    The epitome of greed. Sure, it looks pretty, the game play is fine, and it has the "Star Wars" name, but if you buy this game, you are continuing to send a message to EA that ridiculously over-priced and predatory microtransactions are okay for a game you already paid $60 for, and therefore should have access to most (if not all) of the content within a reasonable time-frame. I don'tThe epitome of greed. Sure, it looks pretty, the game play is fine, and it has the "Star Wars" name, but if you buy this game, you are continuing to send a message to EA that ridiculously over-priced and predatory microtransactions are okay for a game you already paid $60 for, and therefore should have access to most (if not all) of the content within a reasonable time-frame. I don't care that they've already dropped the costs associated with unlocking the most expensive characters (Vader, etc), because the root of the issue is still front and center; paying anything above $60 for the baseline content of the game is unacceptable and driven by corporate greed. It's evident that EA cares nothing for their player-base, because if they did, they wouldn't be nickel-and-diming us the way they currently are in SWBF II. To keep it PG - Shame on you, EA.

    I doubt much is going to change as a result of the backlash EA is facing because the game will still sell well. Many people (parents, aunts/uncles, whatever) buying gifts for loved ones over the holidays will be ignorant to this whole ordeal and purchase this game for sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and so on. Die-hard SW fans will make the purchase because of their love of the universe. And of course, there's always the "ride or die" EA fanboy that could care less about this controversy and would follow EA into the jaws of Hell for whatever reason. But please, as a member of the ever-increasing gaming community, I beg of you to really consider the company behind the game and the brand, because the best way to send a clear message is to refrain from opening your wallet/purse to reward such an inexcusable practice.

    Edit: I decided to purchase the game for $20 on sale after EA announced that there would be no MTX's beyond cosmetic ones and experience gained is traditional in the sense that you level up the characters you play. Overall, the game is really good! I really enjoyed the base campaign (the story, gunplay, lightsaber play, space fighting, etc). Looks great and plays great. Hoping to spend more time in MP, which is clearly where the game shines, but very happy with the fact that EA came around to what the people deserve in a AAA game. And it's important to give credit where it is due!

    Unlike the other spam of negative reviews, I will be reviewing the actual game itself, rather than just attacking a loot box system that has been in other games previously that have ALSO had season passes, yet this one gets attacked. They have actively resolved the majority of loot box issues which is nice. Anyways, here are my first impressions.

They have actively resolved the majority of loot box issues which is nice. Anyways, here are my first impressions.

    -CAMPAIGN-
    The first three missions available in the EA access trial (which is what I have currently until the game releases) are fantastic. The AI is great, the characters are believable and for once the game makes you truly dispise the rebellion. This is a new take on the theme of Star Wars and I thank Dice so much for giving us this breath of fresh air. I will update when I finish the game entirely when it comes out.
    -MULTIPLAYER-
    Dice have done a fantastic job in creating an authentic Star Wars battle experience, thanks to the refreshing return to class based combat. The vehicles also all handle well and the heroes are much more fleshed out, despite the heavily controversial unlocking process (they have addressed this, so stop complaining). The maps are all fantastic and I can’t wait to see the rest. I have currently played on Naboo, Takodana and Fondor and I can safely say that they are all fair and well detailed, thought out maps. The gunplay is once again fantastic and I thank dice once again for addressing previous issues with gunplay etc.
    -ARCADE-
    This for me feels like where the game is lacking. It needs to have the large scale battles of multiplayer in split screen, similar to the skirmish mode of the previous. It feels so tacked in with only battles against bots, with seemingly no objective. While it is still appreciated it DEFINITELY needs more attention.
    -VERDICT-
    Battlefront 2 is a fantastic reimagining of the battlefront series, and while the loot box system is still total aids, you cannot deny the amount of polish this game has, how well it plays, and how Dice have taken extra steps to resolve virtually any issue that comes up.
    I give Battlefront 2 currently an 8/10.    … Expand

    Had one of the worst launches in history, plagued with loot boxes and not nearly enough content, but then Dice managed to redeem it by remaking the whole progression system, getting rid of loot boxes, and adding a ton of free content. The graphics were always really nice and the maps look amazing but the campaign isn't really good. If you're a Star Wars fan I would recommend it.

The single player campaign isn't that great though. Iden's turn to the Rebellion was disappointing at best and rushed at worst. Aside from that though, this game is great and so much fun.

    For a ps4 game the graphics are breathtaking. The campaign was enjoyable and the multiplayer is fun with lots of modes to choose from. My issue with multiplayer though is that matchmaking is uneven. I consistently match against players around level 400-980 even though I'm under 10 with the characters. Playing people with maxed out character abilities makes it a lot harder to win the fights.

I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

    Since I wasn't jaded by from launch, I came into this game really with a neutral perspective; a star wars fan that loved the original Battlefront II and wanted to experience something like it but technically superior. Fortunately, I got just that: a technically superior Battlefront 2 with more features and things to do.

    That's not to say I don't have a few complaints (which I'll get into in a bit) but from my experience with the game, the good far outweighed the bad and I've loved playing this game in several different modes. It did take some time to adjust to slightly different controls and character-specific abilities but once I did through the main story and battle scenarios, I felt prepared enough to enjoy the general game modes.

    The story/main campaign I felt was pretty solid. I see where some criticisms come from of the story being thinly-written and skeletal in its approach. I think the criticisms of the story being terrible are not fair however. I grew to like all the characters and felt the ending was quite epic in every way. I just think Iden's character arc could've been a bit more fleshed out in the middle for her story to have a better impact. The structure for a great story was absolutely there but it ended up being just good. Better development could've made it truly great.

    My main complaints on the game had to do with a couple of performance issues that I experienced in the main story. On the Luke Skywalker mission I spawned in and fell right through the map. Didn't even do anything just fell right through into oblivion until I restarted the mission. On the royalty mission, when I eliminated the storm troppers they all started just floating around like they were in space and when you're eliminating that many troopers, it just looks hilarious seeing a hundred dead troopers just floating like balloons on Naboo. Fortunately, I never experienced anything like this again and still haven't. I've seen some frame-rate dips here and there but generally the performance is great despite those 2 awful experiences.

    Besides the couple of technical issues and the story not being as fleshed out as I wanted, I've had a lot of fun with the game and it's been exactly what I wanted. If some of these user reviewers were intellectually honest and wanted to review bomb a game to get EA to change, they would acknowledge the course correction and change their review to actually reflect the game's current quality instead of just blindly wage a hate war on EA. The game is great and deserves a lot more love now and props to DICE and EA for fixing the old mistakes and making a better game.    … Expand

These include new maps and characters to use in competitive game modes,improved UI and an expansion (of about 3 missions) to the campaign mode.All this and even more to come,including features from the original Battlefront 2 released around a decade and a half ago.The game will have finally surpassed its predecessors,2 years into its release. There are some glaring issues though: a buggy campaign with dreadful AI,redeemed partially by some fairly interesting characters and set-pieces. Most problematic of all are the predatory 'lootbox' mechanics that have since been removed but have tarnished this games reputation; this has become an expectation of games released by EA and so its up to personal perspective whether buying this game is feeding the culture of underhanded business practices in triple A games.

    My final verdict is that this games competitive game modes in both multiplayer and single-player are amazing,especially with the regular free updates but the campaign is downright broken and also there is the question of whether making a game better than its 15 year old predecessor 2 years into its lifespan is a practice you want to support.Its worth considering, that not only did this progress take 2 years but it may not have happened without people making in-game purchases at the rate they did in 2017. Had they implemented the same predatory systems but to a smaller degree, as other games do regularly, would they have still given fans all the new free content?    … Expand

    Entertaing singleplayer campaign and awesome multiplayer. They did wrong with the microtransactions but they're gone now. Hoping for BF3 but it won't happen as this game got shot down in flames at lunch.

But a lot has changed since launch, the pay to win system that came with the game at launch is gone. The only thing that you can get in the loot boxes is credits that can be used to get cosmetic items, and the star cards can only be earned by playing the game and leveling up. For me I always had faith that they could fix this game, the loot box crap was messed up but the overall gameplay and the multiplayer at launch was extremely fun and still is today. I find myself still playing it now, this game still isn't perfect but, I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun multiplayer shooter and I highly encourage anyone who already bought this game and stopped because of the pay to win system to jump back in and give it another try.… Expand

    Astounding game! Excellent music, graphics are out of this world. The combat mechanics are excellent. The campaign story is very good - however VERY short. If they've made a Witcher type game with this graphics and story - it would have been 10/10.

    I see there are lots of negatives comments - however only about multiplayer. I don't play the multiplayer so can't comment on that.

The game has beautiful graphics, nice controls, decently balanced team mechanics, and interesting objectives which keep me coming back. The ship portion of the game is fairly well done, as someone who sucks at dogfighting games I am still able to get some kills. The campaign is cool enough but short and definitely up to personal preference. I reccomend doing campaign before multiplayer as it gives a taste of everything Battlefront 2 has to offer. Hopefully we will receive characters such as Anakin, Dooku, Force Unleashed Apprentice (unlikely), or even the legendary Ki-Adi-Mundi. I feel a small amount of visual customization would add tons to the game, I assume it's taking a bit because the troopers change depending on the map. Sometimes the 20v20 games feel short, but it's usually a good thing when the battle is so fun you don't want it to end ;)

    Overall I think the unlocking system is fairly simple, easy, and cheap; I would ask for harder unlocks and more credit expensive (maybe vanity?) stuff but I can't tell about 6,373 people are allergic to difficulty in games. I've unlocked all the heroes I wanted in a fairly short time, don't feel the need to spend cash if that becomes an option.    … Expand

Things seem to be balancing out and online play is finally more enjoyable than frustrating. I have been really enjoying this game a lot lately.

    I really wish you could have a guest online though like most CoD games, with 2 players the arcade is really boring and gets old fast...we often end up playing online and swapping out every 3 deaths or so because it is just more fun than those boring time based modes for split screen.

    I really don't like that the best characters start out locked. Maybe if they could unlock as you progress in levels like other games things wouldn't seem like so much of a grind. It took a while to save up for Vader, too bad I can't get Luke for a while or even Palpatine.

    Even with the issues this game made for itself, its still a solid game. If the loot crates come back with pay to win in mind, I could see myself playing a lot less as I don't really have the spare money right now to sink into a game that I already spent $80 on for the ability to play a few days early.    … Expand

The amount of detail put in the maps is beyond anything I have ever seen, from civilians rushing to take cover, to wildlife caught in the crossfire, it is truly exceptional. Only complaint I have is the long grind required to advance.

Those are all valid complaints. But they're all fixable things. I have no doubts that EA will fix all these things and release free DLC content as they said they would. So this game does not deserve a less than 1 out of 10 rating that it currently has while I write this.

    Amazing game. Thanks EA! Ive bought 20 copies to show my support and send a message that this is the future of gaming. Most of the negative scores are from poor people who dont buy games anyway!

    Why are people hating on this quality game so much? It's one of the best games I've ever played. The loot box mechanic was handled flawlessly. Games like Overwatch really need to take note.

Why are people saying unlocking the heroes are tedious? When is playing a good game tedious? Check your privilege. Not everyone is as fortunate enough to say a great game is bad.

    Besides the fact that EA tries really hard to gain money, by letting gamers buy shortcuts for heroes, the game itself is a huge step forward in the right direction.

It looks great on PS4 Pro, has lots of different game modes in multiplayer and is finally the product we've been hardly tried to see in battlefront 1. With lots of things to do and the motivation to play a certain amount of hours to unlock heroes first - except you are a rich kid with daddy's credit card - EA created a pretty good compromise for hardcore and casual players.

    Thankfully most heroes don't cost 60k credits anymore. So far, I'm a bit impressed what EA did, after people **** a reddit thread and voted down an explanation about 'why people should be proud to earn in a game, they already paid 60$ for'. But that's no reason to give a bad score to a great product. The upcoming DLC is completely free and somehow EA still tries to make money by giving an opportunity to earn heroes faster. To me, I don't really care. I won't spend money on this one and will try to earn my heroes with ingame credits. So should everyone else. The game is great, accept it.    … Expand

    Are here any people who really playd this game?
    Well, it's really cool and entertaining, every battle (on ground or in space) looks like movie, the campaing extends sw univerce and tells us a soulful story of average soldiers.
    Those whining guys, who place "0" or "1" probably didnt play game at all. Thank you dice, motive and criterion for your good job.

    Antes de entrar a valorar el juego como tal, he de decir que llevo unas 24 horas de juego, he conseguido la mayoría de los héroes (por lo menos la mayoría de los que me interesan y con los que quiero jugar, claro), y tengo las cartas y armas que más me gustan sin haber soltado un centavo de más. Tengo las mismas ventajas y debilidades que mis contrincantes en casi cada partida que juego.Antes de entrar a valorar el juego como tal, he de decir que llevo unas 24 horas de juego, he conseguido la mayoría de los héroes (por lo menos la mayoría de los que me interesan y con los que quiero jugar, claro), y tengo las cartas y armas que más me gustan sin haber soltado un centavo de más. Tengo las mismas ventajas y debilidades que mis contrincantes en casi cada partida que juego. Considero que se ha exagerado con la crítica al sistema de progresión. Es un poco injusto y extraño, con cartas que, directamente, chetan a los personajes, pero como son totalmente aleatorias y el campo de batalla es tan frenético apenas notas diferencia con los que tienen un nivel más avanzado. Y además está confirmado que van a lanzar contenidos gratuitos cada cierto tiempo y van a mantener el juego "vivo" y actualizado.

    Y ahora hablemos del juego: Si eres fan de Star Wars, de los de tener tazas para desayunar, óleos de Vader en tu cuarto, y llamas a tu moto "Mi 74-Z Speeder", es tu juego. La ambientación es sencillamente inmejorable. Inmersivo a más no poder. Tienes la opción de retirar el HUD de la pantalla para hacerlo aún más realista, y realmente parece que estés dentro de la batalla, una locura. El sonido es espectacular (recomiendo jugar con cascos con buenos graves o con unos altavoces con un subwoofer potente) y la iluminación es mejorable (de hecho creo que la de la primera entrega le supera) pero bastante realista. Juego con un i7-7440 y una GTX960 de 4 GB y 4 GB de RAM, y con todos los parámetros en alto mantengo los 60 fps constantes a 1080. A veces si hay mucho jaleo puede bajar a 50, pero en muy contadas ocasiones y en mapas y zonas muy concretas. La optimización es un 10. El sistema de naves y de batallas espaciales se queda un poco corto con respecto a su predecesor de 2005 pero la jugabilidad y el manejo es realmente satisfactorio y muy frenético. Cuesta un poco acostumbrarse, pero en cuanto te adaptas todo es coser y cantar. El modo de primera persona en las batallas de naves es abrumador y te sientes realmente un piloto imperial (o de la facción que toque). Jugablemente hay disponibles 4 clases básicas + 2 especiales + héroes. Las básicas son en ambos bandos, eras y mapas, totalmente idénticas (cambia la estética, naturalmente), y cada cual se siente diferente y con un rol bastante diferenciado en el campo de batalla. Además puedes acompañar las clases con cartas estelares para cambiar las habilidades principales (ponerte una granada de iones en vez de una explosiva, o un escudo deflector en lugar de un sonar) para adaptar a tu forma de jugar cada personaje. Conforme vas consiguiendo puntos de batalla en la partida, bien sea capturando bases, cumpliendo objetivos, o eliminando enemigos, puedes "comprar" unidades especiales para manejarlas y aumentar tu daño o tu movilidad. O invertirlas en los diferentes vehículos y héroes.

    En definitiva. Si eres fan de Star Wars vas a disfrutar como un enano hasta cuando no paren de matarte una y otra vez, porque está todo conseguidísimo y muy bien hecho, hasta el más mínimo detalle. Además, como shooter (independientemente de la ambientación galáctica) cumple bastante bien, y es muy variado y entretenido de jugar.
    Como punto imperdonable y negativo diré que NO HAY DROIDEKAS.    … Expand

    I am sick and tired of the hate people have been giving this game and only down voting because of the micro transactions. The game itself is actually a damn good game. Audio/Visually again top notch, wonderful gameplay and a darn sight better than SWBF1 was (which also was a good game IMO). There is loads of free content and the SP is good fun to play.

There is loads of free content and the SP is good fun to play.

    As far as progression goes.... it's not as bad as people would have you believe. You really don't need to buy crates since all the good stuff (heroes and weapons) need to be unlocked by playing the game. The advantage gained through loot crates is not that big and if you are even a half descent player you will not need them in order to win.
    You should be able to unlock one hero during one evening (aprox. 3 to 4 hours) of play.
    Some of the Hut Contracts in SWBF1 took as much time to complete.

    The reward for playing a game is rather low (220 credits for a round of Blast) and would be nicer if the reward was linked to the players performance.
    But then again.... a round of blast is usually over in a couple of minutes.
    Add to that the extra credits you get from completing challenges and you will see that the progression system is not to bad at all.
    Not to mention that all the DLC will be free, a bucket load of which will be released in December along with the new movie (including another story line for SP).
    Me thinks this game is a good deal.

    Haters, haters everywhere! Here is an honest review.

    Pros: - Great gameplay, including graphics and sounds! - For the most part well balanced - The class system is great, there are four well thought through classes. - Got to mention the starfighter multiplayer, so much fun! - Most of the heroes feel great, and not overpowering. (Though they should be contained to their era.) - The    Haters, haters everywhere! Here is an honest review.

    Pros:
    - Great gameplay, including graphics and sounds!
    - For the most part well balanced
    - The class system is great, there are four well thought through classes.
    - Got to mention the starfighter multiplayer, so much fun!
    - Most of the heroes feel great, and not overpowering. (Though they should be contained to their era.)
    - The in-play reward system is a lot better than Battlefront 1's. You earn points for actions and use them to spawn as tougher units and heroes.

    Cons:
    - Even though well balanced, playing as a starfighter in normal MP battles gives to many points.
    - Loot boxes are too expensive. Should be lowered to around half.
    - Should get some crafting material for matches or dailies.
    - Campaign story was boring. (It was worth playing through, it contained some good moments.)

    All in all, a great game that I would recommend. All the cons can be fixed on a patch, except the campaign.
    Furthermore, the game is finished. There will come dlcs with more content like every other multiplayer game. This is to give us more replayability throughout the game. It is a good way to make it interesting. I have played for 15 hours btw, and I have all the heroes I want and a lot of cards on the units I use.
    Have a good day.    … Expand

    The game is a solid well put together piece of art. Graphically you can tell how much time and effort was put into the detail (especially in 4K). The campaign that was finally added was a lot shorter than I anticipated (completable in about 4 hours) however, the story that was playable had so much important content revolving the main cannon storyline that it was worth being short.

The campaign that was finally added was a lot shorter than I anticipated (completable in about 4 hours) however, the story that was playable had so much important content revolving the main cannon storyline that it was worth being short. Also, the game was geared to be multiplayer anyway and not to take away from online but I was even more happy that the arcade mode provided a base reason for those without internet connection to still be able to play. In addition to solo, arcade mode also utilizes couch co-op/versus to allow you and your friends to gather and play as a team or free for all and in different types of battles as well. One of the biggest complaints I am seeing is about credit drops and though they don't drop that often you still get enough to buy characters and/or loot crates you just have to be smart when making decisions. If anyone is going to complain about people spending money to buy crates, credits, hero's or whatever purchasable then buy some yourself and if you dont feel like it or don't feel like putting in the work then my suggestion is dont play any online game ever because it is not just EA or BF2 that makes (mods, if you will) content available for those willing to spend money (THAT IS HOW COMPANIES MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE MORE GAMES!). Please just play the game for what it is because graphically the game is phenomenal, the campaign was so well written it ties in answers to the films, the offline arcade mode adds to the fun of playing with friends for those who don't want to spend money and then the online multiplayer adds tons of more fun to the equation.… Expand

    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.
