    This is gaming in 2017. Buy a AAA game for full price and deal with f2p cash shop that has 100% pay to win things in it. Thx but i am out. Not with me EA. And i am sorry that DICE has to deal with that s***storm now. Stop bashing DICE pls. This mechanics all come from those EA wannabe gamers.

    Pissing in a puddle is more fun than playing this game. EA should fire whoever was in charge of this gambling machine they developed. I actually don't wish anyone to lose their job over this...but take a good look at what you've done. This is not gaming. This is not "fun". Time for EA to press the reset button...they've gone way too far and hopefully they'll pay for it.

    At this stage I'm unsure if anything can truly ameliorate the ineptitude of EA's handling of Battlefront 2.
    What was once such a promising title has now been relegated to the same crude depths as Big Rigs and Superman 64

Theres the other type of game that is a service game. Service games has no place on a home console Battlefront 2 is a service game that you have to be always online to access the 80% of the whole experience and also introduce Microtransactions in a form of Loot Crates. To progress you have to play the same maps and levels more than 10000 hours or more to unlocked everything without paying extra money or spend real money to unlocked weapons more quickly. This is the worst thing happened to gaming i know making Star Wars Battlefront 2 costs a lot of money but this is not the way you punished players. I prefer they put a complete game but offline and online and sell the game more than 59.99 dollars instead of putting Loot Crates Microtransactions that you can spend more than 300 dollars to get everything. This is insane. Please dont buy this game this is the type of things that are killing videogames in general. Vote with your wallet and dont buy this game. Gamers have the power to change the video game industry. Video Games should not transform into a service. Its entertainment. Gamers want to buy the whole game and play it whatever they want. Offline or online is your choice and both modes should be connected to unlocked the same things. Expand

This game is the epitome of years of corporate greed, customer exploitation and worst of all, taking advantage of people's love for things. Star Wars Battlefront II boils down to a game that looks very nice and is fun to play but overall just hurts you more than makes you happy. The single-player campaign is nothing but a nostalgia fest and considering I expected it to be a great bridge between the trilogies, I was severely disappointed. It is simply an 8-hour senseless shooter campaign that entices you with some pretty visuals while forcing you to accept the SJW nature that lies under the veil.

    To say this game is pretentious would be an understatement. EA has armed themselves well with smoke and mirrors to misdirect people's attention from the game's glaring issues. The multiplayer may very well be the greatest failure I have ever seen in a video game. Decades of pride and honor that Lucas Film and Disney have spent building and shaping a universe for us to get lost in and what happens when we finally get to have an interactive experience that we can share with our friends in Battlefront II? Nothing. Nothing happens.

    The game does not allow you to play your favourite heroes classes like you would be expect. For a game you've already paid money for, EA expect you to pay more. They take advantage of people's love for a series by slapping everything they want behind a paywall. The entire progression system is based around randomized loot boxes that can be bought with real money or earned in-game through HOURS of gameplay just for one. Almost everything you love about Star Wars is in these loot boxes and can't be played with when you first launch the game. The hero classes, which include series icons such as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca all require nearly 40 hours of play time for a single one.

    I honestly can't believe how bad the practices within this industry have gotten. I want to remind everyone that the best way to combat scum like EA is to vote with your wallets. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

    There used to be a time where there would be one or two playable characters locked behind ingame achievements, and I am all for that, but when a huge portion of the game becomes locked like this, when that gameplay is more than just astetic, and most importantly when you offer people the ability to pay to unlock it, it stops being a game and starts becoming a casino.

    EA likes to defend loot boxes by saying you always get something so its not gambling, but if everyone is honest its really no different, imagine a slot machine that had a minimum payout per spin of 1 cent, it costs 5 cents per spin, so you always get something..... but most of the time what you get is not worth what you put in, hence gambling.

    So yes i gave this game a zero because as far as i can tell its just a pretty slot machine that i have to pay to own and pay again to play.

    People have been banging on about taking a stand against this sort of nonsense for years, but I feel Battlefront in particular is a fork in the road for the industry.

When there are so many stories you can tell in something with such incredible lore, this is clearly a shameless cash grab, for something that could have been a fun game that fans would love and play and eventually praise EA for proving us wrong, right?

    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!

    Gameplay can be fun, but the progression system doesn't exist. Loot crates are the only progression system available. Instead of grinding to unlock a specific gun at level x, you grind to maybe open a gun you want in loot crates... Miss the old BF2

    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.

    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.

    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.
