    Bought this game so i could feel accomplished and proud but some guy bought all the pride for 2100$ and force choked me and everyone on the server as soon as I logged on. This game is completely unbalanced. Don't buy it.

    No normal story of the company! And in multiplayer, the system works P2V system. Pay 60$, which would then have to pay 120.
    Moreover, EA said that only temporarily disables lootbox, and after the adjustments will turn it back on. Do not buy Battelfront 2! If we lose now in the near future the game will be overrun lootbox!

    Tried the beta weeks ago and this game looked like a giant cash machine for EA
    Have heard about the microtransaction in SWBF2, WTF EA?????
    EA raped me long and hard with the SWBF DLC one year ago (no content, **** maps etc...)
    EA Can go F*** itself, I will never buy a game from them again...

    I WILL NEVER BUY A GAME FROM THEM...PERIOD.

    Gameplay = Great, Graphics = Great, Audio = Great.
    EA trying to suck us dry and bring freemium tactics into our AAA games. Ridiculous.

    Keep your Freemium mobile game loot crate models where they belong. On my cell phone.
    Loot crates that are anything BUT strictly cosmetic have no place in games we are paying top dollar for already. Thanks for playing EA.

    Terrible progression system, played 10h on Early Access and my main class remained lvl 3, while my officer, which I NEVER played with, were lvl 14. Heroes are paid, slow progression and terrible star cards.

    Play as the role as Loot Skywalker in Credit Card Wars : Gamble Front 2. The only thing that works properly in this game is the mini game where you insert your credit card details. The Android and Apple store would be proud of your achievements.

    Slimy, greedy tactics. I've already paid for a AAA title, I expect the whole game. You'll get no more business from me EA.

    Indie publishers like Klei and Concerned Ape will be rewarded with my cash for making good games that don't push micro transactions.

    Exploitative loot bot mechanics done the worst way.
    Even cosmetic loot boxes are somewhat meh, but this takes the cake.
    If you buy this game, you support the death of video games.

    We're hitting greed levels that shouldn't even be possible.

    This game forced me to put EA and DICE in my Book of Grudges.
    This is sad but in the future I'll have to pass on any game that will have EA logo on it.

    If you are at all a fan of Star Wars you will not buy this game. Mediocre story, and terrible progression in the multiplayer system. If i put hours into a specific class I want unlocks for that specific class not a box that randomly generates a reward for me. Yay an emote for a class I don't use at all. No way that EA did this on purpose to drive the sale of more lootboxes(Sarcasm). Utter trash.

    Screw your pay to win model and screw your microtransactions. Suck it EA, hope you will learn your lesson and stop milking your customers. Either make the game f2p, pay to win, or pay to play and NOT p2w. Suck it, for real.

    The game is the embodiment of greed. It's a money grab at a popular movie and series of games that turned out to be a subpar modern shooter filled with microtransactions for a full price triple-A game. Very disappointing

    I knew from the beta that it would not be good. Seeing the kill cam with those "Star Cards" under who killed me and finding the lootboxes (gambling crates), told me all I needed to know.

I don't see a cap in how much money you can spend to get *immediately* affecting boosts. Funny isn't it? Don't buy, don't support this, and don't trust them. Until they take all of this out completely and it is gone for good, don't get this gambling game.… Expand

    There are way too many micro transactions in this game. Ea is ruining this franchise by adding in loot boxes and making the characters take hundreds of hours to unlock.

The developer's response has been equally insulting and overall Battlefront II comes across as a "Slap in the face" to it's loyal fan base. In all I give Star Wars Battlefront II a "0 out of 10" for manipulating it's users and tarnishing the once legendary "Star Wars" brand owned by Disney.… Expand

    The brief of the game is this. Buy it to be able to spend around 200$ to be able to have the chance to have some fun. maybe. It is a 0/10 from me as it is literally unplayable without a rich daddy giving you an allowance of over 2,4K in allowance... (the cost to buy enough loot boxes to maybe be able to get access for what you originally paid the 60$ for)

    EA tied to shove pay 2 win loot boxes down our throats. They tried to make us have to spend 40 hours to unlock 1 hero character. The "progression system" is still a complete joke. The only reason I'm giving this game a zero is that I can't give a negative rating.

    Really don't care for the way EA did the pay to win mechanics and push for people to buy loot boxes. Yes, they temporary suspended the ability to buy them with real money for now, but according to all of the announcements EA made, they will be back after being "tweaked".

    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.
