    No voy a decir mucho de la campaña porque puedo llegar a expoliear a las personas, pero es muy buena tiene unas cinemáticas, graficos, historia, de 10
    Un punto a favor es que tiene digamos como dos modos historia porque tienes la normal y luego com otra parte mas enfocada para fans con la historia después de lo que sucedió en la campaña normal y es cortita así que muy bien la versión de fans...

    EA corrected their mistakes, though late. Removed all donat altogether. The game began to live, a lot of content and a lot of updates. The graphics are excellent for 2017, although it is now 2020. Unfortunately, the game is no longer supported. It is sad that Ahsoku Tano was not added to Battlefront 2, although there were hints of this.

    Amazing game! The devs worked incredibly hard to improve the game from its terrible start, and now it is now the most complete battlefront experience created! Lots of maps, nearly all important content available offline, lots of characters, heros, gamemodes, an ok campaign. A great game altogether. Wish the bugs were patched though.

    The greatest redemption story in recent video gaming memory. While EA surely does not deserve praise for how they handled micro-transactions at the beginning of this games' lifespan, DICE did a fantastic job supporting this game until EA pulled the plug.

    Sure, there are imbalances and content that could be added in the future, but the game is just wonderful in it's current state.

    2.5 years later, this game makes a huge comeback in the gaming industry. It adds new interesting game modes like Extraction and Ewok Hunt, adds new character heroes, adds new trooper factions, adds weapon fixes/balancing, and it even got rid of the controversial loot box system. But the campaign is still manure, which lowers one rating from a 10.

    So, I'll begin by making some things clear:
    This game has no lootboxes/microtransactions/pay-to-win or any other **** of this sort anymore.
    EA removed them after considerably (and more than justified) fan outcry. Some people even said Disney CEO stepped in, because this game controversies at launch wasn't helping Star Wars as a whole, specially since they were dealing with the Ep VIII    So, I'll begin by making some things clear:
    This game has no lootboxes/microtransactions/pay-to-win or any other **** of this sort anymore.
    EA removed them after considerably (and more than justified) fan outcry. Some people even said Disney CEO stepped in, because this game controversies at launch wasn't helping Star Wars as a whole, specially since they were dealing with the Ep VIII controversy as well. If it happened or not? Well I think it did, but I'll never know. Anyway, onto the review:

    After the lackluster Battlefront 2015, EA brought us this game which improved in almost every single way. Especially gameplay and content wise. We have all eras represented with a phenomenal audiovisual fidelity. New content was added for free (still weird to say that out loud lol) for more than two years. That included new maps, heroes, reinforcements, skins, game modes and more. Also, communication with the dev team improved considerably and this was crucial for this game's turn around.
    I was a fan of the original BFII and stayed away from this game for as long as I could, but I could not resist checking it out after I saw gameplay and new Clone Wars content coming to this game. They even brought the voice actors from the series to voice the characters. As a result, the game feels like a very authentic Star Wars experience well worth the Star Wars name. Sound design, graphics and presentation all give that Star Wars feeling that we always wanted the new movies to have. Heck, even the sequel trilogy looks good on this game. Playing as the Sith Trooper is awesome!

    Now, this still isn't a perfect game, so let's talk about the flaws:
    This is mainly a multiplayer game, so don't expect too much from single player content. The campaign is very iffy, with a weak and predictable plot. It has its moments, but it never achieves anything great. There's also Arcade and Instant Action, which are nice but some maps that are available on multiplayer matches aren't available offline for some dumb reason.
    Some multiplayer modes are lacking too. As an example, the last update, that included the Original Trilogy maps to Supremacy (think Conquest mode from the old BFII, but with capital ships added), does not include the capital ships and that limits gameplay for this era, making it inferior to Clone Wars and Sequel eras.
    Also, bugs. Oh God, there is a lot of bugs. Matchmaking sometimes go completely goes awry, force abilities can sometimes make your character shake like crazy and some heroes are almost outright broken. During the content seasons the developers constantly introduced new bugs, broke heroes and made unnecessary buffs/nerfs to troopers and reinforcements. Now that the game is not updated anymore, we have Grievous and Darth Vader as killing machines, Anakin with an ability thats basically a suicide button and Chewbacca just... unusable in almost every game mode. Other heroes are fine, tho.

    This game is discounted most of the time, so it won't even be a big of an investment. Oh, by the way, if you like to unlock skins and cosmetics by your own, stick with the regular edition. EA recently launched a Celebration Edition, but the only difference is that it has all the skins unlocked by default.

    So, that is it. Don't let the controversy this game had at launch cloud your judgement. If you are a fan of Star Wars, this is the game you are looking for. The servers are very active and you will find fun matches all the time, even with all the flaws.    … Expand

    This game don't deserve so much hate. There is so much content in this game. The game was fixed and improved, but the rating remained the same, which is very sad. Because of that, the third part will not be released soon, or maybe it won’t be released at all....

    Some missions, the enemies can be overwhelming, but if you explore the environment there are normally different ways to approach various challenges and weapons crates lying around.
    I did not encounter any mico-transactions in the campaign mode, and I don't play multiplayer games.

    I only played this on 2020 and simply LOVED IT!
    I read that the micro transactions was a huge issue in the past (and I agree that it's a no way path to go). But since I just played it without the Pay to Win part and with all heroes available it was great.
    This is a vey enjoyable game that allows Star Wars fans to live the life of galactic wars not only as troopers, but also as heroes.
    5 stars!

    Battlefront pulled a No Man's Sky, The Rise of Battlefront was caused by tremendous updates and work by DICE. It's a shame they stopped there short run of slam dunks. The game is super underrated, it's polished and is very fun. I highly recommend this game, given that it's on sale a lot. If you are fan of star wars, you should give it a shot.

    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.

    -CAMPAIGN- The first three missions    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.

    -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

    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.
