    I first picked up BF2 from Origin at about mid 2018.
    By this time, the loot box controversy was addressed and all of the P2W elements were replaced by a new progression system.

    By this time, the loot box controversy was addressed and all of the P2W elements were replaced by a new progression system.
    Now, i have picked the game for about 25$, because i kinda liked the previous title, and mainly ignored the 1.1 user review score that was given here.

    Now, more than 200 hours into the game, i guarantee you that this game doesn’t deserve the huge backlash it received, for a number of reasons.
    First of all, this is not the first nor the last game to use micro transactions. In fact, after the new progression system patch, the game has become the only game i know that you can access fully without having to pay a dime. (Free DLC - where can you find that?)

    So with that said, ill explain what are the pros and cons from the perspective of a CASUAL gamer, cause if you are a competitive type of feller, i am afraid that you will be better avoiding the game, or trying to understand that it isn’t meant to be a competitive shooter of some sort.

    First of all, the multiplayer.
    There are plenty of modes, that some of them may appeal to you and some may not at all.
    For example, i never play the Starfighter mode, simply because i dont like it, not because its bad or anything.
    There are other modes, bigger and smaller, such as Blast which is basically team death match, Galactic Assault which is biggest one, and simulates a battle between two enemy factions based on different objectives for each map. Its a very dynamic mode.
    Another new big mode which is my favorite, is Capital Supremacy, which i will not get into details of, but check it out cause its cool.

    Also a favorite of mine, are the Hero Showdown (which is great if you have a friend willing to coordinate attacks with you) and the Heros VS Villians modes, which are very casual fun modes (pretty unbalanced, however) that shine because of their accuracy to the SW movies and are very appealing to people who like the SW universe of characters, and lets you play as iconic ones such as Obi Wan, Vader, Palpatine and etc. in a sort of power fantasy manner.

    Overall the multiplayer modes are very nice, fun, lore accurate and chaotic while calculated, even if somewhat unbalanced and a bit buggy, which makes the game not very appealing to hardcore gamers,

    The gameplay has improved drastically over the last title, and is appropriate for a triple A shooter however it may take some getting used to.

    There is also a campaign mode, that i would look at as a nice bonus for the true Star Wars fans who will appreciate a nice cameo of an iconic character here and there. The story won’t win any awards, but is nice to have,

    A huge pro that this game has is its visual aspect.
    Now, say what you will about EA, but they sure do know how to make their games look fantastic.
    Search for photos and you will understand what i am talking about; all the models and assets are near 100% accurate to the movies and look even better than the CGI from Episode 1 , for instance.
    All of this while performance is great, i have a graphics card from 2012 which runs the game on almost max settings and a stable 60 fps, and loading screens have been improved and are now very short if you have a decent CPU and an ok hard drive.

    I think that by this point the game has a lot of content, with a lot of maps, heros, and modes, and the game’s biggest con is the poor balancing in some of the modes. Also, despite the fact that the game received overall decent support since it’s launch, there are some things that could make the game a far more appealing experience, such as private matches, that are being asked for a long time and yet to be added. That is why i am conflicting with myself how i would rate this game, because on the one hand, it’s a really impressive and most of all fun game, but on the other it lacks some things that could make it a lot better.

    It is worth saying that as far as community goes this game has a relatively large and nice community and 2 great community managers that do everything they can to bridge between the dev team to the players, which is worth pointing out.

    The game costs currently around 7 USD, and for me it was worth my 25$, so watch some gameplay and do what you will.    … Expand

I have already put over 24 hours in and I am having a lot of fun. The game play is really good and the graphics are really high quality. The story line is a lot of fun and is a great addition to the Star Wars cannon. There is also already a lot more content then there was in the first battlefront and the DLC is free. If you are a Star Wars fan there is a high chance you will enjoy this title. i just wanted to give an honest review before all the review bomb 0's start popping up. I get that micro-transactions are a bad practice and shouldn't be in video games, but to review bomb because of it isn't a good practice either. All it's going to do is make people not be able to trust reviews. There are better ways to show EA that the loot box system needs to be removed from games. Remember most games that have loot boxes for sale are still charging for DLC. This game is at least giving all the DLC for free. Almost all of the stuff you get from loot boxes is also locked behind progression, even star card levels are directly tied to in game progression. You can't spend money to max out your character. Also as of now they completely removed the micro-transactions. I also don't understand why people are saying its gonna take forever to get all the characters, i have them all and i got them in less than 10 hours, and no i didn't buy any loot boxes. It's like these people are basing their reviews off the beta. The game has changed so much sense then.… Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront 2.

    Currently the most controversial game that exists. Consider this - yes, there is a lot of discussion about microtransactions going on, and EA's practices are almost criminal and to be despised on every level.

    One thing is a fact though. If you ignore the issue for a second that this game has a pay2win system and just try to see the game itself, it's graphics, atmosphere, sound design, gameplay, level design, singleplayer campaign - It is a really, really great game.

    Problem right now is not only EA's trustworthiness and the possibility that they actually won't change anything despite claiming they will but also that a huge amount of people are thinking they're doing the right thing when they're spreading false information or are blowing things way out of proportion which has happened and even lead to a lot of media misrepresentation. (Death threats, refund button)

    EA could literally remove the whole system and make the game be totally fine, and you would still see posts claiming that it'S fake and EA is trying to trick you.

    If you're looking at reviews for this game to decide if you should take the chance and buy it, you won't find anything useful.

    90% of reviews here on metacritic are either hatetrain **** or from people who have not even played the game at all and are just trying to keep the fire going. Because in the end, the game itself is great - But nobody cares about this.

    No, i am not working at or for EA, i am just a gamer that despises when communities outrage about disgusting developer behavior while using the same tactics to stir the fire.    … Expand

If you give a game 0.0 (not 6.0, not even 5.0, but ZERO, just think about it) only because you hate loot boxes, and you didn’t even bother to pay attention to great graphics and optimization, captivating gameplay, diverse maps and great sound effects - at the very least you’re not being honest.

    This showcase of hatred and stupidity that I’ve found in users’ reviews is really embarassing. I do hope that the average score of this title will rise - or else Battlefront II would become the most underrated game I’ve ever known.    … Expand

    Very fun game. Do not listen to the haters going insane over the microtransactions. It is still possible to play the game and have fun even without higher tier cards, for now. Over time, if the game fills up with players who are all rocking maxed out heroes and troopers then, yes, you will have to start forking over some cash to keep up.

Over time, if the game fills up with players who are all rocking maxed out heroes and troopers then, yes, you will have to start forking over some cash to keep up.

    I actually think the weapons - which you don't need the crates for - are more important than the star cards, and the weapon grinds are particularly brutal. That's one area where EA could have clearly made the game "pay to win" (by allowing you to buy the guns) but they didn't. Everyone really needs to calm down about the transactions. I doubt any of these complainers have actually played the game. If they decided to try it before bashing it they'd probably discover that it's actually pretty fun.

    It's clear that if you want to get the most out of your experience you'll have to spend a good 100-200 hours with this game, and that's even if you also chose to spend the equivalent of a season pass or two on the crates. Big whoop. If you're having fun who cares?

    It's a shame to see such an over-the-top, immature, and frankly, a borderline libelous reaction from these reddit nerds. These are the kind of people that hate fun of any kind and log on to reddit to gripe about EVERYTHING. Pathetic.

    It's an arcade shooter, not a large, conquest based FPS like Battlefield. Appreciate it for what it is: a sometimes mindless but ultimately enjoyable online multiplayer action game.

    Actually I don't care so much with the pay2win aspect, because you can get all the items without paying aswell. It can take some time, but to me personally thats feels like a nice progression.

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!

    - Still a twitch shooter so you will die a lot

    On the negative
    - Graphics look about the same (which means they look great) yet seem to require better hardware (so maybe this is a negative). Prior to upgrading my video card SWBF2 did not perform as well and SWBF yet when i upgraded my video card and play at max setting I can not see the difference in improvement.

    - Seem to be less ambitious with the various multiplayer modes. Gone are the blended modes that mixed space flight with ground action.

    - The drama from the gaming community is worse than the thing they are complaining about.

    EA and Star Wars is just a hot button topic for the gaming community. But this mob mentality and complaining about greed and "evil" publishers has simply gone too far. You can simply ignore the microtransactions and eventually everyone will have unlocked the most impactful upgrades so its sort of a moot point.    … Expand

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

    POSITIVES: Battlefront II beinhaltet viele Dinge, die mir sehr gut gefallen. Als erstes wäre hier die Grafik. Diese ist zwar nicht die beste, aber dafür solide und passend. Etwas anderes das ich grossartig finde, wären die Unterschiedlichen Spielmodi, die es gibt. Meine drei Favoriten wären hier Helden VS Schurken, Totale Vorherrschaft und der Koop Modus. Es gibt aber auch einen Spielmodi, bei dem es möglich ist mit unterschiedlichen Raumfahrzeugen im Weltall zu fliegen. Die Steuerung des Spieles auf dem PC ist auch super und anpassbar. Die Figuren wirken real und es fühlt sich an, als würde man selbst in der Welt anwesend sein. So lässt sich Darth Maul oder Count Dooku genauso spielen, wie wir sie aus den Filmen kennen. Die einen Charaktere sind dabei eher agil, andere wiederum eher Tanks. Aber das Beste an dem Spiel finde ich, dass es sich so real anfühlt. Man lässt seine Umgebung komplett ausser Acht und taucht dabei in die Welt von Star Wars ein. Das ist EA tatsächlich gut gelungen.

    NEGATIVES: Leider fühlte sich Battlefront II zu Beginn überhaupt nicht so an. So war die Grafik 3x so schlecht, wie jetzt und die Menüs mit den Charakteren sahen auch komplett anders aus. EA machte auch den wohl dümmsten Fehler aller Zeiten. So war das Spiel zu Beginn nur Pay to Win. Die Karten konnten nur mühselig freigeschaltet werden (daher auch die schlechte User Bewertung). Dies ist aber Vergangenheit und mittlerweile glänzt das Spiel auch so gut, wie nie zuvor. Dennoch gibt es auch heute noch Dinge, die mir nicht passen wollen. So finde ich es komisch, dass Charaktere, die kauern so schnell laufen können, wie kleine Spinnen. Schade finde ich auch, dass es keine privaten Lobbys gibt. Ich würde gerne Mal ein VS mit meinen Freunden zocken.

    FAZIT: Battlefront II ist ein grossartiges Spiel. Jeden Monat kommen neue Inhalte ins Spiel. Das sind nicht zu viele Updates, aber auch nicht zu wenige (siehe Fortnite). Ich würde das Spiel jedem empfehlen, der gerne Shooter Spiele spielt oder ein tolles Star Wars Feeling erleben möchte. Ich weiss nicht, wie die Zukunft des Spiels aussehen wird, aber ich denke das dauert noch eine Weile, bis das Spiel eingestellt wird (Meine Spielstunden betragen 430h). Der Kostenpunkt liegt bei 30€, meistens gibt es aber auf MMOGA Preisreduktionen. Für ein volles Battlefront II Review --> siehe mein Battlefront II Review auf YouTube an.    … Expand

    The game has grown since its initial launch back in November 2017. Battlefront 2 has gotten much content that has helped the game grow.
    It has become an enjoyable multiplayer game for star wars fans like my self. Its also gotten cheap and is often on sale.

    P.S Don't bother with the campaign its trash

    I bought this game 1 year after release and I think this was the best time to play. No microtransactions, many additional stuff (maps/characters) - even without buying a DLC - and full servers.
    One Problem is the hardcore grind to get more powerfull.

    This game has massively changed since it's controversial launch. Microtransactions have pulled a Houdini and dissapeared completely, leaving a very fun multiplayer shooter, that anyone can enjoy without popping open a wallet.

    Battlefront 2 is a game driven by the Star Wars franchise and Star Wars fans. With Battlefield-like gameplay, you can run into battle as a clone, battle droid, rebel, or stormtrooper. 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

    This game is honestly good now. The single-player is not worth your time but the multiplayer is pretty damn fun. Other than certain sides having clear advantages in some maps this game is still good.

    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]
