    1. Short, unimpressive single player campaign;

    3. Horrible grinding (and this is comes from the guy, that plays warframe and euro truck simulator 2). Srsly, it's not even worth to try to be good in the multiplayer, you still be rewarded the same as the player on the bottom of leaderboard. 4. Greed; 5. GReed; 6.

    EA's greed is ruining this game... I truly believe that they are a bunch of hypocrites. **** EA, Dice needs to get rid of this awful publishers, no one should even pay attention to anything published by EA.

    I'm just another gamer that refuses to give this company my money for there practices. Progression systems should not be loot boxes, this is just a form of gambling, exploiting the young and the weak minded.

    if the game was for free I would like it but for me it is a freemium (f2p) title, for which I pay 65 €. ridiculous! he game wants the buyer to spend as much money as possible. counter strike go or other egoshooters have better concepts.

    EA: I NEED MORE GOLD!
    Players: ARE YOU **** SERIOUS?! I PAYED 60 DOLLARS FOR FULL-PRICED GAME AND MUST DONATE 2 WIN?!
    No, really, EA, stop to kick dicks and make normal game without pay2win system, an idiotic plot, boring gameplay and, surely, without faping on graphics.

    P.S. 2100 DOLLARS TO OPEN WHOLE CONTENT?!

    How to **** up one of the most loved franchises of all Time? Put an EA stamp on it. Last game i liked made by EA was Need for Speed: Underground 2. Best Game that could ever be made for a Star Wars Game, would Be Knights of The Old Republic 3, made by CD Projekt Red

    They don't deserve a monopoly on this franchise.

    I find their lack of integrity, creativity and nobility very disturbing. It's a superficial cash grab, the gameplay is improved from last time but still very limited, campaign is a joke, P2W lootbox gambling is the central element to the gameplay experience. They shouldn't have even needed a second chance but they went ahead and    They don't deserve a monopoly on this franchise.

    What the f*ck? The first game's pay to win mechanics were unbearable, with half of the stuff locked without any way to access it within the normal game. This game's loot boxes don't even compare to that in my opinion, but the **** AI in the campaign along with the lazy server quality makes this another No Man's Sky. Go throw yourselves into a car fire, EA.

    Играю в игры от Dice со времен Battlefriled 1942 и пожалуй закончу на battlefrield 1. Неужели у ЕА не хватает денег, спортивные симуляторы, nfs и тот же sims. По курсу акций у ЕА все замечательно. Я готов платить за season pass, но не за режим pay to win.

    Lootcrates are form of gambling. Sometimes you win what you want and sometimes you don't win what you want. That's gambling isn't it. EA wants us to gamble to win in Battlefront 2

    PLEASE IF ANYONE AT DISNEY IS READING THIS SAVE US FROM A DIE HARD STAR WARS FAN , PLEASE REVOKE THE LICENSE OF STAR WARS :( The worst case of monetization for a Full Price AAA game so far. EA's pay to win forced-down-your-throat game design ruined the creatives' approach. Not even the best PR in the world could change that. Let's vote with our wallet

    I will not comment on the loot crate and pay to win issue as others have done that in great detail already. Suffice to say, I entirely agree with them.

    What I will comment on is the campaign which is actually what has me fired up. It is an example of completely deceitful marketing. Trailers and interviews made it seem like the campaign would depict an Imperial loyalist character.

    What I will comment on is the campaign which is actually what has me fired up. It is an example of completely deceitful marketing. Trailers and interviews made it seem like the campaign would depict an Imperial loyalist character. Star Wars has not had such a portrayal in a game since the 1990's with TIE Fighter's Maarek Stele character. Instead what do we get? We get someone who defects less than halfway through the campaign and we spend the majority of the time doing a tired repeat of the old "Imperial repents and turns Rebel". That story has been done to death in other forms in the Star Wars franchise!

    We could have had a chance to see an Imperial struggling in the wake of the Rebellion's victory and the disintegration of the Empire, and maybe we could have gained some insight into how the First Order formed. We could have had a character winning battles even though the larger war is still lost.
    We didn't need a total Imperial fanatic, acting like the stereotyped 2-dimensional villain. TIE Fighter's Maarek Stele was an Imperial loyalist but was not blind to the faults of the Empire. He just ultimately thought that for all its faults it was still better than the alternative. In more recent stuff, we have the character Rae Sloane (which is actually referenced in the campaign), but Sloane actually stays loyal even though she disagreed with the Emperor's scorched earth plan (i.e. Operation Cinder), which is pretty clearly based off Hitler's "Nero Decree". We could have had a nuanced Imperial character. Instead we get the same juvenile depictions as if no sane non-fanatical person could possibly support the Empire, and the only "good Imperial" is a defector.

    Ultimately though I am angry because we were LIED to and given a bait and switch. We were told it would be an Imperial campaign to show the Imperai POV and to have some "Imperial heroes". Instead we got a Rebel campaign, which couldn't even keep its Imperial disguise on for very long.    … Expand

    Worst game I've bought in years. People who say it would be an 8 without the loot boxes are delusional. This is some of the most shallow gameplay out of a DICE game since 2015 Battlefront.

Then you're going to lose.    Worst game I've bought in years. People who say it would be an 8 without the loot boxes are delusional.

    Galactic Assault: Are you the attacking team? Then you're going to lose. Everything is stacked against the attackers.

    Starfighter Assault: Are you the attacking team? Then you're going to lose. While you're busy trying to play the objective, all your opponents have to do is shoot you (and AI bots) down to win.

    Blast: Oh wow, Team Deathmatch, how original. Now with people one-shotting you across the map because they have rare and epic star cards on their Specialist class snipers.

    Heroes vs. Villains: Are you on the heroes team? Then you're going to lose because every single villains has crowd control abilities that can stun lock you. Oh and preorders got not one but TWO epic Kylo Ren cards which make his crowd control abilities nearly impossible to avoid. Heroes get dashes, sprints, a melee charge, and a smoke grenade. Vader can single handedly throw an entire team off a map. BALANCE!

    Strike: Mini version of Galactic Assault with fewer players. Attackers might have a chance to win if they're not stupid but one lone wolf can ruin the game for either side.

    Then there's the loot box RNG garbage. Straight up statistical advantages per card with no downsides completely designed around forcing players to shell out their credit cards. People with auto cooling weapons, faster firing, and quicker battle point generation just stomping all over anyone who hasn't gotten decent cards. See that guy over there on your team running in circles because he put rubber bands on his controller? He's going to get as many credits as you for playing despite doing nothing for the team but wasting space. He'll earn more credits than you if he was in the match longer than you were.

    This game is prettier than 2015's Battlefront but it's just as shallow and even MORE imbalanced - which is a feat given how pathetically balanced the modes were in THAT game. Do not buy this garbage, do not reward EA with your money. I wish I had bought COD WW2 at this rate. That might be scummy as well but it's not THIS scummy.    … 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

    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.
