    EA have wrecked another game franchise, which is no surprise. Grinding to unlock crystals to unlock game characters shouldn't be anyones idea of fun, never mind the lootbox gambling and pay to win mechanics. Don't support this type of game, there are plenty of better games to spend your money on.

    Way to go, EA. You killed video gaming. Pay to win is the future you have decreed. This means games are no longer games, by any reasonable definition of the term. Shame on you.

    EA is ruining all of my favorite franchises. This example of detestable business practices is a preview of what Anthem will be, what the next Dragon Age will be, and what the next Titanfall will be.

    I feel like buying some EA stock just so I can go to their shareholder meetings and tell them what a bunch of slimy f*cks their executives are.

    The game is great, gameplaywise and graphics are great.

    But lootboxes in $60 game, which require about $2000 to unlock everything or over 150 DAYS of play time is BS.
    Even worse is the fact that those lootboxes contain stuff that make you better, like 25% better turning on space ships and higher damage.

    Don't buy this game to send a message to EA.

They don't care about your kids, they just care about the almighty dollar. The game is junk without the upgrade cards and you can get them by spending more money. I love Star Wars but this game is predatory trash.

I felt it was written by an 8 yr old. The graphics in the campaign seemed dumbed down compared to MP. The HDR seemed turned off in the campaign in some places. Maps were way to tiny to enjoy the game at all. So linear that only small movement brought up an ‘out of bounds warning’ ruining gameplay. So with such miniature maps stealth and tactics is almost impossible.

    No winter setting or Yoda in the campaign and no speeder bikes. Endor was so tiny and again that ruined the campaign for me. I felt the shooting was awkward and never felt comfortable with most guns except maybe a couple. Just way too linear and scripted for me to enjoy. No replayability at all.

    Multiplayer. I paid A$99 for this game yet can’t use heroes of my choice until I unlock them? If I can I’ll try and get a refund. I don’t want to play MP with a character and weapons I don’t like and I think at least heroes should all come unlocked. Fair enough to earn abilities and weapon upgrades but characters are why we buy these games. Iconic characters like Rey and Yoda. Why do I have to play months to unlock them? Doesn’t my A$99 cover this?

    Either give us what we’ve paid for or make the game freemium but what they’ve greedily done is make a full paid game with freemium in app purchases. This is nothing but CHEATING, LYING AND STEALING.

    This is supposed to be a AAA title ONLY with ALL CONTENT INCLUDED but EA have created a AAA FREEMIUM game and they know it. They are pushing the boundaries to see just how far they can go.

    How far the greedy gaming industry can go depends on YOU and just how much YOU stand up for your RIGHTS. For A$99 you are ENTITLED to a FULL GAME with FULL ACCESS to ALL CONTENT.

    One day a group of gamers have to UNITE and file a LAW SUITE against these companies DOUBLE DIPPING to teach them all to back off and give us exactly what we pay for.

    In the meantime DONT BUY any AAA tittles that charge AAA prices yet use FREEMIUM DOUBLE DIPPING MODELS TO UNLOCK CONTENT. EA laughably said they wanted us to feel pride we had earned our progress. What a lot of BULLDUST. All they want is $300, $400 from each of us for their games. Steve jobs started this IAP rubbish and I’ll never, ever forgive him. He’s ruined both the gaming and mobile gaming industry and turned it into a gambling casino.

    ZERO FOR SINGLE PLAYER AND ZERO FOR MULTIPLAYER BASED ON GAMEPLAY MAINLY. way too linear, no speeder bikes. Where’s the snow? Very poor physics hardly any destruction. Can’t play as hero I like after playing A$99 is a rip off. Too many ‘out of bounds’ areas. Some maps seem to have HDR and others not. Cannot play MP as cannot play hero OF MY CHOICE after paying A$99 and I’m not going to play 40 hours to get the hero I like.

    Loot boxes are a cancer. And now EA wants to push this and connect this gambling to progression? No. Loot boxes should ONLY give cosmetic stuff, live Overwatch does, for instance. The game should NOT be locked behind a loot box system that almost forces you to pay real money. This practice must not be supported.

    Battlefront 2 could have been such an improvement over the last one; great graphics, great characters, fun multiplayer. But corporate greed can't help but take all this and turn into sh*t. Sad, sad thing.

The devs, the designers, the testers are innocent, but if the folks who run the company are poor stewards of the IP they're granted, you can't fix that, you can't change that.

    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.

    sure, paying more money towards a game after the initial purchase has been a thing for a while now, what with dlc and things like that. but dlc is SEPERATELY DEVELOPED ADDITIONAL CONTENT THAT GIVES PLAYERS MORE OF WHAT THEY ALREADY LOVE. that is the concept. you give them a great game, and then and ONLY then do you have to audacity to ask them for more of their hard earned cash.

    the video game industry is currently a toilet. a big dump sits smack in the middle floating in the water, WE CAN FLUSH IT AWAY. together. but only together. weve seen the result of our work with this game, changes are being made, but we have merely won a battle. not the war. these changes dont mean total victory. not even close. we have to push until this turd goes away ENTIRELY.

    So I'm happily walking down the street, minding my own business, when suddenly, EA appears!

    "GIMMIE YO FUKIN MONEY BIATCH" EA screamed at me, froth foaming from it's mouth, knife pointed at my heart. Its pockets were overflowing from cash already, no doubt from other hapless victims. Slowly and carefully I handed over my wallet, making sure to make no sudden moves. EA opened it,    So I'm happily walking down the street, minding my own business, when suddenly, EA appears!

    Slowly and carefully I handed over my wallet, making sure to make no sudden moves. EA opened it, sneering at me.

    "THERE'S ONLY $60 IN HERE?!" Its eyes bulged, veins popping in rage.

    "That's all I got.... sorry EA"

    EA then repeatedly stabbed me, again and again. I tried to cry out, to beg for help, but noone could hear me. I watched passers by ignore my pleas, but they ignored me.

    I could feel my life draining from body, as my vision grew dim. A vision of the actions of my past flashed before me. Just before I passed from this world into the next, I felt a presence beside me ear. EA had bent down to whisper one final thing to me before I parted from my mortal shell

    This is an absolutely abysmal experience with an incomplete campaign mode (which was also falsely advertised as a major selling point in the game’s trailers.) and a microtransaction centric multiplayer, the game uses such an insidious psychological manipulation system that it has warranted an investigation from a European Gambling Commission. Do not purchase this game under any circumstances.

    In this game, which has a base price of 60 dollars, you can spend even more money in order to have an advantage over players who don't in MULTIPLAYER. That is a shameful practice and must not be tolerated. If you say that this is going to get better in the future you're an IDIOT. If you still defend EA after this you're an IDIOT.

    The P2W progression system carelessly shoved into the core of this game is the prime example of everything wrong with EA's business model and the direction of the gaming industry in general. I wish I could give the game a negative rating, but 0 will have to do. Do not buy this game if you have any integrity whatsoever.

    Pay to win games go straight into the toilet. Like Diablos1414 said “The epitome of greed.

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. ”… 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.

    Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
