    The game looks great and plays great....
    The graphics are phenomenal and it has a somewhat okay campaign
    The Atmosphere is true to the star wars universe as will as the music and sound
    but with all the lootboxes and what the game is doing to the industry as a whole, i simply can't sit and not give the game A 0/10.
    A game that is ruining games for all of us

    The original Battlefront II was a fun and chaotic title when I played it all those years ago on the Xbox; I didn't play that much of it, but what I did play was good stuff.

I felt like I was just getting lucky whenever I won a match, because a game being this pay-to-win is just exploitative. It just saps all the fun away when the game urges you to just pay real money for the best gear/content instead of getting more skilled at the game by playing. You didn't earn the victory, so where's the fun? What will we be left with when the servers shut down? A crippled husk of a game which there is no reason to return to. This is a disgusting peek at a future where consumers are treated as cows to be milked for money.… Expand

    Las políticas de EA están destruyendo la industria, independientemente de que las hayan cambiado en lo reciente, ya que es claro que pronto volverán a cobrar micropagos, La respuesta más clara de la comunidad debe ser evitar su compra de manera definitiva, para que el mensaje sea perfectamente claro para EA, tanto como para las demás empresas que cuenten con micropagos

This is just another game where EA plan to make a fast cash grab from the player base and treating us like S***h. As consumers we deserve better then this and unless EA is going to make change to all these issues, this game is bound to fail big time.

    I give this game a 0 because it's absolute garbage. The single player is a measly 6 hours at most. The advertising for an interesting campaign with a female inferno squad trooper is boarder-line false advertising as you spend most of the campaign not playing as her at all.

The single player is a measly 6 hours at most. The advertising for an interesting campaign with a female inferno squad trooper is boarder-line false advertising as you spend most of the campaign not playing as her at all.

    In regards to multiplayer, unless you are prepared to spend 40 - 60 hours grinding to unlock each and every character, you can say goodbye to playing as every hero in the game. It's obvious that the progression system is completely built around Microtransactions, and even though they have removed this, it's important that the removal is only temporary. EA fully intends to reintroduce Microtransactions at a later date, presumably after many people have already bought the game. The thing is that these microtransactions made the game PTW. Someone could literally drop a few hundred dollars and upgrade their character to top tier OP status in minutes. Again, as of now, this feature is removed, but is scheduled to be reintroduced at a later date.

    All that aside, the game just sucks. The multiplayer has horrible maps except for maybe two. Everything is easy, and the whole game is just a pew pew fest in Star Wars looking characters. Hero characters are ridiculously OP such that standard classes can't compete. But what's worse is that there is no direction to this game, you just run around shooting people via ambush, because the maps have no logical progression to set up face to face gunfights. The whole game, from single to multiplayer is just a steaming pile of trash. I strongly advise you all to avoid this game at all costs. It's not worth $60 in any way shape or form.    … Expand

I tell you why, only because these lootboxes contains important items that you really need for winning matches, it's not just cosmetic. I remember such **** in UFC2 from EA, same here.

    Just like the last few DICE games published by EA, money rules everything. This game disadvantages and discourages newcomers and casual gamers by rewarding those who purchase loot boxes and grind the multiplayer. Awful game hidden under a pretty skin.

    Garbage Pay 2 win system that is more focused on a cash grab, and how much money it can milk from players than anything. This is essentially a virtual gambling simulator. Imagine if you went to a Casino and before you sat down at any slot machine, you had to pay someone to let you sit down to play, before you put money into the machine. That is essentially this game.

    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.
