    Disappointed with the lack of content in the game, me and my brother beat everything in the game in one day. Literally one day, we played for like 4-5 hours and beat the campaign and every mission in single player and co-op. Also I was let down by the fact that there was more maps because most of the maps are tiny and restricted. Not only single player but also in multiplayer the maps are small.

    Pay to win is the death of games. If this continues, this game will be remembered as the beginning of the true death of the customer. EA is a gross, greedy monster that needs to be destroyed. Boycott this game to ensure they change their ways in the future.

    This is how a good game with a big franchise can become so trash by the greedy of the company, it hurts as a fan of star wars and a shame to REALLY enjoy a fully game experience need to pay more than 2000.00 in lootboxes for a full complete game with all the features. . As a gamer and fan of star wars this game deserve a 0.9 as much.

    while the graphics are amazing, the multiplayer is ruined by the fact that it is pay to win. EA has stated that you do not gain a noticeable advantage when opening loot crates with real money. This is far from the truth, multiple star cards affect attributes similar to "aim assist." These advantages should not be in a AAA title.

    2) Gunplay is poor. I'd take a Destiny, CoD, Battlefield, etc, over the gunplay in this game without hesitation.

    3) Map design mechanics are poor. Take Galactic Assault. It's this huge map, but they artificially constrain you into a small part of it at a time. And, it's a different constraint for each side, so players can shoot you and you can't reach them because the game will tell you to turn around (this is mostly beneficial to Specialists who snipe). It's an absurd game design that also prevents flanking maneuvers and makes these 20 v 20 battles nothing but funneled, linear, zerg rush like head to head battering rams.

    3) No character customization. No choice in gender. No skins. Nada. Zip.

    4) Progression via lootboxes. This alone should make this game a 0. But, the game itself is pretty mediocre even without this terrible progression system.

    Anyone who purchases this game is akin to those people who supported the Nazis because at least their flags looked pretty.    … Expand

    They could have made a great game and everyone would have bought it, because it deserved that. Instead, EA chose to force DICE to make a SW games with freemium mobile game mechanics and ALSO closed Visceral Games and cancelled what it would seem like an awesome game, made by the same woman that directed several Uncharted Games and also after they cancelled 1313 several years before...it is obvious that this is exactly what we all thought, a game designed for you to pump money in.

    It would have been could to have several different SW games and a Battlefront game, we would have been happy. But when you build a games around loot boxes, this is what happens.

    The score is not for how the game is, but for WHAT the games is, a shameless cash grab, a sample of the worst practices in gaming, while proving how some corporate idiots, that do not understand games, can ruin something beautiful!

    Battlefront 2 is a fantastic multiplayer game with a obviously unpopular progression system. That said if you intend to not spend any money on loot crates then you don't have to, I've spent $0 extra in game and it hasn't stopped from regularly topping the leader boards. The campaign is half assed but if keeping the loot crates gives EA money to keep making more content then keep it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefront II has an interesting single-player story spanning from the Battle of Endor up until the events of The Force Awakens, with more of the single-player campaign that will become unlocked with the coming of The Last Jedi and the DLC 'season' associated with it. While it's entertaining and gives you a new look at events occurring behind the scenes of the Star Wars universe, it doesn't feel like it truly tells a new story from the side of the Empire. While there is future free DLC expanding on the story, the core campaign itself feels a bit short. Even playing on the hardest difficulty available, completing the story only took 5 hours. This probably would have even taken less time if it weren't for the fact that they included side-story missions that allowed you to play as different heroes, fleshing out how it all meshes into the Star Wars timeline.

    Unarguably, the graphics are top-notch, especially on the Xbox One X, and when matched with the authentic sounds of blaster fire and random stormtrooper chatter.. it really gives you chance to pretend you're fighting in the Star Wars universe. That's enough to look past the occasional texture graphic load-in bug that make things unplayable and have to leave a match.

    Though the loot crate mechanic implementation is terribly flawed, the gameplay itself seems fairly polished. There's doesn't seem to be much difference from Battlefront (2015) in terms of gunplay. The main difference seems to be in the way Star Cards are implemented and what they effect as well as heroes. No more camping a power-up to take to the skies in your TIE or X-wing or becoming a hero.. those now require battle points to earn the right to use during a match. That's a positive change. However, class rank-ups now seem completely arbitrary and based upon what Star Card you manage to draw. Paying for quick access to higher-leveled cards and greater card use terribly imbalances gameplay, especially during the early life-cycle of the game. It also handicaps new players later on once the playerbase obtains a greater share of power. While improved matchmaking may alleviate this, at a certain point, that won't really help. What's worse is that you're not even rewarded for good performance, generally netting you the same share of credits as everyone else. While EA says they want players to feel a sense of accomplishment, they're really just rewarding you for your participation.

    End-of-match accolades also seem to be an afterthought, as often times the same player is recognized for different achievements in a match. This feels like a terrible step back, especially compared to games like Battlefield 1 that would recognize different players for performance in different classes and offering a sort of tiered recognition where the same player wouldn't be recognized multiple times.

    Then comes monetization: loot boxes. Any implementation that affects core gameplay is bad. It feels like in an attempt to improve profit margins, the developers/publishers forgot their audience. Star Wars is a popular brand, and while you could almost do anything to it and make a profit, you still have to keep things fair for your customers. Everyone paid for the product, but you shouldn't give people who have greater disposable income an advantage just for throwing more money at you. That's disrespectful to your base audience. While one aspect was improved with the launch patch in terms of heroes.. the loot box implementation in this case was misguided because it completely disregarded one of the things players like most: player customization.

    Gone are your choices of what to look like in Battlefront 2. You spawn in as a random gender. There's no variety of faces, either. Only a select few heroes have alternate appearances that you can unlock with a loot box drop.

    Why they would decide to affect gameplay instead of targeting non-existent player customization in Battlefront 2 is beyond me.. if you want to make money, you can always have more cosmetic customizations without offending anyone.

    Considering things a bit further, I have to ask myself: Is this game even finished yet? The developers let us know that the player customization system isn't complete yet. There's no toggle for group privacy.. all groups are private. Even if you make a group, is there really a point? They're marked on your map, but you're not spawning with them. Group spawning should be a base feature. Even the music is a toggle when there's a third option listed right in the option description. if it weren't for the core gameplay mechanics being complete and the audio-visual luster.. there are enough points to make one seriously consider that the game isn't ready yet but is being pushed out the door to release before The Last Jedi.

    All in all, Battlefront 2 is a great game and a wonderful Star Wars experience dragged through the mud by poorly thought-out monetization mechanics of EA's toxic philosophy that runs counter to gamers.    … Expand

    This is a frustrating review to write because underneath all of the controversy there is a genuinely great game to be played.
    Small preference throughout the game – this is more an annoyance to me and is completely subjective but I really dislike how the “skills” work – why do grenades respawn? All of the skills feel more like spells in Diablo than a more grounded (for lack of a better term) take, you can’t hold/cook a grenade, it’s a throwaway skill which you can use again in 30 seconds time. Same goes for weapons like shotguns and similar skills.
    Campaign (first 3 levels) - These are good, the first level is a bit out of place but at least gives an intro to the game and some neat mechanics (sealing off doors, using your drone to hack/stun) the second level, as a long term Star Wars fan was great - the depth of the level design with twists and turns, followed by the final act of the chapter was superb... All in all it's too early to judge the story, but the gameplay, look and feel of the game is excellent with lots of atmosphere.

    Arcade - a neat little single player mode which gives a bit of a taste/introduction to how things will feel online, it's a nice way of having a bit of a practice without committing to online and letting the team down.

    Multiplayer - and here is the shadow cast over an otherwise brilliant game, the gameplay (much like the rest of the game) is solid, it handles well, looks good and has a nice feel to it… but then is completely overshadowed by the unintuitive, paid to win loot box structure that undermines the entire experience. This isn't coming from someone who was doing badly at the game, I put at least 4 hours into multiplayer and am fairly average at the game (much like I am at most games) and just found myself getting more infuriated with how other players had "special skills" (which include reduced damage taken, higher power weapon mods, auto-targeting in ships, quicker cooldowns under certain circumstances) and felt like some of my deaths weren't as a result of balance or a better player, but an unfair advantage based on how the game is designed.

    The loot system not only adds an element of chance to your ranking up (which now feels arbitrary as you don't get much from actual ranks, and the money you earn buys you a mystery), some heroes are locked behind credits (which seems pointless because even if you then buy them with credits you still have to earn them in matches anyway - it just causes a delay in unlocking useful skills) - it's all completely orientated around paying money rather than unlocking through levels.

    To give transparency:

    The game revolves around star cards, star cards are assigned to 1 of 3 available slots per character class or vehicle.

    To unlock more slots you need to level up that class or vehicle (which is done by getting more star cards, NOT through gameplay).

    To upgrade the cards you need to reach certain ranks (that means you actually have to play the game to upgrade them further).

    In the daily loot crates, and the crates you can purchase with credits you earn in game you can unlock star cards (I unlocked a handful, for a random selection of heroes and classes), credits (to spend on crates) or random stuff like animations/emotes.

    I received some duplicates (which turned into 200 credits) and also had enough scrap for crafting star cards (where I got to pick what I unlocked) and was able to pick up 6 or 7 cards of my choice.

    This whole system had no bearing on my level, as I am still under rank 10 I could have achieved the exact same result as above by paying some money, to get the same random items (hyperbole) to achieve the same results.

    Microtransactions are here to stay, but in my eyes they should be cosmetic only (skins, animations, whatever you want)... If it weren't for the MTs in this game I would score it 8/10, but 3/10 is fair given my experience and I shall be waiting for some serious changes (not discounts in price, but changes) or for the rest of the game to launch on EA Access before playing it anymore.    … Expand

    I think nobody likes when they are forced to spend their money in vain,and especially to spend your precious time on the opening character in the game. This game will be much better without any lootboxes.#WEHATELOOTBOXES

    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.
