    It's a Pay-To-Win mobile game, for consoles and PC.

    Daily cooldown on rewards for game modes.
    **** formulaic campaign.
    Pay-To-Win multiplayer.

    Do yourself a favor, do literally anything else with your money.

    If you want to eventually get a decent Star Wars game, contact Disney and let them know what you think of EA and what they're doing to the Star Wars brand.

    This AMA for Star Wars: Battlefront II is digging a deeper hole that EA/DICE will not be able to get out of. All the Dev's answers are, "we hear your feedback but you'll have to buy the game and wait/hope for changes that we may or may not implement."

    Disney should never have given them exclusive license. They're use of loot crates is a blight on the industry and is conditioning children to gambling. They turned a fun franchise game into a pay 2 win format. The gaming industry is more or less dead by greed.

    Fan have been requesting a Galactic Conquest mode which was in the ORIGINAL 2005 Battlefront games. We didn't get in in BFI and we expected them to rectify it with BFII. They completely overlooked the "DATA" they claim they check. As a MASSIVE Star Wars fan I was looking forward to EA redeeming itself with BFII. This has become an easy pass. I'll save my $60 for better games without this diseased cash grab.    … Expand

    advantages:
    graphics,
    climate

    disadvantages:
    short and boring campaign,
    credit earning cap,
    The true pay2win. Enormous costs or enormous grind. You decide.

    I realy liked beta. New gameplay its great, but giving you 70€ for nothing? I dont want to play just this game to advance. I think its better if would be seasson pass for 50€ than paying for loot boxes. No buying!

    All progression in this game is intrinsically intertwined with microtransactions and lootboxes - essentially legalized gambling marketed at kids. Currently the system requires over $2000 (or over 4000 hours of time) and you still would not unlock everything in this game. It's a $60 mobile game. Do not buy.

    Disney's biggest mistake was giving their most valuable franchise to a company like EA.

    If they keep releasing games like this, Starwars is gonna lose its popularity amongst teenagers. No one is gonna buy a Starwars game with a half-ass campaign + a messed up multiplayer made by greedy executives.

    the campaign is dreadfully short, beat it in one sitting; and has little replay value. the online is ok right up until some dude comes by with a hero class and kills an entire map, the heros are OP and you have to buy them, even after that you have to hope for the best in matches because only one hero per match so its almost never you; also this loot box is ****

    Game systems seem to be designed to "nudge" players to spend as much real money as possible. Game stinks of "free-to-play" model with $60 price tag. I won't support a company that uses predatory microtransactions in a game played by 13 year-olds (and let's be real--kids younger than that too). Untie game progression from gambling and then we can talk.

    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.

    No reason you should spend money on a game in which you need to spend more money. Yes, I know, you don't "need" to, but for all practical purposes of enjoying every feature in this game, you do.

    It's honestly impressive how EA can take amazing titles such as Mass Effect and Star Wars and absolutely butcher them. This game is a $60 PC/console game with the quality of a free mobile game. This game is garbage do not buy.

    The only voice the consumer has in this scenario is reviews, and it is time our voices are heard. We want single-player campaigns. We want to play games, not "license entertainment experiences".

    Spoiler: Loot crates aren't gambling because you don't win anything; any contents are subject to deletion or change at the whim of EA.

    The "exploiting your customers" bubble has burst.

    Maybe it's time to put the content back into the game?

    Also maybe stop closing down studios.

    No one is going to buy Titanfall 3: Loot Box Edition.

    If this is the gaming world EA wants to continue down. I don't want any part of it.

    Game is littered with ridiculously long if not impossible progression systems, but hey you can bypass that for the low time fee of $2100 to unlock all content.

    Send a message. Don't buy the game. give it a bad rating.

    Lootboxes are okay only on a pay-to-win free-to-play game. But it is an AAA title, and it cost 60/80 bucks. That's not okay. EA is killing this franchise.

    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.
