. EA has been making terrible games for years and its time people stop giving them money.
-
Nov 17, 2017with greedy ass micro transactions like this i am unable to rate this game higher than a 0, no matter how good of bad the game is. **** EA, the game is pay to win.

Dec 3, 2017Oh hey my review got removed for the second time, time to let people know again how bad is Electronic A$$holes, one of the worst game publishers for numerous reasons...
-
Nov 20, 2017
-
Nov 17, 2017This game would deserve at least a 7 or 8 out of 10.
But no. This is not tolerable. Straight out greed with progression-tied loot boxes. They abuse the fact that there are people who spend thousands of currency because they need the thrill of opening a lootbox. Thats why, a straight up 0. You should get all the content after paying for that 60$ -
Nov 17, 2017This game contains loot boxes in order to better exploit customer who have already paid full price for the game as well as the season pass. Do not buy this game under any circumstances.
-
Nov 25, 2017Game is Pay to Win do not buy it period. They are not fixing this problem only trying to cover it up. A game like this is not worth buying when there are so many other good games to play.
-
Dec 6, 2017Do not buy this game. Do not support greedy publishers who treat customers as garbage. Pay-to-win isn't acceptable for full price titles like Star Wars Battlefront II.
-
Nov 17, 2017No game should treat its consumer base like atm's, designing entire systems meant to exploit the psychology of players into being pressured to pay to get ahead. Shame on EA for ruining the Star Wars Brand name with this shameless cashgrab
-
Nov 17, 2017Played is and it is buggy as **** on PS4, One X runs fine and looks good. But EA shouldn't be given any slack on this unbalanced, pay to win, gambling game. And the writing is the worst. Why should everyone in the galaxy just happen to show during the campaign. This game is the worst, EA is even worse than that.
-
Nov 24, 2017This not a $60 game. This is a $2100 game. You'll have to spend this much cash just to unlock the content of the base game. This does not include and future content in the $eason pa$$. This is a joke and a stickup. EA is literally trying to mug gamers by microtransaction assault.
-
Nov 17, 2017What is the world coming to with crap like this ?? We cannot as gamers support this kind of no shame money grabbing that is going on. Lets stand up and show them what we think.
-
Nov 17, 2017This game deserved to die horribly in a fire. Mediocre campaign, recycled multiplayer with very little content to keep it exciting, gets extremely boring after the first few days of playing. Without the micro transaction bs the game would be average. Save your money, wait till its 20 bucks in a few months, which it will i promise you.
-
Nov 23, 2017En realidad el juego me decepciono, tiene el potencial de haber sido mejor que el Battlefront anterior, sin embargo, la macro-agresiones a las que EA llama microtransacciones arruinan totalmente el juego y no puedes quitarte la sensacion de que quieren estafarte para poder progresar ya que TODO se consigue mediante cajitas las cuales tienen costos altos
-
Nov 17, 2017Devs kill most important part of the Battlefiled game series - team play, ability to play with friend in platoons realy influencing on curse of the battle. This game is just another boring shooter like CoD. Shamefull display. This is not a Battlefield!
-
Nov 19, 2017Dont buy this game. Full AAA price for a P2W game. There is absolutely ZERO progression in playing this game, unless u buy their loot crates. This was EAs chance to redeem them self to the gaming community, and they f***ed it so bad u have to wonder what the heck they was thinking. They take u, the costumer, as an idiot. If u feel like a idiot, go ahead, buy this game.
-
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 17, 2017
-
Nov 18, 2017Essentially not a purchase Battlefront 2 any there is more game from EA. In an ass you greedy EA. And the most sad - a game itself not bad, though releases DICE crude projects, but they always have the charm and an excellent multiplayer. But EA everything kill. At first they have killed with Bioware, then Visceral Games and here now can observe the beginning of death of DICE.
-
Nov 22, 2017Good game but the worst progression system ever seen, so no fun. Pay to win will be back soon, so dont buy this game, its all about gambling and addiciton.
-
Nov 19, 2017EA should be ashamed. I’ll never buy another game from this company of thieves. Microtransactions and pay 2 win aren’t acceptable mechanisms EVER!
-
Nov 17, 2017Pay-to-win and lootboxes thanks. I dont want this game, paying or free. **** you EA.
"Temporally no lootboxes", its a good strategy for sell more copies the launch day. -
Nov 17, 2017Pay to win??? No MORE PLEASE. NEVER MORE. From Argentina we dont want this politics. We need to finish this with all the people together. RIP MICRO PAGOS!
-
Nov 19, 2017Why this score? For the amount of GREED ea has. The game is so/so, but 40 hours for a single hero? Then lying about price drop when you actually have a credit earning drop as well, not changing anything? EA, the cancer of gaming!
-
Nov 17, 2017Full of bugs, now that the microtransactions are gone there is no way to progress in the game, shows how fundamental the lootboxes are to unlock anything. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID!
-
Nov 17, 2017
-
Nov 20, 2017EA is the worst gaming company ever. Do they seriously expect us to play 5000 hours just to get some good characters without paying? Loot boxes are the worst and EA should feel ashamed. I will never buy any EA products ever after this. All they do is ruin my favorite hobby. And just make lowest common denominator games.
-
Nov 17, 2017It's atrocious what gaming has come to. Microtransactions, lootboxes; the greed knows no bounds. Do not buy this game. Do not support the practice of microtransactions. This habit needs to die and EA needs to learn.
-
Nov 25, 2017Please, don't buy this game. it turns a beloved franchised into a dirty casino. You have to spend a lot of cash to have access to the best characters and items. They say you can do it without spending money, but EA don't mention that you will need to play for at least 50hrs to get ONE good character.
-
Jan 23, 2019Take away the Star Wars licence from EA, this isn't about customers, It's all about investors for them.

Nov 20, 2017Pay to win garbage.
Pay for a $60-$80 game and almost all of your abilities and boosts locked behind a paywall.
Don`t fall for TEMPORARILY disabled microtransactions!
DO NOT BUY!! -
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 21, 2017I refuse to support ea or any publisher that utilizes a pay to win system. I will not buy another ea product till they start conducting business in an ethical manor

Nov 17, 2017This game is the epitome of anti-consumerism and corporate greed. Don't be fooled by EA TEMPORARILY removing microtranscations, they'll wait for Reddit to die down and then put them right back in. Good game, but we can't just assume that since everyone else is going to buy this game anyways that you not buying it won't make a difference. Vote with your wallets people.

Nov 17, 2017EA killed a great game by demanding loot boxes for their progression system.
They have taken out the ability to purchase loot boxes with real money (for now) but it still takes 4000 hours to unlock everything. -
Dec 25, 2017
-
Nov 18, 2017EA has gone Greedier with microtransaction with every new release, even after the removal the damage is already done. There is a huge chance that EA would restore "Pay to Win" microtransactions.
-
Nov 24, 2017Stop supporting this horrible company. They keep making bad games until you stop buying them. EA symbolizes everything that is wrong with the video game industry.
-
Nov 17, 2017A real step up from the previous game, but spoilt by the loot box mechanics, how can EA get away with this? They can't, user reviews are speaking volumes about the game.

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.
-
Nov 18, 2017This "game" more like this platform for selling loot boxes has litteraly no reason to exist in our computers and consoles. If you want to play a slot machine, then go play a slot machine into some casino.

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.
