    Unbelievable. I knew this game would have a negative response over the lootboxes, but I never thought thousands of people would give this game a 0 or 1 out of 10. I will play it, just to see what it’s like, despite the lootboxes
    However, I still hate EA. Closing down Visceral and mucking up with games like this one and FIFA.

The story mode is about 4 hours long with about 30 minutes that I actually enjoyed. Dice and EA came out and showed us how there was going to be a story and how they listened and how they should be commemorated for that. NO the first one should have had a campaign and this one should have a campaign double the length that it actually had. The story and dialogue of the campaign is extremely predictable and could have been written by a fifth grader. The MP aspect could have been fun. the foundation was laid out for this to be a fun game. But EA decided that they wanted billions of dollars so they added this terrible system for star cards. You know whats just great, I get to see every time I die how good of star cards the other person has. I will go into a fight where I clearly should have won but nope they bought the ultimate edition so I lost because of a dumb epic star card. And by the way why are people buying the ultimate edition, why are people even buying these games at all. When I hit confirm purchase I felt like I was commiting a crime. It felt like I was doing something evil by giving money to the mess that is EA. I would advise no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to ever buy this game. I will not be buying another EA game until they stop being greedy bastards.

The whole RNG loot box scenario is designed to exploit the addictive behaviour of children and people with disposable income to burn, which I would have no problem with if this was a FREE TO PLAY game, however expecting a consumer to pay £60 and then either spend hours upon hour grinding OR to drop a load of cash to get the most out of the game makes me sick to stomach.

    Do not support these practices anymore and avoid this game. It is time to take a stand against these disgusting practices.

Squads are loose, so you're never with the same people even during a match. The majority of the maps, or at least the objects, are in such a small arena style, that when you have a lot of players all smashed into one place, it's just a complete mess. Most people just throw themselves at the point hoping for the best and flooding back with respawns until the defense breaks. Almost everything revolves around that you and you alone are what's important in each battle, as opposed to promoting teamwork and squad play. There also appears to be very little anti-cheat, as I saw very blatant aimbots consistently. It's also has some bad gameplay decisions, such as the game resetting your chosen class every time you respawn, so you have to go out of your way to pick your class again or you spawn in as assault. I'd give it a 5 overall for gameplay. However, a few points lost over the requirement to continue to pay money just to progress (it's considered a requirement if you cannot earn those same rewards ingame WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. Throwing in something that takes an unrealistic and nearly unobtainable...if not obtainable at all, amount of hours to unlock just so you can claim you don't "have" to pay...still means you have to pay...don't play the "well TECHNICALLY..." game, devs We live in the real world).

    Overall, the art is great. The special unit spawn is much better in BF2 than in BF1 (no longer based on pickups). The gameplay is very bland and uninspiring. There is little to no teamwork involved...and even if you want to work as a team, you're assigned to a new squad every respawn, so there's no consistency. I've literally been in matches where your objective is to run from point a to point b with an item. With the maps how small they are, you only have to run a very small distance, and the match is over within 2 to 3 minutes. Battlefront 2 often has you asking yourself, "What was the point in that?"

    I cannot recommend.

While the overall feel isn't bad it is ultimately let down by a poor single player story mode and the one thing that has one of the greatest appeals for this genre of game! The Star Wars characters. The grind is ridiculous and unless you are willing to part with lots more cash it'll take a punishing amount of time to unlock said characters.

For a $60 game (the base game of course), you aren't just paying for the game, but to either be beaten by people that spend money on loot crates/in-game currency, or to grind for hours upon hours to earn ONE of their characters. That is unacceptable and thankfully the community is seeing this and responding to horrid business practices. Absolutely **** EA Expand

    The core mechanics of the game are decent at best and do not justify any of the garbage that EA has implemented in the game. Besides that the servers are trash so even if you were willing to look past Battle Fronts errors you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy the multiplayer experience as it would most likely be too laggy.

    An absolute travesty of loot box ridden p2w cr@p.

    A FULL PRICED game with a f2p gambling upgrade system slapped into it, literally gaming cancer that should be avoided at all costs.

    The corrupt "critic" reviewers should hang their heads in shame over giving this pos anything higher than a 3, they are letting the public down by not acknowledging what BS this is.

This game's loot boxes don't even compare to that in my opinion, but the **** AI in the campaign along with the lazy server quality makes this another No Man's Sky.

    I will not comment on the loot crate and pay to win issue as others have done that in great detail already. Suffice to say, I entirely agree with them.

    What I will comment on is the campaign which is actually what has me fired up. It is an example of completely deceitful marketing. Trailers and interviews made it seem like the campaign would depict an Imperial loyalist character.

    What I will comment on is the campaign which is actually what has me fired up. It is an example of completely deceitful marketing. Trailers and interviews made it seem like the campaign would depict an Imperial loyalist character. Star Wars has not had such a portrayal in a game since the 1990's with TIE Fighter's Maarek Stele character. Instead what do we get? We get someone who defects less than halfway through the campaign and we spend the majority of the time doing a tired repeat of the old "Imperial repents and turns Rebel". That story has been done to death in other forms in the Star Wars franchise!

    We could have had a chance to see an Imperial struggling in the wake of the Rebellion's victory and the disintegration of the Empire, and maybe we could have gained some insight into how the First Order formed. We could have had a character winning battles even though the larger war is still lost.
    We didn't need a total Imperial fanatic, acting like the stereotyped 2-dimensional villain. TIE Fighter's Maarek Stele was an Imperial loyalist but was not blind to the faults of the Empire. He just ultimately thought that for all its faults it was still better than the alternative. In more recent stuff, we have the character Rae Sloane (which is actually referenced in the campaign), but Sloane actually stays loyal even though she disagreed with the Emperor's scorched earth plan (i.e. Operation Cinder), which is pretty clearly based off Hitler's "Nero Decree". We could have had a nuanced Imperial character. Instead we get the same juvenile depictions as if no sane non-fanatical person could possibly support the Empire, and the only "good Imperial" is a defector.

    Ultimately though I am angry because we were LIED to and given a bait and switch. We were told it would be an Imperial campaign to show the Imperai POV and to have some "Imperial heroes". Instead we got a Rebel campaign, which couldn't even keep its Imperial disguise on for very long.

    Galactic Assault: Are you the attacking team? Then you're going to lose. Everything is stacked against the attackers.

    Starfighter Assault: Are you the attacking team? Then you're going to lose. While you're busy trying to play the objective, all your opponents have to do is shoot you (and AI bots) down to win.

    Blast: Oh wow, Team Deathmatch, how original. Now with people one-shotting you across the map because they have rare and epic star cards on their Specialist class snipers.

    Heroes vs. Villains: Are you on the heroes team? Then you're going to lose because every single villains has crowd control abilities that can stun lock you. Oh and preorders got not one but TWO epic Kylo Ren cards which make his crowd control abilities nearly impossible to avoid. Heroes get dashes, sprints, a melee charge, and a smoke grenade. Vader can single handedly throw an entire team off a map. BALANCE!

    Strike: Mini version of Galactic Assault with fewer players. Attackers might have a chance to win if they're not stupid but one lone wolf can ruin the game for either side.

    Then there's the loot box RNG garbage. Straight up statistical advantages per card with no downsides completely designed around forcing players to shell out their credit cards. People with auto cooling weapons, faster firing, and quicker battle point generation just stomping all over anyone who hasn't gotten decent cards. See that guy over there on your team running in circles because he put rubber bands on his controller? He's going to get as many credits as you for playing despite doing nothing for the team but wasting space. He'll earn more credits than you if he was in the match longer than you were.

    This game is prettier than 2015's Battlefront but it's just as shallow and even MORE imbalanced - which is a feat given how pathetically balanced the modes were in THAT game. Do not buy this garbage, do not reward EA with your money. I wish I had bought COD WW2 at this rate. That might be scummy as well but it's not THIS scummy.

    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.
