    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.    … Expand

    I want to like this game. It is by far the best looking Star Wars game I have ever seen and there is so much potential. I think the only reason this game has not gone the way of Titanfall is only because it is a Star Wars game. If DICE doesn't add a lot of new content soon for cheap the playerbase will move on.

    Battlefront has a very shallow progression system. After a few hours of play all the weapons are unlocked and they have no upgrades. After a few more hours all the perks and powers are unlocked with the important ones upgraded to tier 2 which is maxed out. After that the only thing to earn experience and credits for is cosmetic changes. And now everyone is a shadow trooper or alien.

    The are 11 total primary weapons. At least five there is almost no point in using because another similar weapon is better in all respects.

    The rebels have no land vehicles at all. Imperials have the AT-ST which is easily killed since anyone can carry quick locking homing anti-vehicle weapons. Heck, even the sniper rifle does significant damage to the AT-ST. I do not count speeders since they are only on Endor and its hard to impact the battle when you spend most of the time avoiding obstacles.

    There is effectively no matchmaking system. I have seen far more one-sided fights than close finishes.

    Air vehicles sometimes make a rare contribution to the fight, but often times they just fly around the battlefield avoiding those homing missiles or fighting each other.

    The game types are just pathetic. There are a bunch of modes that almost no one plays, like capture the droid/flag or control points. The only new gameplay type is Walker Assault. Imperials have to protect an AT-AT, rebels kill it. That is the only new innovative mode.

    I keep trying to play this game, but I can only do an hour or so before I want to play something else.    … Expand

    In my opinion, this game needs another year or two of development, maybe when Episode 8 releases it'll be ready for primetime...? Standard battlefield games bring more to the table at release than this pile of garbage. Buy it, play for a few hours then request your refund, that's about all it's worth.

    This game is an absolute insult to anyone who thought this game was going to be like the original battlefronts. EA has once again grabbed your cash with high valued marketing and resources in order to justify another crappy release.

    The game is beautiful in its presentation and its sound is outstanding however that is all that is all the positive remarks I will make of this "game".

    EA Battlefront is quite simply COD with lasers. There is never no coordination between team members, random deaths occur literally moments from being spawned into a map whether it be from a random grenade or air-strafing run, poor map design with people being spawned killed and no balance between the rebels and the empire.

    There is no single player to speak of, I will not be including Battlefront's "Missions, Tutorials and Horde modes' because they are not even considered value. On PC unless you sign up for "walker assault" you will not be able to join any game because there is NO ONE playing them. There are NET code issues which is keeping true to the usual EA server's which means unless your directly hooked into your modem your going to experience lag and disconnections to the servers.

    The weapons are pathetic as well as its progression system. Lasers are inaccurate and impossible to predict. The better weapons in the game are locked behind a leveling wall which means new players are going to be in for a rough time for the first 8 hours or so unless they of course quit by then. The card slots where equipment and perks is completely idiotic, 9/10 of them once again are obtained through useless grinding of levels and even then must obtain credits in order to purchase them.

    There is no balance within the game regarding the factions. Rebels get NO ground vehicles apart from a speeder on endor, the empire get a ATST which if is marched into a spawn zone will annihilate everyone within seconds. Aircraft within the game is also unbalanced. The rebels aircraft absolutely incinerate everything ground or air within seconds, the A-Wing is stupidly overpowered with a shield that regenerates faster then wolverine on meth.

    Battlefront is an insult to gaming and once again EA has delivered a very unoriginal and thought out game. Even if Battlefront was more like Battlefield 4 it would of been a better game then what it is now, clearly EA's targeted audience for this was young children sitting on the couch with their consoles because this is not a game for even your average gamer. The DLC and season pass for this game is so uninspiring and predicted as it cost almost the entire price of the base game. Sims 4 is a clear example of where EA games is heading in the next years with its overpriced DLC and outrageous practices and Battlefront is no exception.

    EA games have officially killed the sims series, killed Command and Conquer and now your just killed Star wars battlefront. Good on you ya **** wankers, hope your proud of your accomplishments. Sales of this game means nothing in comparison to how pissed off everyone is right now.    … Expand

    This game has great graphics, great classic star wars musics and apparently developers thought that was enough for an AAA star wars game. Terrible game mode designs ruin the very little content this game has.
    Here is an example: There is a game mode in which one person plays as a powerful hero/villain, and whoever kills him, becomes the next hero. One with the most kills wins. Sounds fun, right? WRONG. Whoever thought that it was a good idea to reward only the last hit on hero, should be fired and banned from the gaming industry. It takes hundreds of bullets to take down a hero, but only last one is rewarded. You could easily be the one who damaged the hero/villain most (and yes the game keeps track of who did the most damage and shows you at the end of the game) and still, you could easily be the last person on scoreboard without any hope of winning the game.

    Customization is another joke. Cosmetically, a few different faces is the only customization choice you will ever have.

    As a game developer, I respect that they implemented the core mechanics well (except for hero controls in my opinion) but there is not enough content to enjoy those mechanics. Honestly designing a few maps shouldn't take that long. They could at least make an epic story mode and it would kick ass with these graphics, sounds but that was a wasted potential.

    I doubt DLCs will give enough content of their worth if they think that this little content in the game is worth 60€.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    Very repetitive game, I was bored within half an hour but I tried to give it a chance and played for about 8 hours without having any fun. They seem to have literally picked the worst mechanics they could find, slapped on a couple Star Wars skins and made one map which switches from snow to rocks and called it a day. Most disappointing game of the year for sure, quite possibly of my life.

Not only that, but I noticed graphics were quite poor compared to the beta (edges were sharp as hell), and no tweak in the settings allowed me to improve it.

    Contentwise, the new maps underwhelmed me because of their tiny size and the number of available items is ridiculous. Lightsabre fights have never stood out in the Battlefront saga (not like in Jedi Academy at least), but it feels totally cheap and raw. It wouldn't have hurt to put some more effort into close combat.

    I finally got my refund (after getting an error for over 30 minutes at EA's website) and could not be happier. I was already considering the possibility because of how DICE and EA deal with expansion packs, where they basically annihilate the community, split it and render new content unusable.

    * Most of the game modes are for close quarters, small team combat which this game really sucks at. They are traditional FPS modes like team death match and capture the flag, but because the terrible aiming and nonexistent character classes it's just boring.

I am here instead of playing a game I looked forward too for a long time. It just isnt good enough despite some great technology and here's why.

    The engine is fantastic and personally I found it incredibly reliable with no crashes.

    The problem is, there is something about this game that feels a bit like some of the same mistakes made in hardline when it comes to game play. It lacks options and it is fundamentally NOT enjoyable. EA seem to be moving away from the open game that was BF3, BC2 and BF4 where people had a lot of customisation and gratification from on going development to a very sterile and as linear an environment as one could come up with in an FPS.

    Maps feel small in many cases and it almost a case of 2 groups of people charging at it other endlessly in silence as there is no chat of any kind. Not that you need to make a strategy here, there is very limited scope for anything but grenade spam.

    Which is just as well because the aimbotting is back with a vengeance in multiplayer. The weapons have no spread or error so aimbotting is incredibly deadly. Grenades are incredibly powerful so almost every map feels like Metro from BF4 only with more intense grenade spam.

    There is no going prone, no needed balances of classes, there are no choices to speak of and very little to differentiate you from everyone else. It feels like it doesnt want to be a game but would rather be a movie. Maps are epic looking but still they absolutely lack scope for anything tactical.

    Hero characters come and go but really, no one cares, as its a token gesture. Vehicle use is very limited and almost scripted and except for certain modes virtually non existent. Those modes being almost solely about the vehicles. Not that you can do much with them.

    There is no ping indications anywhere, so who knows and the matchmaking is not transparent and completely automatic so you have no real control.

    Some genius also decided to design all the splash screens etc with a blazing white background. Like they are trying to damage peoples eyes. So you go from creeping about in dark hangars (occasionally) to blazing white backgrounds between games. Who has so little experience that they never played games at night. This is a schoolboys error.

    I am a huge Battlefield fan so I was hoping for Battlefield in an open environment. What I got was something that feels like it was designed for consoles only. A game that should have been open and full of possibilities but someone managed to make as linear and sterile as possible. Spectacularly missed opportunity.

    I wouldn't even say its a great tech demo because the game feels so limited much of the time. I would very much like to get a refund and would not regret never playing it again.    … Expand

    This game is insulting to all gamers over the age of 6. This is by far one of the most shallow FPS I've ever played which is NOT to be expected with a AAA title like Star Wars.

Yeah, sure.

The Star Cards are little things you can use from Thermal Detonators to Jetpacks, Impact Grenades and a whole lot more. But the problem with the Star Cards is that they are direct upgrades. Starting players get nothing, now, in the beginning it's easy to unlock these things but as you progress it gets slower and more powerful. The pulse rifle, for example is unlocked fairly early on and it's a one shot kill no matter where you hit the body (Also of note: The hitboxes are terrible.)

But, the full game... Unbalanced, pathetic trash. Oh yeah, and the DLC is overpriced.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It has fewer gameplay mechanics, fewer playable characters, fewer maps, fewer everything (by far) than the previous games.

    It feels like this is just what we get now. We get super polished irresistible trailers and hype, followed by a half-assed, buggy game sold in a million pieces for a (frankly) disgusting total price. Oh, and if you'd pay up front that'd be great too thanks *rubs hands*

    Awful game and it was setup to fail intentionally.

    There's no communication, no squads, no spawn points, just spawn in and push forward.

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.    … Expand

    So the game gets 1 Point for the Star Wars Atmosphere but none for all the rest. It's shallow and doesn't make fun. I forced myself to play it a few hours but the only mode making really fun is Fighter Squadron and that only if you play the overpowered Rebels.

    + Terrific sound effects
    - 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.    … Expand

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

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

    EA delivers a below mediocre game that you get bored of after a few hours, but it looks great, but who cares? I want to have fun. and that DLC is the most stupid thing i've seen, I'm never buying another EA game ever again.

    Star Wars Battlefront (EA) is a game that lives on it name alone, it is a trick to sell it, ( if i hade another name it no one would buy it), there is no story mode, no (real) spacebattle, no campaign, repetitive game play, linear ass hell, but i have nice graphics and sound but nothing else....

    PROS: i will start by saying that this game is extremely beautiful. You feel like you are in the movie. Sounds and graphics are the **** I will only take a point for the sometimes ****ty acted voices.
    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.

    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 modes, on their surface, could be fun and immersive, but in the end, it all comes down to spay and pray. There's no tactics too be seen. The game plays more akin to Call of Duty than to any classic Battlefield game, and there are a lot of reasons I quit playing CoD. $70 wasted, and I am hugely dissapointed.    … Expand

    Let me start, I love the visuals. I love the look, and I love walker assault. Secondly let me say, the beta gave me the initial glam factor many talk about and are raving.

To that end, Dice did a phenomenal job. After you get beyond that you start noticing the problems, weapons that are little discernible from each other, not being able to spawn on an aircraft (of which flying an x wing or tie was one of my biggest excitements for the game, the simple fact is it absolutely stinks to fly. Feels too arcady). Then you start seeing that the levelling system just to get a jump back takes a good 5 or so hours (level 13) and that the character customization and hands are little benefit and just some sideway glance perk. I returned it after playing prob around 5-10 hours of the beta and 4 of the full version. Point being, it lacks all of the things I was hoping for paying $80 bucks on a game to have. The other modes are nothing but fluff with Walker assault and the 4 maps in conquest style are interesting. Still, I'll save my money and get something else and wait for the price to drop.… Expand

    Gotta love day 1 DLC, Season Pass, bugs, and also you can see the entire game in about 1 hour. Cant believe I payed for this. Well it is very pretty, and the audio is good (go DICE sound team!).

    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]
