    I made an account to rate this game. EA has disgusting practices and is finally paying the price for it. Forcing players to play over 4,000 hours to unlock everything. Your choice to drop it by 75% and finally remove micro-transactions, for now, is not enough for me to buy this game. If not for the canceled pre-orders losing you money, you wouldn't have changed a damn thing. SCREW YOU EA.

    I've never seen such a blatant attempt at double dipping as this. It's bad enough the game has to have a bland campaign and lots of bugs, but EA had the nuts to tie almost every unlock in multiplayer to a micro gambling system ripped straight out of a f2p mobile game.

Except this is a $60-80 title. This is predatory at best, and the AAA industry won't survive being converted into a greedy micro gambling racket. It takes 4500 hours to unlock everything manually, and it cost $2100 to buy everything prior to their temporary removal of the loot boxes.

    Do not support this kind of unethical practice with your money, or even your time. Any changes they make to satiate their audience are not enough unless they are removing the loot boxes permanently.    … Expand

    Microtransactions everywhere! This Fee-to-pay bs does not belong in a full priced game release. Never returned a game so fast. If they take out the scummy insidious system that wants more money after you've already bought the game, then I'll come back.

    If a free-to-play model is being used, the core game should be free. Triple-A games are moving away from being "games of skill" to being "games of chance" or "pay to win". This is sad.

    There was no sense of accomplishment when they made this game. Taking one of the greatest online multiplayer games and ruining the name by giving it the same title for the remake is deplorable. They are money hungry and greedy and this game showcases that.

    One thing is great about controversies like this, the gamers can see right through the so-called gaming journalists who don't have any balls to call out these terrible market practices, or even downright support it. Reviewing the game is great an all, but skipping issues such as loot boxes which 100% effect gameplay does not make you a good journalist, you are just as guilty as EA forOne thing is great about controversies like this, the gamers can see right through the so-called gaming journalists who don't have any balls to call out these terrible market practices, or even downright support it. Reviewing the game is great an all, but skipping issues such as loot boxes which 100% effect gameplay does not make you a good journalist, you are just as guilty as EA for these oppressive and unwanted monetization tactics.

    So, to the review - Battlefront 2 is an amazing game, beautifully crafted and silky smooth, Dice did a great job crafting the game, only for EA to come along and smash it all to pieces with a filthy and downright evil Pay 2 Win system, we all knew it was P2W since loot boxes was announced, whilst it's true...it isn't as '''bad''' as it was, but it is still fairly bad and whales still have a huge advantage over regular players, no matter what rank they currently are, heck the ranks themselves don't really serve that much purpose since you can power level through to 20 within a day or so if you're a whale.

    It's unfortunately far too easy to talk about the negatives, which is pretty much the progression and the p2w system, it literally wrecks the multiplayer aspects of the game entirely, we ALL knew this was going to happen, EA must have realized the backlash would be intense but honestly, in all honesty do they really care? They already have your money, people have already pre-ordered and the whales are already throwing down serious money - the controversies, if anything are not going to change anything for this game, which was build from the ground up around loot boxes and a pay 2 win system, dice themselves knew this but obviously powerless to contradict their EA overlords.

    The saddest part in all this, Battlefront 2 (2017) at it's core, IS a better game than the original if it was released without any loot boxes or micro-transactions, dice learned a lot from the previous battlefront, which was a great looking, great playing but ultimately repetitive and shallow game.

    This is clearly a disaster for EA, let's hope that corporate and the investors realize that excessive monetization just isn't going to work for them, they need to go back to their roots and look where everything went wrong and do something about it, otherwise EA will continue to be the worst publisher in the world.    … Expand

    If you played games from late 90's and early 2000 period you'll understand why this game so bad.
    It's not just about the microtransaction, but the game mechanics itself is flawed.
    This game aims for "massive" (20vs20 lol) online battle, but each map is sliced into smaller sections and you cannot flank or ambush your opponents from behind because game doesn't allows it.

    I'd write a multi-paragraph rant about how this game is a complete dumpster fire but many have already.

    Dont buy it, dont bother with it. The game is a unbalanced pile of crap that is purely designed to force players to spend money on the micro-transactions (when active again). Those who have during the games initial release will be nearly unstoppable against newer players.

    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.
