    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the campaign of the game is good and enjoyable, the multiplayer has been ruined by EA's almost pay2win system. A loot-box system with micro-transactions are OK if the game was free-to-play, however you are paying at least € 64,99 for a standard edition, and € 89,99 for a deluxe edition. When you buy a full prised game, there should not be things locked that can be bought with real money, that not "pride and accomplishment". The gameplay is fun but is is just ruined by EA's stupid economic decisions and their greed, I feel sorry for the developers of the game and that they have their game ruined by the worst company ever.… Expand

    The developers of this game clearly have zero respect for the Battlefront community. Not only have they repeatedly shown that the entire multiplayer experience is just a money-grab, but the way that they're reacted to this whole controversy just proves that they see customers only for their wallets.

    Despite this game being an improvment gameplay-wise, we should not support lootbox progression system, gambling, unfair match rewards, vague answers and all EA and DICE are doing.
    It seems like DICE is next studio to be ruined by EA after Bioware.

    DICE did a pretty good job with the game in overall. But remove the microtransactions and paid heroes make free and then I'll buy the game.
    PLS! ALL! Dont buy this game!

    Руководство EA и DICE — сраные клоуны и отстой. Живи они в моем городе, я отмудохал бы их за то, что они такие идиоты.
    Драть руководителей EA и DICE, драть их долго кверху жопой.

    What a piece of utter trash. I really cant believe how hard we players are getting the shaft on this one. The mircro transactions completely ruined my gaming experience and just left me sad and frustrated. How can i beat people in this game that drops 300 dollars on it when i cant afford it?

    According to EA, the "unlocking characters through points" feature is to "provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment". In that case, why do they make it possible to buy those features with a credit card? That's some Watto "pride and accomplishment" right there.. You can't make a 60-80$ game and implement pay-to-win strategies such as buying Crystals with real money gettingAccording to EA, the "unlocking characters through points" feature is to "provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment".

You can't make a 60-80$ game and implement pay-to-win strategies such as buying Crystals with real money getting tons of Star Cards and crafting materials to craft these into even better Star Cards... The only thing money should ever get you in a game that you already pay 60-80$ is cosmetics. It should never affect your game play. If you want to do that, make it a F2P game. You're trying to use your community but I guarantee it will backlash. It's a no from me and a cancellation of my pre-order.… Expand

    I made this account just to give this pathetic excuse of video game a well deserved zero.

    This game also made me quit video games for good. EA needs to be purged.

    I'm giving this game a 4 because DICE made a good game but was ruined by EA's micro transactions. It's a terrible thing that EA's greed made a very good game SUCK with its micro transactions star card pay2win BS!

    Battlefront 2 is a good game ruined by bad practice on loot boxes.You simply can not make a micro transaction driven game with a full retail price tag.

    Muy mal Ea, los micropagos es lo peor, ya no sabeis como sacar dinero. Si no pagas, no ganas , ese es vuestro lema. Con esa desventaja si no vas a comprar cajitas, quien va a comprar el juego?. Yo tengo la suscripción de Ea y con las 10 horas gratis ya tengo bastante. Seguire jugando a la primera parte. Gracias Ea por ahorrarme el dinero para comprar otros juegos.

    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.

    Don't give in to this micro-transaction nonsense! If you pay full price for a triple-A title, you should not have to pay more, or grind for 100's of hours, to get access to all of the content. Buying into this lootbox greed sends the message to EA that we as gamers are ok with it. We. Are. Not.

    Don't buy this game until they remove the pay to win lootbox cash grab.

    It´s a shame, really. Technically sublime, top-notch sound design and a great soundtrack.
    All this excellence is spoiled with greed. Battlefield games had the unlock-kit DLC´s and as stupid as it sounds those DLC-packs did not affect gameplay.
    If i wan´t to gamble, i walk into a casino and casino does not require 60€ entry fee.

    What has happened to our dear, dear games? Greed truly shows it's real colours here. Remembering the time when games were made for the sheer joy and to entertain people. Lucasarts adventures and so forth. This? Where will it end? Atleast there is an option for a refund. Do it, even if you enjoy playing thsi game. It's time to take a stand, or we'll all be down in the gutter soon enough.What has happened to our dear, dear games? Greed truly shows it's real colours here.

I'm not part of any gaming community whatsoever, nor have I let other negative reviews affect me in this verdict(although it is very nice to see that other people seem to be fed up aswell). I regret buying the EA titles I did this year, and won't be giving them any more money whatsoever, probably not even when they change. To be honest, it's not a huge loss. The quality of the games really isn't there anymore.. The games, in general, are just lifeless.… Expand

    Although the game is actually funny, the loot box system destroys all sense of progression, since you need to get those boxes in order to progress and unlock star cards. It's a pay-to-win system in a AAA game. It kills all the fun and the sense of challenge. Don't buy it.

    Terrible game full of microtransactions. It was supposed to be legendary. Something to remember in a positive way. Now, it will remain in infamy because of EA's stupid practices. I'm done with EA.

    I enjoyed the Access trial but sadly will not be buying it due to the pay-to-win system. Avoid this one folks.

    Unfortunately EA turned BF2 to pay to win. In game Crystals purchased with real money puts players ahead of people who doesn't. DLC's also problem in a multiplayer game as it divides multiplayer base halfway through the year. it should be like titanfall 2 which EA bought their studio too and will probably ruin that too with titanfall 3. this game is a mess right now.

    I will never support micro transactions and pay-win techniques. EA is a trash, money hungry who has been voted the worst company in America in 2012 and 2013. Its starting to look like 2017 will be their year.

    EA are ruining games for everyone. There is no place for microtransactions in a full priced AAA game. What a horrible, low and greedy company they have become. Avoid like the plague!

    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.

    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.
