    Solid game with improvement in most areas compared to the previous title.
    - There are now 4 classes and customizable weapons.
    - More maps and a simpler quickly only matching system. - And of course a decent single player campaign. As for what is about the same as lat time - Smooth responsive action - great sound - guns feel great to shoot - well done maps. - Star Wars, mustn't

    As for what is about the same as lat time
    - Smooth responsive action
    - great sound
    - guns feel great to shoot
    - well done maps.
    - Star Wars, mustn't forget that. Faithful models, troops, guns etc
    - 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the changes they made to Battlefront I and I don't feel it's a "pay-to-win" game, you're not required to pay any additional cent and can still unlock everything.

    Most heroes are unlocked by default and some have to be unlocked for in-game credits you earn by playing multiplayer, arcade or campaign.
    Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker for example can be unlocked for 15.000 credits which is the most expensive price heroes can have, others cost 10.000, like Chewbacca or Emperor Palpatine.
    Roughly after my first 10 matches in multiplayer I would have been able to get Darth Vader for what I earned, yet I did rather purchase Trooper Crates instead since I get to use Troopers all the time.

    You can purchase ingame "crystals" for real money, which in turn can be used to purchase Loot Crates ingame, yet they can be purchased using credits you earn by leveling up your overall rank, completeing milestones(achievments), playing the arcade or playing the story campaign.
    Especially in the beginning you will accumulate big amounts of credits fast for the lower levels are reached faster, the typical milestones (achievments) like "Capture an objective in a multiplayer map." will give you credits as reward as well.

    Other than purchasing crystals, which can be spent on the 3 different types of Loot Crates "Trooper Crates", "Hero Crates" and "Starship Crates" there is nothing else you could possible purchase with real money and these can be earned by playing as well, that's why I don't feel microtransactions make up an important part of the game.

    To move the focus away from flaming about microtransactions here are some details about the actual game:

    There is a short story campaign, which will ultimately leave you behind thinking about what's going to happen next in the upcoming movie in decembre 2017.
    It is a linear story starting during the last of the original trilogy from the '80s - Return of the Jedi - and ending after the most recent one from 2015 - The Force Awakens.

    The actual game, multiplayer, features several different gamemodes, which are:

    Galactic Assault (40 Players): Battle on a series of team-oriented, objective-based maps. Visit iconic locations, pilot favourite vehicles, choose from among four trooper classes, call in special units, and be a hero.
    Starfighter Assault (20 Players): Two teams of pilots take control of fighters, bombers, interceptors and hero ships and engage in multi-stage, objective-based space battles.
    Blast (20 Players): Blast invites players to leap into fast-paced, close-quarters combat.
    Strike (16 Players): Two teams of eight players compete in objective-based scenarios.
    Heroes vs. Villains (8 Players): STAR WARS' greatest characters pitted against each other in a four-on-four team battle.

    There are plenty of new vehicles you didn't see in Battlefront I and even some rideable creatures on some maps, no more pickups spread across the map instead you need to earn battlepoints throughout the match, by killing opponents and playing the objective, which can be used to spawn as a hero, special unit or in a vehicle.
    I felt the heroes are a little less powerful than they used to be in Battlefront I, or harder to play, rather.
    The Separatists and their droid army are now a playable faction including their vehicles.
    The one thing I was missing most of all in Battlefront I is now included: Master Yoda!

    The other playable heroes are:
    Boba Fett
    Bossk
    Chewbacca
    Darth Vader
    Emperor Palpatine
    Han Solo
    Iden Versio
    Kylo Ren
    Lando Calrissian
    Leia Organa
    Luke Skywalker
    Darth Maul
    Rey

    Each of them can be equipped with up to 3 star cards once you unlocked them by opening Loot Crates.

    The 4 basic Trooper Classes are:
    Assault
    Heavy
    Officer
    Specialist These are the playable artillery type vehicles: AT-AT MTT LAAT Gunship U-Wing Gunship These are the playable armoured vehicles: AT-ST AAT AT-RT These are the playable speeders: T-47 Airspeeder LIUV X-34 Landspeeder Speeder Bike Stolen LIUV These are the playable fighter starships: TIE/LN Fighter ARC-170 N-1 Starfighter TIE/FO Fighter Vulture Droid T-65B X-Wing T-70 X-Wing These are the playable interceptor starships: V-Wing RZ-1 A-Wing RZ-2 A-Wing TRI-Fighter TIE/SF Fighter TIE/IN Interceptor These are the playable bomber starships: BTL-A4 Y-Wing BTL-B Y-Wing Hyena-Class Bomber TIE/SA Bomber As with the heroes all of the above mentioned can be equipped with up to 3 star cards. Every Star Card you own has 4 ranks - common, uncommon, rare and epic - which determines how efficient the starcards effect is. You can improve your starcards you the next rank by spending materials you earn similar to credits. Each Trooper Class, Hero, Hero Vehicle and each Vehicle-Class has a star card rank that is equal to the amount of star cards you own for that class plus 1 for each additional rank on your star cards.

    Never buy this game. It is horrible they took off micro transactions so you would buy the game, and then they are going to bring them back. Have fun buying a Free to Play $100 game.

    Electronic Arts is the worst company ever. Don't buy their games !!

Now that the P2W system is gone for sometime, The game has opened up many opportunities. However, I had to give the honest 9/10 rating, because EA is still a horrible company that ruins great games. They ruined this Battlefront 2 beyond repair, because they thought that massive paywalls and micro transactions would be accepted by the community like the dumb people they are. However, grinding has been proved to be much easier, as unlike the original 40 hours, it now only takes 4 hours to unlock Vader and Luke, and less for the others, and grinding is no longer as hard. However, the prices of the loot boxes, the amount of credits gifted by matches still need to increase, for people should not need to spend any more than 2 hours unlocking their favorite heroes. Shooter experience needs to be revamped to match that of iconic shooters such as CoD and Battlefield. But of course. EA will never listen to us. They will continue to release more good games like this then completely screw them up with stuff like micro transactions. This game had potential to outdo all the previous battlefronts. EA had that chance, and screwed it up. Still buy the game, as most of the negative ratings are still based off of the micro transactions and paywalls, which have been removed, and since unlocking heroes takes only 4 hours instead of 40, this game has become much more bearable for me.

    The graphics are lovely. Multiplayer gameplay however is not fun at the start as a n00b. Repeatedly the games were won by a small army of Darth Mauls and Kylo Rens. This is not fun. I did not cancel me pre-order, but I do take great exception to paying full price for a game which then expected us to make substantial purchases in game to get better characters etc.,

    When I pay full price I expect to get full content. If you want to make player's pay for crates then give the game away for free like Blizzard and run your economy on content. Also, pay for win content is retarded, you ostracise new players as rich players just over run them with their army of over powerful characters. The crates should be cosmetic items only.

    Update: Just finished the single player campaign, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Captures the Star Wars feel for me! Loved it! Increased review score from 5 to 8. Am also having fun in multiplayer avoiding the hero mode game and playing 8 v 8 team games! Despite the crate disaster, the game is fun and well made.

    There is plenty good shooters like squad etc where u can join the action without grind.

The campaign, although short and a bit of a let down from the story-telling aspect, is still a lot of fun. The internet Gaming Community armed with their keyboards went to battle with EA over the loot boxes, claiming unfair advantages to those that would shell out actual money to buy star cards. Now that the easy route to acquire cards has been removed... these same gamers are complaining that it takes "too long" despite everyone now on the same playing field. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Upon last inspection, the loot boxes don't include skill or gaming instinct.

    This doesn't lay at EA's feet alone. DICE needs to shoulder some of this as well. EA says: "Have MTX so that your game has some long term revenue sources." DICE is who designs the system.
    EA doesn't have anything to do with that other than saying "It should have MTX." There's a significant amount of engineering and design behind the star card system, it's not like EA can just shove it in there. It's unfortunate that those who don't actually know what it takes to fund, make, and sustain these games we all love so much had to go and tarnish the great reception that awaited this game. Rather than outright boycott MTX because it exists, provide feedback on what you'd like to see in the MTX instead. The free DLC and lack of a season pass far outweigh the cost of players buying loot boxes. Like it or not, MTX is necessary for a healthy and thriving games industry to keep producing the hits that you crave. (cosmetic or otherwise.)

    World of Tanks, Football, Hockey, and Soccer Ultimate Teams, Battlefield 4+... where was the outrage then?! Just because it's a beloved franchise like Star Wars? You all think it's YOURS, and you OWN it? Please stop parroting what you're hearing about gambling, unlock times, the death of the industry and all the noise out there. Sit down, strap in and enjoy the ride

    ...and May the Force be with You.

    Beautiful Star Wars game. Much better than Battlefront I (2015). Hate on SWBF II is only because of microtransactions (which EA is working on). But I measure only gameplay, graphics etc.-things which were made by DICE, Motive, Criterion & Lucasfilm not by EA.

    This game is great. All you haters need to investigate the cost of developing AAA-games these days and understand how the industry need to look into ways of financing the level you expect. MTX might not be the way, but it¨s better than many other models.

    Sadly even after two years this game is not good enough the story is boring the gameplay becomes stale after one or two hours and the multilayer still needs a lot of improvements.

    Один минус всеже есть,это система поиска сетевых игр,очень жалко что нельзя выбрать на какой карте сыграть,я надеюсь что EA добавит настройки выбора карты).По поводу баланса не могу ничего сказать,но если в 2015 заработать адекватный k/d было очень тяжело праворукие или просто хорошо устроившиеся игроки выносили в лет и потом снова через полкарты беги,здесь k/d куда выше и заработать его проще,хотя конечно снайперы достают и здесь.Я только начал изучать эту прекрасную игру,но меня в ней гораздо большее радует,чем в предыдущей,хотя и в предыдущую я наиграл немало.

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!

    Probably getting lot of angry people on me, but hey that's the web :-)

    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]
