    Still has less content than the original battlefront 2 that came out in 2005. Campaign is short. Pay to win baby. They said that they wanted to make unlocking a hero an achievement but what they did was make it a grind. World of Warcraft killed Everquest because they took away grinding. Couldn't play heroes vs villains because all of my unlocked heroes were taken.....

    Random items in loot boxes/crates should not dictate the progress I make in a game. My performance is what should dictate the progress I make in the game. What incentives are there to get better? Anyone can just grind for credits....

    While the game plays like a charm, I can not longer endorse this game, or even others, that prioritize gambling mechanics and/or putting up big barriers to unlocking content that should be made available when paying full retail price for a AAA game. It's not acceptable and the industry needs to change. It's too bad SWBII had to the be the game that broke everyone, but something had to.

    Please don't buy this game! We need to stop paying $60 for free to play games. Devs are taking content out of the core game and selling the rest of the game to you chunks. As a member of the gaming community we need to boycott all games like this.

    Microtransactions are a feature we must not allow to appear in any games from now on. There is no valid justification for them, at least not for a full priced AAA game like this. Period.

Then a dirty, shady, scumbag of a publisher come along and force in Pay2Win micro transactions in to a full price $60 game and expect people to be OK with it. Then to deal with the fallout about how much of a grind the game was your response is “to give the player a sense of achievement.” Did you really think that would slide. If you are going to be scumbags, own it; accept that you like wring all the money out of customers, that you like to “turn players into payers.” All faith in you has been lost and from this point on until you stop your shady ass business practices I will do the only thing I can do and vote with my wallet. So EA you can go take your scummy, dirty, micro transaction infested hell holes that you call “games” and shove right up your arse, right where **** belongs.

    Worst business model in history of video game industry. Enjoy your 4000 h long grind. Sure you don´t need all cards just best versions and all emotes and other visual stuff but still, we are talking about hundreds of hours or dollars and that is the point... In a blink of an eye we got from 60$ to 600$

    Congratulations on completely **** up what could have been, or come close to being game of the year EA. Corporate greed has pulled the AAA companies in this industry away from developing games with a passion for the artful medium of entertainment they're supposed to be and replaced them with simple money generators. I hope you have a sense of pride and accomplishment releasing this load of trash to your customers.

    Just a clarification too, the game itself is **** incredible. Genuinely near on par with the 2005 Battlefront 2. If( and a big IF) the game's progression system is moved away from a system based entirely on gambling (and essentially legal hacking), then I'd absolutely rate this a perfect 10/10. As is though, I wouldn't recommend this **** in a million years.    … Expand

    I can’t recommend this game to anyone in the current state. To feel constrained by a freemium progression system in a full retail game is ridiculous. If the campaign was a thorough and meaningful experience maybe some of the online elements could be slightly forgiven, but this is not the case.

    This game has a basic campaign, a pay to win multiplayer, a crappy and greedy company behind, and so many whales wanting to try this glorified casino. Value productions are sky high just like similar games you can play on those proprietary Konami pachinko. 10/10, kids love gambling.

    Enough is enough. Cut the micro-transaction, loot box, and pay-to-win crap. If CD Projekt Red can create arguably one of the greatest games of all time (Witcher 3) with 1/4 of the assets that EA has, there is no excuse for this crap attempt at a sub-par game to try and weasel as much money as you can from your consumers. I hope now EA is realizing we aren't a bunch of lemmings.

    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.
