    Too much money to spend on 1 game. Also, loot boxes are tied to progression. Spend a couple loot boxes to get 15% recoil reduction or different muzzle breaks, sights. This is all a bunch of BS EA.

    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.

    This can not be described by the game ... just pay 2 wines, some boxes and micropayments ...

    Instead of creating a fun game, the game was designed to be a platform for selling microtransactions. When facing community backlash, the developers feign ignorance and promise "reworks" but keep doing the same thing anyway. As long as the money is flowing in, they really don't care about the product or the players.

    A lot of bugs (I fell like I play a console port game) + AIM hackers every match + stupid character develop system (carts!)
    Thank you DICE, that is how multiplayer shooter should look like in 2017, good job!

    Whoever upvoted is paid by EA. Trash game pay to play, 40 houts to unlock one character. It takes like 2100 hours to unlock everything or pay like 1k$. DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM EA !!!

    This is a new low even for EA. Not only is it unfinished with bugs everywhere and horrendous lag in some cases, it's pay to win with the heroes and loot crates behind a pay wall.

    Don't buy this. Please don't buy this, if you have any respect for Star Wars say No. Just no, Ea doesn't deserve to make another dime on this game. This game shouldn't even have made it past the alpha tests. It is without a doubt the worst game I have ever played (and i played both no man's sky and the division at launch).    … Expand

    Mediocre game, excluding pay-to-win monetization system. F**k EA. F**k Disney.
    P.S. It's funny to read 10/10 reviews from users with this only review saying something like "People can't understand that lootboxes are necessary", "EA made great game and soon it'll be better", "I'm not a bot", "My mom is great woman"

DICE/EA use this to UNBALANCE every game played to ensure maximum potential microtransactions. neither of these games EVER put players on an even playing field, there are always players with much more health, and much stronger fire power, and to really pound it home and punish these NEW players, the opposition uses tech like thermal vision, target acquisition etc. its not fun to be on either end of this **** completely decimating the other team over and over is BORINGGG, and getting raped again and again by guys who can head-shot you from across the entire map is annoying. every single match there are guys on each team that get 80 kills each when the server average is less than 10. its brilliant from a business standpoint, get kids mad enough, they will pay to get better gear and not be dominated unfairly. on top of all this, JUST LIKE ITS PREDECESSOR, SWBF2 is in no way an "FPS", everyone stays in third person and hides behind walls peeking over waiting for some sucker to walk by then BAM pop out and execute...THIS IS THE ENTIRE GAME NOW, its not competitive whatsoever..it is not fun at all! i hope EA/DICE lose their license agreement with star wars, they do not deserve it. ANGELS FALL FIRST is a MUCH better game, it very closely follows the ORIGINAL battlefronts, no BS. FUC# EA...FUC% DICE...and F@CK THIS STAR WARS GAME!… Expand

    I've been upset at EA NHL for many years. They've banned me from thier facebook for bad comments. I stopped playing the game i loved for many years. Once again they are STILL making games that require your time, not really any skill with Battlefront. This is what upset me with NHL.

    Don't buy this game; it's simple as that. EA is destroying the very essence of gaming with their greedy behavior. Do the world a favor and NEVER buy any of their publications EVER again. This game is also completely average and is NOT WORTH that much.

    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 game is the worst shooter of all time.

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

    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.

    Everything that's been said about this game I agree with. In fact, there is nothing new that I Personally can bring to the table. I'm only giving my rating to show my hatred for EA and this game, and to show that I too will not accept this business strategy. It's time to boycott EA fellas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought this game for 5$ at Origin Sale and its not even worth this. MP is just a mock to make you feel you are participating great battles, but when you turn off all those fancy "behind map" effects it turns to be one big hollow with few players on the map. So i went to play campaign and only prologue was enjoyable., but simple beyond measure. Battle of Endor was boring, only at landing pad there was some action, but again it was extremely hard to die there, only possible by leaving Iden in the middle of the pad for 30 sec. Dauntless - was annoying as hell, and almost unplayable with mouse. i was literally crashing on every turn on some space ships. No mention that it took me dozen of deaths to land at rebel spaceship since game give you no clue what to do in the hangar instead of just pressing button like in original Battlefront... The Observatory made me quit - indoctrinated spec ops guy just walks along Jedi, and speak like old friends .. was that a joke DiCE? Game spent more time on downloading than me on playing it.… Expand

    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]
