    It takes a village to ruin one of the considered greatest game franchises of all time(Battlefront obviously). and EA is that village

    Pro's:
    Well...The graphics, and sounds are nice.

    Cons:
    -Weapon balance is poor meaning you will die from either overpowered pistols or the E-11 or EE-3 Rifles
    -Each map may look great but has terrible direction as you will be confused where the hell everything is..especially in the large maps(Unless you play Supremacy but cmon...everyone plays blast.)
    -Terrible voice actors for heroes.
    -Utter Chaos. You will join a game with your friends as you stumble upon a giant warzone with grenades flying everywhere, explosions left and right, jump pack users flying about...who made this? Michael Bay?
    -I don't care what you say. It takes WAY Too long to level up in this game
    -Diorama mode should be renamed Diarrhea mode as it contributes to NOTHING whatsoever
    -Galactic Conquest is gone.
    -Don't even try to melee...you'll easily die.
    -The enemy radar sucks.
    -A thermal exploder is just a rip off of a bouncing betty from Call of Duty: World at War(An actual good FPS)
    -Not enough maps.
    -The spawn areas are god awful as you could either spawn on top of an enemy or somewhere in the middle of a firefight.

    If I could give this an actual score it would be: Dumb/10.

    Gotta say, this game made me wet just looking at the pre-release trailers. Then I played it...
    It's garbo, Disney has hijacked the Star Wars franchise so that they can conquer children's minds before they've developed in to something capable of actually discerning good quality from bad. Like the recent film, this is artistic equivalent of a crayoned park bench

    I found a clip online of someone going 66/1 in a game and went, Wow! That must've taken alot of skill, NOPE! First time I picked this up I was going 30 kills without a death every game, minimum, because I was killing children.
    It's just awful, if this is the way games are going, then after two decades of hardly missing a title, I might finally be putting down the controller

    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.

    This could be really fun game and best multiplayer shooter of 2015 candidate. So, where they went wrong?

    First, they implemented stupid COD-like automatic server joining and not searching like in BF's.

    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!    … Expand

    Picked it up on Origin despite the warnings. I tried. I tried really, really hard to like it. I loved BF 2.

I tried really, really hard to like it. I loved BF 2. Let's start with the easy part that everyone can agree on: The graphics are absolutely stunning. The look of the game nails Star Wars. The limited number of maps means endless repetition unless you're willing to have content held hostage behind an artificially created paywall masquerading as an optional DLC. The fact that a season pass doesn't include all of the DLC is a little shady, at best. Not a big fan of the vehicle systems, but they're passable. I'm sure space battles might be included at some point (again, meaning a critical gameplay element would be locked behind pay to play).

    All of this might be somewhat excusable (I stress the word somewhat here) if there was a meaningful singleplayer experience to allow you to break the monotony of multiplayer matchmaking, but alas, this element (for whatever reason) was left out completely, and DICE never seemed to care about players' concerns about it. When a large enough player base demands it, you'd think they'd make it a bigger focus. Alas, singleplayer is relegated to a grind for credits and points that you'll use in multiplayer, but with such limited focus on the singleplayer experience to incentivize it, becomes little more than a chore, which is a crying shame, because BF2 had an exceptional singleplayer experience. While this may not be a big deal to a lot of folks now, in five years it may be if Battlefront's popularity wanes and the multiplayer experience becomes dead in the water.

    The matchmaking system also doesn't seem to work very well; I had trouble finding games (you'd think with the game still in a relatively new state, there'd be no trouble finding a game). This was an occasional issue, but enough to frustrate me into shutting it down, since I couldn't transition into a meaningful single player experience.

    Overall, the game lacks any meaningful staying power, suffers from poor gameplay, lacks diversity in game modes, and has an extremely pricey barrier to entry. I couldn't get a refund, because I tried to stick it out, which is a crying shame, because what I do now is fire up a singleplayer game of Battlefront 2.    … Expand

    First the game could be better. It feels pretty shallow and overly simplified.
    For instance if you compare it to the Battlefield series, those games had a lot more going for them.
    More interesting weapons, vehicles, parts of the environment could be destroyed, and mainly better games that allowed some meaningful strategy, tactics, etc.
    It's getting harder and harder to find games, people must be bored with it already (less then two months after opening).

    Why I give it a negative because EA still refuses to do any sort of realistic anti-cheat control.
    Currently after playing for one or two hours I run into at least two to three obvious cheats.
    Losers that can see through walls and other obstructions, using ainbots, etc.
    Recently cheaters coded a new exploit where they can shoot super burst shots that will kill your AT-ST in a single shot.

    For EA/DICE security is an afterthought.
    If EA really wants to catch and curtail the cheating they would have a full time anti-cheat team of their own instead of some off the shelf easily beat 3rd party system.
    They could do real time server monitoring, and have a serious client side effort that could catch cheaters within an hour or two.

    ALL of EA/DICE games have the same problem, but they choose to ignore it and pretend it doesn't happen instead.

    I skipped most EA/DICE games since BC2, now I'm sorry I gave them another chance and I'm burned again.

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.    … Expand

    I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said, but yeah, its...pretty bad. Its got exactly two good things going for it, the visuals are drop dead gorgeous and the sound design is absolutely spot-on. Its too bad they forgot to actually build, you know, a *game*.

    The gameplay's horrendous and repetitive, the spawns are hilariously bad, and I think I derive more entertainment out of playing Daikatana. So yeah, its bad, but really pretty. 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.    … Expand

    I love Star Wars, and have played most of the starwars games. This one is pretty much flat and one-dimensional. It feels like bland generic high-school programming effort, with the "Star Wars" moniker attached. In a word: awful. Spend your money elsewhere.

    DO NOT LISTEN OR READ ANY OF THE NEGATIVE USER REVIEWS THEY WERE WRITTEN BY DIE HARD BATTLEFRONT 2 FANS.

    THIS GAME DOES NOT FEEL LIKE BATTLEFIELD AT ALL, IT IS A GREAT GAME.

    INSTEAD OF READING USER REVIEWS READ CRITIC REVIEWS. THIS GAME IS WORTH YOUR £40.

    It's a 10 for visuals, sound, and general Star Wars feel and a 2 for actual gameplay. After about 30 to 60 minutes, the WOW wears off and you realize is a FAR less than mediocre shooting game. Just another "also ran" for the Star Wars game franchise.

    At least it's not "Star Wars: Obi-Wan."

    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]
