    I mean its obvious that they made this game to be an online game which I think is good at being one they don't even show you how to play singleplayer I think they just made single-player so fans can STFU
    but I think online is great
    online has some problems too such as not finding players and servers even tho it has players and sometimes it says finding x amount of player but it never does

Unfortunately, this attempt failed miserably. Not only was it mired in controversy, but the core mechanics and gameplay are lackluster and leave much to be desired. Melee heroes are difficult and unwieldy with their forced movement animations, gunplay is often interrupted because of the recharging weapon system instead of conventional ammo, battles are most often confined and formulaic with a few strategies leading to victory each time. The classes still do not reflect the classic battlefront feel and are largely unbalanced with certain classes being rendered obsolete on certain maps while others are nearly unstoppable. Heroes too are unbalanced as some heroes have a plethora of ranged abilities that prevent enemies from getting close enough to attack effectively, whereas others have abilities that are largely useless in most situations. Map design is uninspired and even inaccurate at times with the majority of maps being three-lane just like Call of Duty's maps. This leaves little room for creativity and style and forces a type of gameplay that often makes multiplayer boring and repetitive. Star cards are an interesting concept and might have been something good in this mess of a game, unfortunately, the star card system was poorly implemented and is largely centered around small boosts to certain abilities or the replacement of old abilities with new ones. This would have been an excellent idea if the player was not limited to three star cards and ability replacement cards did not count towards this total. In that way, the player would have much more freedom to tailor their experience and play style to their liking which would create new and interesting ways of fighting. Some classes and heroes have appearances which can be unlocked with in game currency earned through leveling up and completing milestones. Through milestones, players can also unlock new weapons for each of the four main classes. These weapons allow for some customization and variation, though not by much seeing as it takes just as long to kill an enemy with a rapid-fire weapon as it does with a triple-burst or single-fire. Sadly, the other two classes have no or very little choices for appearances and no weapon choices. This makes two out of the six classes seem disjointed, not to mention each special class is greatly varied which makes playing different factions a unique experience, but also makes for a sharp learning curve. The Campaign is bare bones and poorly written with predictable stories around every corner and a meaningless narrative that was never actually finished. Overall, this game is fun if you like Star Wars, multiplayer, and maybe a bit of customization, but if you can't overlook its plethora of flaws, you might want to give this one a pass.… Expand

    In saying that I would add at least another 1 point, maybe more, if you are a Star wars fan, given all the weapons and units and uniquely recognisable characters that become available from that particular universe; it is quite impressive to see that amount of stuff on the same battlefield at the same time -and is quite Epic (not always at same time of course - many maps vary). It is also very well polished, as you would expect from an AAA game.

    But without the skins and judging absolutely from merit, it is a decent multiplayer game on a grand scale – because of this scale, it can be hard to see what effect you are having on any particular game – that is my friend and I, felt whilst playing. The focus is on bullet spongey characters, their skills and some how doing enough damage to compete with your team-members to afford to 'buy' a 'force user'(Jedi or Sithlord etc) - although there are plenty of other special units to use, which was good.

    The single player was playable and most certainly gives an idea of what some characters can do if you were to use them in the multiplayer theatre and would probably be very interesting to those who like story or are interested in Star Wars.    … Expand

Multiplayer at times feels unbalanced, then at other times you are doing very well, aside from the guy on the top of the leader board that seems to have a spammy level of kills....All in all I like it, will keep playing and hope more people join online, it isn't a counterstike experience with super fast spawns but it isn't anywhere near Battle Field V, where you die so fast and wait forever only to have to pick who to spawn on each time, or run ALLLLLL the way across the map again for an objective, at least in this game it seems to be 75% faster gameplay overall. To end it, I wish titles like this learned from games like Counter Strike and the success it has, because what people want is not super realism in mechanics and being able to customize all the time, they want environments that are small scale, fast, even if you do have a large map, it should be simple....left and right side of map, try to push one side or the other, or simply team slayer overall, game companies are missing the mark generally by trying to provide what people hate, the same way Halo MCC for PC ruined matchmaking by removing custom server choices, where if you want you can play the same map over and over and over again....that's why on steam their player base is non existent.… Expand

With vehicles as seen on TV, the game does a good job of balancing planes and tanks versus the infantry. There's four unique classes, guns that feel distinct, and many recognizable maps from the Star Wars movies. Despite Battlefront 2’s glaring loot box problem on release, the game rebounded to become one of the best shooters in recent years. Although the singleplayer wasn’t what fans expected or wanted, the multiplayer easily made up for it. Although support has stopped in 2020, the amount of content was more than enough to have fun in Battlefront 2 in 2020. Many of the problems in Battlefront 2015, such as DLC locked behind a paywall, and annoying hero systems were solved in the new Battlefront. Something that was for sure not a problem in Battlefront 2015 was the maps, which continue to be good in Battlefront 2. The maps are all visually stunning, as expected from any EA game. Unlike a lot of EA games however, the content actually lives up to expectations. One of the most important additions to Battlefront 2 was the fact that the developers listened to what the players really wanted, including new blasters when fresh ones hadn’t been added since launch. Even though lightsaber combat feels a bit weird, the points system to unlock vehicles and heroes is much better than the hero token system of the 2015 version. Heroes and vehicles also manage to balance fun for the hero and the infantry they’re facing, and not upsetting either side of the argument.
    The singleplayer, unfortunately, wasn’t what most people wanted. The story starts out with the player playing as an imperial stormtrooper, but quickly goes back to the standard rebel gameplay. A few hero missions are mixed in, but aren’t really that interesting especially the infamous bug-fighting level. Overall, the multiplayer-focused game has a good multiplayer and a disappointing singleplayer, but that’s good enough for most players.    … Expand

    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.
