    A criminal enterprise targeting children. If I or you were to run an online casino without a licence we would be imprisoned for decades. At EA they made the loot box inventor (FIFA 2005) the current CEO. Yet more vast evidence of a global 2 tiered "Justice" system that threatens human civilization with tyranny, or rather defacto slavery.

    The mechanics of leveling in this Star Wars game are either the product of the warped doctrine of the Sith, or their real world parallel - Imperial American Corporate Fascism. The Holocaust itself was a smash and grab to generate maximum profits, humanity be damned. This "game" is the product of the same reprobate degenerate philosophy. It is at it's core political propaganda that Capital concentrations of the Olegarchy trump the Public or Democracy. Wealth insures tyranny. The Emperor would be very pleased with EA's CEO being a faithful servant of power.    … Expand

    4) playing as a pilot in Galactic Assault gives you hell of a lot points and it has problems with kills counting, you'll never get so many points as a trooper, even playing objectives.
    5) lootboxes - game rewards you with special boxes for (for example) playing 150 minutes as an officer and when you open it, turns out you get some useless gray sh*t;
    6) the only mode worth playing to me is Starfighter Assault.
    7) game modes - wtf... no modes like capture the flag or objective orientated ones (i know there are objectives, but come on it's always defend or attack sth)
    8) Maps shuffling - 8/10 times I start Galactic Assault it puts I'm in beta Naboo map. For ~30 games i was on Hoth once!
    9) Arcade mode split-screen only... another huge step back. What is that? 1990?

    I know these are problems that can be resolved later on, but come on devs, play the damn thing before you release it.    … Expand

    This is a Loot Box Simulator. Pure **** Boring game. EA is the worst company ever. Only for money. Pay to win. You pay more than 70€ and you dont have the complete game. Everything is locked and you have to play during hours to GET A **** CRATE!, And craft using coins only found in crates. Etc. Pure crap.

    EA is trash. They continue to produce AAA titles with maximum marketing effort and then absolutely **** the bed with implementation always involving micro transactions and increasing levels of Pay to Win as time goes on. I really hope that this game might be the thing to wake folks up and to finally start voting with their wallets.

    while the graphics are amazing, the multiplayer is ruined by the fact that it is pay to win. EA has stated that you do not gain a noticeable advantage when opening loot crates with real money. This is far from the truth, multiple star cards affect attributes similar to "aim assist." These advantages should not be in a AAA title.

    The very embodiment of Pay to win itself. EA has truly suffered from this game - not only will features be locked behind a paywall, but we also won't be falling into the trap of paying for them.
    I hope you're happy. EA - it's in the Pay.

    Like an ill-fated case of hemorrhoids, microtransactions have rubbed raw the anus of the gaming community. With EA's gangrenous, malformed hand as its guide, Battlefront II is a red hot iron defiling that already inflamed anus.

    I give this a firm hell no out of ten. This is probably the only game that warrants a review without even buying it. Sorry not sorry temporarily turning off the microtrans now does not fix the fact that your progression is hindered by it and you are just going to turn them back on anyway so peace the heck out on this game.

    And to anyone who says: "they took out the microtransactions, get over it" NO, NO I WILL NOT. It's people like you that got us to this point in the first place.
    When Electronic Farts TEMPORARILY removed microtransactions cause disney told them they are actively hurting the star wars brand, that is when the power of bad press shows.

    To the person who said loot boxes are necessary. Are you mad?!? it's disgraceful. to provide so little in a full price game. it's unheard of in a top tier game. Hasn't it been worked out you would need to spend thousands of pounds to unlock everything. That's MAD.

    I was really looking forward to buying this game, but I felt sick after the release and the state of the game. A short campaign and pay-to-win system for 60€ is just too much. Thanks for helping me decide if I should get Origin Access, guess what my choice was.

    DICE did a pretty good job with the game in overall.

    But what EA does continuously, it's unforgivable! Don't buy their games!
    My rating goes for EA. Maybe 1/10 is way too generous towards them.

    And yes, they changed a few things because the community forced them to, but don't stop there! We can unite to destroy this current cancerous AAA gaming industry.

    BOYCOTT EA!

    People, believe me on this: I purchased the Deluxe edition, got into the game and was welcomed with 4 lootboxes that gave me IMMEDIATE advantages over other players. And guess what? It still didn't matter because other people had purchased even more lootboxes besides the free ones and on my very first match I was obliterated with no chance of fighting back and there was a Luke Skywalker roaming when he still costed 60.000 credits.

    On my second match, the situation reversed: players had no cards and I was almost impossible to beat. 1 v 1 or 2 v 1 I always dominated. That is when I drew the line about the unfairness: refunded my copy and said goodbye to this trash forever.

    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.
