    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

    Everyone saying "this game is crap and don't have single player campaign!", but...when Battlefront series have a campaign in the past (at least a good one)? That's right...
    I bought this game few weeks ago and i didn't expected that this game will be so much fun!

    The game:

    Pros:
    great sound
    great graphics
    great feeling

    This game does what i want it to do as a STAR WARS FAN! This is exactly what i expected. SWBF 1 and 2 were great back in the day but i DO NOT need galactic conquest or space battles. I have survival mode and i have air combat battles. What's the problem!? Who played the originals for the single player botmatch garbage anyways? Take off the nostalgia goggles folks!

    If you want a game to play casually, in a beautifully and authentically created star wars universe, THIS IS FOR YOU. If you want hardcore and competitive multiplayer, look elsewhere. And If you want an in depth single player experience...why the hell would you get this game, they said from the beginning this was only multiplayer.

It is truly an incredible feeling to play as part of your team across the impeccably detailed maps blasting away at your opponents on foot or within a vehicle like an x-wing or AT-ST. I would pay the $100 merely for the walker assault game-mode, let alone all the others. I am a Star Wars fanboy, and I think that is who the game is targeted at. Being able to be part of Star Wars battles is really what makes it enjoyable for me, and I think the reason people are giving bad reviews is because
    a) They don't love Star Wars.
    OR
    b) They were expecting the game to be like previous versions of battlefront.

    3) Quality Quality Quality. Graphics, Sound, Design, everything is top Notch A++++ very engaging, and true/authentic to the movies

    4) No Single Player. I couldn't disagree more with this point, the point of a "campaign" is to tell a story, but here's the thing, the original SW trilogy has already been told. 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. Do yourself a favor and give this game a chance, I really enjoy it, and am almost rank 40 in MP, and it has been the most fun leveling experience of any MP shooter I've played in recent years.    … Expand

Battlefront feels much more like real battles with a mission, where everything hinges on whether you take that particular point or not.

Gamer's should be flexible to accept a game for what it is... and what it is, is an extremely polished Star Wars experience. It's incredible running around on Hoth or Endor experiencing those battles for yourself, which of course change with every multiplayer match. Those that claim no depth to this game, aren't willing to look for it. The types of blasters are all very different, with varying degrees of recoil, dmg models and range. the varying amount of cards you can select into the three hand combinations make for very different builds. For sure there needs to be in game voice chat and the partner/squad system sucks as it is right now. I pre-ordered my copy on sale for $45. I would easily spend the $60 non-sale price.

    no lag.
    no fps drops on mediocre hardware at max graphics.
    a myriad of game modes, its hard to get bored with so many options
    meta game is somewhat shallow but its unique and new so I'll let that one go
    visuals are amazing, sounds are amazing
    I recommend it

    Honestly, this game's a case of quality over quantity. As it stands, game balance is rough. As with all dice titles at launch, content is sparse without DLC; it's enough to make me wonder why EA thought to push this lean game so early in holiday season, daring to compete with bloated monsters like fallout 4 and Black Ops.

    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

    Let me start off by saying that I feel a lot of the negativity towards this game is simply people hopping on the usual band-waggon of 'this game sucks', and it's happened with Battlefront because of how popular the title is. I believe a lot of people will say something negative just to gather attention, and Battlefront is getting the brunt of it.

    I've been playing this game since the    Let me start off by saying that I feel a lot of the negativity towards this game is simply people hopping on the usual band-waggon of 'this game sucks', and it's happened with Battlefront because of how popular the title is. I believe a lot of people will say something negative just to gather attention, and Battlefront is getting the brunt of it.

    I've been playing this game since the day it launched, and I play it everyday. To sum it up, I think this is a really fun Star Wars game, and I'm so very glad that we got this over whatever else EA had planned before this was given first priority. I think Star Wars games in recent years have absolutely sucked, namely "The Force Unleashed" and that many games like it were made simply because the Star Wars label sells, so no thought was really needed to push out a money maker.

    This is not the case with Star Wars Battlefront. You can tell that this game has care put into it the second you start playing, because it's stunning. I'll go down the list of positives and negatives.

    The gun mechanics have been named 'too simple' by some, but they couldn't be more wrong. This isn't a call of duty title where if you aren't wall running then you aren't doing it right, and it's not like counter strike in the regards that you need to learn spray patterns. It's what shooters were when every title coming out was fun, it's not over-done. I think a lot of people are used to games being overfilled with features just to justify the fact that it's the ninth or tenth in the series, and they're blaming 'simplicity' on how washed out they are. To be 'fun', the guns don't need a ridiculous recoil pattern or weird animations to give the effect of recoil, which was a major issue in games like Battlefield 4.

    The graphics are absolutely stunning. I haven't heard anyone knock the graphics, and no one should be able to. I will say that I'm running the game on a Titan Black, but even if I had a lower end card I think I would be blown away. Endor in particular is like no forest I've ever played in before, it's absolutely beautiful.

    The gadgets for the most part are fun, and not unnecessary. There's one gadget that really doesn't fit, the homing missile that locks onto infantry, but other than that they all lend themselves well to the game without breaking it. I think some things need balancing, like the ion homing rocket should have its range decreased, but that's about it. I have to admit that I love using the jet pack, it's fun and handy at the same time without being too much to handle.

    The heroes are epic. Many people will complain about them being 'OP', but that's the point. If you're lucky enough to pick the hero coin up, you feel empowered like few other games make you feel, and depending on your skill you can have a lot of fun tearing up the enemy team as Luke, or blasting people left and right as Boba Fett.

    I know a lot of people dislike the 'card' and 'coin' system, but honestly I think it works well. A major pain in FPS games is when even three people on your team are camping out vehicle spawns, and don't contribute at all to the rest of the game. It's frustrating as hell, and as uncool as it is to not be able to hop in a waiting x-wing and take off, it's much better as far as game mechanics go to use the coin system. I also think all of the pickups are well thought out, and nothing is game breaking.

    Flying is pretty fun, but I think the A-wing needs a nerf. That or all the other vehicles need a buff. Seriously, the A-wing can decimate enemy vehicles while being the slipperiest craft in the sky. However, I don't spend a lot of time in the air, so I wont spend much time talking about it.

    Content has been one of the biggest points of negative talk for this game. So much so that people are ignoring the fact that there even is a game, and they give it ridiculous low scores based on this one point alone. That's dumb. Look, I get it, EA is EA and yes, they probably could have put more in. I'm also disappointed that there's no conquest mode, but I would not base the entire game's score on it, like so many people are doing. This is a point that I will agree on though, and it's that EA is a greedy company that doesn't give a **** about their gamers. I think that they could have put more planets in the game, and I think that they're charging way too much for their 'season pass'. I think the idea of the pass is BS anyways, seeing as though they could adopt the micro-transaction marketing scheme, sell cosmetics for less while making loads more money, and then could offer the maps for free. That, or offer them for dirt cheap. Counter-Strike does it, Team Fortress does it, and look at the money Valve rakes in. EA however is a company for the share-holders, by the share-holders, and will continue to publish games this way, regardless of how talented their developers (like DICE) are.

    Anyways, I'm heading back to the Battlefront, because I absolutely love this game.    … Expand

    What I don't like:

    1) Battlefront chaos. Really, the gameplay is a mess. You are getting killed from behind, from the left, from he right.

    I, however, think this game is a refreshing addition to world of online shooters. The presentation of this game is immaculate, and the graphics and sound are dead on. The game is designed to be a pick up and play game. A game to let loose. Reminds me of the days spent on N64 playing Golden Eye. Frantic fun without the headaches of being overly complex.

    The weapon choice is limited, and customization is limited to "Hands" and blaster choice - but so what? It's nice to have a game that doesn't force me to stress over an overly thought out loadout. The Cosmetic choice is also limited, but really I see no real need to be overly concerned with that in a FPS game in the Star Wars Universe.

    I will mention that, for what you get initially, the price is the biggest drawback of Battlefront. The season pass is ridiculously priced, but we are likely going to see prices trend this way. Knowing that the developer is DICE, I'm fairly confident that the DLC will be worthy of the price - and that updates should be plentiful.

    Is this game perfect? No. Is it fun? Yes. Star Wars fans and online multiplayer fans should really consider trying this one out. It isn't very deep, but in its own way, it's extremely enjoyable.

    Personally, I give it a 8/10 since I love the gameplay, atmosphere and the game modes very much. It's true it's not deep like BF4 or even COD or HALO in some ways, but I love it - It's the Star Wars game I've always wanted. I really would compare this to Goldeneye on N64 - as it is more about characters and match modes than customization. The DLC is not priced very well, I admit it. But I've spent MORE money on games that have brought me less enjoyment thus far.    … Expand

Do you rate it based on how successful it was in meeting your expectations? Do you score it on it's value to you personally considering how much you paid for it? Perhaps measure it by how innovative it is?

Do you rate it based on how successful it was in meeting your expectations? Do you score it on it's value to you personally considering how much you paid for it? Perhaps measure it by how innovative it is?

    From the perspective of how well EA Dice achieves what it set out to do with Battlefront, how can anyone say that they came up with anything but all aces? The production value of this game is staggering. This labor of love (Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy comes to mind) is an absolutely exquisite homage to everything Star Wars. There simply isn't anything that doesn't look and sound absolutely authentic. Seriously, this is stunning work by so many artists and designers. Kudos to EA Dice for their unbelievable attention to detail. 10/10 from this perspective.

    Is it perfect? No. What is? Bugs? Check. Balance Issues? Sure. Missing content? Come the #$%@ on. This is Star Wars. 7 movies worth (just for starters) of story, characters and lore. Expecting all of that to be in a single game is ludicrous. Personally, I look forward to new DLC, and will evaluate each as an optional purchase as they are made available over the course of 2016. More content to come...and certainly fixes, improvements, and enhancements too. 7/10 here.

    This is a game, like Star Wars itself, meant to be enjoyed by everyone that cares to be. From ages 8-80. Boys and girls. Moms and dads, sons and daughters. Everyone. First priority seems to have been authenticity. Second appears to have been accessibility. A tremendous effort toward making sure that anyone can pick up a controller or mouse and dive into the Star Wars universe for as long as they care to. 9/10 here.

    I, for one, am thrilled to gift this game to my kids, new to the Star Wars world. What a wonderful box of toys to roll around in for awhile.

    How does anyone give this effort less than a 5? Or a zero?

    I was disappointed with the walker battle maps. It's hard to understand what's going on and your XP earned comes to a crawl while playing these long, drawn out, heavily scripted battles. A proper Battlefield style 64 man open area map with vehicles would be a hit.

    It's definitely not perfect as there isn't enough content initially to warrant its price tag and with expensive DLC it will definitely be hard to justify buying it for someone who wants a great package for 60 bucks.

    There are two major points of criticism:

    1. Lack of content
    2. Missing depth

    1. The game offers 4 different landscapes and for each of them there are multiple maps, adapted to the different modi.
    Each of the maps feels good. I have no clear favourite and no map that I particularly dislike.
    The major movie sets are all present:
    Tatooine: Desert hills and Mos Esley Hangar
    Hoth: Different parts of the rebel base and the ice desert
    Endor: Different parts of the wood and Imperial bunkers.

    Yes, I could easily think of missing maps: Jabbas palace, cloud city, death star. To make up for this there are the sullust maps.

    2. The gameplay does not have the depth of a battlefield. But depending on your weapon, your playstyle will vary. A heavy blaster doesn't feel like a shotgun.
    Tactical advantages can be felt clearly: On many maps there are elevated positions which will offer you very good field of view.
    Flanking your enemies is often possible.

    Missing depth is not a problem to me, Missing teamplay is. No squad mechanism, no way to supply your teammates with ammo or revive them. Interaction between friendly players does not exist.

    And: Missing space combat. I actually reinstalled the old battlefront to take a look at this. The old space battles feel very similar to the new flight mode. Essentially you are flying on rails. This mode isn't fun at all but honestly: How do you expect dice to implement an engaging air combat system, if the star wars universe has no proper flight physics in its lore. Look at those ships. How are they supposed to fly ? Just avoid this gamemode, play warthunder instead.

    Lets rate it:
    10 points for audio and video. Minus 1 for missing maps, minus 2 for lacking teamplay. Plus one because honestly, I haven't had that much fun with a game in a long time. Makes 8. No substraction for space combat, that was broken to begin with.

    I am tempted to give this game 10 points just to even out the bad ratings. But please, let's stop abusing the system.
    Battlefront is a very polished and extremely fun game. It's not as big as could be and it's not as strategic as battlefield.
    But it deserves better than the 4.0 average.

    Come on people, a zero rating is basically an unplayable piece of garbage whose game disc is better served as a coaster. If you think it is a ok game give it a 5 or 6 . If it is absolutely terrible give it a 3 or 4. t isn't the best game I've ever played, but it is Star Wars and it is pretty fun while it lasts.

    Legitimate complaints that I have are how few vehicles and weapons there    Come on people, a zero rating is basically an unplayable piece of garbage whose game disc is better served as a coaster. If you think it is a ok game give it a 5 or 6 . If it is absolutely terrible give it a 3 or 4. t isn't the best game I've ever played, but it is Star Wars and it is pretty fun while it lasts.

    Legitimate complaints that I have are how few vehicles and weapons there are, as well as the "floaty" air vehicle controls. I know the Rebels don't have a lot of vehicles in the movies, but I would think they could reach into the EU and pull out a tank or something. The Empire has the AT-ST and the Rebels get... stationary turrets?

    There are 11 blasters, but they all seem to be close to medium range weapons, with an emphasis on close. I know it is Star Wars and all, but lasers having bullet time doesn't make sense to me. Having to noticeably lead shots at even a medium distance is an annoyance. It would have been nice to have close, medium and medium-long range weapons, with the long range/high power limited to star cards.

    Also, the handling for the fighters/ air speeders is just off. They're easy to fly, but in order to do anything useful in them (i.e. shoot things) it requires more skill than I've got.

    I think what would really help is if the flying sensitivity was reduced once you held down the aim button. I've got it on 20% sensitivity and while this is fine for flying it is pretty difficult to keep your aim steady. What would be really nice is to have land speeders, bombers, and fighters. Land speeders would stay much closer to the ground than they do now, bombers would have no lock-on counter-measures except aerial maneuvers and high reload time on the bombs and fighters would be adept at taking out the other two and evading lock-ons.

    For all the people saying that this wouldn't be anything special if it wasn't Star Wars, then I have to say: no crap! Any game in which the characters and setting are made generic would not be very special. That's the point. That is why it is Star Wars Battlefront and not Generic Space Marine 4000.

    As for the other complaints: Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't care that much about customizing the camo on my weapon, the color of my laser sight, or even the look of my player. If the game has solid shooting mechanics and is fun then it is a fun game.
    However, I am aware that this matters to some people and I respect that.

    One thing that I don't care for however is this idea that a game can't get a good rating unless it is loaded with maps and content. There is a difference between quality and value. For me this game is a 7.5 for QUALITY and a 5.5 for VALUE. This is why I think the whole practice of having a single number to represent the score for a game is fallacious. For a movie it is ok, since the value gap is no more than an hour or two, but for games, where the amount of content ranges from 5 hours to 200 hours this causes a problem.

    You can have a game that is the best freaking thing since sliced bread and yet it only lasts 5 hours, but it shouldn't be rated as if it sucked just because it was short. Yeah, this game only has 4 maps for walker assault and supremacy. There could have been 5 or 6. However, there are 9 other maps that you can play if you go out of your comfort zone a little and play 7 of the other 9 modes.

    I will say that the entire season pass phenomenon is troubling and I can certainly see that as being the main issue that people take with this game. For a game that is already borderline low on content (I don't count a non-existent single-player as one of the issues for this one), seeing that there are already four planned expansion packs at launch is really kind-of a punch in the mouth. What would be truly appalling would be if it was found out that the maps and features in those expansion packs are already complete or heaven forbid, already on-disc. This should have been a $30 or $40 game, not $65.However, I know that pricing a game that low at launch gives people the idea of poor quality right out of the gate, so it would have been best to have taken two of those expansion packs and folded them into the original product. I know they almost certainly had a deadline to get this released before The Force Awakens released and that has to be a large part of the issue here. Honestly I would have preferred for them to have released it after the movie with more content. At the very least EA and Disney should have provided more resources so that they could have gotten the extra content done on time.    … Expand

The Endor mission is just amazing and Hoth looks great too. 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

    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

    It looks and sounds awesome, the atmosphere is fantastic. Landscape and characters are very well detailed, you won`t find a single texture that looks worse than "photo quality". A very good thing for Star Wars fans.

    Then there`s the gameplay. It resembles call of duty to me with a little "wannabe battlefield" in terms of teamplay. The gameplay is simplified, no aiming precision drop during movement, no character classes, no vehicles on the map like in BF. You can find powerups with random content on the map and use them to get a vehicle or a hero if you`re lucky, but i`d better stick with larger maps and vehicle spawn points like in battlefield.
    However, this game has some bright spots compared to BF. There are no enemy infantry markers unlike BF. Thanks to this and the very detailed graphics, you can actually hide in landscape and play guerilla style. And this does not break game balance because once you open fire, everyone sees your laserbeams flying and can pinpoint your direction. That forces you to hide and move, not just camp a bush. That`s a good addition to BF gameplay style.

    But then there`s a huge downside to this game. Content variety. The game is very repetitive and it has very little content. There are only 11 guns for both empire and rebels (they use the same guns), except for 5 more guns available via character cards and some random powerups.
    Guns can`t be customized. Character looks can`t be customized, you can only change the head from a number of presets. Every empire player looks as a default stormtrooper forever and every rebel player looks as a "Endor assault squad" rebel. Forever. Customization cards doesnt give you many customization options as well. Mostly it`s a "select a grenade" thing plus a couple of specific options.
    The vehicle selection is poor. Unless i`m mistaken, there`s only ONE operatable heavy vehicle in the game - the AT-ST.

    This might have been a good multiplayer game, it has potential. But it lacks a lot of content. Clearly this is DLC oriented, but i fear that EA might have gone the "Destiny" road, expecting to make a very empty game and then sell lots of small packs for big money during several years. And if they do it, it`s possible that they won`t be able to deliver enough content for this game to feel "complete" or at least "big"    … Expand

    Granted this is really not a perfect game, EA syndrome as always, but it is a slice of frivolous entertainment for Star Wars fans. I feel there should be massive improvement to the control scheme....

    Star Wars Battlefront has the atmosphere of that galaxy far, far away that can satisfies anyone, Star Wars fan or not. Yet the lack of contents and gameplay depth make the game feel like the first episode of the prequels.

    I REALLY love this game. Graphics, sounds, shooting, vehicle control(only with a controller) and gameplay in general is awesome. But the game lacks content. No campaign, not much solo missions and not many online modes. Everything else is just awesome. If you had fun in walker assault during beta, you should definitely buy the game.

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

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:

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 campaign is not a big deal. 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. EA Didn't Really Finish What LucasArts Started
    I’ve loved the Star Wars Battlefront games since I was a kid but EAs version was a little disappointing. These games are based around the Star Wars Universe where you travel the galaxy and have epic battles. The first two Battlefront games were very good. In these old games there were three game modes: Campaign, Galactic Conquest, and the best game mode of them all Instant Action. In Campaign you fight in the battles from the movies in chronological order. There is the Galactic Civil War and the Clone War Era campaigns you can play through. In Galactic Conquest you and the enemy fight for different planet's using your troops and other items such as reinforcements to win the battles. Whoever captures all the planets first wins and conquers the galaxy. In the Instant Action battles you choose wherever you want to go battle and then your era and then your side and go to battle.
    In the new Battlefront many things have changed. The graphics have improved and that's a very good change. The bad changes however are that EA has completely gotten rid of the classic battlefront style. There's no Instant Action, Campaign, or Galactic Conquest. They have also gotten rid of the class selection. With the class selection you got to choose one of 6 or 7 (depending on the game) classes. There was Normal Trooper, Sniper, Engineer, a Rocket Launcher character and special classes such as Jet Trooper or Wookiee Warrior. Instead in the new game you make your own character and choose all their abilities and guns. I am very disappointed in that decision because it is unfair. You could have a character with the best gun in the game and another character with the worst gun in the same game and that's unfair to the character with the worst gun. In the new game you have to level up by killing people, killing heroes, taking command posts etc. The worse level you are the worse guns there are available. There are also only 4 maps whereas the other games had 20 give or take a few. These 20 maps were planets from all the movies and that were very unique and fun.
    The vehicle mechanics have also changed dramatically. Instead of vehicles scattered throughout the map where you can hop on even if it's your enemies tank it's little vehicle icons around the map where you get and suddenly get transported into your vehicle. I strongly dislike this change and I think they should have kept the vehicle mechanics the same because they were better than the current ones. They were easy and actually let you get in the vehicle and get out and didn't magically teleport you into a vehicle.
    Another feature that has changed is the heroes. In this game there are 4 per side (but more will be added in future dlcs). In the first game there were computer heroes based on your era. In the second game there is approximately 10 or so per side if you choose Hero Assault mode in Instant Action otherwise there is a specific hero you can be on each side depending on the map. In the second game you get your main weapon and a force power or infantry power such as grenades. In this new game there is two heroes with lightsabers Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. They can use two strike moves and dash move. The hero's without a lightsaber are Princess Leia, Han Solo, Nien Nunb, Emperor Palpatine, Boba Fett, and Greedo. They all have different moves such as Greedo's Dioxide Grenade or Leias Squad shield. These moves are very powerful and maybe just a little overpowered. I like the new hero mechanics but also miss the old ones too.
    In this game you only get to be in the Galactic Civil War Era whereas in the older games you could be in the Clone War Era. With the release of Star Wars the Force Awakens you'd think that there'd be a era for that in this game but no. I wish they would add this but they probably wont. I am looking forward to the Bespin and Death Star Dlcs which will add a lot of new things. They are going to add two heros per dlc and The Death Star and Bespin maps! Hopefully Cloud City and Bespin platforms from the old games will be part of the dlc!
    I overall think this game is good but not my favorite of the Battlefront Series. Im sad that they took out the original battlefronts style and mechanics but it makes the game a little better too. I recommended you buy this if you love Star Wars and The Battlefront Games. Have fun playing and may the force be with you!

Fortunately, we were able to return the game, but we spent plenty of time and both of us had the exact same feelings of Battlefront: it looks great, sounds great but loses its appeal within a few hours because you experience EVERYTHING this game has to offer. No unlocked weapons or tricks will change that. Even when I rolled a team by going 48-6 and my team crushing the opposition, I wasn't ever loving the experience. The best moments for me came in Endor - the best planet to play on by far because of its dense forest play that doesn't force you into paths (it's more like the Battlefield free roaming feel). Still, nothing can save this game without adding a ton of content. Sadly, the DLC is $50 for a season pass and only brings new planets and maps plus a couple weapons. What EA needs to do is add even more, but I don't see this as being a big seller because even Star Wars fans aren't wanting anything to do with it after an entire day of playing it. That's saying something.… Expand

If they just would have re-skinned the old game with new graphics it would have been better.

    The graphics and sound are top-notch though. At 1440, 60Hz the game does look incredible. Almost picture perfect but again this just proves the point, graphics aren't everything. The sound effects are amazing as well. It's like stepping inside the movie.

    The game is for all I was concerned about a multiplayer only game. There are missions which I haven't bothered with but for some reason they shrunk the player size from that of BF3 and BF4. The large square size maps are gone of the BF series as well with every game seeming to be long point to point style of rush style.

    The content included is VERY thin. So few maps, guns and variety is what is worst. The older games dwarfed this title. Sure, what is there does look really good but today for 60 bucks, that's not enough. There is no value to it. Sure, I bought BF 4 season pass but BF4 base game included so much more. This base game is so lacking, makes me think Dice was under immense pressure to release before the movies. They should have never released a game with essentially 4 big( big for this game) and there might be a few more.

    The air vehicles feel too arcade-ish. Again, they are power-ups. Not at a base like the games of old. Major failure there.

    All and all, this game feels small even when compared to the first two Battlefronts. Other than the graphics it is many steps backwards. I should have waited to buy this, maybe a half off sale it would be worth it but again, it just seems so simplistically dumbed down from the older games it might not be worth it then. I am likely being a little generous on my score but does have some good like the graphics and audio. Avoid unless you want something new for the holidays.    … Expand

    Original review:

    Being a fan of the original Star Wars trilogy so I can say that I think this game is a true Star Wars experience!

    I have played 5 hour in the beta and had fun but it was too repetitive on the same map and game mode after a while so I waited the final release to judge... now I have played 7 hour straight since the release.

    The pros:

    +The visual and the audio is the best I have seen in a multiplayer FPS and the performance is OK(50-60fps) on high settings with my AMD FX 8350 and R9 280 (and Xonar DSX ,5.1 speaker set) setup.

    +Shooting with a blaster is very satisfying , the vehicle play is fun and the card system is interesting.

    +Playing with a hero is EPIC! or Spawning as the Emperor's Bodyguard is a blast :)

    +Map Design

    +Fighter Squadron Game mode!

    This game mode is like a different game where you fight air battles on a planet surface with X-wing, Tie Fighter, A-Wing, and Tie Interceptor beside the two hero ships (Boba Fett and Han Solo). It would be perfect and Epic if there would be space battles with Capital Ships take part in and not just as visual background with more type of ships like B-wing, Tie Bomber etc. And 20v20 instead of 10v10 with bots. I hope and wish that they will improve this game mode because this game mode has a huge potential to be much better.

    The Cons:

    - Lack of "meaningful" customisation. 90% of this are different heads with different hair styles and there are only a few(2 on empire side) different model at lvl40,50.

    I hate to see a stormtrooper without a helmet....... so unrealistic and it destroys the immersion....

    -There is no weapon customisation like in other Battlefield games. ( maybe this is due to the lore)

    -The lack of the tools and map design(map with markers, party chat,etc.) to make teamplay possible with the "random" spawn locations.

    There are no squads nor tools to coordinate what to do where to go (ofc the objectives/point of interest are less than before in other battlefield titles) but at least a 4 men squad play would have been nice instead of this buddy system limited to 2 player. Everyone is like headless chickens running around the battlefield on their own. (Sometimes it feels like playing against bots spawning randomly everywhere)

    - Its not a big minus but the consumable vehicle tokens .... (I see that I think they have tried to designed the battle like it was in progression already when we jump in)

    -"Over the top" casual friendly focused on solo experience...

    I have no problem with casual games but I feel the game suffers from that everything is so streamlined that the gameplay became very flat without much depth. Maybe Dice didn't want to create a game what feels as a reskin of battlefield but instead of new interesting design or innovations to the genre they get rid of everything special about their battlefield series and created a streamline cinematic star wars experience what it becomes repetitive very fast if someone is trying to play this as a battlefield game and not as some casual game 1-2 hour a day (with the vanilla content).

    Not to mention the weapon and grenade cards with cooldown... at least the grenades should be limited or have a lot longer cooldown . :/

    -Content.

    I think there should be lot more character customisation option and not just different heads/hairstyles especially for STORM TROOPERS!

    I think the four different map type is not enough to justify the full AAA++ price tag and I am afraid that the game is planned to be built for expansion so thats why they cut out things. So I guess we will see the cool customisation options added for extra in hand with the different maps and maybe game modes. If you like to play just 1-2 game mode than you are stuck with the same few map. I hope that there is a lot of cool things in Dice's pockets hidden (because of "financial" reasons forced by EA) and there will be much more depth when they will finally pull these things out and add it to the game as expansions that supposed to be in he base game in the first place. It would be disusting to see the same game sold as battlefront 2 , 3, 4 for full price with some new feature added when this game could be much more. All in all I think the game is great if you plan to play it casually and its obviously not meant to be played HC but we will have to pay a lot of money for all the DLC and wait a year if we want to get the "full game".    … Expand

    This game's Battlefield, with characters doing Star Wars cosplaying. The engine's same but at another "world"....to spend a lot of time killing imperial soldiers you can try, and would like it. This game's so boring sometimes, but when hero icon appears the emotion begins...
    Nice game, not too much

    Let me start by saying that Star Wars Battlefront is a visually impressive game and it runs absolutely great on PC. It is fun in both mulitiplayer and co-op. HOWEVER, this game is a let down for everybody who was expecting a similar experience as the original games. I was quite shocked by how little Battlefront stays true to the original concept. The game feels more like Battlefield thanLet me start by saying that Star Wars Battlefront is a visually impressive game and it runs absolutely great on PC. It is fun in both mulitiplayer and co-op. HOWEVER, this game is a let down for everybody who was expecting a similar experience as the original games. I was quite shocked by how little Battlefront stays true to the original concept. 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

    Now, Take out that, and you have a crappy game.

    The gamemodes are all the sames, expect Walker Assault and Firefight which are a bit different, all the other are classics
    "capture that" or "kill that". The gameplay become boring very fast, it's like the level 0 of a skillbased FPS (which is not bad,
    but it's kinda boring...). They cut EVERYTHING from what an old battlefront II fan wanted.

    No vehicles (expect AT/T TB/T)
    No Campaign (only stupid survival missions vs waves...)
    No Galactic Conquest
    No other race than stormtroopers/Rebel.
    No space Battle, only over planets.
    Some few map (4 big map cut in many pieces)
    And let's not talk about Jedi vs Sith battles which are completely brainless...
    The customisation is dumb xD They didn't event made something great, you have the face of actual IG character (leila/luke/Han) and some hairstyle. Even that is bad and made fast...

    I would PAY MILIONS for a battlefront II Remastered edition, but this game is just crap.
    Take out Star Wars and it doesn't reach 3/10.

    Now I'm sure that after 10 DLC, the game will be good, and most of this lack of content will be fullfieled, but I won't be part of it.
    I have played enough with the EA access (that I bought for this reason, test crappy EA games (expect sports games) and not buy them), and I won't buy this crap.

    Beautifully rendered Star Wars experience! That's the best thing I can say about the game, it captures the Star Wars world wonderfully. Unfortunately, this euphoric initial impression is quickly overcome by clunky gameplay, small maps, and run and gun style of gameplay that feels horribly unbalanced.

    The game is not bad, by any means. However if you play a lot of shooters, this one is frustrating at best. Hit detection since BETA has gone down the toilet. Bombs, grenades, orbitals, rockets, homing shots, thermal imploders, the list goes on. Explosives is the main form of death you'll suffer in this grenade and explosive simulator 2015.

    Im going to take a bit of a different approach on my review. I didnt play ANY of the prior Battlefront games and I mostly play Single player FPS campaigns or WoW. There was a ton of hype around this and I grew up playing star wars in the arcade. I figured i'd give this a shot for nostalgia, mostly knowing that an online FPS mostly isnt for me.

    I love the graphics, and I like that there's a leveling system, but leveling up equipment and characters doesnt get you much. No better armor, as others said the weapons arent much different, etc.

    I've played the game quite a bit. My character is level 32 and the next "wow" feature I get (at level 40) is the ability to change my character picture to one of the preset ones. Thats probably 30 hours of play time to get there. There's basically no reward/leveling system.

    My largest issue with the game is that there's no intelligent placement of people into games/teams. Teams can be VERY unbalanced and remain that way round after round. At 50, my response time is nowhere near the younger players. I have great hardware, but im not as fast as I used to be and I dont have as much time to play any more. I should be getting put into a class of players that arent as good so the playing field is a little more even yet encourages us all to improve. There appears to be no logic in the system for placing people.

    Im still playing it as I spent the $60 but it wont last long as there's little point and often little joy in it given the mechanics.    … Expand

    First of all this is a game for star wars fans, and it capture the feel of the movies really well.
    When we come to game play it is not bad at all. The controls are good but some people say that it is too simple, but for me as a casual fps player I find them pretty satisfying.
    But the game BIG FAIL is the lack of SINGLE PLAYER mode which is really important for a star wars game.

    A perfect game for short sessions. It’s not deep enough to convince online shooters veterans, but it will definitely win over Star Wars fans. [01/2016, p.34]

    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]

    Any semblance of subtlety is abandoned entirely when it comes to the playable Hero and Villain characters. [Jan 2016, p.110]
