Nov 22, 2017Don'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.
-
Nov 22, 2017EA's greedy politics are destroying great brands. The Battlefront 2 is another example. 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.

Nov 22, 2017This is absurd!
The progression system is tied to loot boxes, and to encourage buying them, you are in for a grind fest.
Do not recommend to anyone, especially if you are a Star Wars fan like me, this is not the game you're looking for. -
Nov 22, 2017EA/Dice big scam and trap to waste your money, EU should ban this kind of games. Loot boxes are a way to people loose their money and this should be banned.

Nov 22, 2017Can't give this glorified casino a low enough score. While they may make changes later to make it less of a grind, the intent was obviously to rake the players over the coals. Absolutely disgusting.
-
Nov 22, 2017Fully priced game with f2p mobile pay2win game progression and utter boring **** campaign (after the devs. spouted how awesome and incredible and experience will be)
Greedy dum dums from EA will never ever get a single cent from me ever again. Thanks for allowing me to vote with my wallet. -
Nov 23, 2017How did EA managed to fu*k this up? It seemed that they learned from their mistakes, but when one thing seems too good to be true, it really is.
If you really want to buy the game, wait for a sale you'll need the rest of the money to buy loot boxes -
Nov 23, 2017Don't buy this pathetic, greedy excuse of a Star Wars game. I loved the first 2 star wars games as a kid, and I was hoping they would get it right after the third one. I was extremely wrong. Do 5 seconds of research and you will say the same.

Nov 23, 2017The greed is strong with this one. EA is in all kinds of **** with Disney. EA is using star wars name to trick kids into gambling and turning them into future gamblers. good job EA
-
Nov 23, 2017Pay 2 win for 60 Dollars that is unbelievable. EA should not get away with this. What a horrible way to treat the consumer. The only industry that supports such poor costumer service is the gaming industry.
-
Nov 24, 2017I am not buying this trash. EA is a joke. EA hasn't published a great game in years due to their greed. They shut down great dev teams, and recently began forcing pay2win microtransactions into their newest games. I will not support EA and Will never buy this game. Stop ruining star wars and games in general.
-
Nov 24, 2017Never trust EA ...they always fine a way to Your wallet. Game it self is not bad but created only for micro-transaction system. Will never again buy EA game.
-
Nov 24, 2017Definitely no to microtransactions in full price title. If it will go further we will get microtransactions like on mobile for a game that costs as much as AAA title.
I'm not going to buy any title from EA in future.
Hope they will go grind cans... -
Nov 24, 2017after 2 damn missions you join the 'resistance' who ironically are the ones in power, multiplayer is pay to win trash and miserable balancing. along with the worst collectables on this side of the galaxy this game is a hollow mess. REFUND before its to late.

Nov 24, 2017DO NOT BUY this greedy pay-to-win excuse for a game made by a company whose sole purpose of existing has been now for a long time to milk dry your hard earned cash. F### EA! #boycottEA
-
Nov 24, 2017Words cannot begin to describe how poorly this has affected my family. Video games have been and will always be something that I look to to give me joy but this title has wrought nothing but anger and animosity in times that are supposed to be for fun and laughter. Avoid at all costs.
-
Nov 24, 2017Well it's a game you can tell that is not rushed out like the last one, but that would have been a lot more forgivable than everything being hidden behind a cash wall. I want to enjoy this game but EA has made it to where I can't and not I'm going to be avoiding their games for awhile. This sucks because I am a huge Star Wars fan and EA has done their best to try and destroy the Star Wars brand.

Nov 24, 2017I bought this game for the campaign... Ok you can stop laughing now. Worst campaign of any game I've ever played. It's a laughable, tacked on debacle. Luke Skywalker fending off wave after wave of BUGS?! Really?? Do yourself a favor and don't buy this pos.

Nov 25, 2017Of 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.
Basically, its a trap for players to encourage them to buy lootboxes. -

Nov 25, 2017This game is being investigated by the government of Belgium for its gambling content and by the state of Hawaii for its unethical business practices.
-
Nov 25, 2017This is a good old fashioned scam. Game itself is just a platform for the thing that is real centerpiece, loot boxes. Anyone who will purchase it should be ashamed.

Nov 26, 2017What about game: grindy, boring, unfair, pay2win, unplayable, killed by greed of EA.. DONT BUY IT! You will regret it. I'll nerver buy any of EA games in future. Rest in Pieces ;)
-
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, 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, 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, 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 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 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 30, 2017"Some people have more time than money, and some people have more money than time. You want to always balance those two."
-EA CFO Blake Jorgensen
I value both my time and my money and EA is just a gaming tyrant at this point with ideologies like this. -

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, 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. -
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).
-
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, 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, 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!
-
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... -
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 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, 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.

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 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 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.
-
Feb 6, 2018Thank feminists and developers who made this game for feminists. The worst game I've played in recent years. Much worse than Battlefront 1 (2015). Made warse all the details that there in the first part. Idiotic interface covering the whole screen. Idiotic gameplay. And microtransactions of course. Finally it's not game. It's bad mod for Battlefield 1. Very bad mod.

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 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 12, 2017EA.. There are no words for you scum.
Just don't buy this game just don't. Mediocre game from a ass of a corp.
I miss the days the games where complete and you get more from a expansion. -
Dec 13, 2017EA get your just desserts and realize that gamers aren't just piggy banks for you to pluck out of. Like come the hell on, and then your responses showed just how out of touch you are.
-
Dec 15, 2017Good games being ruined by greed it needs to end so we can all enjoy and play at a fare pace pay to win should not be allowed in any 60$ retail .Yes EA some of us are smart and not click buy win robots .
-
Dec 15, 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.

Dec 26, 2017Graphics are beautiful, but this is not a game. It's a grind feast. Horrible game mechanics all centered around the casino loot box system that was pulled at the last minute. The downloadable content is a joke. Save your money. Don't give it to this company. They did the Star Wars franchise a huge disservice.

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.
