    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.

    I wanted a game and I got different modes stitched together and inconsistent first and third person views, it feels thrown together and has no core, do not waste your money. Sad to see a great brand squeezing the life out of it's loyal customers with all its evil force. Shame on you EA & Dice, you blew it.

    whats the backbones of game. ground combat have great maps like hoth or kashyk but if you compare the battlefront 2015 maps like jakku so close counter focused and boring mostly. clone wars have difffrent mods which close to battlefield and old battlefronts but the fail to deliver air vehicles and hangar take off which in the game if you look single player.
    story as all dice games its not the best but also not bad like people said its not jedi story more like trooper drama which uses good on vehicles too. there is jedi mission which is good but too bad game not use any sith or classic movie duel storyies. in all com dice games story below the battlefield 3 single but def above the battlefield 4 and battlefront 2015 was not have single.
    arcade in this game amainz es with mods. there is ton of mods like skyrim chaning game many diffrent ways battle of endor to comic book star wars or even have split screen support. offline section suported in new patch greatly to like instan action mode.
    ABOUT LOOTBOX. funny thing is loot or box whatever in this game never be issue bcouse there was like almost same as battlefield 1 or old battlefield upgrade packs the thing was progression was bugged and if you dont get good on game make you punish kinda bcouse heros like vader cost goodamount of progress or in gamecredit. in all the story everyknow know not have any loot but is this things change no. vader unllocked freely or reduced heros ans skins count but in all in battleffont 2 if you finsih the game with 1 or 2 kills or no objective play you still need good amount of time to unlock things es cars which everybody using epic cards you become lesser. but in all if you was batllefied player or old battlefront player and make your kills like 4 or 6 and playing objective even in start you exprience not make you think oh **** the game. it was overrated by media and fans. for ex unlucing vader was took 10 matches maybe if you are medium player which vader is hero not the actual battle thig area. like in battlefield the solders here in the key. there was more bigger issues like heacy class bomber like abilty wipe everyone ass when firing like death star. but as youu see non player or media not know that bcouse ı guess they dont play like 5 hours something as you expecting. overal better than battlefront 2015 but some of things from bf 2015 still stay decent textures or weaponry map like sulust or jakku . bf 2015 sadly dlcs have sparate servers make harder to find onine. the same media gives bf2015 no loot game 6 its no expecting they give bf2 more than 7 which for 7 battlefront dam low score if you think game touch all star wars.    … Expand

    This game HAD so much potential. I refuse to play it anymore after 10 hrs due to loot boxes and the coming micro transactions. Having paid $60, I believe I paid for the game already and $60 is a lot of money! Enough is enough. Not the way to make a game!! EA is evil. They are NOT gamers!

    Imagine EA doing something creative with the Star Wars IP.
    But no another mediocre shooter with a messed up progression system.

    Good :

    - graphics
    - Star wars universe
    - action

    Bad :

    - too little liberty with the frustrating message : "go back to the gaming area"
    - the spaceship driving with a keyboard is a nightmare
    - too repetitive

    This is not a game.
    It's a glorified pachinko application.
    The story is shallow, and the game is purely pay to win.
    This game had so much potential, but like everything EA touches, ruined it.
    The online play is atrocious, with lag, rubber banding, and the pay to win progression totally ruining the game and rendering it unplayable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like SWBFII, but I just don't. Despite the microtransactions, this game is a generally terrible game.

    CAMPAIGN:
    I was very excited for the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront II, getting to play as someone from the Empire's side to see their point of view looked very interesting. However, the campaign was anything but interesting. The campaign felt like pointless shooting and running around. And not to mention, the main protagonist turned to the Rebels about 5 missions in, going against the whole point of seeing something from the Empire's point of view. Overall, a disappointing and bad campaign.

    MULTIPLAYER:
    I have always liked Star Wars Battlefront multiplayer, big 20 v 20 battles with heaps of vehicles, heroes and action. However, Star Wars Battlefront II's multiplayer isn't that.

    The Battlepoints system is trash, the reason being that you will have sweaty kids running around at the start of the game trying so hard to get their Battlepoints so they can unlock their heroes. So then about 5 little sweats unlock their heroes and play as them for the rest of the game. This completely ruins it for the newer, less skilled or casual players who want to experience Battlefront II. Every time I would save enough Battlepoints to unlock a hero, it would go to the spawn screen and have the message pop up saying "Max number in play", what a disappointment. And I will never get to play as a hero that game either, since the sweats that unlock the heroes at the start, stay as heroes the whole game since now heroes have health regen. That's why I liked the original random drop system in Battlefront (2015), this would give the opportunity for any lucky player to stumble upon a hero pickup and get to play as their favourite character. Yes, there would be people who'd learn the spots and simply sit there and wait, but that could've easily been fixed by generating them randomly at random positions. Not to mention how very little heroes there are in the game.

    Battlefront II's servers are absolute trash. I play with 22ms ping to the Australian server and still manage to rubberband, get shot behind corners and aim directly at someone yet have no shots hit. I don't know why this is happening, but it is. So many other players complain about this in the game chat so I know it is not a problem specific to me (I have cable internet with 11ms, 115mbps down & 2mbps up) according to speedtest.net, so I know my internet is not the problem.

    The matchmaking and team balance in Battlefront II is a mess. Every game I play is one-sided. Either we are getting smashed or smashing the other team. This ties in with the hero and Battlepoints problem I stated earlier, there are always those 3 or 4 people who stay in heroes the whole game and never seem to die, making them smash everyone else and making the game not fun.

    The vehicle balancing in SWBFII is absolutely horrible. Especially when I play on any map with AT ST's. There will always be those two players spending the whole game in their AT-ST while everyone on the Rebel side gets basically nothing. There needs to be a specific class made for blowing sh*t up, which would make vehicles so much more manageable.

    Overall, Star Wars Battlefront II is a generally terrible game and I have had very little fun playing it. I 100% regret buying this and since I bought a physical copy with a code inside, I have no way of refunding it. DICE need to make major changes to this game to persuade me to come back. For the meantime, I'll be sticking with Titanfall 2.    … 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

    Thank 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.

    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.
