    Star Wars Battlefront II aims to become your religion assuming you feel the only way you can find happiness is to throw money in their offertory every week until you die or they find a bigger pot to accept donations. I believe you will find your money just as well spent on the diety you were raised to praise. Let's hope EA has a better track record with minors than the clergy.

    Buggy POS. I have played mobile games with less bugs/issues than this 'AAA' garbage. Do yourself a favor and buy the switch along with super Mario odyssey, life will be better, trust me. Let us all pray that EA will burn in hell, amen.

    This game has potential, but tying micro-transactions to progression is absolutely garbage. The campaign is actually good, it's a shame that you need to put in another $100 to be competitive in multiplayer. Can't believe EA is doing this to Star Wars.

With the on-going controversy about loot boxes my expectations were low and yet the game still somehow managed to not meet them. Much has been said about the microtransactions and paid advantage/pay-to-win style monetization scheme so I will not rehash that here except for a small bit about the impact of Star Cards. I WILL say, however, that I agree with ALL of the negative feedback EA is getting and I hope this marks a turning point with regards to loot crates in games - not just THIS game but ALL games.

    For those unfamiliar with the previous DICE Battlefront game, a common complaint about the multiplayer was that certain modes were absolutely imbalanced for one side. Walker Assault on Endor, for example, was exceedingly difficult for the Rebels to win. Everything favored the Imperials and unless the Rebels had a couple ringers (or the Imperials were just plain out stupid), most of the time the Imperials could just cake walk their AT-AT's to victory. This imbalance still exists in Battlefront 2 only this time it's worse - it doesn't simply favor a side on select maps, it simply favors the defending team on EVERY map.

    Attackers have to go through hell and back to win a map while all defenders have to do is turtle up and kill 100 attacking troops. Because defenders have an easier time getting to and defending their objectives they earn Battle Points at a faster rate making their ability to defend even more lopsided by granting access to vehicles and heroes faster than attackers can earn similar perks. IF attackers manage to get past the first objective point, they get a slight troop refresh depending on performance while defenders get unlimited respawns, slightly pushed back from the objective but rarely more than 100 meters away.

    Yavin IV is a prime example of this lopsidedness in action. Assaulting Imperial Troops initially have to plant bombs on three separate turbo laser embankments. After that, they have to take two more points. After that, they have to take three data nodes. Unless the Rebel team is underpopulated or full of lone wolf idiots, it's VERY difficult to get past the first set of turbolasers. Even IF the Imperials manage to get past the first objective, their forces are usually so decimated that they start the next round with 50 or fewer kills remaining after the troop refresh.

    Another example is Kamino, where the first objective is to splice the cloners' computer system. The objective is in a large, round room where the defending team has easy access to cover all four entryways. The attacking team runs into nothing but a killing field.

    Now add in these ridiculous Star Cards. Throw a couple people with two to three epic Star Cards and they can swing the balance either way all by themselves. Get a couple defenders with a three stack of rare or two stack of epic cards and the defender imbalance is magnified ten-fold. Because they managed to pay (before EA's change of heart) or got EXTREMELY lucky with RNGsus, they can completely dominate an entire match. Not through skill, just through luck of the draw.

    Playing as attackers in this game is like running into a futile meat grinder and it's made worse with this progression system. There's no real point caring about your KDR or even looking at your stats. You'll spawn in, you'll try to stay together as a team, you'll approach an objective, and then die to a barrage of thermal grenades and trip mines.

    This is just Galactic Assault, mind, which is considered THE main multiplayer mode. I could levy many of the same criticisms towards Starfighter Assault (defenders merely have to dogfight while attackers have to go through a progressively harder list of objectives, plus, you know, Star Cards), and the smaller modes also suffer from balancing issues largely due to the randomness of the progression system.

    I dispute the notion that the gameplay itself is good because the entire game is clearly designed around these loot crates and RNG based progression. Attackers continually get the short end of the stick based on map and objective design. The game rewards time and luck, not skill or teamwork. Pay-to-win issues aside, I can't see how this game will have any longevity. It's simply not fun when you know that half the time you're already at a disadvantage and that's BEFORE the Star Cards are taken into account. It's the shooter equivalent of casual mobile games that you pick up, play a few rounds, then put down again. Or to use a food analogy, it's purely empty calories - you'll consume them, get a brief feeling of energy but suddenly realize you're still hungry for something more substantial.    … Expand

    Massively grindy. Even after the 75% reduction they offset that by making rewards in single player far less. EA doesn't give a damn about feedback from its consumers. The only reason they "temporarily" removed microtransactions is because Disney made them do it. Don't buy this game. Screw EA.

I'm still waiting for EA to apologise to the customers who bought it on day 1 to receive just 5 maps, then they had the audacity to charge for the rest of the game through a season pass.

If EA had had the decency to give away the season pass as an apology then they may have saved a few customers who would be willing to purchase Battlefront 2. Thankfully because of their poor business practice I wasn't foolish enough to fall for the nostalgic advertising that sucked me in the first time and instead suffered the slight misfortune of playing Battlefront 2 at a friends, thankfully saving me from spending money on it.

    Battlefront 2 is an even bigger let down than the 1st game and has in no way improved. The game looks pretty but it's a free to play model disguised as a AAA title. To make matters worse EA exposed them selves as the selfish frauds they are when making an insulting post claiming pay to win transaction were in the game but they made the epic hero's so hard to get to give players a sense of achievement when they finally unlocked them. It's been worked out it would take around 6000 hours to unlock all the content behind paywalls by playing the game.

    Battlefront is the epitome of everything wrong with modern gaming. They have slyly appealed a game to Starwars fans with the full intention of ripping them off.

    I'm absolutely disgusted by EA and EA DICE. It seems as if they developed this game with the sole intention of providing a product that would continue to milk our money long after it was released. Isn't this pure evil?

The entire blind loot box experience can be compared 1 to 1 with a modern day slot machine in its application of addiction creating and reinforcing psychological techniques: the flashy spectacle and visuals that entertain the player, the obfuscated odds that change without warning, the false wins, and free rolls to trigger dopamine release and continue a perpetual cycle. They can use your playing habits to analyze how frustrated they can make you before you quit and give you a bone right before you do to keep you playing; repeat for as long as possible to give more opportunities for you to spend. This is why slots are the biggest money maker in casinos, and why these greedy parasites are trying to copy them for video games.

    It's also the definition of pay to win. The supertrooper elite bundle straight up makes you the best thing on 2 legs for the foreseeable future because you've got a massive head start (especially now that micro-transactions were disabled). Gear/power based progression has zero place in a competitive multiplayer game. I don't stop playing StarCraft for 3 weeks to come back and get pwned by people who have permanently levelled up their damage or gotten abilities I don't have access to yet.

    Sorry EA, but the defence that "it's not gambling because you always get something out of a loot box" is complete horse crap because a slot machine that pays out less than you put in on every play is still gambling. If it looks like a duck, and acts like a duck, it's a duck.

    Lets also not forget that the single player campaign is hugely buggy, and unfinished. They are withholding the ending of the campaign until The Last Jedi releases to prevent spoilers... which begs the question of why they didn't just wait to release the complete game for the holidays instead.

    If we have to sacrifice Star Wars on the altar of common decency then so be it. This game needs to fail hard to send a message to the entire industry that these disgusting practices will not be permitted to continue. That's coming from a lifelong Star Wars fan that owns basically every Star Wars book ever written.

    As a family focused company, Disney needs to revoke EA's license (or at the very least the exclusivity clause) so we can see someone with actual ethics and love for the IP and its community make a game actually worth supporting.

    With the award winning 2005 Battle Front 2 being my favorite game that year i was ecstatic about the announcement for this Battle Front 2 (2017) especially after the rushed 2015 Battle Front paled in comparison to it's 2004 counter part in terms of content found in the game. The hope was with more time to develop this latest installment in the franchise could reach the volume of content presented in that original Battle Front 2 game while providing the graphical updates of 4k. Now lets open up the hood and see just what game we got.
    Graphics/Campaign -
    With the graphics and stunning attention to detail Star Wars Battlefront 2 looks like a star wars movie. Dice must again be commended for their efforts especially in the graphical department with this games look. The campaign is sadly unfinished with multiple levels missing from the overall story. All though these campaign missions will be added at a latter date it still is inexcusable to omit them at lunch with the campaign being touted a major selling point of the game. Also multiple bugs have been reported and the game will need some patches to fix these issues. The actual story with Iden Versio starts off in and interesting direction for the series with the first ever main character; Where as in previous installments it was replaying the story of the 501st storm trooper legion as their commander recounts the battles him and his men participated in across both eras. Focusing in on Iden could have provided some more emotional investment but it is instead traded for cameo's from Luke skywalker and other Star Wars characters which is welcome from a game play perspective but from a story perspective it kills the attachment we should be having with our main hero. The Short campaign leaves little time for a believable story to take form and we are left with a plain predictable affair that I simply cant invest myself in. Although the fully rendered cut scenes are also a major improvement from the original in game footage shown in the PS2 days the story does not support the gameplay and flip flop of characters that Dice has chosen to still do. Overall the campaign gets a zero out of ten from me due to it's unfinished state alone. A campaign must be finished at lunch for people who want the game for that reason; you cant ask people to buy something and then force them to wait to actually receive all of it. So if you want Battle Front 2 for it's campaign wait to buy it until it has all been completed and is ready to play. For rural individuals who buy games with campaigns because they have no internet connection this disappointingly will not be a complete experience for you.
    Multiplayer -
    Oh boy what can i say that has not all ready been said. this game is pay to win with contextual gambling elements and absurdly long unlock times for base game players unwilling to pay more money to dominate other players. Pay to win is a zero out of ten from me based on sheer principle alone. The actual Multiplayer would be fun with the inclusion of classes and a points system to unlock heros and vehicles during gameplay by rewarding "better" players instead of randomly like battlefront (2015). This is all for not as success is largely dictated by star cards and your luck with lootcrates or the amount of them you have unlocked with your real world money. These cards provided benefits to a players health, damage, ect and can turn a multiplayer encounter into a simple test of who has the best cards equipped instead of any form of actual skill. All eras are now represented with imperial, Republic, Rebels, CIS, First order, and Resistance all being playable. Ship to ship combat is also here along with other features missing in battle front (2015) bringing it more in line with the content seen in Battle Front 2 (2005). Though not as extensive with gamemodes like galactic conquest still missing, providing non multiplayer players even less reason to pick up the game.
    Final thoughts For those who do not know i rate games by awarding a possible 5 points for Campaign and possible 5 points for multiplayer for a games total possible score of 10. Pay to win is an automatic 0 for multiplayer from me based on principle alone on top of the fact it's not fun or satisfying. lootcates are always a Negative 2 points due to a implementation of random chance that is not necessary, sacrificing fun for a gaming industry business exploit. Card systems are also a negative 1 due to another factor of random chance being introduced for no reason. So Battle Front 2 get a final multiplayer score of zero out of five. An unfinished campaign is an automating zero out of five. I cannot judge something that is not there in it's entirety so i cannot recommend getting it. Dice did a decent job; EA rushed them again and forced micro transactions, lootcrates, cards and pay to win into what would have been a passable game. sadly we got a money making experiment form EA instead    … Expand

    Yet another appalling travesty from EA.

    Do not buy this game and do not support the nefarious greedy corporate practices foisted upon consumers by the likes of EA. There is NO justification for additional purchases in a AAA title and never will be.

    The game may look pretty but has serious flaws. Do not buy.

    I pre-ordered this game thinking it would be amazing. And at first it was as I played the single player portion. But then the Single player just ends and the actual ending won't be out till December. Even without the loot boxes issues (Which I stand firm that it is gambling) I found the campaign had many bugs, the end of the story as presented falls apart near the end and while the mapsI pre-ordered this game thinking it would be amazing.

Even without the loot boxes issues (Which I stand firm that it is gambling) I found the campaign had many bugs, the end of the story as presented falls apart near the end and while the maps on offer are nice compared to the last game I found them getting very dull very fast as the game devolves into a grind that is absolutely unbearable unless you willing to pay real world money to speed up the process. and a three hour cool down on arcade mode are you kidding me? I would expect, maybe even forgive most of this if this was a free to play game but at full price I cannot recommend this title. Oh and the multiplayer isn't balanced I found myself fighting against higher tier players when EA said they had fixed that. This was a lie and one of many. Shame on you EA. Shame on you. I have since refunded my purchase and will buy a better game.… Expand

    Star Wars encourages children to gamble. The game is pay to win and requires one to pay in upwards of $2000 to unlock all of the iconic Star Wars characters. If you would rather earn those characters through gameplay, one has to put in around 2000 gaming hours to accrue enough game credits to purchase them. Disney should be ashamed of hiring EA to make such an iconic franchise into a game.Star Wars encourages children to gamble.

    I just wanted a good arcade system but there's no space battles there! If you have no credits than your characters are trash. Everything you have to unlock and you cannot get more credits since there's a cool-down. It should be a free to play game and I'm angry with myself for actually buying it...

    NEEEGAAAATIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE/This isn't a game, it's an illegal gambling system that goes through enough loopholes just to slip past regulations in the U.S. This is ridiculous, and I think that a boycott is in order, and that Congress needs to investigate this matter. Games like Battlefront are literally encouraging kids (and adults) to gamble. Stay far away.

    Just don't buy it. Why? Gambling system aka Lootboxes, non cosmetic Items inside them (p2w). EA managed to f*ck this game up so much that there is nothing really good about it to say.

    Excellent online action offers hours of Stormtooper-shooting fun, but the so-so campaign stumbles, while cynical loot crates leave a sour taste. [Jan 2017, p.83]

    Star Wars Battlefront II provides a greater ambition than the previous installment. It has powerful war scenes, a brand new single player mode, and shows a much more magnificent Star Wars Universe. But just like the Jedi should be ware of the dark side of the Force, this game also meets some similar situations, such as beleaguered microtransaction elements and character growth problems. The first 10 hours of this game is full of surprises; however, the further you play this game, the more disappointed you will get.

    Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
