This game is getting better and the devs plans to ad more into it. We have 6 character added after the launch, new maps and game modes and there is news of more to come as this game is being focused by Dice and EA. So give it a try!    … Expand

    Micro-transactions ruined that game. Pay or grind for 12 hours. The multiplayer is no fun at all. And the campaign was okay, but that's all. Sadly, the campaign was the only thing I enjoyed a little bit. It's so sad what EA made of the Star Wars franchise. Don't buy this game!

    I always start with the positives so here we go,

    DICE NAILED the graphics and sounds. The Music feels like your playing Star Wars, the Blasters feel powerful. The graphics on all textures are amazing. And this is coming from a guy who puts graphics and artwork before anything.

    Some of the modes are actually good. Like Ewok hunt, Blast, and the new Capital Supremacy.

    Now on to the negatives

    While Loot-boxes are still a problem, they have become less forced. Sure you will get killed by a guy who has all maxed out cards, but thats not that common. I haven't purchased any loot-boxes or paid content, and i still have some fun playing.

    The story is terrible mainly because they REALLY try to emphasize that Iden is a strong, female Protagonist. She takes off her helmet about 50 times. You also barley see ANY emotion in the Story.    … Expand

Even the newer heroes and cosmetics that do cost credits are cheap and can be obtained in a few hours making the game feel satisfying with its progression and not grindy at all.

I’m not going to touch on the micro transactions, as many have already.

    Cons:
    1. Doesn’t appear to be any real matchmaking here. First time playing the multi and I’m getting owned by players with full load outs?!?
    2. Load times of this magnitude are unforgivable in these scenarios. It’s comparable to open world games that allow you to fast travel. It needs this time to reset and re-render the entire environment. Not when ending a match.
    3 Flying. Like last time they don’t seem to have a clue as to what they are doing. This was a huge WTF moment. True, they added the ability to roll this time, but they have 0 idea how flight controls should work.
    4. EA and Dice convinced Disney that they know what they are doing with the property, again.
    5. Solo game is incredibly short. For a game of this price, there should have been more.
    6. Spawning issues like in the first game, where you pop up where the enemy is standing by to kill you.

    Pros:
    1. Finally giving a story mode.
    2. Multiple solo options for the player that wants to be able to play a game for more than 20 seconds after spawning and not get gunned down as enemies are standing right there.
    3. Look and sound great.

    Conclusion:
    In the end, I was a masochist, thinking they would have done a better job this time. They got my money again, but after this I’ll never buy another EA/Dice game. The companies focus on providing sub standard games at premium prices and screw the customer over.

    If you haven’t bought it, DON’T. I suggest staying away, and warn you friends of the same. I wasted my money, learn from my mistake and don’t waste yours.    … Expand

The multiplayer was so unfair do to the pay to win system, which EA has created. For months it was a big giant mess. But after around 2018 EA has finally made some changes. They got rid of the loot crates. Well, most of it. You can now only buy them from in-game credits. They also changed the messy star card system. They added 3 new heroes, 1 new map and the time when I am writing this review, Anakin is nearly out with a new game mode. After this, I can only say one thing. Is this what took so long?

You’ve got the green and red blasters, you’ve got guys with lightsabers, you’ve got the heroes and villains of Star Wars, you’ve got Stormtroopers… at first glance, all seems right as rain. There are moments in combat where the flash of blaster fire and the sound effects all combine to make it seem like all is right in the world.Star Wars Battlefront 2 superficially looks like Star Wars. You’ve got the green and red blasters, you’ve got guys with lightsabers, you’ve got the heroes and villains of Star Wars, you’ve got Stormtroopers… at first glance, all seems right as rain. There are moments in combat where the flash of blaster fire and the sound effects all combine to make it seem like all is right in the world.

    And then you watch your character move around awkwardly in 3rd person and the illusion is totally broken.

    This is a game that awkwardly tries to put on a veneer of being Star Wars, but any sort of abrasion rapidly rubs off the paint and you’re left with something that never feels right. The whole thing feels very superficial, like you are awkwardly puppeting characters who are meant to represent stuff from the Star Wars universe, but you never feel like a part of the universe, or like any part of it is authentic. Movement is stiff, jumping is awkward, you cannot dash around in a satisfying way, and the characters who use the Force and light sabers feel weird as they run around waving their lightsabers around weightlessly and awkwardly zapping each other with lightning.

    The whole thing just feels off. It has the veneer of Star Wars, but it fails to make you feel either like a Jedi or like a Stormtrooper.

    The single player campaign is in the same vein – superficially attractive, but hollow. You are introduced to Inferno Squad, a group of elite Imperial commandos who realize that they are the baddies and switch sides to the Rebel Alliance after the Empire starts torching its own worlds for no sensible reason but the evulz. The characters show some resistance to just up and switching teams, but it is very obvious where it is going, and the whole thing is really a setup to stick you into a bunch of pretty environments (which have nice visual variety), as well as let you play as Luke, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, and even the latest not Darth Vader knockoff from the Disney sequels. Unfortunately, while all of this happens, it is not really all that satisfying; the missions are all quite visually varied, but in the end you’re just mowing down basically the same people in almost every mission, with the enemies just model swapped between them. There’s no real difference between Rebel fighters and Imperial Stormtroopers, and a few missions that involve dogfighting in TIE fighters and X-wings help to mix things up a bit, but are at best okay.

    The story is pretty mediocre, and while all of the locations are attractive enough, it basically just feels like a series of arbitrary vignettes, and I never built any connection with the new cast of characters.

    Multiplayer, too, doesn’t feel all that great. There’s a mode where heroes fight against villains, which lets you play with all of the really cool characters, but while this mode is somewhat interesting, it also highlights the general awkwardness of it all. Fighting with lightsabers doesn’t feel immersive at all; the Emperor runs around with his hands stuck out in front of him like some sort of Frakenstein’s monster parody, zapping people with lightning; and characters with ranged weapons feel like second class citizens in that they mostly don’t do anything all that cool, and yet they’re equally competitive with the ostensibly cooler lightsaber-wielding combatants. It isn’t terrible, and there’s some reasonable variety between characters, but it just feels kind of awkward, and it has none of the charm that hero shooters like Overwatch have. Teamwork mostly consists of zerging around the map together as a group rather than interacting meaningfully with your teammates, and while it is okay for a while, it just didn’t hold my attention for very long.

    The assault mode – grand battles involving 40 players – seem like a cool idea, but they didn’t feel great in practice. I really liked the idea of it – you play as an ordinary trooper, but every time you die, you gradually gain score. You get more points for killing people and for playing the objective, and when you gain enough points, you can respawn in as a special trooper using special weapons, or as someone in a spaceship fighting overhead, or someone in a vehicle, or even as one of the heroic characters. All of these are stronger than the base troopers, and can help to swing the battle in your favor – but it also means that the other team can get them and (in theory) cut into your team like a hot knife through butter, though in practice, I found that while they were scary, they were often very beatable even as normal troops if you kept your distance and stuck together with other people.

    Unfortunately, the sheer scale of these battles made it hard to feel like you were making a difference in a lot of cases.

    In the end, Battlefront 2 feels superficial. It has the veneer of Star Wars, but is mechanically unsatisfying.    … Expand

    If you’re here looking for recent, relevant reviews, read this to get an idea before you’re duped by these.

    Game modes combined with the maps are extremely linear, with the maps being straight compact corridors of doom with escort the payload missions, or larger open spaced corridors of doom in this games equivalent of battlefields “rush” game mode. Two objectives, move on, two objectives.

    There is absolutely no feeling of the original battlefront with the captures the flag game modes that allowed for a more organic game mode that could be and flow, making every game feel unique. With the combination of vehicle and ground troop warfare in a larger, more sandbox, game map.

    Infantry classes of assault, heavy, officer and sniper...are totally pointless.
    The only difference is in their abilities and weapon types which easily could have been all packaged into one generic soldier. No there is no engineer who repairs the vehicles (that you barely ever even see on the battlefield), there is no support who can drop ammo, because ammo is infinite! There is no medic or medic droids, because health can just regenerate! It’s a purely superficial thing designed for you to grind each classes star cards out to get you playing longer.

    These on rails, a symmetrical game maps and modes also lend to major imbalances. Where one side is going to win more than likely than the other due to the sheer advantage of choke points/enforcer types their faction offers. For example, the Empire have death troopers as enforcers which are ridiculously more viable than the rebels Wookiee’s. Their high rate of fire and damage output and health tanking can make it nigh on impossible for rebels to pass through choke points on maps like kessle as they can take on four or more guys on their own. Where as a Wookiee can be beaten in a 1v1 if they miss their first shot with their slow RoF bow caster

    Sometimes the monotony of the troop game modes can be broken up with heros vs villains, but after just four games of that you know the score. The teams clash, whoever wins that initial chaotic cluster of a fight pretty much wins the game, as they can now move as a group and continuously gank the one enemy who’s the target, rinse and repeat. While the other team will have been split up by the spawns.

    Star fighter game modes are also spectacularly bare bones. Which just resorts to the same tired tdm or
    Non varied objectives as the ground games...but in space!
    Boarding capital ships and fighting the the hanger bays to sabotage from the inside is gone.

    and thanks to the experience and unfair advantage of the star cards, you will be facing 7 levels of hell to fight that uphill battle of being a competent pilot. As other players will have better guns, health and abilities compared to you.

    It’s the same online missions and objectives over and over and over. After less than a days game time I feel I’ve played everything it has to offer. With not a single game mode standing out to me, they might as well all be tdm in this corridor shooter grenade spam fest.

    Then comes the March making, no server browser or customisation options whatsoever. So you will play the maps that the game decides. Sick of kessel ? Tough luck you’ll be playing it five games in a row.

    This game is not worth buying or playing. It’s novelty and variety tires extremely quickly.    … Expand

And ok, some missions are more difficult than others but you can beat it easily the second or third time. The end could be better. If you're fan of this saga, buy it. If not the case you may think in buying a different game. I didn't plan to play this game but I borrowed it from a friend of mine. I only would think to buy it if it was quite cheap.… Expand

    Esta review la estoy haciendo algo mas de un año después de la salida de este titulo por que me parecía que el juego cuando salio aparte de toda la polémica con las loot boxes, el juego no estaba terminado y tenia un futuro muy incierto, no sabíamos si cumplirían con lo del contenido gratuito y mas términos que se les prometieron a los seguidores de esta franquicia.

    En cuanto a la campaña ya sabemos todos lo que ocurrió, es una campaña mas, genérica hasta decir vasta sin ninguna profundidad y una duración que a día de hoy lo único que podemos hacer es reírnos y no llorar.

    El multijugador si es verdad que desde el comienzo de este siempre a sido el apartado mas importante, no ha recibido el contenido suficiente durante este año, debido a que los 3 primeros meses se estuvieron haciendo innumerables de ajustes en lo que es la profundidad del gameplay.

    En lo que respecta a la jugabilidad y a su sistema, se volvió al sistema de clases para las unidades, que en mi opinión es uno de los grandes fallos que tenia el anterior titulo por que este sistema hace que los compañeros se apoyen mas entre ellos y exista una necesidad de cooperación, que si bien casi siempre es nula, se vuelca mas al jugador a completar los diferentes objetivos que hay por partida, y saber que clase es mejor para cada situación o como poder ayudar mas a tu equipo.

    El modo de un solo jugador, en este caso llamado árcade si bien esta recibiendo el contenido que va apareciendo, necesita muchos mas modos de juego como el tan aclamado Conquista Galáctica, y un modo de Héroes contra Villanos contra la IA.

    En cuanto al contenido lanzado este año tenemos la 2º Temporada inspirada en Han Solo y la 3º Temporada que hace nada la hemos tenido con 2 nuevos personajes, Obi-Wan Kenobi y el General Grievous, el mapa de Geonosis, tambien hemos recibido skins de las guerras clon, y mas cambios y ajustes para el online.

    De cara al futuro solo sabemos por ahora lo que tendremos a principios de 2019, que seran dos personajes nuevos, Anakin Skywalker y el Conde Dooku, y por fin el modo conquista con varios añadidos nuevos para que sea aun mas profundo el gameplay.

    No sabemos aun que nos deparara el futuro de este titulo, si recibiremos todo aquello que ansiamos, pero a día de hoy si bien faltan modos de juego y mapas muy importantes de la saga, es un juego que se puede disfrutar, eso si sabiendo que en un futuro nos aguarda mas contenido por llegar, y que este no se quedara en el estado actual.

    En conclusión, un videojuego que ha cambiado radicalmente y para bien, y que al precio que esta a día de hoy, si recomiendo su adquisición para los que no lo hicieron en su día y le tiene cierto aprecio a esta saga.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Downfall of EA Battlefront

    Well we all know or have heard of the good old saying “With great power, comes great responsibility”. Well apparently EA hasn’t. Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released about a year ago, which’s predecessor had already disappointed its fan base due to it being lackluster. Numerous people believed EA would get it right and do a fan service for its supportive community, but it didn’t. Two weeks in after the release, and EA already faced major backlashes from its community.

    Like in the first game the EA developers did a phenomenal job on the visual effects and the score of the game. Battlefront 2 faithfully captures the feel and looks of the Star Wars universe with its detailed map design and interactables across its universe. Every blaster and droid sounds like they are straight from the movies. As the game tries to make its fan base feel at home in the Star Wars universe, it fails to use the right impersonators for its heroes in the game. Luke sounds nothing like the Luke Skywalker of “Return of the Jedi” and Darth Vader is way too talkative.

    The game features various game modes for its fans to play, such as an campaign mode, to dive into the Star Wars lore and a multiplayer mode for its competitive players. The campaign mode itself is a story with an unresolved plot, which leaves its players with an empty feeling. Besides the campaign, the multiplayer gameplay is a good solid shooter game, but the campaign is where EA lost their touch.

    The progress system for its multiplayer mode is an unpleasant feeling for the fan base. Working with a random loot crate system isn’t a bad idea and does seem to give an exciting feeling, but it’s with the progress system EA gets it wrong. Next to the standard levelling up, players have the option to get new gear online through microtransaction. The problem is that EA forces people to buy gear that gives people an early advantage in the game. The players went online to sign a petition “Pay to win” to banish the microtransaction in the game. Although EA heard their fans, it didn’t get rid of the microtransactions, but just added some slight adjustments to the microtransactions. Players weren’t happy with EA’s choice and started refunding their games and this led to significant loss in profit and credibility in EA. Now that faith is lost in EA fans have now started to boycott other EA games such as the new and upcoming Battlefield V.

    Although Star Wars Battlefront 2 has a solid gameplay, it leaves its fanbase with a gutted feeling. With its unresolved campaign storyline and a multiplayer that is based on microtransactions, the franchise must now look ahead to find a way to redeem itself once more.    … Expand

    While it was released like a free to play game with at 60$ price tag, They have completely changed the game, and it is without any of those elements. Only thing you can buy with real money is cosmetics. Except for that it is pretty fun with many diverse game modes and excellent visuals and sound

It's the least amount of fun I've had playing a video game in some time and to consider that this is a STAR WARS game, I'm astounded by how terrible it is. Not to mention, the AI was incredibly unintuitive and there were glitches that made me have to repeat entire areas a few times, mainly the unreasonably inaccurate hit boxes that make flying scenarios an absolute chore. The game was split right down the middle between time in game and time in cutscene, which can be totally fine. Except, both were miserable. The gameplay was atrocious and the dialogue was embarrassing. I honestly can't believe a game of this caliber is as unimpressive as it is. So much for waiting a year to give this game the respect I thought it deserved.… Expand

    I had this game preordered, upgraded to the Deluxe Edition - and refunded it three days later. The entire game is designed around loot boxes being the only progression system. Even worse, you can't upgrade your gear with the currency you earn by playing unless you've opened enough boxes - so the paywall is there either way.

    Boxes aside, the game just isn't fun. Every map is the same, with 1 - 3 lanes being the only areas you can fight in. It's like the game was designed to keep you from having fun. Every time I tried to flank I went out of bounds, and every phase of the map you'll find yourself only fighting in one or two areas with no alternative routes. As someone who loves being clever and using strategy in my shooters I felt like I was handcuffed while playing it. The game is completely on rails. In DICE's first battlefront I felt like I could actually explore the maps but in Battlefront II you'll be running into walls, closed doors and going out of bounds the entire time as the game funnels your entire team into a single unavoidable choke point. It's frustrating and simply not fun, like playing a MOBA with three lanes and no jungle to go between them. The campaign was also extremely boring.

    Also, forget about playing a hero. I played this game for over 10 hours and never got the hero once. DICE succeeded in making it even more difficult than in the first Battlefront. In Battlefront II players who paid to win earn battle points faster then everyone else, unlock the heroes (who have regenerating health now) and camp with them all game.

    Dislikes:
    (1) Playing as Iden Versio is uninspiring and gets boring at times.
    (2) The story is rushed as the campaign doesn't last long.
    (3) Fighting as Luke can get out of hand as his movements are kind of all over the place.
    (4) Wish there was a cover system.
    (5) Han Solo looks and sounds kind of weird.
    (6) Non-friendly and friendly AI is dumb. I would literally use a machine gun on one of those big machine walkers and the storm troopers weren't alarmed at all as they just continued patrolling their areas. I was like WTF! Also there was a mission where my friendly ally would literally run right past the storm troopers and the troopers weren't alarmed at all. Another WTF moment.
    (7) the save system sucks
    (8) the ending was lame

    If they do come out with a Battlefront 3, hopefully it is a lot better than this. While this game does have many of its flaws i still liked the game for the most part, but not as much as i wanted to.    … Expand

    became completely crazy and went too far. Not only did they kill a lot of good gaming studios, they also made a bending system in the originally paid game for adding extra real money. These greedy, evil and vain monsters are ruining the games. I hope, they will be closed soon as Telltale.

The fact that you get more credits when a match is longer in time is ridiculous since a player with 17 kills can and may have the same credits as a person with only deaths in the leaderboard. Heroes and classes were also unbalanced, and some maps and vehicles may be glitchy at times. Over the months though, EA fixed the loot box system, made each hero free and tried their best to balance every hero and class equally, added more maps and heroes via seasons, added regular and hero skins, and many more. Season 3, or the Clone Wars season is also coming up very soon, and that is something players can be excited about. Despite all the changes and improvements EA added into this game, players just can't simply forget their undeniable mistakes from the past, and even up to date. Giving 5 as a score to this game, Star Wars: Battlefront II, is forgiving in all aspects.… Expand

    Let’s start with the campaign, this will be short just like the length of the campaign itself. It’s fine, nothing more nothing less. It takes around 4 hours. It’s predictable and simple, verging on boring at times, it doesn’t really fill in anything in terms of the story between the films. It’s fine.

    I have played the online when it first came out and after the most recent updates and honestly don’t think the difference is that major. Yes if people have either played it more or previously purchased the loot boxes you are at a disadvantage. However if you persevere you will hold your own, it’s not difficult just slightly frustrating at times but you will have matches where you do exceptionally well and place in the top 5 (even without decent upgraded star cards). The modes are fun, particularly the flying stands out to me and makes me want another Rogue Squadron game. Heroes are overpowered but you would kind of hope so.

    The battle scenarios are quite honestly pointless. They are what you would expect about 15 years ago when playing against the AI before online games were a thing. It is really just a tutorial for playing as the heroes masquerading as a mode.

    Overall this is a good game that does not deserve the hate it is getting. It has been in the headlines for its micro transactions and they have since adjusted this. The game does not have a season pass and they update it with new content. People need to stop hating for the sake of hating. I have played many games over my life and could never truly say this game is a 1, look at it critically and honestly not just based on the fact it’s cool to hate on EA and jump on the bandwagon.    … Expand

    The graphics, sound and maps are great again but that unfortunately is the only good thing about this game.
    The campaign is an addition that should have been in the last Battlefront but Dice announced that gamers dont want a campaign anymore but this was the biggest complaint to Dice after Battlefront was released. It is great it has now been added even if it is not brilliant and a little short.
    Online has been great in regards to adding a lot of new modes but there is not many and some faves from Battlefront are missing. Online though has been ruined by the loot box progression system and greed. In a way we should thank them for this as this will lead to regulations on games after this blatant act of thievery.

    A new progression has since been put in place. This should have been released this way. But its too little too late. There are too few online modes and along with releasing a measly amount of content since launch this game is long dead. Maybe they will make ammends with future dlc but I wouldnt hold my breath.

    Updated 2.
    Season 2 has rolled out and to the entire communitys dismay it is a Solo season. Now I was not too concerned about Clone Wars content I just wanted CONTENT! Part 1 of season 2 was awful. HVV teams cut in half, laughable new mode, SA is now in arcade, nothing ground breaking here and a new map, Jabbas Palace so no new contnent here either. Skins that cost upto 70,000 credits have been added, yes thats seventy thousand credits which is aimed at getting you to cough up the cash. Instead of being improved BF2 is getting worse and a lot of good content is required to save it.

    I don't like this game =( And it's not about the lootboxes... No. Just too less of game mods... Some of them really strange O_o You can't change maps to play on... Always have to move cards with boosters and abilities... And many many those little things annoying me. Why you just can't make the game like Pandemic Studios did, but with your amazing Frostbite.

    Multiplayer first since its why you probably bought the game. If you're starting out, prepare to get nuked endlessly by people who have maxed out Palpatine's who'll kill you with lightning by merely being near you. God forbid there is two bosses and your team gets wiped out of its objective in a matter of seconds. Reliability wise, there isnt many bugs, glitches, or exploits, which is expectable for a well funded game. Loot boxes are gone, but the total lack of in game funds to unlock skins and anything that'd be a highlight is pretty negligible. It's a case of patching the game and not actually making it better.

    The campaign is worse than Destiny's with this broken and barely coherent story of a shock trooper turned traitor. The main character literally doesn't second guess the morality of killing the people she's worked alongside her entire military career. You'll find yourself asking, "Why do I care about these side characters that DICE have neglected to develop the entire story?"

    Dont buy the game, you'll find yourself disappointed by the mediocre campaign, and infuriated by the unbalanced and atrocious game play of the multiplayer.    … Expand

    Sure, they took out the micro-transactions. However, that just means the game is hopelessly unbalanced and I couldn't stand it. The campaign was boring and repetitive, so that didn't help me like the game anymore. The only positives are that the game looks amazing and sounds amazing. Plus the gun-play is solid. But, it's no better than BF1.

    Please DICE, hear me! Why do you make such a good platform for it to be thrown all away from horrible updates and lack of content.

    I have the game and I am very disappointed with the lack of a playerbase with empty servers to go in. With the microtransactions set up by EA, it caused a huge rift with the players because there are remnants who stayed in the game and purchased crystals (purchased in-game currency by real-world money) keep killing newer players and making the game more frustrating than it should.

    Now P2W is gone, and i thought Battlefront 2 has been saved. Well... I was totally wrong. 1/3 heroes are OP, 1/3 are situational and 1/3 are useless in almost every situation. AT-ST is totally OP, speeders can ONE-SHOT heroes, and the MTTs and AT-ATs are usually *unbreakable*.

    Matchmaking just doesn't exist in this game. Everyone who played more than 10 hours in multiplayer matches, knows it.

    General balance is very poor (like I said before). DICE... did you test your game before releasing it? Did you play at least one game? I think you did not. For EA the most important thing is money, ONLY money, definitely NOT players, like they said.

    DO NOT waste your money on this thing, what EA names "game", because they will give you a huge piece of unbalanced garbage with poor story and annoying multiplayer. I really liked STAR WARS films and games, but now I like only films.

    If You want to buy this game soon, please, trust me, don't do it. You will be disappointed after 20 or less hours of playing. There are mutch, MUTCH better games in this world.    … 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.
