    Now the important topic here is a continuation of my Battlefront 2015 review. The beta cuck SJW retard snowflake I was talking about said that the so called "seam bursting cliches" even though it's a fact that the hypocritical retard is a cliche SJW himself and it's a fact as well that "seam bursting cliches" don't exist and it's just woketarded SJW snowflake propaganda, says that they "call to mind the bodacious sex-dolls of Dead or Alive Volleyball" even though they aren't "sex-dolls" and that's fact, it's not actually similar to any of Bowsette's porn at all and that's fact and they don't call to mind Dead or Alive Volleyball and that's fact, can the retarded cucks on the far left like the retarded website like Esquire that has retarded "journalists" who don't know piss about video games piss off about things they fail miserably to actually be knowledgeable on? That would be nice and not embarrassing, thank you. Another SJW retard, this time from Ars Technica, another retarded hack fraud website where the retarded "journalist" named Sam Machkovech "attributed"(more like falsely claimed) some of Bowsette's popularity to how it contrasted against Peach, stating(falsely claiming) the fan art's focus on a "more muscular, less svelte figure lets Peach look a little less Barbie proportioned". Peach isn't "Barbie proportioned" and she wasn't ever "Barbie proportioned" and it lets her be a little less nothing since it does nothing and all of that is fact. Lastly, some cancerous tranny of The Daily Dot named Ana Valens noted the character's broad appeal,(more like barely acknowledged to be honest) but also as a "relatable" figure for trans women. CANCEEEER. Bowsette's not genuinely "relatable" for trans women and that's fact you retard, but keep lying to yourself, you won't ever actually biologically be women and that's fact. And you noted jack piss, she's not relatable for trans women, fact, it had the retard stating(falsely claiming) "Bowsette is exactly how we see ourselves: We went from self hating, gender dysphoric creatures and turned into happy confident women." Ugh, traps. Enjoy your false happiness, you're in torment even now. And Bowsette is not exactly how "we"(trannies) see yourselves: and that's fact. Bowsette is a fusion of peach therefore not actually trans but hermaphrodite if anything and Bowser is FACTUALLY not "gender dysphoric" and that's why he kidnaps Peach and is male, he's not actually a trap like you queers. And Bowser hadn't turned into any "happy confident women" you cancertard and that's fact.

    Everything I have said here is fact, don't like it then you are retarded. I don't personally have anything against gays or transgender people of course, but SJW cancer like this is unbelievably horrid. It's like you have to be vitriolic in order to combat it, not "transphobic" or anything but projection is retarded and that's fact. Don't project and it might not be retarded. Bowser and Peach are great and iconic characters and companies like Nintendo and Square Enix are good companies that that have all their employees be talented and that's fact as well, for example Dragon Quest 11 or xi isn't "overly traditional" and that's fact, it is a masterpiece of a game and those complaining about what the game is like are factually retarded, closed minded "critics" and that's fact. Not many others complained about the game though, actually not many at all complained or criticized Dragon Quest 11 or xi and that's fact. Everything I have said as a response to something in this review is a fact.    … Expand

    Bought this game on Sale, The Single Player Gameplay on this sequel compared to its predecessor Star Wars: Battlefront by EA is terrible.

It takes me back to the 80's. If EA has made this game a Starship battle game alone i would have been happy.. Instead you have these annoying missions in the middle that cant decide what type of game they want to be. I still play Battlefield 4, such an amazing game, then EA take that engine and turn it into a Star Wars game, and a bad one at that. The multiplayer is terrible also, so im not bothered about the microtransactions as will never play it. Would grab it on sale on Origin, but never buy it fill price as the only decent thing about it is the Starship battles and the rest is just Meh!… Expand

    Pay2win or micro transactions are really not a problem for this game. SWBF II has curses much worse than this. Would you like to buy a car which don't move? This online game has got awful network code and developers who are unable to fix it. The lag and rubberbanding would be your best friends if you buy this piece of DICE's worthless stuff.

    This game is the worst shooter of all time. You don't have to bring up micro transaction to say this and back it up. You can stand inside your teammates body with no problem, models and environment items are disappearing and appearing again from nowhere.

There is nobody trying to speak to their teammates, headless rushing all over the map. You get points for dieing, you can't check K/D. This is a SJW game where you can feel safe and be as bad and useless as you want and you won't be punished but rewarded for it. The droid models and the human models share the same broken animations. The art style is horrible, everything looks like a hologram which will fade away in a second. Your eyes will get worse after every 2 minutes You spend in menu because of the lack of contrast and moving font edges. The collection can't remember which item you have checked out already. The devs didn't even care about balance issues because there are gamebreaking bugs all over the game in mp and sp too. Singleplayer is a joke, on the first map there are like 4-5 situation where enemies are rolling though walls and then walking back like it's no biggie. This game is insanely broken including all the possible bad decisions ever made in a shooter and all bad choices made in term of art style and game design. This game can not be rated fairly because it will ruin not just your image of EA and DICE but it will damage your overall love for STAR WARS games and movies. Besides these the hero characters looks like they are on drugs, some of the voice actors are horrible too. And on the top of it they want REAL MONEY FOR THIS GARBAGE!!! Beware this game is already dead, there are hours in a day when You won't find 40ppl matches. And the actual content in the game is like half of the previous one which is also a dead and mediocre game in general. If it wasn't a licensed star wars game even the fake press would not care about it but they are paid heavily so they gave ACTUALLY GOOD REVIEWS OF THIS WORTHLESS mess of redundant code pile. This was my worst decision ever to buy this game even on half the retail price and I did some messed up stuff, believe me.… Expand

To be able to achieve weapon and class milestones to progress an to be reward with in game money so you can buy class and hero crates . Of course the reason for this is that the game was designed from the ground up with MTX in mind to entice people to spend money for in game currency so they can apply it to their character builds.Also matches are starting without filling both teams to 20 players each. And playing 17v10 for a couple of mins is not fun. And for a game that focuses on the multiplayer aspect more so that story telling rpg side it really isn't worth it because of those glaring faults. The game could be really enjoyable to where you could play endless hours, but there are to many balance type issues.

    I picked this game up on a publisher sale on Origin for $20. I played through the campaign and that was fantastic! I loved every minute of it and am so glad they put that in there.

The arcade modes are pretty fun too, although I do miss the instant action and galactic conquest that the original BF2 had.

    I don't care about MP so I get nothing out of that. It's all about SP campaigns for me. Ideally, with an online co-op option (i.e. Dying Light, Soulsborne, etc.).

    As for optimization, there were quite a few bugs to iron out on the Origin copy (thankfully, a few google searches fixed all issues). I was also surprised to see the length of the loading times take so long. If the Witcher 3 can load faster on my PC (i7, GTX1080, 16GB RAM), that's probably a red flag to the developer. I can only imagine what they're like on console.

    Either way, if you're looking for a fun Star Wars game to play, pick this one up. I don't feel any post-purchase regret buying this at $20 because I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign ( i also listened to the Inferno Squad audiobook beforehand so that gave some decent context to the characters).

    All that said, I LOATHED the first Battlefront game. It was pretty but boring.

    Battlefront 2 took two steps forward, one step back. You could tell that the EA execs simply couldn't resist. Which is a shame because this was a pretty fun game, single-player-wise.    … Expand

Absolutely bass ackwards at best. Great fix EA. Don't get me wrong... the actual content in the game is stunningly gorgeous, hands down the best of any Star Wars anything. It has plenty of great moments and very nostalgic, IF you can get a good match. Currently the game still doesn't even have lobby rotations of any kind.. all the good players end up on one team in a server and that's that. You usually NEVER get on a decent team because all the openings are on the **** teams where people have already rage quit and you take their place on the shyte team. So much fun... When you finally get on a good team and are able to get some points, after about 3 rounds it becomes stupid boring and you can literally just sit around and goof off.. which is fun sometimes I won't lie. Essentially either I find myself rage quitting from impossible situations or bored out of my mind due to other team being full of completely terrible players. WTF DICE.. this is Dice' fault, they are notorious for this and completely inept at figuring out a solution for 0% balancing. I'm giving this game a 6/10 from the aspect of a good player able to at least potentially overcome **** situations and have a bit of fun... and I'm giving the game 0/10 for casual players who want to just have a good experience from the perspective of a trooper.. you better off watching the movies and won't hate yourself as much.… Expand

    MP: Poor map design which results in meat grinder situations where 40 players fight for a small portion of land. Playing the objective is not incentivised enough resulting in no one playing the objective. Heroes broken/unbalanced for months after release. Heroes are awarded to good players resulting in even more unbalanced matches, so games are usually face rolls. Also something is wrong with servers and matchmaking. I played on some maps constantly, barely on some and NEVER on one or two maps, and I played for around 25h!

    Its still quite broken and unbalanced with the developer playing Bungie role keeping everything to themselves instead of having an open conversation with fans. To sum up I bought the game after 2 months of release. Payed around 2/3 of the original price, but still am quite disappointed.    … Expand

    (SPOLERS)

    CONS
    -Heroes are weak,and im ok whit that.But its the fact how stupidly you die whit them.
    Either it is a suicidical strafe runner from sky,at st killing you in 5 seconds,vanguard or sentry.

    -singleplayer sucks
    -Singleplayer is boring and Iden switches sides,its also too short
    -lootcrates
    -cards
    -Some maps are bad,some are to short, and some phases of the map suck(not to say its foll all maps_
    -6 modes which only 1 or 2 of them are good
    -Expensive as ****
    -Progression sistem sucks
    -No bots on the ground
    -Teams dont get scrambled at the and of the match so if one team loses it will lose and lose again
    -Bombers dont actually bomb,just shoot misles
    -AT-RT s dont actually jump even know they do in star wars universe.also in bf2 they are slow clumzy(like jar jar)
    -After you play a game you dont feel you are improving.
    -After playing most of the time there is nothing that you sit down and think about,there is no funny epic moments,memorable expiriences after yoou stop playing it
    -Game is unbalanced
    -Not that much content
    -Not much big updates
    -MADE BY EA

    PROS:
    Flying and starfighter assault is only fun modes
    -Can be fun at the times
    -Heores feel fun
    -There are a lot of good maps
    -Gunplay feels good
    -Every gun is unique and you can allways find a gun and a class that is best for you.

    Also for those who say this game is p2w,its not really.A guy spent 100 dollars for the game and all he did is maxed few cards for vaders,so if its p2w you really have to spent thousands of dollars in it

    The completely game breaking star card system ruins apotentially good game and hides game progression behind a RNG. The MP progression is blatantly engineered to create frustration and funnel players to pay for loot boxes with real money, essentially turning the game into a pay to win game.

    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.
