Theyre already talking about multiple sequels when this game isnt even finished, no server browser, only 48 players max, no clone wars, like 9 maps. ARE YOU SERIOUS. This is like a $20-$30 game.

    EA has relatively large QA testing teams, I'm sure they were thinking the same exact thing as all these players giving reviews as they played this game. It's on EA for not listening to the tester's opinion on what makes the game bland and disappointing... I'm sure even most of the devs knew it was going to be disappointing at some point before the game came out, but at EA the devs are only allowed to do what the investors and non-gamer heads of development dictate.

    Huge disappointment with this game. I created a metacritic account just to give this game a poor review.

Nothing correlates between the first two games and this one outside of the name they share. No Galactic Conquest, No Instant Action, No amazing bot modes, No CloneHuge disappointment with this game. I created a metacritic account just to give this game a poor review. To begin, forget everything you loved and knew about the first two games in the series because EA and DICE sure did. Nothing correlates between the first two games and this one outside of the name they share. No Galactic Conquest, No Instant Action, No amazing bot modes, No Clone Wars era, No Space Battles, No balanced hit boxes, No fun really.

    Oh yea, and if you love single player, you're out of luck. You will be given only 2 game modes (3 if you want to count the survival wave-based mode). Unfortunately, both of these two game modes suck. Additionally, there is no campaign (which isn't terrible to me since many people loved Battlefront 2 and didn't even realize it had a campaign). However, if you want to play any game mode that is worth a damn, you'll have to try online multiplayer, which I believe ultimately destroys the game over time as many people wont be playing in 10+ years or the servers will be down.

    As far as the multiplayer goes, if you're a casual gamer you probably wont have much fun here. You die in about 3-5 hits, which is average for most FPS games these days. If you are new to the game, you are at a huge disadvantage since players who have played longer have accumulated better equipment. Additionally, game modes last either way too long or way too short. In Hero's Vs. Villains you are stuck playing the same hero or villain for half of the rounds. The other half you play as a grunt. Which is stupid. I want to play as a Hero as the game advertises for the full time, not half the time. Stupid. Playing as a grunt almost all but guarantees you're not going to have a good time fighting these OP classical heroes and villains. And these rounds only last one minute.

    I could go on and on about ways this game has missed the mark. So instead of doing that, I will list the positives.

    1. Graphics are great
    2. Sound is great
    3. Tutorial Mode is ok
    4. Offline splitscreen capabilities in those two **** modes.

    Unfortunately this is where the list of pros stops. All EA had to do to guarantee success is take the old game and update the graphics. How do you screw that up? Oh, by pretending they didn't exist. Great job EA. Refund please

This type of empty soulless game breeds players who just mindlessly hold down their left mouse button and try to look at the person they're aiming at better than the enemy is aiming at them. Not to mention we don't even have an end game talk to engage the other team, just a few quick seconds of GG before the game blatantly starts showing flashy numbers and RANK UP to make you feel like you accomplished something.

    Then we have the heroes which are just as bad. Empty under-powered characters that just feel like super soldiers. Luke Skywalker also for whatever reason will dash attack forward for certain enemies like the probe and completely miss.

    There's 4 maps and while they look pretty they are repetitive as hell. Not to mention just how wonky the animation looks for when Rebels fail on one map where the escape ship needs to leave. It looks like a balloon is popping.

    *Explosives- Far too many, even a perk that allows you to spam 3 grenades at once, like 1 wasnt already bad enough.
    *DLC on pre order. Typically EA have induced DLC that will be required to continue playing the game.
    *No single player campaign.
    *Its that bad that 90% of the time i cant even find a game in my own country and end up in Japan..

    Summary-
    Another horrible version of Battlefield, where skill is rarely rewarded. Dignity is scarce and people will use any horrible over powered weapon to succeed. Like most FPS games these days.

    Avoid at all costs unless you're a Battlefield fan boy.
    If you're smart, never buy another EA game until they change their ways.

    - Bumping into team mates trying to 3-Stooges through a door-way
    - Lasers are the same color for both teams, leaving you clueless on the direction of the line of combat

    This is an amazing Star Wars, game; but an objectively terrible game. It has all these details, tiny and small that a star wars fan like myself will absolutely gush over: The fade wipe from the movies greats you on re-spawn, the sounds and insane visual fidelity make it feel like you're in one of the classic original trilogies yourself. When they make star wars episode 8 they should tell JJ Abrams to make it inside this game.

    But all that insane attention to detail and gorgeous visuals means your senses are constantly assaulted and distracted. Agency is taken away from the player at every turn. This is, in some parts, on purpose. You're meant to move forward en masse using metal storm tactics to crush your opposition. The individual soldier is worthless mostly. This makes sense, from the perspectives of the movies and that a galactic sized military would be more than willing to throw Vader-fist-fulls of soldiers into the grinder. It's awesome. However it's also terrible as gameplay design.

    You can only really move forward, your side-to-side and backwards mobility is terrible, so when you find yourself outgunned turning around a corner, you're already dead. It's intended to force you to stay with team mates. But when every player immediately equips the jetpack asap to further muddle the already blurred line of combat, you find yourself constantly surrounded with no way of keeping aware of what's going on around you.

    Punishing players for separating from the group is fine in a multiplayer, but only if you are also rewarded for staying with the team. The game does nothing to this effect. Being near teammates means that you're constantly confused by laser fire that's the same color as the enemies. Meaning that when some moron on your team behind you shoots you in the butt for no reason, you have to turn to see if you're really being fired upon, meaning the second you turn around you get shot from the front where you should have been looking.

    Not that keeping your eyes forward does ANYTHING to help your survival chances. I haven't seen this many grenades in a shooter since the early halo days. And with the ridiculous alignment toward graphical fidelity over useful visual cues it's impossible to be fully aware of what's going on even 10 feet in front of you. Shadows and bright light effects mean you're blinded while leaving or entering any building, and with all the explosions and dust effects you'll NEVER see the enemy in time to fire. Sure, kills happen, but never on purpose it feels. Not to mention when you're aiming down the sights of your pulse rifle card to snipe someone, some idiot on your team throws a grenade in your face putting your vision in a blender of brilliant, beautiful effects, but the second you might regain your sight, you're dead again.

    The slow projectile speeds, while matching the movies, makes you an ineffectual marksman at best. And when you can barely perceive the enemy through graphical clutter and detail as it is, it doesn't help that---dammit a jetpack guy got me again!!!!

    Do not play if you like shooters. Play if you love star wars, just don't expect to have a very rewarding experience from the gameplay.

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.

    Well the graphics and most of the sound are good, but then they should be shouldn't they considering all the material for them came from the Lucasfilm archives. Saying that, some of the new music is uninspiring and the voice acting, especially, the 'heroes', is laughable at best.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

    Gets extremely boring, real quickly. Know that I am not a Battlefront 2 fanatic / fanboy nor Battlefield enthusiast. Although I played both games to a huge extent.

    This is not a good game and definitely never worth its full retail price. It bothers me, that we live in a time where this has become the norm to release unfinished and bugged games. SWBF3 had some mind-boggling release
    Gets extremely boring, real quickly. Know that I am not a Battlefront 2 fanatic / fanboy nor Battlefield enthusiast. Although I played both games to a huge extent.

    This is not a good game and definitely never worth its full retail price.
    It bothers me, that we live in a time where this has become the norm to release unfinished and bugged games. SWBF3 had some mind-boggling release bugs.

    I have gotten the game on PC where the first bugs were gamebreaking; low framerate in menus and in inbetween map loadings as well as a glitch that caused the sound to either become an ear killing scratchy noise or often you would just have no more sound at all after playing 2 games, just the ingame music would be heard every now and then which is absolutely irritating since the stunning audio makes this game what it is. This was fixed approx. 2 weeks after the game's release by a graphics drivers update.

    A short list of cons:

    o Match making is broken and does not match you with anyone even though there are thousands of players online at any given time.
    I hate to be that guy to bring up the server browser idea, I don't say that this game necessarily needs it, but after I read that community manager aruged that the reason for not getting a server browser would be because they have implemented a _new_ groundbreaking future proof SKILL BASED match making system that will serve you sufficently. Well, it's true, as Western European I very rarely had trouble finding a match but there were times where I could not find a single lobby, even in the most prominent game types. Zero players. With luck I had two or three people join on a creating lobby, but with having to wait for 29 more players, you might be able to imagine how long they stuck around. Admittedly, this occured in early morning hours. But I ask: Why does this damned matchmaking not simply put me in a US Server match with east coast players or something ? I for my part could not complain about a 130ms latency when playing, at least I get to play the game. I checked a stat tracker -> swbfstats.com to be sure that there are at least 3,000 - 6,000 people online and playing. After 15-30 minutes of unsuccessful game searching I decided to connect to a canadian VPN and voilà instantaneously found a full lobby. The best thing is, there wasn't any noticeable lag for my part, the gameplay was just as fluent as always. I am asking, why can this messed up matchmaking not simply put me in a game further away when it cannot find a populated server within a 8,000km radius of me ? In my opinion, having to use a VPN to find a match is absolutely embarrasing and disgusting. Great implementation of an intelligent match-making system. Bravo!

    o Confusing menu design
    I want to tie on this issue because it is related to match-making problems. With the release of the first DLC "Battle of Jakku" they indroduced a new tab in the multiplayer menu. Basically if you want to access the new DLC content and be matched with other players who have the DLC, you tick that additional option and click the new available game type to get matched. Sounds easy, right ? Unfortunately this non-idiot proof implementation split the playerbase completely. It is confusing because, once you decide to play a vanilla game type and leave that option checked you will find yourself not being able to find a full lobby, maybe 2-3 other people who made the same `mistake´as yourself. And this happened with a _free_ DLC release that everyone should be having access to. Basically the community was split in half. I suppose it's going to be disasterous with the release of the other DLC which cost money.

    o Hero controls clunky and stiff , many skills cannot be cast while jumping, you cannot combo your skills as light saber hero, duels are crap, you often get stunlocked and your skills become disabled at times, which makes you just stand still and getting sliced up.

    o Walking / pathing in this game is pretty horrendous. Be it a hill, a tree root or a small rock, you get stuck everytime on every possible small obstacle, so get used to repeatedly jump over every little rise you see.

    o Some maps, especially in the Walker Assault game type are a little unbalanced.

    o Air vehicle: A-Wing BUGGED since release date. You cannot hit the AWings hitbox with normal shots which makes the Rebel team win 90% of all matches in the dog-fight only game type.

    o Gun variety boring. The best gun is unlocked from the beginning, the experimental fun with the others doesn't last long.

    o First DLC lacks content. New gametype boring after a couple of rounds. If I had to pay for this, I'd be pissed.

    o No auto balance mid-game, no team switch opportunity. Enjoy your 8v3 matches

    o No communication means, objectives are not labeled with a letter.

    It would be an okay game for 20 or 30 bucks, not more. I don't see how this game would survive in the long run.

    For a good game, wait 1-2 more years until it has been fixed by content & bugfix patches.

    So. Nach jetzt ganzen 37 Stunden Spiel und ca. 4 Stunden Spielspaß meine ich mir eine relativ gute Meinung bilden zu können. Ich muss dann auch leider sagen das dieses Spiel meine Erwartungen in keinster Weise erfüllt. Es ist ungefähr so wie wenn du zu Weihnachten ein Geschenk findest, schön verpackt und auch groß und am Ende sind's nur socken... schön... du kannst sie wohl gebrauchenSo. Nach jetzt ganzen 37 Stunden Spiel und ca. 4 Stunden Spielspaß meine ich mir eine relativ gute Meinung bilden zu können. Ich muss dann auch leider sagen das dieses Spiel meine Erwartungen in keinster Weise erfüllt. Es ist ungefähr so wie wenn du zu Weihnachten ein Geschenk findest, schön verpackt und auch groß und am Ende sind's nur socken... schön... du kannst sie wohl gebrauchen aber... MÄH. So ist es mit SWB. Es sieht gut aus bietet aber sehr wenig Inhalt. Das einzige was DICE geschafft hat ist die Spielwelt nachzustellen (was sie auch klasse gemacht haben) aber sie haben viele Punkte dafür hängen lassen:

    Die Story: (Nicht vorhanden)
    Das Franchise ist Star Wars und der Publisher EA... sagt alles. Wenn's in SWB keine Story gibt (Schade aber wahr) wird es das in anderen spielen zu genüge geben. Und zweifelsohne nachher noch ein DLC oder eine Erweiterung zum vollpreis für SWB.

    Abwechslung: (Minimum an Karten)
    Es gibt für die ersten 10 Spielstunden genug aber dann ist die Luft auch raus man weiß wo man hin muss wie man die Gegner am effektivsten bekämpft und die runde am schnellsten gewinnt. Das die Maps gut aussehen ist da auf allen Karten bis auf Endo ein Plus, auf dem Mond scheint es mir immer so dass ich nicht der einzige bin der nur dumm durch die Büsche irrt und verzweifelt nach dem Gegner sucht der laut Karte direkt neben dir steht.

    Vielfalt: (Die Waffen spielen sich entweder recht gleich oder sind nutzlos)
    Jede Waffe spielt sich nur mit minimalen unterschieden zu den anderen aus der selben Kategorie.
    Beispiel: Auf 2 Metern oder auf 20 macht keinen Unterschied für die Waffen wenn man sein crosshair über einen Gegner bewegen kann wird man ihn auch ohne Anstrengung töten können... die Waffen verziehen kaum, der schaden über Reichweite beträgt oft ca. 100% des Waffenschadens und das bei fast jeder Waffe. Die Pistolen ausgenommen die aber immer noch auch auf lange Distanz einen Haufen an Schaden verursachen.

    Match Making: (Es kann bis zu 5min dauern bis man ein Match gefunden hat)
    Es kommt auch häufig vor das du wenn du 5min ein Spiel gesucht hast in einer neuen oder fast leeren Lobby landest. Da wäre ein Browser hilfreich welcher aber leider nicht vorhanden ist...

    Auto Team Balance: (Nicht vorhanden)
    Besonders in dem Spielmodus "Helden gegen Schurken" in dem die 3 Helden jeder Seite gegeneinander kämpfen konnte ich das Phänomen beobachten dass
    mein Team nicht nur mehrere runden zu Null gewinnt sondern Mehrere Matches zu Null gewinnt und das Gegnerteam teilweise auf 2-4 Spieler zusammenschrumpft. Am Ende stehen in meinem Team dann 4 Spieler und im anderen 2 und die neuen Spieler kommen dann in mein Team(das fast volle).

    Spawns: (Es kommt immer noch oft vor das man vor Gegnern, in Granaten oder unter AT-ST's spawnt)
    Es war schon ein heftiger Kritikpunkt in der Beta welcher mit dem Release des Spiels ausgemerzt sein sollte.. SOLLTE. Einige Beispiele die mir bisher wiederfahren sind: Ich bin ein einem Thermaldetonator gespawnt, Ich bin vor einem AT-AT/AT-ST gespawnt, hinter den feindlichen Linien zwischen Unmengen an Gegnern, nachdem ich ein Helden Pickup's bekommen habe bin ich vor 2 Gefechtstürmen und 15 Gegnern gelandet und war direkt nach der spawn Animation Tod. Und dass mit Abstand beschissenste: Ich bin WÄHREND der spawn Animation vom AT-ST zerstört worden ohne etwas dagegen machen zu können.
    ...

    Der einzige positive Aspekt an dem Spiel ist halt dass es ohne Frage super aussieht aber es ist halt noch weniger als ein Casual Spiel und noch anspruchsloser als COD... und dass als Vollpreis AAA Titel.
    Streckenweise macht es auch Spaß aber auch nur wenn man nicht zu oft stirb und das ist auch der knackpunkt, die Tode die man bekommt fühlen sich halt viel zu oft so an als ob man sie Garnicht verdient hat... mag es durch eine Granate sein die dir durch die Wand schaden macht (for real wer baut sowas in ein spielt?!) oder der Zielschuss welcher nichts mehr ist als: du springst hoch drückst rechtsklick linksklick und schießt eine Rakete ab welche in 70% der Fälle ein kill ist...
    Das ist es dann halt auch. Der einzige Grund das ich es in dem Spiel so lange ausgehalten hab ist schlichtweg das ich ein recht guter Spieler bin und seltener in den Genuss dieser unfairen Tode gekommen bin.
    Es gab auch tagen an denen es Spaß gemacht hat... aber ohne jeden Zweifel gab es dann auch immer Leuten denen es Spaß im Minusbereich bereitet hat von einem AT-AT einem AT-ST oder einem Helden direkt nach dem spawnen auseinander genommen zu werden.
    Lange rede Kurzer Sinn: Eine Solide 3 wegen der guten Grafik und der gut nachgestellten Schauplätze aber sicher nicht wegen einem guten Spiel , großem spielspaß oder wiederspielwert.

They have also cut down on most of the game modes, and number of Hero characters you can play (Luke, Leia, Han, Vader, etc.) In stead we have a generic Shooter with relativity small map sizes, Similar to a Call of Duty game, with a shiny Star Wars paint job to attract fans. The little single player they offer is lack luster and has 0 replayability. They have taken out most of the loved game modes from the previous two battlefront games. Including the much loved galactic conquest mode. They have also Left the clone wars out, instead focusing only on the Rebellion and Empire. All in all this is a Horrid Reboot that has about as much content as a Expensive bit of DLC. A better purchase, even with the servers offline, is the other two battlefront games. You would still be getting more for your money with those.

    Game looks nice, but it doesn't have a lot of content. After a while it gets boring. Spaceship wars are only in DLCs. + Now the game is dead, there is only few players.

    Stunning graphics, empty shooter, boring gameplay.
    Either that game was rushed or someone needs to be fired. I'm astonished by how empty Battlefront is. I bought it hoping for a successor to the original Battlefront serie, needless to say I was disappointed.

    I'm just happy that Disney didn't leave the exclusivity of Star Wars to EA anymore.

    I have never seen as laggy internet gaming experience as this one in past 10 years. Since broadband widely spread across our homes, we almost forgot about internet lags. Star Wars Battlefront will remind you what dial-up internet felt like.

    However, that's where the enjoyment stops. They've basically turned Battlefront into Call of Duty with this release with no ammo management and respawning "power ups". Vehicles are completely random, so no way to control the battle. Random spawns instead of tactical spawns. You can spawn on a randomly assigned or grouped up buddy (pre game), but no squads. No combat lines, everything is blurred. Get ready for some spawn kills. Games aren't balanced to put levels close to each other; so you might spawn in front of someone with high level at starting levels and so on.

    Not a lot of fun once you get past how pretty it looks. Controls are all over the place and not well tuned for PC gamers. You have to spend a lot of time trying to make sure the controls respond correctly to your mouse sensitivity or you might be moving so quick in a vehicle that you can't really do anything productive.

    Hate to rate this so low, but its just not a good entertaining game past the first 15 minutes of play. The solo missions are pretty shallow. The multiplayer is a COD fest.

    If you like COD, you might like this game. I stopped playing COD a very long time ago because I didn't like the style. Too bad I can't get a refund on this game.

    A beautiful yet ultimately very shallow game. Yes it gets the Star Wars look and sound just about perfect. However once you get over the "Wow Star Wars!" factor there isn't much game there.

    If it had been released 5 years ago it might have been up to standard but Battlefront goes out of its way to abandon most of the innovations made in the FPS genre since BF2. Mostly this is a run an gun game with almost no regard for incorporating game physics or interaction with the environment. Additionally, the weapons don't vary enough to actually allow for any player specialization.If it had been released 5 years ago it might have been up to standard but Battlefront goes out of its way to abandon most of the innovations made in the FPS genre since BF2.

    That ends with constant connections to servers where your ping is not the best, and you have nothing to do about it (you can't even see your ping on scores screen).

    But, worst thing in whole game are bowcaster and DL-44 weapons. First you play up to level 25 and 32 only to unlock this because without them you are helpless.
    After 20 hours and unlocking this game become stupid battlefield where EVERYBODY use only those 2 weapons.

    Those 2 weapons are so much overpowered that using anything else make you sitting duck.
    In combination with enemy respawning behind your back all the time game become pointless.

    ADVICE: If you forget all of this and get the game do not play "blast". It's loaded with bowcaster noobs and game is no fun. Play something with tactics included like "cargo" or "drop zone" where game start to become playable.

    With some tweaks this game could easy be score 8!

    This game feels more like Call of Duty: Star Wars than a battlefront game. If you've played CoD now imagine all the guns shoot lasers and they added vehicles, you'll pretty much know what this game entails.

    Spawn points are awful, I've lost track of how many times I've spawned being shot. Maps are designed to funnel players into awful chokepoints leaving large swaths of maps unexplored. It's like they wanted us all to take 2 types of grenades and just sling them into tiny corridors all day.

    Looking forward to playing Boba Fett? Not this match as there is no timer on heroes so one person can camp at the back of the map and snipe people with Boba all match long. I've seen dozens of games with Boba's going all game and scoring 50-2 or better.

    If this was a Beta game, I would give it 10/10. And it feels like a Beta. Unbalanced and with little content. The game feels 1/4 finished. And we should expect more. Even CoD launches with more maps than this game and twice the weapons and customizations. But seeing as it's a "finished" product I give it 1/4 of the score, or a 2.5 rounded down.

    What a joke. EA ruins another game franchise.

    Sorry in advance but this review is going to be really blunt and I'm not going to sugar coat anything.

    This game is a pure and utter zergfest. Expect to get raped over and over by people with all the unlocks and super weapons (like the one you can get instantly if you fork over for the Digital Deluxe edition), grenade spam and by people playing as the heroes. And the spawn killing.

    And the spawn killing. My god. Spawn. Die. Spawn, two steps, die. People have learned the spawn points and know exactly where to camp to kill you as soon as you spawn. WTF? Whoever designed the spawn system for this game deserves to be flogged with a length of CAT-5 cable and dipped into iodine.

    I give it a 2/10 for graphics and sound. Everything else about this game SUCKS. Most of the game modes aren't worth playing and are dead. Walker assault is pretty much the only game mode that people seem to bother with. Also, it feels like few people are playing the game anymore because you seem to run into the same people over and over if you can force yourself to play a few games without punching the monitor.

    This game is EASILY the worst money I've ever spent on a video game, except maybe Evolve or the founder pack for ArcheAge (TRION is actually worse than EA, but it's damn close). It is not even worth half of the sticker price and the DLC should be free as an apology for shipping a half-finished game.

    Barely a month after release and EA is selling it for 33% off in their store. Yeah. Even they know it sucks.

    Warning: Do NOT buy this game from anyone other than EA directly via Origin or you will not be covered by their "Great Games" return policy and will not be able to get a refund.

    To me this was a game that I was greatly anticipating and very eager to play. I participated in open beta and was willing to forgive bugs and black screen issues on my wife's pc because it was a beta.

    This is the official release, and many of the bugs are still there. Primarily the black screen. The game is unplayable as all that comes up is a black screen. I was able to play mine maxed out on my rig no issues or frame rate drops. It even runs fine on my old Alienware mx14xr1 (about a 3.5yr old laptop).

    The flight system is horrible, the vehicle system abysmal. For starters there is no joystick support at all what so ever, you can use an xbox controller, but this gives it a cheap port feeling. Like they didn't give a care for the PC. Then secondly the spawning in vehicles is cheap un-inmersive, and feels like a half finished game. One would be expecting to be able to go to a hangar and jump in your fighter and roll out. But none of that happens. U just spawn up in the air already in flight, only to crash to the ground shortly after from the horrible controls. This also ruins the game as well because the battle field as epic as they wanted it to seem it is hard for it to look awesome as you see tie fighters, a wings, and x wings raining down on the battle field not from being shot down but from pilots not being able to control them and just slamming to the deck.

    The partner system is also disappointing and seems limiting not to mention for a battle field game the maps feel small and confined and very few players. some maps 12v12 and max is 20v20 this also seems as a limitation because of consoles. This is in no way epic and perhaps the reason for the spawn in vehicle system to make the battle field seem more crowded. This should have truly been made for the pc and watered down for the console peasants. I am hugely disappointed and have walked away from this tittle.

    Again I praise origin over their refund policy as it is amazing letting us walk away from shoddy developers.
    Steam has tried, but falls short on this as I feel their return policy is inferior.

    I hope they fix this tittle but as it stands this tittle has no hope.

    Pros:
    - good visuals
    - fast paced action
    - laser battles are amazing
    - feels like you are in a star wars movie

    cons
    - flying is lame and boring
    - spawns are horrible
    - map feels confined and small.
    - Black screen on start up that won't let my wife even play the game
    - partner system seems limiting
    - no joystic support for flying
    - power ups, weapons, and vehicles are icons like a retro arcade video game

    Hope this helps those of you that are on the fence.

    The game is pathetic and not happy with it. I guess the developer and games are getting too shallow

The audio puts you right in the fantastic universe of star wars and it actually feels like you are there. The guys who designed all of the textures on that game deserve a medal. It looks fantastic. It is SO beautiful that I literally cried a bit. Just that kept me happy for about 20 minutes. And then it raped me. It raped me so hard that I cried again. My manly tears where not even manly anymore. I was crying like a little girl.

    And here is why battlefront is evil. Star Wars Battlefront by EA OFFERS NOTHING. And the moment i realised that I dived into a gameplay that offered nothing I was shocked. I'm not gonna go through everything that was bad cause it makes me feel very uncomfortable to talk about how badly I was raped, but I'll give you one thing that annoyed me a lot (apart from the price).

    One of the most annoying parts for me was the token system. I had to run around, kill dudes, in order to get some coins that I will later use to upgrade my dude(?). This is not nintendo. I am not Super Mario. I DON'T NEED F4CK1NG COINS M8! I AM NOT SONIC! I DON'T **** ABOUT TRYING TO COLLECT AS MANY COINS AS I CAN! MY BROTHER COLLECTS COINS! AS A HOBBY! IT'S NOT FUN! EVEN IN SONIC AND SUPER MARIO THAT THING IS OPTIONAL! WTF WHERE YOU GAME DEVS THINKING?

    Best thing is the graphics and the general feel of the world.

    game sucks

    Also, too much money m8. I am not made out of gold and the majority of EAs customers are teenagers. What are they trying to pay with all the money they request for this game? I bet these guys are building an army somewhere in their underground facilities that will eventually take over the world.

OK to watch someone play on Youtube for a bit, but when you actually play this game, you get surprised by just how...impressively...boring it is. I honestly haven't seen a game like this before - where so much obvious time and effort has been spent on visuals and sound design, and so very little has been spent on making an actul fun playing experience. I just have no analog to describe it with. Still, 2/10 for great graphics and sound design, any dev who worked on this should be proud of their work.

    The game designers should probably consider alternate employment.

    The character customization is a cheap tactic. The heads are just copied between rebel and empire. There is only 3 full body armor customization selections for Empire. You get maybe 50 human heads and 3 aliens on Rebels. You get 50 human heads and 3 different stormtroopers on Empire. I would have loved more variants of the Stormtrooper armor. Not just heads used from the Rebel side.

    There is not chat window when you are dead. This is hurts you if you want to share information while dead. A sign that this game was made for console first.

    Flight controls do not work that well with KB & M setup. It really feels like it was built ground up for a controller.

    It’s fun, really fun. Maybe just because it’s Star Wars? Maybe.
    This game is really well optimized considering the quality of textures and amount of actions at the same time. Really good job DICE!
    Loading times are reasonable. I thought this was going to be a problem but it wasn’t.
    Game works like a charm and is glitch-free.

    CONS: Cons come into place when you start being demanding on a AAA dev.
    The game is a little too casual to my standards. Maybe it is meant to be played by everyone. If that was the case, they could have implemented a competitive mode to add recoil, stand still to aim better, stamina cost, grenade quantity limits, etc., to make the game more difficult and less chaotic.
    Yes, chaotic. The main problem i find is that you die randomly from grenades thrown everywhere or even terrible spawn points. These need a fix ASAP. I died countless times because i spawned infront of enemies.
    Some turrets need to be nerfed down a little, these are way too OP and can get you killed with just one shot. Maybe they could be slow to move or have less rate of fire.
    Maybe it’s because i didn’t spend too many hours playing but some maps are quite confusing. Endor for example is awesome but i feel like sometimes i spawn in random places and as soon as i realize where to go, the control point is lost. A mini map could be included and spawn points must be fixed.
    Dogfights are satisfying but i feel that there are too many enemy fighters and ground infantry that get you locked at the same. Controls are just awful. Seriously, who steers with right stick?

    This game can be fixed and i hope they do it. It’s so beautiful that it would be a pity not to do it.
    If you are a huge SW fan, buy it. If not that much and you are an FPS lover then doesn’t buy it. It’s too casual and it doesn’t offer a really big challenge to be honest.

    All Swagger, No Substance.

    Very pretty game, but lacks almost everything that would make it a Star Wars Battlefront 3. 4 maps, no space battles, no player progression.

    -Huge lack of content, must have 20% or less of what battlefront 2 had 10 years ago.... 160$ CAD for the ultimate edition. Wtf.
    -Gameplay may be fun the first few hours, but get really reptitive. DICE tried to make the game uber casuals so your uncle could get some kill too, that's why there are so many easy one shot weapon in the game. Even with around 2 KDR, I still feel like 90% of the time I die was to a random **** that no amount of skill would have prevented. It's super frustrating.
    -The game itself as no depth, shooting is so simple and gets boring really fast
    -The asked price is pure robbery.

    I just hope they'll accept to refund me. Please wait for a huge deal to buy this crap.

    A game that has enjoyed a very nice graphics and sound design but which is completely hollow. Highly repetitive game modes and quickly without interest, no solo campaign. A fast food game for less demanding players.

    No single player. Horrible balance, ie like one blaster is better than any other weapon. Horse crap servers. Only a 4th of the heroes that Battlefront 2 had. Hero battle is just as bad. Huge price for a only multiple player game. $50 for a season pass when Battlefront 2 is already slated for release next year.

    PLEASE don't buy this game. The only redeeming quality is sound effects and graphics

    Star Wars Battlefront - Paid $60, played 10 hours = $6 per hour.
    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.

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.

    Graphics are great, sound is great, and sadly that is all this game brings to the table. Truly a disappointment to any fan of the original Battlefront games. Gameplay feels very shallow and there is really no content whatsoever. This is EA we're talking about though so I wasn't really surprised it turned out like this. Also $120 for the "full" game? LOL

    This game is fun at first, moreover if you love Star Wars universe... But it becomes awfully boring after few hours of running and dying. Massive battlefields, loads of teammates, 0 coordination. No easy of communicating with your team. It's a FFA-Team-Deathmatch. X-Wing/Tie Fighters fights are boring as hell.

    This game is nothing short of a complete letdown. This franchise already has 2 previous games to build upon and it learned NOTHING from their successes or failures. People were scared it would be Battlefield with a Star Wars skin and, to be honest, if it had been it would be a much better game.

    The progression system is awful. The gunplay is garbage. Get shot at long range by pistols.

    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.

    Graphics and Audio 10/10 though. Only positive thing I can say.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game pisses me off. First, because I let my nostalgia and hope, that EA would not completely screw up for ONCE in their newly licensed games.

    Second, because it is NOTHING like the original.

    I feel actually angry and a company, not DICE. DICE did what they were told, I am not mad at them. No, EA is the bad guy here.

    You take a game about capturing command posts and fighting massive battles filled with bots and with like 5-6 human players:

    And turn in into a 20 on 20 battlefield experience where the spawns are so bad you can die before you even take a step. And this is WALKER ASSAULT. It is LITERALLY A STRIPPED DOWN VERSION OF "CREATE A CLASS" FROM CALL OF DUTY, Except it is SO basic, that unless you are using the bubble shield or jetpack, there is no difference between players, except maybe those who have no life and already have the Dark Trooper, or the Alien heads.

    Where are the f*cking command posts? Y'know, the thing that made battlefront BATTLEFRONT???

    Or space battles, what about those?

    Besides walker assault, (which is the ONLY mode imo worth playing if you wanna get some hours outta this game btw) the only other "fun" mode is where everybody is in a x-wing or TIE fighter and we all duke it out. That was ridiculously fun. I enjoyed it just as much as walker assault. Both are the only modes worth playing more then once if you are getting the game for only entertainment. The other modes are your standard arena matches TDM, CTF, etc. The problem is there are other games that do it way better. *cough Black Ops 3 *cough*

    When it comes to sound design and graphics, I give it a 10/10. Honestly, the sound and textures are mostly whats keeping this failed heartwrenching slap in the face from being a 0/10. Beautiful, well done. Except on the Heroes, those voices or whatever you got for them, sucked bad.

    Now onto weapons. Yeah. Theres a real big problem here, and its really the one that knocked it down to a 3 from a 5 when I learned of it.

    Tell me this, the game has just come out, and you are a games developer.You decide on a DLC bonus for the first week, what comes to mind? Double XP? A couple sweet camos? Maybe a player skin?

    Naw, how about THE BEST F*CKING WEAPON IN THE GAME WHICH IS ALSO THE LAST UNLOCKED ONE!

    Thats right, those that pre-ordered get the DL-44 Blaster Pistol (I think thats what it is called, idk) a pistol that kills in around 3 shots at far range, and 1 shot to the head and two to the body at close to medium, and has a fast fire rate.

    That is dumb. Really dumb. That is a distinct advantage that has screwed me over everytime I play.

    Everybody is using the DL-44 blaster, those that arnt (like me) get stomped as they just point and get 1 hit kill headshots out to RIDICULOUS RANGES.

    That brings us to the Weapons part of the review.

    Yeah, theres a problem.

    The weapons all sounds, act, and feel the same.

    Balance needs to change. The pistol can outshoot the rifle at rifle ranges no sweat. And honestly, save your points for the LMG Laser gun thing, because once you get that, you are pretty much unstoppable.

    Battlefront 2 and 1 only had like 6 classes per faction, but each had two weapons and all the classes had a distinct role. All the weapons were unique,

    Final part of the review. Offline mode.

    Pfft, battlefront having a online mode? You silly fool. This is EA we're talking about.

    They have THREE offline modes.

    And one of them is a TUTORIAL.

    "Battles" is when you just collect f*cking tokens and thats about it.

    "Survival" is 15 waves against the Imperials. It shows promise at first, but would be better as a "unlimited wave" type mode. There is not much surviving if the matches end in 5 minutes. Plus you cannot even change classes without killing yourself. No command post to change, nothing. All of this is bull. EA needs to change their ways. I am SICK AND TIRED OF BELOVED FRANCHISES THAT I GREW UP WITH BEING TWISTED AND CORRUPTED. I will never EVER buy another EA product again. I gave you ONE chance, as my nostalgia and love for star wars made me want to play it, who wouldnt want to revisit fun memories? And you blew it EA. You took a valued part of my childhood, as well as years of waiting and hope for another BF game, and ripped it apart because of greed. Giving the best gun in the game to the dimwits who pre orded? What the heck is wrong with you EA? Screw you EA. I will NEVER.EVER. Buy another EA product again. I can't believe I trusted you, that you would change your ways. Using a nostalgic franchise name, and turned it into another generic Battlefield/COD FPS/Third Person Shooter with a Star wars Paintjob. You show ZERO respect to the franchise, not including ANY of the magic or game modes/mechanics that made the game great. But worst of all? You show ZERO respect to the fans. To your customers. Yall are terrible people EA. This was the last time I let you abuse my childhood for money Never buying from you again. Screw you EA.

    There are a good amount of modes to play but half of them are no popular and are now empty, leaving you with walker assault, supremacy (with only 4!! maps to play these modes) and some modes which are played in "other maps" smaller and not as enjoyable(in replayability).

    The only way to enjoy the game is playing 2 or 4 matches a week other way you feel how shallow the game is with the character progresion. It misses a lot a of things they could have added.

    Rigth now is multiplayer only 60$ and 50$ more in DLC, you decide if it is worth the money you spend, for me clearly It isnt they tried to get the casual and the hardcore gamers together , the hardcore gamers cant enjoy the game because there is nothing that requieres skill most of it is based in who saw who first, the casuals suffer from the people who spend 10$ more in the game and have the best gun so the new people are disencourage to continue.

    Apart from that there are skills which provide several bonuses for the people who can level up faster and it is clearly a mayor disadvantage to new player casual or hardcore.
    Recomendation: Read other reviews not official ones, the user ones, not the 0 or 1, the 2 or 3 which is what the game deserves now. Or go to youtube and whatch gameplays.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars Battlefront has an excellent game mechanic that is quick and exciting to play, and that is the end of the good features of this particular game. Unfortunately because the mechanic used in this rendition of battlefront is a copy pasta of its predecessor, and if copying something already done is your greatest merit you know all that remains is mediocrity. Battlefront is game that wants to be loved, but is deeply saddled with bad game design, from the surprisingly linearity of the maps to the various ability cards that simply frustrate players forcing newer players to be abused by those who have more free time. I didn't include the the lack of content in my score, but the price tag on this title was neither accurate or fair to its fans, but such is business and it not fair to judge the qualities of a game upon the business practices of their publisher.
    What to expect when you the unfortunate sap(like myself) who bought this game experiences when playing Battlefront. You will notice immediately a distinctive disadvantage the Imperials have against the rebels in Walker Assault(Arguably the peak in content). If teams are balanced (which by the way no balancing system to speak of) the rebels WILL always win. In fact when you do win as the imperials there is almost a degree of pity because it often means the rebels are doing so poorly nobody is even sticking around to play. The air battles are underwhelming, as unbalanced as the game is on the ground, in the air the A-wing/X-wing rebel combo will easily without contest wreck the fight/interceptor ties. Imperial teams will often openly joke about "getting out the ion torpedoes" because there is no other means for the imperials to challenge the sky. Oh did I say "Ion torpedoes" well fun fact the AT-ST is only useful on 1 or 2 of the few existing maps where distinctive structures provide adequate cover, and that presuming the imperials haven't already lost the sky. Their newest content Turning point suffers from much of the same qualities, however in this case its horribly favorable to the Imperials. The only remotely balanced game type is Supremacy, identical to War in World at War, and its popularity is about equal and by that I mean non existent.
    The smaller game modes are entertaining, however many sometimes feel they're like "walker assault minus features", which is evident in how long it takes to find a game in their categories. Let me say this again THERE IS NO BALANCING so games will not have any change to teams with respect to outcomes so if you're on the losing team prepare for your team to leave.
    The random power-up pick ups are an interesting new idea, however it was one taken too far. It was quite exciting to find thermal imploders, scout droids, and all the other interesting battlefield equipment in the random drops. The greatest mistake with this was applying it to the vehicles, one of the greatest shut downs for an imperial team is when their vehicle spawns move deeper and deeper into enemy lines where in some cases an AT-AT spawn may be unobtainable. Who ever thought such a thing was a good idea should have been fired.
    That's it, there is no honestly positive merit to this game that it didn't earn from its predecessor. It is sad really the repercussions will be that this may be the last battlefront, and its too bad. Such greatness laid low by such pitiful mediocrity. Also on the side note with the fairly good reviews on meta critic and other trusted gaming journals, and its deviation from a vast majority of user reviews (Which in my opinion tend to be truer) this begs to question to the legitimacy of these reviewing mediums.

Limited maps, same gameplay over and over, I played the squadron maps the most flying a tie fighter or x wing was just fun. But again only for an hour or two. If you have someone who you will play with regularly and just want a light quick game this will be your ticket. If you want to kill a few hours on your day off try something else. I returned it to EB games within 7 days thanks to my membership card. This is only the second game I've ever done this with, Destiny was the first, and they are both similar. Such a disappointment.

The promised singleplayer bot modes are missing; in their place are flimsy "challenge modes" that don't even attempt to replicate the multiplayer experience or give the player access to the full breadth of content that exists in the multiplayer.

The promised singleplayer bot modes are missing; in their place are flimsy "challenge modes" that don't even attempt to replicate the multiplayer experience or give the player access to the full breadth of content that exists in the multiplayer.

    That said, that 'content' is sorely lacking. The game has less than 10 maps, all of them fairly small, with a player cap of 40 on a server. There are no classes, there are no space battles, map layouts have little variety, dodge rolling has been removed, and the handling of equipment like ammunition, turrets or grenades is a joke. Rather than have to implement a way to restock your ammunition, DICE has just made everything unlimited with a cooldown on grenades and the like, as though the game is some kind of MMORPG.

    This game is a dumbed down, hyper-simplistic version of Battlefield with star wars skins, and on top of that feels very unfinished. Unless you are prepared to sink $50 into a game that is lacking in nearly every area other than the bare bones, I would suggest you stay away.

    This game might be okay if it wasn't so hyped. However, it simply doesn't live up to the hype that was laid out for it. It feels cheap and slapped-together for a deadline (the new film's release). This really just appears to be EA cashing in on a desire for new Battlefront games at an opportunistic time. So to the review itself:

It feels cheap and slapped-together for a deadline (the new film's release). This really just appears to be EA cashing in on a desire for new Battlefront games at an opportunistic time. So to the review itself:

    GRAPHICS:
    The graphics are beautiful. My rig can run it fine on ultra and it looks amazing. Really, it looks very good.

    SOUNDTRACK:
    Standard fare Star Wars music. Blasters firing, ricochets, and other sound effects sound great. Voice acting is pretty good.

    PLOT:
    There is no plot. There is no plot whatsoever. There is no singleplayer game really. This is intended to be a multiplayer-only experience.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Gameplay is where Battlefront falls short. It does not live up to the Star Wars: Battlefront name, nor does it live up to DICE's name. There is a "hand" system that governs the two powerups that can be used in battle. These powerups have cooldown periods, etc. There is also a third powerup that lasts for a period of time and uses up charge points which can be acquired on the battlefield. There are also special powerups that can be found on the battlefield, and are very powerful. These "hand" cards cost credits, which are pretty hard to come by. It takes a long time of playing to get good ones and then upgrade them to reduce the cooldown time. This requirement of extreme dedication leads to a huge imbalance between long-term players and newer ones.
    There are also some mechanical issues. I found that playing with both a keyboard/mouse and controller, something was not quite right with the sensitivity. Aiming blasters simply feel jittery and impossible to compensate for. It is hard to get used to, and even if you get used to it, aiming is very difficult.
    The blasters run on a similarly progressive unlock system, with the special edition DL-44 blaster being quite overpowered. This lends a somewhat pay-to-win feel to the game at times. Many of the higher-level blasters are far too powerful for lower level players to even have a chance against, and this further adds to the balance issues.
    Speaking of balance issues, the multiplayer servers are greatly flawed. Many people have had trouble with the time it takes to find matches (I have not). The servers also seem to have issues autobalancing. I have played in many matches where one team wins by a great deal many times in a row, but stays together despite this.
    The map, weapon, appearance, and vehicle variety are all very lacking. There are a few maps, which all become boring very quickly. There is no real upgrade system (and no reason to feel very proud of) new weaponry. All of the characters look the same, really. There are customisation options, but they have almost no effect on appearance overall. The vehicle system is a real shame.
    The vehicles spawn onto the battlefield as the same special floating powerups I mentioned earlier. Using the powerup allows the player to take control of a vehicle. There are few vehicles to take control of. For the rebels: the T-47 speeder, A-Wing, and X-wing. For the empire: the AT-ST, AT-AT, TIE Fighter, and TIE Interceptor. The air vehicles are all almost exactly the same. They aim for you and function on the principle that "the slower you move the more damage you do". The vehicles also have "hand" abilities that cool down and health bars like regular troops. Flying vehicles feels so awful. It's almost as if DICE remembered that Battlefront had vehicles and then added them as an afterthought. It almost feels like a minigame, rather than anything meaningful.
    While there are many more gameplay flaws, the above are some of the most glaring. It would take forever to list them all.

    OVERALL:
    I bought this game on sale for about $42 (USD), and I got it refunded, thanks to a kind Origin customer service representative. That's how disappointing it is. I can honestly say that the majority of recent Call of Duty and Battlefield games surpass Star Wars Battlefront in overall quality and value. Don't buy this game, even if it's on sale. Unless, that is, EA adds an enjoyable and playable game in the DLC ($49.99 for a season pass, folks)... Battlefront is the new cash cow.

    Good graphics and audio. The Star Wars look and feel of the games is also great however the game play is tedious and dull. As a whole, the game is no different to any other first person shooter. As to its comparison to other Battlefront games, it isn't even in the same league as them.

    Not to mention the typical EA tactic of releasing an unfinished game and offering to complete it with

    On top of that, this game has the worst play balancing I have ever seen! People work to get the power ups and then only use the top ones because they are so drastically overpowered compared to everything else. The only people that enjoy playing this are infantile 10 year olds who like killing the same guy over and over all day in a battle that you can't win.

    It is really a pity that EA has anything to do with this game. They have ruined yet another game by putting profit above gameplay. Avoid.

    As everyone says, the game is beautiful, I mean gorgeous! It runs super smooth and has a great interface. The models and map development are great, very atmospheric. That is about all I can say for this game in positive light.

    The matchmaking is horrible but once you get into a game finally you realize how shallow this game is.
    I will just list the cons:
    No teamwork-Your team just runs around in a chaotic swarm.
    No spawn staging.-You can respawn as soon as you die so you spawn alone and far from the objective.
    No attainable objectives.-The objectives are almost always a 2 minute run from your spawn location.
    No territory control/fronts.-Kill a few enemies to your front, great! They've respawned behind you.
    No team balancing.-Whichever team has the most DL-44s wins, and there is no team management.
    Broken weapons.-Whichever team has the most DL-44s wins!
    Huge lack of content for the price.-A dozen guns and handful of maps and 5 "Missions"...but emojis...Yay!
    There is no badass factor.-Never feel like you actually contributed to winning, unless you have a DL-44!

    Play Planetside 2 if you want a huge, awesome, badass Massively Multiplayer FPS. It's free!

    Brink was better than Battlefront. That's the worst insult I can think of.

    Thanks.

    Why? You can't find a game. The matching system is not subpar, its horrendous, inefficient. Its just unacceptable such a system on a game that relies so much on online matches. There is no server browser, and we PC players are stuck to a console-like auto matching that not only takes away our freedom but is also further hindered by the excessive minimum player number requirements for each map. So if you are ever matched, you'll have to wait forever because the game can't allow players to play a 12 player max map with 6 players, or even put bots so players can wait playing the actual game.

    Private matches have been added recently, but you don't earn points from them. Great, useless for those who are still leveling and getting new stuff.

    Server browser seems to be forbidden by EA for some odd reason.

    Game is also overpriced, and price doesn't justify the content AT ALL. Overall gameplay meta is oversimplified. Makes the game "cod-like", gun and run. Yes the game does offer strategic moments, but those are fews and in-between all the mindless running and gunning.

    Such a waste dev rights were given to EA. I'm sure Devs themselves worked hard, but the publisher screwed up all the potential. To be honest, If they remade battlefront 2 with updated online, I'd be way happier.

    I gave EA/DICE a chance on this one. I don't splurge 60$ for a video game often, but I loved the Battlefront games growing up, so I had to get this one.

Yes, it was. Unlike the original BattlefrontI gave EA/DICE a chance on this one. I don't splurge 60$ for a video game often, but I loved the Battlefront games growing up, so I had to get this one. Unfortunately, I don't have a PlayStation or XBox, so I had to get it for PC via Origin. After hours of downloading, I open it up, look around a little, and my first thought was "is this it?". Yes, it was. Unlike the original Battlefront games, there is little single player "instant action" type game modes. Only two, both being a team deathmatch of sorts that gets old after a couple plays. I get that the main feature of this game is its online play, so I checked that out. It took forever to load, and several disconnects from EA servers (which are terrible by the way), but I finally got in and explored the game modes. The number of maps is limited; only four planets with different maps on each one. Most of the game modes are forgettable - mostly they boil down to spawn, kill, die, repeat. I don't see any aspect of skill improvement; most of it's just luck in where you spawn and managing to shoot straight.

    The specifics are a drag as well. The guns, which vary based on rate of fire, range, and damage, are unlocked via leveling up, which is only done by playing multiplayer. Likewise, skins for your rebel or imperial character are unlocked the same way. They aren't exciting, just different faces, hair styles, and eventually species/armor changes such as Twi'leks and shadowtroopers. The season path is simply ridiculous. It's 50 more bucks and you get some average guns and more maps, making almost a pay-to-win FPS.

    A little more specifics: power ups. Instead of hopping in an X-Wing that is sitting around, you pick up a glowing power up thing, hold a button, and magically appear in the air, flying the X-Wing (just an example of the debilitation of gameplay).

    What EA has done here is sold a bare-bones game and added expensive DLC, knowing that people will buy it because of TFA hype and the necessity for further enjoyment in an otherwise dull game. I guess they put all their resources into graphics and audio and simply forgot that there's a pretty important aspect called gameplay (the graphics, to be fair, are pretty incredible, and the audio is reminiscent of a real Star Wars battle).

    I'm going to sound cliché here, but EA had beautiful references to work with, even if they were a decade old. Those games were unique, ahead of their time, and provided endless hours of fun in a variety of ways. Instead, it feels like a COD-esque game with a dash of Star Wars, with rushed fundamentals thrown together in time to hit shelves at optimal time and profit.

I've never played an FPS that was so linear like Star Wars Battlefront, you have at best 10h of content before having explored everything. But the saddest part is there is no customer support, bugs have been in the game for months now, and no patch since despite the community harassing EA and DICE for fixes. A few of those bugs are event game breaking, the "HsVV" gamemode has been broken for two months as of the day of this review. There is also a lack of attention for PC players, you can't actually choose what map or gamemode you want to play, you'll get put back into a playlist of modes that you'll have to play, the game is riddled with hackers that have been reported countless times, but EA who is responsible for actions against hackers has taken none, want a taste? Google "LordSnowNL". They are very view PC players now. If you really want to play this game, buy it on sale on consoles, and don't buy the stupid deluxe edition, it doesn't offer any exclusive content. Expand

Unfortunately, that wears off, and what you have left is gameplay that feels more akin to a phone app. Heroes vs Villains was the only mode I genuinely enjoyed, because it felt like it had some depth to it, a sort of rock paper scissors style, if you will. DLC has cut its already small player base in half by making its desperately needed content only available to people who paid out the ass for this crap.

    All EA had to do was take the greatly loved concepts of the earlier Battlefronts and slap their beautiful atmosphere on top of it, and I guarantee this review I'm writing would've been much, much higher.

They worked lines from the movie into other characters' dialogue to the point where it sounds like the people in the game saw Star Wars recently and are reciting lines to each other like an inside joke, while fighting Star Wars battles. "We've captured the point. ALL TOO EASY!" Han Solo recites lines we've heard in a dozen other games, but only heard once in the movies. The game wasn't written to fit in within the SW movies, it was assembled verbatim from them. Worse, it was assembled from the Star Wars movies we've seen a hundred times. Conveniently rushed to shelves in time to see a new one hit theaters in a few weeks, but we don't see any of that one here.

    The problem is that if you were to strip away the Star Wars theme from these battles and reskin it with pretty much anything else, the game is not good. Sure, it feels like the originals, but they're a decade old. There's no excuse for this game to be the least bit shallow in terms of content, but there it is. You're running around looking for glowing tokens like Crash Bandicoot looking for fruit.

    It comes down to people who are happy with what we were handed here, and the people who see what this could have been. It could have expanded on things like Jedi Knight or KOTOR, could have had gameplay options and freedom like the Arkham games did for Batman (tell me using the grapple hoist line Luke used to grenade the AT-AT, but free to use anywhere creatively wouldn't have been amazing) but instead we got the standard EA movie tie-in treatment.

The variety of the modes and the sheer size and depth of the maps makes you forget how little content there is to the game. The air battles lack even more in variety but are still somewhat enoyable.

    What really blew my mind tho is the fact that the game is so unbelievably unbalanced, up to the point where I consider it broken.
    In Airbattles the rebell ships (especially the A-wing) are so ridiculesly overpowerd that everytime I play
    them I end up in the Top 3 but as soon as I play the empire I have a hard time keepin my KDR above 1.
    The Landbattles are even worse tho. The Bowcaster and the DL-44 (which makes the game basically pay to win since you get the best weapon in the game from the start if you bought the more expensive deluxe version) make up for 90% of my deaths and due to the BF4 like hit feedback in the game they usually feel like 1hit kills that are almost never preventable. So either you suffer through to level 25 to make the game somewhat fair and enjoyable or you you kneel before your god that is EA and pay the extra cahs OR what I recommend: dont buy in this **** until it is fixed (which is never because **** you thats why)

    The matchmaking for PC is completely broken. DO NOT waste your cash on this game until an update is provided by the developers. Currently, their only response to the matchmaking issues is a post on the battlefront forums.
    Right now, finding a game in Asia/Pacific and South America is near-impossible. Expect a wait of up to 2 hours to fill a server on the smaller game modes, and if you find a game in Turning Point, enjoy playing the same map over and over as the new mode is unavailable on any map but Graveyard of Giants.

    DICE have killed the PC version, and future DLC through the season pass will only serve to split the dwindling player base.

    This is one of the most fun, immersive and meticulously detailed online FPS games of the year. However, in it's current state, it's window dressing for the star wars universe and nothing else.
