    EA Battlefront 2 is not an actual game. This is a platform for microtransactions and lootboxes. Hostile and aggressive anti-consumer attitude towards players have ruined, what could have been a fun and enjoyable experience.

    Love the idea behind a star wars video game. Have been a long time star wars fan but this game is ruining the entire name "Star Wars". No one even talks about the next upcoming movie, it's just about how bad this company scratched out their name. Money gouging company that has done this for a long time and finally took it way to far.

    It is a speedy pewpewfest without any sort of advanced tactics or sense of presence, in glorious graphics, with a horrible horrible progressionsystem. So many missed opportunities. Not even mentioning the pay2win feature currently disabled.

    There is also a very poor and average plot that takes several tiring hours.

Much of my (greater than zero points) is based on that alone. I really enjoy the space battles. For the most part, they play really well. They are frantic, grand, and confusing. What good dogfight should be. The objectives are good too. I think it has a lot more depth in this mode, compared to its predecessor. All in all, this is a great game, at its core.

    The problem, is they take a solid core and then shred it with a progression system that is confusing, slow (unrewarding), and built around paid lootbox progression.

    I was unhappy with the paid loot boxes going in. The game is Pay to Win. Anyone that says it's not doesn't understand the concept or are 100% fanboys. You have a very large number of "star cards" you can get. You need a certain number/level of star cards, to open your slot 2. Now, I have played through the entire single player mission, about 7 hours of multiplayer, and 4 "arcade" missions. I have unlocked level 2 cards (out of 3 levels) for 1 character. That is all. ALL of my multiplayer time has been playing the 24 man spaceship missions. I've earned probably a dozen or so loot boxes in that time. That is all. After spending 20 minutes or more in a match, you get some credits (I am getting between 100- around 350... with most games giving me a little over 200 credits) The one saving grace, is progression challenges. As they run out, your ability to really earn many credits does as well. This system, right here, is broken. It is painfully obvious you are supposed to supplement your earning of loot boxes with paid loot boxes. A $60 game should NOT be additionally monetized how freemium games are. That is double-dipping. Choose one or the other... if you use both, you are exploiting your customers. Oh, and I want to go back to progression in Arade. After playing 5 games, I was told I got 0 credits for the last game (no warning) and there was a 2 hour lockout before I could earn credits in arcade again. This is a travesty. Though, I do admit, I found arcade mode to be pretty lame. But again, they lock parts of the game out, for earning credits legitimately, to force you to purchase more. (It's painfully obvious with paid loot boxes out.

    On top of the 100% broken progression system, the game just has bugs. In a game tonight, everyone was complaining about rubber banding (and I crashed numerous times, or instantly blew up for no reason). On top of this, you get disconnected randomly after a match and sit waiting for a new game that never comes... You then disconnect and rejoin to be back at the beginning of the map rotation. "

    This game has a lot going for it. It is a solid shooter with a very well done Star Wars dressing on it. Then, with a few major bugs and a terribly broken progression system, the game pretty much does a face plant. This game really needs a demo to see if you can look past the broken sub-systems enough to enjoy the game. But, as it is, they don't offer one. I'd say pass on this game. If it comes down to $25, it would probably worth a buy. At $60, you are being ripped off. At the higher tier, you are really being ripped off.    … Expand

Also, pay for win content is retarded, you ostracise new players as rich players just over run them with their army of over powerful characters. The crates should be cosmetic items only.

    Update: Just finished the single player campaign, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Captures the Star Wars feel for me! Loved it! Increased review score from 5 to 8. Am also having fun in multiplayer avoiding the hero mode game and playing 8 v 8 team games! Despite the crate disaster, the game is fun and well made.    … Expand

They reduced all credits, right now it doesn't feel to me as a too long grind. Personally I don't feel bad killed by players who already obtained these items through payment, it's something to work for and if I have it I can say I didn't pay for it. It would have been really bad if you can buy items which are not obtainable through playing, but that's not the case.

    The fact that lootboxes are random for me as player is fine and fun, I actually like it (it's like drops in World of warcraft), you either be lucky or not. But the randomness for people who pay for it, is bad design I think. To be honest if it was to me, I would say cosmetic items only aswell by the way, don't get me wrong.

    I bought this game after they got their microtransactions removed (for PC it was only €45 via instant gaming cdkey). I wanted this game anway because it looked so badass and the beta was great fun!

    I did not play the campaign yet, so can't judge on that. But the Multiplayer honestly is amazing. Haven't had so much fun for years playing a game. I really regret that I bought CoD WW2 last week, because this is so much better. I refuned battlefront 1, because it just didn't do it for me. But this one deserves a solid 8. Could be a 9 if they fix some minor bugs, add leaderboards, stats for all weapons. But this could be added in the feature probably. The many content right now is already amazing, and free DLC is coming aswell.

    I really think if they come back with the microtransactions to be pure cosmetic only, this game is really good.

    And although I really understand that EA screwed this up, I think you should give the people from DICE who has delivered this game a second chance. But that's up to you ofcourse, I don't regret it :-)

    I'm not a fanboy or anything, just a casual gamer who really enjoys the expericence so far!

You land shots but doesn't do much. It is a horrible grind to unlock anything good and youre against people who have the game for almost a week with everything boosted or unlocked.

    The pay to win (PTW) roll out with this game ruined it because people already in the game have everything they need to be super strong.

    They aren't happy with a large, or even hugely successful sellout, they want ongoing revenue. So pay to win is introduced. When this invariably causes a huge backlash, due to introduced time-sink grind mechanics, forced waiting periods, and loot crates that aren't just cosmetic, they have a chance to address and fix the issues. They don't. They remove pay to win... temporarily, no real backtrack, these same mechanics will be back. The grind to unlock heroes is unreasonable. The pay to win aspects are unfair. It's a full priced game that should be free to play, but wants the worst of both worlds (high price + micro-transactions). I returned my pre-order, and counselled everyone I know to do the same until EA learns from this debacle.

And if you win, you're not sure if it's because of your own ability or if your team just had more bonuses.

    The entire game feels like it was built around the progression system. Games have just enough players to feel immersive, but few enough that you encounter the same people again and again and getting familiar with their power ups, which the game kindly shows you upon your death.

    Communication is literally non-existent. There is no chat or command function. You have absolutely zero way of coordinating an attack or defense.

    There are a lot of bugs. I've had sound drop out, run into invisible objects, gadgets not work properly, and occasionally get stuck in the environment.

    Server selection screen is again idiotic - "new matchmaking" instead of classic browser with filter.
    No normal conquest mode. Gameplay is very chaotic (vs Battlefield, TF and BFront 1) (not due to the levels - they are more or less - but due to idiotic game modes and only 40 persons cap). Squad selection is also not very friendly. No spots. Minimap is useless. Hud is useless. No fell of SW battles at all.
    Weapons maybe canon, but they are way to arcade. In Battlefront 1 they were more "solid", does not know how to explain this...

    Bad Bad Bad WHY MORE DONATIONS Really game 60$ and unlimited donation Pay to Win Score 0!
    Please, 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.

    I'm just going to be straightforward here. Microtransactions on top of a hefty price tag for a full game = an immediate 0 rating. If the rating could get more negative than 0, I would have chosen that. Please don't encourage corrupted greedy corporations led by men who might not even share the same passion as gamers and only think about getting more money in their pocket.

    Микротранзакции в игре за 60$ при этом не просто косметики, а преимущества в игровом процессе, это всё что нужно знать что бы отказаться от покупки. Такой наглости ещё не было

    a laborious and penalizing progression. A bad pay to win game. Battlefront 2 was created in order to extract as much money as possible from its users!

    Game looks stunning and immersive, people are complaining too much giving unrealistic scores just because they dont like micro transactions neither i love them (btw that are removed) it is dumb to judge game by that. Everything is done great. Campaign, Arcade Mode and Multiplayer, only thing i miss is Galactic Conquest. GG EA

    ..."these aren't the droids you're (We're) looking for!" Trust me! Don't buy it... At least not just yet. Let's teach EA a lesson. EA claims that switching off microtransactions won't hurt its finances.... Well how about sales?! Don't BUY!

    This game is a mixed bag to be honest; It looks fantastic, it has solid shooter game play, the same goes for starfighter modes too and the campaign is a decent (but not amazing) story.

    But then there's loot boxes, micro-transactions and pretty much everything wrong with the game industry, all have managed to get into this game and it is such a shame but it's probably easier to do this bit by bit.

    I'll start off with the Single player then:

    Campaign:
    While not the best (or most original) Star Wars story I've seen it does its job, it showcases solid game play, beautiful graphics for both character models and locations while tying it all together with some pretty great voice acting... and unfortunately that is all I have to say about it, there is a lot of wasted potential here and I'm hoping this is utilised in the DLC seasons that are on the way.

    Arcade:
    Another example of wasted potential here, while fun the battle scenarios are a bit limited. Custom arcade however is a great idea but currently very bare bones, we currently only have 2 game modes with the largest being a 10 vs 10 death match style game, while this is OK there much bigger and better game modes in the multiplayer and these really need to make there way over to arcade for it to be anything more than a quick distraction. (Oh and I think all of the blasters should be available in arcade like they were in skirmish from the last game).

    Now for the multiplayer, this sadly is where the game falls apart. While having more game modes and the same solid game play as before it is horrendously unbalanced, this is completely due to the games loot box progression system and it's frankly awful.
    All of the star cards are in these loot boxes which have such a high purchase price it is a grind just to get one or two boxes and it's the same for hero unlocks, unlike arcade mode many of the heroes are locked behind a huge grind (apparently 40+ hours).
    This needs to drastically change in order to make the multiplayer worth while.

    In conclusion, the game itself is a solid shooter but many of the game modes aren't fleshed out enough for them to be substantial, the biggest problem here is the loot box system and EA or Dice need to seriously look at this as it is ruining an other wise pretty good game.
    There are additions and changes coming over the next year or so, hopefully these make the necessary changes needed to do the game justice, until then however I can't give the game anything higher than a 6/10.    … Expand

    Gambling: The video game.

    The micro transactions in this game would be unwelcome in a free to play game, let alone a $60-$90 premium AAA game. Please do not support this business strategy, and do not buy into their promise to fix it. They're just going to re-add the same manipulative gambling after players quit talking about it.

    It's easy, really. Don't expect anything good from EA, don't buy this scam, not even on a sale. just wait for Star Wars Battlefront III. If that's any good: buy it; if not: wait for SWBF IV. Or play something else.

    The game has great visuals. That is the only thing 'great' about it. Gamble box (loot box) progression system is seriously flawed, having characters locked in a $60 AAA game is just dumb; it feels like a free to play game that they're also charging $60 for. Whatever you do, don't buy it.

    This "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.

    I am truly disgusted by EA. All they had to do was make a good game, instead they milked the brand for money and showed zero respect for the brand and what came before. EA is the perfect example of what is destroying the games industry. Shame!

You need to realize that EA understands only the language of money, nothing else can interest them. So, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DON'T BUY THIS GAME! If you ignore this advice, other studios will destroy their projects as well. We must show them that this is not permissible to add free to play mobile strategics in AAA project like this.

    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]
