    Сюжетная кампания Star Wars Battlefront 2 — это, конечно, не худшее, что случилось с играми по «Звёздным войнам», но до уровня Republic Commando ей очень далеко, а в плане мультиплеера — до нормальной Star Wars: Battlefront 2, вышедшей (на минуточку) в 2005 году.Сюжетная кампания Star Wars Battlefront 2 — это, конечно, не худшее, что случилось с играми по «Звёздным войнам», но до уровня Republic Commando ей очень далеко, а в плане мультиплеера — до нормальной Star Wars: Battlefront 2, вышедшей (на минуточку) в 2005 году.

    I wouldn't pay attention to the Metacritic score. Being a player who's played the game since Day 1, the game wasn't great at launch, yes, but in 2020 it almost isn't recognizable when comparing it to its state at launch.

Lootboxes have been removed for a long time, our fan favorite heroes such as Anakin, Obi-Wan, Grievous, and Dooku were added into the game, requested reinforcements like the ARC Trooper, Clone Commando, Commando Droid etc. were added, and even Capital Supremacy, a call back to the original Battlefront 2's famous game-mode of control points and interior ship battles, was added into the game. It's a shame EA cancelled the game when they did, because if they let it go on a little longer it likely would have become the best Star Wars game out there with heroes like Ahsoka, Ventress, Padme, and Cad Bane that were in development. Even still, this is one of the best Star Wars experiences you can have, and I could not recommend it more.… Expand

    There are so many people that play the game before the lootboxes were taken out and because they have review the game before the lootboxes were taken out the reviews are so bad they must to review the game new.

    Играл только в сюжетку, слабо...очень слабо. Несвязные задания с разными героями, никакие герои, дурацкие перки. Стрельба не интересная, оружия мало. Когда вид от третьего лица - вообще ужас. Радует хороший импакт от попадания по тушкам и хорошая графика, хотя и с картинкой проблемы - подгружаются текстуры веток и тд прямо на ходу. Сюжетная ветка даже хуже чем в БФ 5...Играл только в сюжетку, слабо...очень слабо. Несвязные задания с разными героями, никакие герои, дурацкие перки. Стрельба не интересная, оружия мало.

    The micro transactions left the game, so the game has improved a lot, the story is very good, it’s really cool to play with friends, but it has some bugs but it happens from time to time

    I try to play 1 match.. 1 & it takes 10 minutes to find & fill a lobby. I try to get used to the feel of the game, but within 2 minutes I'm already being destroyed repeatedly by a level 500+ player whose already gotten a hero. Literally the worst game that I've ever played in my entire life. This makes Plants vs. Zombies garden warfare look like the best 3rd person shooter ever made in comparison

So you can nowWhile its legacy and metascore will forever be tarnished due to its rightfully criticized faults at launch, much like the Silent Hill HD Collection on PS3 before it a lot of work went into Battlefront II post-release in order to turn it into something fans can appreciate. In this case, the game has been almost entirely scrubbed free of microtransactions and P2W mechanics. So you can now experience all of its solid content without having to suffer through EA's greed.

    The game's meat may come from its competitive multiplayer, but the single-player campaign is really underappreciated. Set immediately after the events of RotJ, the plot puts you in the role of an elite Imperial trooper during the Empire's final days. I had no previous interest in this is a period of the timeline, but due to the quality of its writing and acting I quickly became invested in the adventure from a narrative standpoint. Not least of all because approaching the conflict from a viewpoint other than that of the Rebel Alliance allowed for some surprising insights into how the other side saw the war, as well as there being cool revelations into things like how all those destroyed ships we saw on Jakku in The Force Awakens got there.

    Of course I was also onboard with the gameplay side of it as well. It's a mix of boots on the ground action and aerial dogfighting strung together by memorable setpieces and the occasional chance to play as fan favorite characters like Han Solo or Princess Leia. Essentially, it's the Star Wars themed Call of Duty I never knew I wanted. The brevity and relative simplicity of it's mission design keep it from being terribly replayable however. So in order to get your money's worth you're going to need an internet connection.

    The online portion of Battlefront II offers a lot of variety in terms on modes, maps, and playable characters. There's easily enough here to keep you coming back for hundreds of hours. Provided you get past the initial impressions that is. The multiplayer can be tough to get into at first due to how awful the starting weapons are, as well as the upgradable "star cards" that increase your chosen classes' overall effectiveness being locked behind some level requirements that are pretty hefty given what a disadvantage you're at against more experienced players without them. It also has the least reliable aiming I've seen in a shooter's competitive half since Duke Nukem Forever. All of this is somewhat offset by the game's arcade and cooperative options which allow you to find your footing without having to face other people, but honestly has playing matches against AI bots ever been fun?

    What makes Battlefront II worth sticking with until you unlock better blasters and find the combination of star cards that works best for you in spite of all this is simply the fact that it's bloody Star Wars. Developer DICE pulled material from across every era of the franchise. Which means you can participate in the biggest battles from each trilogy while being immersed in sound design that's authentic to the films and the stunning visuals of the Frostbite engine.

    Most matches start off with you selecting one of four basic troop types. The points you earn by completing objectives and getting kills can be spent on stronger units and vehicles that feel exactly like you would expect based on what you've seen in theaters. This extends to the playable heroes as well. Familiar faces like Yoda, Rey, and more can be selected and act as powerhouses that can change the entire course of a game depending on your skill level. As frustrating as it can be to get repeatedly killed by some lightsaber user, it never feels unfair as a lot of time must be invested in order to master each character's abilities. You can't say they didn't earn the victory as someone else could choose the same jedi and get mowed down instantly. Plus, it makes sense that Darth Vader would leave legions dead at his feet.

    The only time all this fidelity is a problem is when it comes to the map design. Each locale is gorgeous and a blast to run around in because of all the little touches that sell the feeling of actually being in the Star Wars universe, but the layouts are faithful to a fault. Their arrangements may make sense for a film, but feel haphazard in a video game. Some locations suffer from choke points and zones that are too exposed to effectively defend or are too closed off to launch a proper attack on. All things that hurt the objective based modes, particularly when they give one team an unfair leg up over the other.

    There's plenty one could take issue with in Battlefront II, but it's worst problems (the money-grubbing) are now behind it. DICE succeeded at what they set out to do. Namely, delivering the bombastic thrill of the movies while letting you take part in signature events as a key player in them. As a Star Wars fan, I couldn't ask for much more even if there is still room for improvement.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Garbage ass matchmaking, probably worse than rocket league, and that’s saying something. Worst balancing system when it comes to abilities for certain characters. Yoda’s leap attack being able to go through blocks like what? It’s basically a guaranteed free hit when you just stand there trying to block it FORCING you to have to CONSTANTLY dodge. Which also makes for poorly made mechanics and gameplay just looks like a bugfest when the enemy is constantly dodging and being rubberbanded after you thought you had a hit. So many more things wrong with this **** game. Mind you it was made by a development team that SPECIALIZE in SPORT **** GAMES not any shooters or first person action games. _ L… Expand

    Ignoring the old microtransation system I think this game is the ultimate Star Wars multiplayer videogame, the experience in every multiplayer battle is epic with awesome special effects and good graphipcs. Sadly the game lost popularity and is almost dead :(

    A rocky start to the game, as I was hoping to play on the Empire side a lot longer than I played during the Rebels side. Multiplayer can be enjoying at times, but I wished they added more content from the prequel/ clone wars/ original trilogy eras during the early days of the game instead of like a year or 2 after launch.

    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.
