    So far I have played 79 hours of this game.. Surprisingly.. The game variation is limited and gets boring quickly. What worries me most is the lack of creativity. They have several different versions of a capture and hold type game mode that I can barely tell apart. It's cool that you can randomly find a hero hologram and be Luke or Vader in the game...

They have several different versions of a capture and hold type game mode that I can barely tell apart. It's cool that you can randomly find a hero hologram and be Luke or Vader in the game... Except it happens ALL THE TIME and it just isn't cool anymore! I imagine Luke Skywalker had better things to do than to be showing up (and dying) in every minor battle happening across the galaxy. I think those Heroes showing up should be very rare. I like the idea of being a rebel grunt. I don't need to be Han Solo every five seconds. The flying also lacks imagination. They chose to use a 3rd person view instead of throwing you inside the cockpit of an X-Wing which sucks. Oh you can choose to fly from the cockpit but you will die immediately. 3rd person flying gives you a definite advantage. Some of the maps are also rather small and I keep running into this Call of Duty effect where I spawn, run ten feet, fire on the enemy in front of me, and then get shot in the back.

    I feel like EA has produced a beautiful game with great in-game sound and a nice usage of original Star Wars music that enhances gameplay. I think they haven't thought about or asked enough people like me how they can get people addicted. I think the answer is simple. Immerse the gamer in the Star Wars world. Right now it's just another first person shooter that happens to have lasers instead of bullets. Instead of the tired old capture and hold have the rebels objective be a two or three part plan.

    What if the mission was to take over enemy communication posts and/or a hangar on a planet so you could attack an alternate dark side spawn point (an orbiting Imperial Battleship) unannounced, and in their imperial cargo ship? Land the ship and take your whole team in to try and attach explosives to the main power station causing the whole thing to blow to smithereens. This would be a great time to have some help from a Hero. At the climax of the match. If you only took the planet based hanger your trip to the battleship will be expected and the final battle inside the hangar bay of a battleship would be so intense. If you don't know Titan mode from Battlefield 2142, look it up. It's similar to this idea and ******* addicting.

    What if the Imperial Storm Troopers were tasked with storming a Rebel outpost? I'm talking Santa Anna's army storming the Alamo. Some 300 type action. The deck stacked against the Rebel's but even if you lose the match your kill count is going to be outrageous!

    I like these ideas because they are mine. You can hate them and that's fine. All I am saying is to use some damn imagination. The movies and books in the Star Wars line are oozing with creativity and currently this game has very little.

    I can't imagine I am going to be the first person to contact EA about this. I will send them this review and I hope their reaction isn't to ignore it. The worst part about this is that I spent $59 on the game and I have trouble finding full matches to join. It's sad.    … Expand

    An insult to the *10 year old* Battlefront 2. It has a fraction of the content, poor game design everywhere and costs 3x as much?

    Unfortunately, the mugs will pay for the game so they will keep churning out more.

    Dear EA,
    Ever since I heard about this game I have been excited, it was time for another Star Wars Battlefront game. Unfortunately that never happened. StarWars Battlefront be Ea is by no means an awful game, it simply boils down to the lack of content, a pathetic minimum of what it could be. The bottom-line is that EA has to change. No more DLC bull crap.
    Firstly the maps that they do    Dear EA,
    Ever since I heard about this game I have been excited, it was time for another Star Wars Battlefront game. Unfortunately that never happened. StarWars Battlefront be Ea is by no means an awful game, it simply boils down to the lack of content, a pathetic minimum of what it could be. The bottom-line is that EA has to change. No more DLC bull crap.

    Firstly the maps that they do offer are terribly small, and cluttered. One map rises above the rest, the Jawa Retreat not only is it boring there's crap everywhere simply put there for aesthetic purposes. Another terrible one is Endor. Half the time I can just barely see what I'm doing, and the other half I get killed by another player because the radar only shows a vague general direction of where the enemies are. However since most maps are small, EA put in lots of detail like frost crystals in snow caves and the sort. The only map that bears some resembles to familiar territory is The Battle of Jakku, which of course is DLC. Its large an open with many nooks and crannies to hind in and the wreckage of the Empires fleet tells a story in itself.

    Secondly there's 11 primary guns in the game. Only 11 which is pretty pathetic. However you could argue that Star wars Battlefront 2 only had like 8 or so for each Faction but, that amounted to 4x8= 32. 32 separate lookouts. In EA's version there is 11 guns which require a rank to unlock, and credits to buy. EA also implemented "STARCARDS" which are basically secondary abilities/weapons like grenades, pistols, anti vehicle weaponry that cant be used on infantry so mid battle your basically a sitting duck, more guns like a bow casters and long distance weaponry that is extremely cumbersome to use, weapon modifiers like faster cool down and charged shots that does more damage, and of course the jetpack. If I was making the game, and only had 11 weapons I would do the obvious and allow customizations, it still would not make up for the lack of weaponry, but it would at least be something. It would also fit the theme of Star Wars quite well. But alas what idiots EA are they gave us 11 guns like pocket change given to the homeless.

    Thirdly the "power up" system. There are many problems with it, firstly I'm all for the idea of the power up system. EA's Star wars Battlefront favors high rank players which can kill others in like 3 shots a rank up massive scores and allowing them to become Jedi would be unfair. However it is poorly executed, and rushed beyond believe. There is actually 1 power up that can prevent you from obtaining more. Its called card refresh and is for player that have more than three Cards to equip, but if your just starting out your basically screwed because there is no option to let the ability expire and you can not use it if you don't have 3 starcards. Another grippe is the piloting feature, flying is floaty and unresponsive and takes time to adjust to its slow controls.

    Finally game mechanics are quite terrible. First and foremost its Battlefront not a field. And more players we should be expecting 128+ players a game, but some of the 10~12 game modes only have 8 players per team! My God what is this, a free app game? Following that there is only 10~12 game modes, granted that most people will just play blast (team death match) supremacy (capture the flag/secure all the checkpoints) and turning point which came with the DLC, but at least acknowledge the wide and diverse modes players can enjoy. Also after playing the game yes there is very few maps/ planets, and no Space Battles, a sore and bitter disappointment. And as most know basically no single player or Campaign.

    All in all what it boils down to is lack of content. EA already has a Season pass DLC which add like another half of the game for 50 dollars. EA if your reading this I highly, highly recommend that you change your ways and make it free. Otherwise no one will buy Star Wars battlefront, because of the critical issues I have mentioned here. I you make the DLC free, modify some smaller maps, add more game modes, a single player campaign, more heroes and guns, and generally make it more like Star Wars Battlefront and less Battlefieldy, then you will see the impressive sales you'd expect for a Star Wars game. Otherwise this game is nothing more than a hollow shell of what could have been a great successor to the original games.

    So in conclusion I stand by my 3 Stars, and the only way this game will sell is if players and the global community of people who bought this came boycott the $50 dollar DLC and show that EA does not have the right to release such a disappointing game that literally stains Star Wars. So, boycott the DLC don't buy it, ever just don't do it if enough people don't buy it then we might see some changes. **** EA and **** there DLC and greed money swallowing Season Pass DLC    … Expand

    It's a fun game for sure, the main issue is just that there isn't enough of the fun game to justify the $60 price, especially with all the content cut for DLC. Wait for a good discount, I'd say the game is about worth it at around $35 max.

The game feels more like Battlefield than anything else.

    Another very annoying and disappointing aspect is that it's extremely bad value for a game. You pay 60 Euro's for 4 different locations, no single-player campaign and a repetitive multiplayer experience. EA also expects everybody to invest another 50 Euro's in the Season Pass, which funnily enough appears to offer just as little content as the base game. This is pure money-grabbing.

    I'm not saying that Battlefront isn't fun. The game is however, the best example for quality over quantity I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the spectacular visuals don't make up for its unjustified price-tag as well as lack of content.    … Expand

So instead, we get iconic recreated single player scenes a.k.a "Missions" that perfectly allow you to replay these scenes. The speeder race level is as good as any campaign mission. I find them to be infinitely more entertaining than a contrived campaign.

    And finally it's a "dice" game. If you like battlefield, you'll like battlefront. And of course the opposite is true.

    This game is without a doubt , the most disappointing game of 2015 , not to mention that fans of the series waited 10 years for a sequel.

    This is a shell of a game with no real depth , innovation or even enough content to be sold as a $60 game.
    It is clear that the investors and producers put all their effort and money on the graphics , creating some of the best looking environments we've ever in a video game.
    Problem is , that their forgot to work on the gameplay. As a DICE fan and a huge fan of the Battlefront series I must confess that this is their worst game yet.
    Don't expect to get a Battlefield-like experience out of this , even I - being a huge STAR WARS nerd , often find myself getting frustrated when playing this game. It is mindless , repetitive , offers no variety or strategic gameplay.

    The Singleplayer mode is a joke , badly designed with no replay value or enough content to keep you entertained. The Multiplayer is also very restricted when it comes to options , you can't even host or join other user-created servers , there's no VOIP in a 2015 game and only a couple of Game Modes are actually worth it.

    This game should have had space to ground battles , clone wars , capital ships flying over your head , a dozen of planets (the game only offers 4) , intense vehicle combat (there is only 1 ground vehicle in the game).
    It's like while they were developing this game , EA and DICE did a lot of coke and decided it was a good marketing idea to sell graphics with the 'Star Wars' Title and threw away everything that made Battlefield so awesome.

    So , in conclusion , I give this game a 4/10 , as a Star Wars fan I could have given it an 8 but this is a freaking video game so if it doesn't pay well , it doesn't matter if you render the rocks perfectly.
    Dear EA , in a day were people play Minecraft (the worst looking game) , you decided to spent all your budget on recreating rocks to a photorealistic level instead of just adding a few more maps and a proper campaign mode. Well done!

    Limited and inexcusable content on launch means this game gets old and boring fast. The imbalance on some of the maps is still problematic (Endor Walker Assault for example) .

    Customisation is, well, where to start? If unlocking haircuts and beards is your 'Star Wars authentic' thing for your helmetless Stormtrooper, then roll right up. This game will cater for your every need. Whilst doing that, don't forget to load up with the FOTM DL-44 blaster,a pulse cannon sniper rifle and a jump pack for hours of endless COD Advanced Warfare goodness.

    Spawning is horrendous in this game - I've lost count of the number of times I've spawned right in front of an AT-ST or AT-AT or yards from an enemy player . Spawn, BOOM, get down. At least sometimes you get a break from that by having to run from 200 yards back to rejoin the battle.

    THE extra cost of the DLC is quite frankly disgraceful given what's in the base game. The new free Battle of Jakku DLC map is as forgettable as the rest of them after a couple of hours play. It's just more of the same, with a ridiculous grenade spamming pistol shooting toe to toe royal rumble at the end for the last control point.

    This game has been touted as the best Star Wars game ever. I disagree. It's without doubt the best looking one, but that's about it. My advice is go find something else to play for the meantime, be an informed consumer , read the reviews, watch the video reviews too , and if you must buy it, wait a bit for the price to come down considerably. Good games don't get this much negative publicity without good reason, so you have to ask yourself why? Put the inner need to satisfy the Star Wars fan in you to one side for a moment, and let your head rule your heart before getting your money out.    … Expand

    I would like to start off by saying I have put 16 hours into this game. While that may not be as much as most people I feel it is enough to give an accurate review of this game.

While that may not be as much as most people I feel it is enough to give an accurate review of this game. Alright, so you load up the game, you go into your first multiplayer match so excited to finally be playing Battlefront. You load in, start running towards the objective and what happens? A few things can happen here: you get spawn killed by a dude in an AT-AT who has been in it since the start of the game, a person running around spamming the most OP pistol in the game killing you in two hits, or a maxed out guy jet packing around nade spamming the hell out of everyone at the objective. This is just to name a few. I am very pissed off with the result of this game. They put art, audio, and animations over anything else in the game. As someone who has been waiting for a Battlefront 3 since I was just a small boy this has not met my expectations. Below is a list of pros and cons:

    Pros:
    Fantastic graphics and scenery in the maps
    Great audio sound effects
    Epic battles

    Cons:
    No single player/instant action
    No space battles
    One-sided maps
    Lack of maps
    OP guns and equipment
    Terrible spawns

    There were a few more things I can put but I felt it would be too specific. Angry rant now down, I honestly feel let down. I wanted the next battlefront game to have the stuff the old ones do and more. I didn't want a downgrade of game play to enhance the visuals or audio. Honestly, it felt like they pushed this game out way to early to be released close with the movie to generate a bigger profit. If they took their time developing this game instead of spending the couple of years that they did. I also feel like it couldn't have gone to a worse company (EA). I know DICE developed the game but EA is stamped all over the mother **** title page and pictures. I just really hope they fix the obvious issues with the game instead of fingering their **** while counting their money.    … Expand

    The gunplay is garbage. Get shot at long range by pistols. Extremely inaccurate sniper style weapons?
    The vehicles... hooo boy.... Rebels have NO GROUND VEHICLES.
    The spawn system will frequently spawn you into an area already taken over by the opposing team OR so far back it's going to take you 45 seconds to a minute just to get back to the action.
    There is 0 diversity in kit loadouts. The star cards are garbage and half of them you need to REBUY after the charges deplete. That's right, not find ammo in game but REBUY from the unlocks.
    I didn't preorder this game but rather got sucked into the hype machine by friends who did and I wish I hadn't

    It's quite clear by the 50.00 season pass and the fact that they're already working on a sequel (WTF!?) that this game is going to be doled out piecemeal along side the next 3 films and EA plans to make bank on gullible Star Wards fans.

    as everyone has said graphics and sound are great and runs pretty smooth
    as for the multiplayer, levels are very unbalanced for the walker assault, dont even try winning on endor if you're playing as the empire
    the guns are somewhat poorly done, there's a gun that you'll unlock at level 3 but at level 5 you can get a gun that is a direct upgrade to it which is pretty pointless, i think there's a few more there as well
    if you're ever caught wondering what gun the guy at the top of the leader board is using it's han solo's blaster with it's 2 shot kill
    there's also the lack of content (4 maps and a bunch of gamemodes 2 of which people will only play, walker assault and deathmatch were the only ones i could get a game for)for it's hefty $90 AUD pricetag for the standard edition and the $60 season pass if you want the future content, likely 1 new map per dlc
    for those who want to return this game you can in the first 30 days if you bought through origin

    Netcode

    unbalanced weapons
    Disappointing customization (omg wow i can change to an old guy or an alien golly gee)

    TLDR; DICE made this a great Star Wars game (10/10 infact) but EA has ruined it by restricting content so early bringing it down to 8/10 for me...

    Okay, lets start with DICE who has done a great job DEVELOPING this game. Personally as far as a Star Wars game goes I'd consider this a 10/10 DICE perfected the Star Wars lore... as the game on a whole goes all things considered, 8/10.

    Why? well while DICE delivered a great looking (the graphics are easily the best of 2015) and superbly crafted Star Wars experience, the shooting mechanics are great, though some weapons are overpowered as all hell. Which makes for some annoying moments in the game where you or your opponent can clean up an entire group with no effort, this can let gun play down a small amount.

    Vehicles are a little let down, PC controls can be a challenge to get a hang of, but once you've got it down, you're going to town with them.

    Game modes are... well.. out the 9 or so different game modes people only seem to play 3 of them more than the others (Supremacy, Walker Assault & Heroes VS Villains) all other game modes are virtually empty (from my experiences)

    There is so much I could talk about for the most part DICE have made a great game... EA on the other hand, have taken full advantage of the Star Wars licence therefore butchering the game, seriously who sells a game for $89.99 AUD and then justifies a season pass for $59.99 AUD... I mean... that's just **** straight up ****.

    It almost seems EA have choked DICE from adding more content so early, that's where the problem lies with this game, content is not there for the sake of EA making more money by adding it later on... Unfortunately it seems the only way to have a definitive experience with this, albeit amazing Star Wars game is to buy the season pass.

    So for me personally these are the most pressing issues about the game and honestly its a great experience its fun, its gorgeous, it really isn't bad, its just EA ruined DICE'S rep by restricting content so early and adding a season pass for a BS amount of dollars.    … Expand

    Which brings us to starwars battlefront....and my overly long incoherent ramble haha

    This is a tough review as the galaxy really is divided as this is not a proper game or it was until it was rushed out unfinished or at worse intentionally released incomplete as part of an insipid cash grab.
    I've never experience anything like this.
    A potential great game stripped to the bones with mostly amazing sound and audio but then some insidious business model forced upon it.

    Research and costing
    So I have read every critic review I could find about 20..and I have read about 100 user reviews and comments and forum posts before making my purchase.
    I could not justify paying for a game so many argued were flawed knowing that it was without a single player campaign and knowing that that choice wasn't so they could make the best game they could...it was so they could make the best game they could in the allotted time frame.
    I ended up trading in games to justify the cost and paying £25.

    For £25 swbf is a good deal.
    But not if you then have to pay for a psplus account.
    I had a strong feeling I'd not be playing long so bought 1 month at £5.
    So total cost £30....£30 is too much for this game.

    No critic reviews talk about the actual,cost I the uk of this game.
    If you want the complete game ...and I say that as the game has only a few recycled maps which get boring so quickly it's spooky that there is no way it could be described as complete.
    sadly as is the case across the board from guns to vehicles to heroes and modes....there is a lack of everything and all of it is pretty samey.
    So the complete package costs a terrifying £110 for game plus dlc that's like $150!!! And if you want to play 90% of the modes add another £ 40 for psplus...that's omg....£150... For a game which will,still have fewer everything than the previous instalment ...ten years prior....:-0
    £150 and the game isn't perfect

    The business model
    The business model is so awful and obvious that I would argue the game should be free.
    Yes 100% free and then you purchase extra weapons! characters , emotes! junk etc. but not maps.
    This dlc map cr@p will only divide an already divided community.
    Swbf is a divisive game.
    It is aimed at fans but also casual newbies.
    So we end up with half the players owning just the bare bones game becoming bored very quickly of the few maps and modes and the other half after paying a fortune being I'm guessing quite happy.
    But still half of these will be unhappy that the game is very arcadey and simplistic lacking any real,depth or substance.
    Why would dice and ea and Disney do this?
    Why would they also not allow modding or much split screen or co op modes and an award friend a pairing system...why a lot of odd choices in this game?
    Simply because they don't care and they have spent half the budget in marketing the game and tricking and lying people on what it looks like and how it plays.
    The trailers are amazing....the game is nothing like that , not remotely which is a shame as it shows what the game could have been given a little more time and love.
    The star cards system is a product of that system which screams micro transaction grooming and the random coin pickups shouts gambling. Everything you do in regards to gameplay and progression seems to be geared up to prepare a child for ea apps which are cash cows for a soulless company hell bent of ruining gaming.

    Graphics
    What we do have is a game which looks pretty but still has a lot of pop up and jagged edges and few wow moments. The animations are plain and especially on the heroes. Everything looks similar and not quite good enough after seeing the trailer or those amazing stills.
    I would say that the game doesn't look real it looks like the toys of the film in that it's all so ...sanitised.
    Even the many scuffs look like a texture scuff afterthought.
    The vehicles look off...they aren't as weighty as previous bad ass instalments like the rogue squadron series or even previous battlefronts which at times were notoriously floaty feeling but looked solid.
    A good looking game though with little slow down and a pretty consistent frame rate.

    Sound
    Music is perfect...it's starwars ! But it's often not appropriate for what you are doing...many soundtracks seem odd and there is often too much music when it be nice to have planet ambience.
    The sound effects are great but rarely do,the guns make a sound which shocks or awes.
    Run out of character lol Conclusion: buy next year or for less than £25. Prepare to be disappointed if you love games and or starwars. It is what it is...sadly it's all we have so if you need a fix buy it...but then trade it in a week later    … Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront feels and immerses you wonderfully into the Star Wars universe. From the sounds of thrilling blaster fire to the creaking and crashing noises of an AT-AT ever matching towards the end of the Rebels you won't find a more impressive entry than this.

    However, the experience is only surface deep. The only unique game mode present is Walker Assault while the rest at slight spins on already well established game modes. That isn't the root of the issue though. The game lacks serious depth in terms of community with no functions to facilitate it such as having the ability to create your own private clan/army/splinter cell. In addition to this the guns are wholly underwhelming and don't differentiate themselves from one another outside of differing fire rates. The fact that no true anti-air weapons exist is laughable to the point that the game promotes players to camp vehicle spawns in Walker Assault.

    With everything being said the scores here don't matter. EA has fleeced me of my money once again. Perhaps this will be the defining moment when more of us begin to properly consider who is behind making the game instead of falling for pretty trailer in the future.    … Expand

Additionally, get the notion that this is a 'BATTLEFRONT' game OUT OF YOUR HEAD. If this was called something else like STAR WARS: KILLZONE (terrible name i know lol) it would be a lot more positively perceived. And seriously no    Take note:

Who gives a fk about a **** 8hr campaign, i can guarantee you that if this game had a 'campaign' it would of been cringe, and compromises would of been made on the already content lacking MP.

    And while I actually encourage these mis-representative reviews (cos f**k EA), it shouldn't be taken to much into consideration if you actually want to buy this. Actively seeking for negatives (which **** everyone is doing) just means a WORSE experience for YOU. Focus on the positives and immerse yourself in it :) (life advice as well)

    Also, this needs to be made clear. *It's a trap!*, EA's abysmal business model means that this game is likely going to die (on PC in smaller pop. countries, consoles are fine) after holiday season. This can also be attributed to the abysmal matchmaking system (maybe patchable?) So that MEANS YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SOON if you want your money's worth, no waiting for hectic price drops (e.g. BF4+All maps = $45AU right now!).

    Super **** pissed how they managed to 'ruin' such a potentially GOTY game. If this had a bigger player base (mainly on PC), 2-3 more planets in the box, fixed partner system + matchmaking and something that would encourage/guide more teamwork-orientation this would be an EASY 9+/10 for any star wars+shooter fan.

    Let's start with the positives:
    - If you are a star wars fan (someone who tingles at the sound of SLAVE I firing it's cannons), generally LIKE playing the objective (esp. with friend(s)) and are at least half-decent at shooters this is highly recommended for you. Even role playing in ur head is fun lol (defend the princess!!)
    - Man if you play this on max settings w/ good audio, you would ACTUALLY feel like you're in the battle, or playing some 'interactive' movie, I don't know how to describe it. Very immersive and honestly f****** epic if you choose it to be. Personally, something about being a sneaky-beaky 'scout' on Endor is just so intense.
    - Great player card system, can take on multiple varying roles for specific situtations/guns/playstyle. Your partner/friend can use your card-preset (e.g. jetpacks) and vice versa.
    - Easy to make an impact/carry if you know what you're doing, especially as a hero (Someone team-based like Leia)
    - EARLY LEVELS SUCK (good thing) and it's designed well for you to learn the ropes! Good incentive and very rewarding getting new unlocks! You tend to be at a disadvantage and rarely get good drops because jetpack people will always beat you lol, but can be negated by having a friend/partner who can give you his jetpack.
    - GREAT GAME to play OCCASIONALLY, pick it up and put it down say 5hrs every 2 days you will be playing this for WEEKS if you actually like it. If you like the game, expect to put in 50-150+ hrs.
    - If you get pretty/really good you can single-handedly turn the tide of an even/slightly-losing game if you go hard at the objective (EVEN BETTER WITH A FRIEND).

    Negatives:
    - NO TEAM RESHUFFLING (patchable?) means once a team starts steam-rolling it will keep on doing so until enough 'bad' players on the opposing team leave and are replaced with higher ranked players. Gets unbalanced real fast, rarely any close games which is a shame because CLOSE GAMES ARE SO AWESOME. In the early hours of the morning when servers are at a minimum the problem is basically unavoidable (can't change lobbies) and you will either be dominating or getting reamed.
    - COMPLETELY BROKEN PARTNER SYSTEM when playing SOLO (unless you are actually partied w/ a friend, otherwise it's great)
    - FLIGHT CONTROLS on PC are almost unplayable. Sure you can get decent/great by practicing quite a lot in 'fighter squadron'(game mode), but if you have a PS4/XBOX controller to plug into your PC, don't worry you'll be the BEST pilot on PC (+ you get a massive advantage over everyone else so you can basically single-handedly dominate the skies haha!)
    - ORIGIN/BATTLEFRONT CLIENT IS TERRIBLE ON PC. As with all games that run with origin, even on an absolute monster of a PC, this game takes YEARS to ALT+TAB, EXIT, and you may experience occasional crashes, onset of in-game static. Even when you 'ALT+TAB' IT DOESN'T DO IT PROPERLY, the game just windows itself still taking up 3/4 of your screen. Ruins the fluidity and next-gen feel of the actual game.
    - LACK OF MAPS/PLANETS. However does great with what it does have. FREE planet coming out today.
    - SPAWNS on some game modes are a little off. Just needs some tweaking. Don't always listen to those who complain about spawns though, as it would ruin the pacing of certain gamemodes (eg Walker Aslt.)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo tem gráficos lindos e uma ótima ambientação no universo Star Wars, mas além disso há poucos pontos positivos.
    Não sei nem por onde começar a apontar defeitos, então vou começar pelo pior:

    Combate aéreo.

    Ao fazer curva sua nave se mexe tanto de um lado pro outro da tela que você perde a noção da direção que está indo. A velocidade das naves é mínima, e só não é pior do que a dos lasers no combate no solo, mas isso é outro ponto. As naves parecem parar no ar, ao invés de um combate agil e rapido como por exemplo no Xwing vs Tie fighter. O travamento de mira é irritante e seria melhor se não existisse. Não há diferença grande o suficiente do combate terrestre para o aéreo além do fato do combate ser em 3 eixos. A não ser que você consiga colocar o cursor exatamente no centro do monitor, vc não poderá voar em linha reta. As manobras U turn e Roll não são executadas pelo jogador, mas apenas acionadas por um botão e a máquina faz o resto.

    Combate Terrestre:

    Você vai morrer de one shot para cartas que você não terá até alcançar um determinado rank. Após isso você continuará morrendo sem saber de onde vem os One Shot, com a diferença que poderá dar onde shot também. As armas, como em todos os batlefronts são ridiculamente ruins em comparação com armas dos battlefileds. A velocidade do laser é tão pouca que você precisa se antecipar a um AT-ST andando, ou ele já terá saido do lugar quando seus tiros finalmente alcançarem ele. Isso faz com que o combo pistola+jetpack seja matador: nãoi é possível acertar alguem vindo de jetpack na sua direção pois seus tiros são mais lentos do que a velocidade do jetpack em voo e isso é ridiculo para um jogo fps.
    As armas anti veiculo não te deixam atirar em outra coisa que não seja um veiculo. se vc está com uma arma dessa na mao e um inimigo aparece na sua frente vc não pode usar ela nele!!! A arma não deixa!!!! What???

    O mesmo serve para o missel teleguiado anti pessoal! você ão pode atirar em veiculos, nem atirar antes da mira estar travada!! O inimigo está 5m na sua frente e vc nao pode atirar antes que a mira esteja travada. Que tipo de arma faz isso? mas vamos lá. Tem coisa pior.
    A melhor arma do jogo não é um fuzil, não é uma sniper, não é uma heavy machinegun, é uma pistola!! Sim senhores, um cara com jetpack e pistolinha vai te matar muitas, mas muitas vezes mesmo até que você também possa fazer o mesmo com outros players.
    Sua arma pesada capaz de danificar um AT-AT será inútil se vc estiver enfrentando cara a cara alguém com essas pistolas.
    As granadas não são seu equipamento, são cartinhas, como as cartinhas pokemon, que você carrega um baralho de 60 cartas no bolso e pode usar uma de 5 em 5 segundos. isso, somado ao fato de que você pode se esconder e se regenerar mais rapido que o wolverine, faz do jogo um campeonato de arremesso de granada. Se você não morrer para uma pistolinha, você vai morrer para granada 90% das vezes, pode anotar.
    Droga, granadas são um equipamento, não cartas. elas tem peso e volume, como alguém pode lançar 30 granadas no mesmo jogo? Onde está o suply drop? Não existe. Use suas granadas/misseis, se esconda, use denovo depois de 5s, win!!

    Match making

    Tem muitos outros jogos mais antigos e com menos jogadores que demoram menos para te encaixar numa partida. As vezes a demora para entrar em uma partida é tanta que acabo perdendo o interesse e entro em outro jogo. Tem vários modos de jogo, mas apenas alguns são jogados, Walker assault por exemplo. Nos outros a demora para achar um time é muito maior e não passam de um counter strike de star wars. Nunca consegui time para supremacy, por exemplo, nem posso dizer o que achei desse modo...

    O itens colecionaveis são emotes, que você não vai ver ninguem usando, e outfits sem funcionalidade alguma.

    Outfits

    Os soldados disponíveis não tem carisma algum, são feios e sem graça, parecem mais com um personagem aleatório do The Sims, exceto pela Twilek azul que é muito legal.

    Eu tentei devolver esse jogo pela Origin, mas meu metodo de pagamento não aceita devolução....

    Fiquei preso com esse jogo e o pacote de DLC de R$99,00 que comprei junto movido pelo Hype. Parabéns para mim por ter sido tão estúpido.    … Expand

    DICE has become a company that just makes pretty things that doesnt work - in their whole lifetime there will be **** that doesnt work like you could expect from a fullpriced AAA title. Hit detection was the major problem in their previous games on this engine, as of now its more like the whole thing - the aparently spend so much time on graphics and sound that everything else is rushed or left out. This game is an insult to Star Wars fans everywhere.

    In modes with turrets and vehicles you are just cannon fodder - you instant-die from whatever those things fire at you. On top of that they have area damage and they are hard to destroy - so if you get a good score it means you are either in a vehicle, a turret or you became an unstoppable super unbalanced overpowered hero.
    Gamemodes without vehicles are much better to play, but again - the unbalance comes off right away. The higher level guns you have unlocked the easier your killstreaks will become.

    Giving 0 for that game is just a sign of some kind of frustration. Either the game didn't meet your idealized expectations (because you wanted it to be a BF4 with StarWars skins), maybe you suck at it (those who said the gun play is shallow and arcade-like) or maybe because you are outraged by the EA's pricing policy. I can applaud to the last one, but it does not excuse the 0 score. JustGiving 0 for that game is just a sign of some kind of frustration. Either the game didn't meet your idealized expectations (because you wanted it to be a BF4 with StarWars skins), maybe you suck at it (those who said the gun play is shallow and arcade-like) or maybe because you are outraged by the EA's pricing policy. I can applaud to the last one, but it does not excuse the 0 score. Just for graphic, music, number of game modes and the 'feel' of the SW this game is worth solid 7. Let's address some of the most common negative comments then:
    1. Gun Play - People are complaining about the shallow gunplay - but you are shooting a laser. There is no bullet drop, there is no air resistance or gravity. This is exactly the way it should be. Of course these rays should be invisible if we are sticking to the reality, but this is SW reality, so they are visible. Also some complain about explosives being overused and laser fight is not that important. This is due to the fact they never spent much time with the game. On level 25th I don't use any explosives (apart Ion Torpedoes on some maps - but they are strictly AT). And that actually made my stats to soar up. Grenades are easy to dodge with the jet pack and mastering your favorite blaster is much more beneficial (alas not an easy task).
    2. No Single Player. This is just a lie. The single player is there. As well as simple co-op game. I suppose we will see more modes for them with the first DLC. However there is no story mode (which I never play anyway - especially with Dice games)
    3. Poor balance - This is the game which is by default unbalanced (especially the Walkers Mode), and thanks to that it doesn't feel like the generic shooter. Leaving alone the Walkers mode the unbalance is coming from the fact that empire have some vehicles, while rebels have only fighters. This is due the SW lore. On the other hand the storm troopers are not camouflaged in any way (apart of the snow maps where the shining whiteness is beneficial), while rebels are blending more with the background on all maps. This may not be a big difference for players which played for few hours but after 24 hours in the game you can feel the difference and actually I prefer to play the rebels. Also the feeling of imbalance may come from the fact that some players didn't play beta (or played it very shortly). Those who played it to the max had a terrific head start on the first few days.
    4. No customization. I'm a big fan of guns customization so some small additions would be nice (like light/sound suppressors for beams for example). However thanks to the arcade style of the gun fight it is not a necessary feat, especially that the skill cards are actually making up for it and I wouldn't be surprised if the beam suppression wouldn't come as a skill card with some DLC. Skin customization is not as important for me, however taking off the helmets from the stormtroopers seems daft. According to the Imperial Regulation no. 778 no trooper can take off his helmet during the action :P.
    5. No team play features. This is not a huge problem for me as my favorite game play is long range. But I think team of 4 would be better, especially for rebels in the walker assault mode.
    6. Not enough content. I think that creating these 4 worlds to the tiniest detail was a pretty good job, but additional 2 worlds would make that better. Fortunately they are coming free with the first DLC (for these who pre-ordered the game). 6 big maps + many mods will make it good enough for the price. I don't think additional weapon will make much difference, however some additional hand cards probably will let for some more customization of the gameplay style.
    7. The PRICE. It depends on you expectations. I played beta so I got exactly what I expected. Already more than 25 hours in the game, it payed for itself as I had a great fun.

    In total - this is the game which is really easy to play but also really hard to master. It is the kind of the game I was missing from the library. Something you switch on to rest from your stressing job. It doesn't need as much thinking and planning as Arma or BF, no team expectation stress like in CS:GO. If I wanted a great single player mode, I would play Fallout 4. With Battlefront you just simply switch it on and kill foes. It makes it very casual, but so what? Games are played for the pleasure. And I still have all these other games if I wanted something else.
    Normally I would give it a 9, but to fight the trolling I'll give it 10.    … Expand

    2nd poor benefit system for PTFO
    this is a very very teambased game. Most of the games you see a team camping and just going for kills. At the end screen of a match the dude with most kills is being showed and highlighted. IMO the game need to improve the award system in a manner that playing the objectives highly rewarded.

    you spawn miles away from action, getting back into action takes more time than santa needs to bring all presents to all kids worldwide. It is a pain especially for players that like to rush.

    4th Handblasters as primary for regular troops WTH?
    This is kinda looking dumb, regular troops have rifles not handblasters- i would go with it if they were secondary but then some need a heavy nerf. At least the DL44 is way to OP.

    poor controls, no roling, autoaiming no flightstick support.

    6th Stormtroopers without helmets
    now THAT is ridiculous and the heads are the same as the rebel ones.

    The core gameplay remains immensely satisfying, a nice hybrid of battlefield metagame with punchy arena-like gun play that amplifies the addictive qualities of DICE's legacy games; it's almost enough to keep one hooked for a long time. Almost.
    Were it not for the promise that battlefront offers and the knowledge that more content and patches are on the way, I would certainly be disappointed with my 60$ purchase; to be honest DICE has a history of botching launches, and EA has been trending towards DLC compartmentalization for years. Battlefront is just another tantalizing example of their collective legacy.    … Expand

Shooting is very simple, weapons and equipment are not well balanced, some are too strong, some completely useless. Controlling the fighters is almos like autopilot, you lock-on, and then you shoot, then you kill, and then you also die, the process repeats. Very dull and boring.

    Customization is a joke, helmet-less Stormtroopers? What? A bazillion of heads, that's it.
    The starcards equipments, the only one I see people using is homing missile (a anti-person seeking missile) and the barrage (a nade spam launcher) and grenades.

    Objectives in the game? Forget it, there is no point taking down the AT-AT, you will die time and time again, trying to enable or disable the uplinks, this game doesn't encourages team-play nor going for objectives. The game doesn't offer Battlefront 2 liberty to go where you want. Forget it, imagine a huge corridor with AT-ATs in it. That's Walker Assault and Supremacy (supremacy doesn't have the AT-AT), all the other modes aren't much more than a simple deathmatch game.

    The only actual vehicle you can play with is the AT-ST. The AT-AT is on rails, you can't drive it. Taking down an AT-AT with the Airspeeder is automatic, it spins around the walker automatically and all you have is a dumb mini-game where you try to maintain the dot inside the grey area and that's it. If someone starts shooting you while you are doing it, the tow cable is detached and you crash into the ground.

    It doesn't have enough maps, only four for Walker Assault and Supremacy. The maps that are here, do not give you freedom to roam around. Remember the chasing scenes with the speeders in Endor? Forget it, there is not room for playing with the speeders. There are not nearly enough weapons as there could have been. And you know why? Because you will have to buy the rest of the game through DLC.

    There are invisible walls in some areas in the rebel base mountain in Hoth that have invisible walls. You can't get to the top of the mountain, even that there is a path to it, there are invisible walls in other areas as well that you could go to with Boba Fett, but you hit your nose on these walls.

    So, this game is a complete disappointment, terrible. I'll keep playing, yes, but only because I can't get a refund.

The game really has the great look and feel of Star Wars and the maps are really well balanced which brings us to the real challenge of the game. A lot of people have complained the game is short of content. If you look at some of the best multiplayer games, they have had a few maps which have then been built on, but for me EA has done what EA does. It has maximised its product and so are going to kill you in the pocket by adding the rest of the game through downloadable content. Having worked in the industry for 8 years, I realise a company has to make its money, but this is why the game isn't getting a higher score. There should have been additional maps and I think that held back some of the reviews. However put that to one side and I genuinely think the game is a hell of lot of fun. You need to past a lot of the reviews because I don't the scores add up and are basically reactionary ranting. Be objective in your review! EA do really need to review their content structuring, but don't let that put you off as this really is a great game and sets itself aside from the COD generation.… Expand

    How to describe Battlefront:
    - Grenade spam (worse than any other game)
    - Bad team balance
    - Awful spawn points
    - Good graphics (that's probably the only positive aspect everyone can agree on)

    Waste of money and time.

    This game has amazing graphics and sound. That's about all it has.
    It lacks content, which was cut out and will be released as DLC for the price of the game. So if you want a full game you must pay twice the price.

It really gives you the feeling of being in a Star Wars movie. That's the plus side and EA/Dice should win awards for just how fantastic the graphics are as well as the sound. No question. If they don't win awards, for visual and audio, I would be very surprised.

    Now... for the "Game" part.... As good as the sound and graphics are, the gameplay is the EXACT opposite. It's atrocious. I can't even get my head around what they were trying to accomplish or what their vision was, if they even had any. It's bizarre, because on one hand you have this such a stunning visual and audio immersion, then you have some sort of mosh pit of random, meaningless gameplay. The hit detection (if you can call it that) is without a doubt, the most random garbage you could imagine. There's no sense of any reason or goal to it. It takes zero (and I mean ZERO) skill to play this game.

    It's an extremely weak arena of random death with meaningless "objectives" that nobody even bothers to pay attention to. Because if you do, you'll be fired upon with as much laser fire and grenade spam possible. Taking cover is a waste of time. You spend more time looking at the respawn screen more than you do playing. You can literally be shot from across the map by someone with the starting gun, that you can't even see. Everyone just runs around randomly firing at each other and this game is the poster child for "Grenade Spam" You could actually remove the guns from the game because they are meaningless, and just let people throw overpowered grenades at each other.

    You want to like this game, because the graphics and the atmosphere warrants it, you feel like you SHOULD like this game because it looks like it's supposed to be quality, but you can't. There's no "game", just random garbage being thrown around on a beautiful landscape. If you took the audio and visual elements of of this, it wouldn't sell for a dollar. I'm not joking, it's that terrible.

    Not even going to go into the fact that there are only four maps, but it just compounds the insult to the fact that you spent $60 bucks on it already, and unless you pop another $50 (fat chance of that) that this is the best it's gonna get.

    To say this game is a disappointment, would be an understatement.    … Expand

    Not for me. Needs some of the Star Wars magic, not just the great A/V presentation.

    Also very expensive for so little actual game. At launch it was $79.99 CDN, and the DLC pack for a year is another $69.99. That is insane. EA needs to pull it's head out. There is no game here, just pretty graphics. They should be offering a year of DLC as part of that ridiculous $*) for a game charge.

    Con's
    *Lack of maps, 4 in total, and in those 4 maps areas are used for game modes, but in the ends its just copy paste.
    *Lack of balance, it is shocking at how bad the balance is in maps, I heard Imperials won mostly in beta and now its rebels.
    Air vs Air between the two are also very imbalanced, Rebel ships are far superior.
    Ground vs Ground looks okay at first, but players who have level'd ahead will have a large advantage over new players. With unlocks and the likes.
    *Lack of customization and progression, you can upgrade 'cards'(really cards...) and buy emotes and or a different looking head. But gun wise, altering its way of use, no.
    *Lack of variety, after doing Walker assault 4 times I already got bored, its small and linear. Because the maps share everything pretty much, you seen it all after your first 4 matches.
    *Lack of control options, cant change half of the keybinds I would like to change, options to control mouse sensitivity seems to work on some things and then not ( for example zooming in with a ATST increases senstivity instead of decreasing.. QA failed there.
    *Flying is impossible with mouse and keyboard, they broke it after beta from what I can read.
    *Lack of any tactic, its just spawn, shoot, die, spawn shoot die. No flanking options, not enough tools for any kind of teamplay.
    *To many instant kill ways, there are just far to many oneshot things in the game, it isn't any fun.

    Now the worst thing of all. Considering they wear the name Battlefront, how could they have removed or ignored all the great things of Battlefront 1 and 2, how is this possible? How can they ignore or the good things about Battlefield, being Dice and all? How could they come up with a CoD in Star Wars, and then done it so poorly.. it baffles me. In every area of gameplay and map design there are issues. But DLC is coming I read often, it doesnt matter I spend 60 euros, because I can pay another 100 and finally have a decent game.

    Which brings me to the bad things: The gameplay.
    How can a game be so boring? So stale? So bland? So dull? So skill-less?

    Gunplay is random, deaths are random, powerups are random. It really doesn't require skill. Nothing does. You will never see someone extremely skilled be on top of the scoreboard, purely because they are good, because even bad players can get on top if they are lucky enough to have good powerups or enter a lot of vehicles (which is only available for the Empire).

    There is no teamwork, since it is simply not possible. Matches are as follows:
    1) Spawn
    2) Shoot
    3) Kill
    4) Die of a random nade or powerup.

    This is only extended a long time if you use powerups. It's just boring. There is 0 variety in the game. My fear is that everything will be in DLCs, which you need to buy ofc...

    Plus, the higher your level is, the more powerful your traits will be. It makes new players not only fight against experienced players, but also against players with more health/damage!    … Expand

    For some PVP is wonderful, and I am, to be honest not that bad at it. There is an issue however when you leave out everybody who doesn't love PVP. For example I play a lot of video games, spend hours grinding to max level and truly love to play, many of my friends also enjoy games but are just not that good at them. They would like to play with me in a non competitive way, you ever heard of co-op? I'm sorry but a tacked on survival mode, is not even remotely enough in this area. Especially when you can only play it with one friend. So all of the people who were looking forward to this game with true excitement, now have no choice but to play PVP with me and get stomped on by COD losers and get called unspeakable things by 12 year old PVP obsessed children.
    Is the gun play a little shallow? Yes. Is the PVP woefully unbalanced? Yes. Is that the biggest problem? No. The real problem here is that STAR WARS FANS can't enjoy this game, only PVP players can(yes, I realize there are those who are both). A campaign mode would help but even just giving us custom match mode vs AI would solve most of the problems. It would be nice to sign in and play with people who just want to have fun and feel like they are in Star Wars. I really had hoped for a game like the original battlefront, but with the stellar graphics we have always wanted to see. What I got was another FPS PVP fest that can't even compete with the dedicated PVP titles. I would give this game a lower score, but there is hope that it could be turned around in the future with some of the DLC. In addition the graphics are so impressive that it still holds some sway on me, but if I can't enjoy them with friends then its only a tiny amount.    … Expand

That is unfortunately not the case in this game. The amount of grenade spam in this game makes the devs at Treyarch blush. If this was the only downfall to the game it could be forgiven, but unfortunately that is not the case.

    I tried really hard to love this game, and waited before making a final judgment. I love Star Wars and wanted a good modern FPS in that universe. Here is why I have lost all interest in the game after a week:

    - Aforementioned grenade spam. Star Wars ground battles should be about exchanging blaster fire, not raining explosive death on your enemies. Grenades are on short cooldowns, rather than having a limited supply.
    - Ship combat is a race to see who can get a lock first. Then not only are the missiles auto-aiming, but the blaster cannons as well. It seems nearly impossible to break a locked missile, even with shields and boost. The Milennium Falcon hero ship is completely unimpressive to fly. Also the Rebels win almost every Fighter Squadron match.
    - There are no space battles, which seems odd for a Star Wars game with ships. The large-scale ship to ship battles in the movies happen in space, but not here. Also, each side currently only has 2 playable fighters each, and they are nearly identical in gameplay. There are also no capital ships.
    - Fighter Squadron has no progressive objectives. Just blow up transports and fighters.
    - It has less features than the 10 year old Battlefield 2 and Battlefront 2. There are no classes and no secondary weapons. You can get cards that give you auto-aiming shots, various types of grenades, and a sniper rifle with a large cool-down. Other cards have class names, but their abilities don't make large noticeable differences. You never feel like a bounty hunter, medic, scout or mechanic and certainly have no skill tree for customizing your play style or even fixed skills that change your experience.
    - If you paid for the Deluxe Edition you get a gun that seemingly one shot kills anyone. You can eventually unlock it after 40-50 hours of gameplay, but you most likely won't want to play that long.
    - Hit detection is ridiculous. You will shoot someone 10x only to watch them turn around and one shot you with the same gun.
    - Spawns make no sense. You will land right on top of an AT-ST or grenade. There are no clearly defined battle lines.
    - There is no server browser so you are at the mercy of the match-making.
    - If you can't tell based on the reviews, let me break it to you: population is already abysmal. If you are not playing during US EST times, don't plan on playing anything, but Walker Assault and Supremacy if you are lucky.
    - The servers don't auto-balance teams, so once you finally do join a match, if you are on the losing side you are stuck there.
    - Most of the game modes are various control point type games. There is also CTF and King of the Hill with heroes. There are no grand scale maps where you perform various sets of objectives to complete a mission. Just control points or blow up AT-ATs.
    - There are only 6 heroes to choose from if you get lucky enough to find the token.

    Hopefully, they spend some time trying to make this better, because just like NFL football, EA got a 10 year contract on this franchise. This isn't Madden though, and most people won't be back if they don't make it right.    … Expand

    Battlefield 3 - Paid $60, played 457 hours = $0.13 per hour.

    If you want to see the graphics which are the best/only part of the game make sure you buy it from somewhere that provides a refund. Most expensive game I have brought on this logic.

    I really want to love this game. Visually it is immersive and stunning; the initial moments of gameplay are utterly incredible.

    And then, slowly, it starts to get annoying. My own annoyances in no particular order:
    - You basically get one gun... with lots of skins. The trade-off is usually power/recharge/distance, but the weapons are all otherwise identical. Some of the old weapons from the Jedi Knight series would have been nice: bowcasters that shot bouncing rounds or even a railgun. Anything that added some variety in weapon choices.
    - The teams are wildly unbalance 80% of the time. On Walker maps you'll know which side will win within 3-5 minutes of playing. This is often just due to the map. On Endor the rebels will always win. They basically have to stop playing to lose that map.
    - There is zero coordination on teams. This is not entirely the games fault but some design decision really contribute to this: Team voice chat would really help, but the bizarre spawn points and multiple objectives always mean that there's little to no coordination on objectives.    … Expand

    Let Me Simply Lay It Out Right Away!

    This is not a bad game nor is it a masterpiece. If you are on here because you don't know if it's worth a buy or not, keep in mind that anyone rating this under 5 are clearly trolls or simply having a bad day. People will generally be complaining about gun play. That is absolutely a valid point, however if you have been on the show since the release    Let Me Simply Lay It Out Right Away!

People will generally be complaining about gun play. That is absolutely a valid point, however if you have been on the show since the release of the first Battlefront, you'd know that robust gunplay never was the main focus of the game. It has always been a very casual game, and that's how people, including myself, used to enjoy it back in the days - casual couch-gaming with the friends.

    If you want a game that resembles your old childhood-favorite, then yes - you should get this game. You will have lots of fun enjoying large scale battles, next-gen graphics and the solid sound design. However, if you're an individualistic player that enjoys taking responsibility, improving your skills and get turned on by making a clear difference for your team, then don't buy this game. You're better of killing time in CS, CoD or Rainbow Six. My tip is to treat them all differently instead of expecting them all to share the same goals and focus.    … Expand

    What is it with gaming houses ruining classic old series by naming junk after it.

    I seriously recommend EA devs and especially producers (the accountant of the show) to watch the following and understand it and not just nod

    As someone who owns this game and has played for more than a few hours, I am sad to say that there is very little longevity. Yes, it looks nice and sounds nice, and there are some nice original touches such as the hero element, but there is none of the depth of other games in this genre.

Yes, it looks nice and sounds nice, and there are some nice original touches such as the hero element, but there is none of the depth of other games in this genre.

    I mean - no campaign - come on. That would be forgiveable if the multiplayer aspect was very sophisticated, but it isn't....

    The shortage of maps (only 4 maps on large multiplayer modes) makes multiplayer get repetitive very fast.

    Perhaps the biggest problem though is the lack of depth in the area of multiplayer teamwork. You can't be part of a squad, just a partnership. And even that is broken in that you often randomly get "unpartnered" and there is no way to repartner with someone. Where are the squads? But most of all, where are the varied roles? I want to play a medic, or an engineer, and yes, sometimes even a sniper, but none of that is possible because there is only one role available here.

    Maybe they'll add some of this later, but right now it feels half finished.

    I get that they want to make it as accessible as possible, but there are ways to add depth of gameplay without scaring off newbies.

    I've only had this game a few days and already I simply am not compelled to log in and play. What's the point?    … Expand

    This game is the first game I've played in three years that was downright INFURIATING to play. I played the beta for 10-15 hours and loved it. But, the full game... Unbalanced, pathetic trash. Oh yeah, and the DLC is overpriced.

They aren't rewards for good play    This game is the first game I've played in three years that was downright INFURIATING to play. I played the beta for 10-15 hours and loved it. But, the full game... Unbalanced, pathetic trash. Oh yeah, and the DLC is overpriced.

    The "powerup" system is terribad- You only get to play as the heroes or vehicles if you're lucky enough to run into a power. They aren't rewards for good play or little pick-me-ups if you're doing bad, you can actually get to play as Boba Fett 4 times in a row and hog up the powerups. If your team has a hero active, no more hero powerups will spawn until that hero dies. Same goes for AT-AT and AT-ST vehicles. It's genuinely stupid, and led to me getting to play as a hero once every 3 games or so.

    The gunplay is the worst part of them all. If you're fighting anyone anywhere except close range, gunfights always come down to RNG. See, you don't control where your shots land. Just their general direction. If you're like me and your luck is awful, your shots WILL always miss. Skill is completely unimportant. Explosives are far too common and far too powerful. For example, ATSTs are useless because of the sheer amount of rockets available to people that take down ATSTs in 2-3 shots.

    The game is VERY unbalanced. It isn't like, say, the upcoming (and good-looking) game known as Overwatch, where you'll have access to every character and every feature right off the bat. You're stuck with no abilities and crappy guns, and almost always matched against maxed-out characters with fancy gadgets. Not just that, but the heroes themselves are unbalanced. Boba Fett is beyond overpowered, for example. His blaster does a ton of damage, and can dispatch a normal enemy in one burst provided you get a single headshot. His rocket is an instant kill, and you don't know it's coming until it hits you. There's no warning. His jetpack also has a ton of fuel, meaning jedis simply can't hit him. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Princess is weak as hell. She is the support hero, similar to Palpatine. Except, she can't stunlock infantry or kill multiple enemies at once. She gets a crappy blaster, a crappy shield and a decent ability.

    Finally, you don't get much content. A lot of the blasters feel similar, there are only 6 heroes (2 of which per playstyle, and two of which that are actually decent at combat [Han Solo and Boba Fett]) and a handful of maps.

    Number ratings since people can't always discern from my simple words:
    Graphics: 9. My computer isn't the best so I have to run it on low, but it's still good looking.
    Sound: 10.
    Gameplay: 0. Watered down Battlefield clone that's heavily RNG based.
    Replay value: -4. Every match is extremely similar.
    Loading screens: Bad/10.

    In short, I'm completely disgusted by how bad this game was. As a veteran of Battlefront 2, I think EA should've handed the game down to a better developer. The sound and visuals are beautiful, don't get me wrong, but the game itself is terrible. It feels like Battlefield 3, but inferior in every way. I'm thanking Jesus that Origin let me get a refund. Do not touch this game, period. You WILL be disappointed. I genuinely have no clue how people could like this game at all.
    Here's some cursing to vent my frustration: Battlefront is a **** **** godawful putrid excuse for a game. I hope the developers go to dev school to learn how to make a god damn game. The ****    … Expand

    was anyone truly surprised? i blame disney 1st & foremost since they gave EA the keys to the star wars kingdom. if anyone deserves to be yelled at it's them & they might actually do something about it as opposed to EA who don't care much less hear past all the money crammed in their ears by the foolish people that never played the original games or simpletons with too much money to burn.

    This game is probably one of the worst games ever released by EA.

    Star Wars Battlefront looks and sounds great, and with Battlefield-class gameplay could have ruled the multiplayer galaxy. Unfortunately, at best OK-level, Battlefront-class gameplay is much too shallow to last long. And this is THE one license, which really needs a single player campaign. [Dec 2015]
