    I never expected less comming from EA, The moneymakers. This is just sad, if we dont say something this kind of games will continuously go on.
    This **** lootboxes is like a virtual casino, gamers are not cumpulsive gamblers, or at least the sensible ones.
    Stop buying lootcrates, and just refound games like that. Its the only way of dealing with this enterprises.

    I have just seen a fully upgraded Darth Vader in-game. The player played like absolute garbage and also seemed to lag a bit and he still mowed down so many enemies. They were like NPCs ( Non player characters aka non paying customers) This is the worst game design I have seen in like forever... Good job EA, you reeeeeaally nailed this one

    EA has ruined gaming. It's ridiculous they they are allowed to get away with this type of stuff. They need to hear the voices of the gamers. I'm glad their stocks are falling.

    Not all of us will fall for your nasty tricks EA. I'm tired of gaming companies putting all of this time into and game and then ruining what could be great, for money.

    I’m sorry, but I cannot support a gaming publisher that treats its customers this way. You do a disservice to both the people that want to play your game, and the developers that spent so much time creating it. I was a fan of the old battlefront games (from the early 2000s). They were great games because they allowed you to immerse yourself into the Star Wars universe WITH NO LIMITATIONS.I’m sorry, but I cannot support a gaming publisher that treats its customers this way.

They were great games because they allowed you to immerse yourself into the Star Wars universe WITH NO LIMITATIONS. There was no locked content, no lootbox system, just a game that delivered everything that I paid for from the initial purchase. I want to like DICE’s Battlefront 2, I wanted to like DICE’s Battlefront 1 as well, but it seems apparent that the battlefront series that I initially fell in love with no longer exists. So until a day comes when a Star Wars game with the same spirit of simplicity gets made, I must say goodbye to EA’s “battlefront series.” I just ask that everyone makes a logically sound decision with their money when it comes to business practices like this in the future.… Expand

    Disgusting Pay2Win game that's pretty much unplayable without a credit card. I can't even begin to tell anyone how many people think the same thing, and this is just a cash grab game, feeding off of the original's reboot.

    DO NOT BUY

    The new progression system is horrible. Even though Micro-transactions have been TEMPORARILY removed, the pay-to-win formula and lack of clear character progression has doomed this game.

    Loot boxes were obviously invented by a group of evil monks whose only intention is to drain the soul and any modicum of happiness from all who encounter it. Don't be fooled by their recent Press Release, EA has not fixed the problem until Loot Boxes and Micro-transactions are eliminated for good. Bring back Hutt contracts or some other progression system that does not result in a veiled version of gambling.

    If this wasn't a long pre-ordered birthday gift, I would have cancelled my order. Rest assured, I will never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever, never, never, ever drop another penny into this franchise or any future franchise that attempts to dupe their customers into spending more money to get the full enjoyment out of a game that they have already paid full price for. Did I say never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever, never? Good!

    Maybe there will be a holiday miracle and EA will choose good will towards man/woman/customer over greed/shareholders/evil...    … Expand

    Tried the beta weeks ago and this game looked like a giant cash machine for EA
    Have heard about the microtransaction in SWBF2, WTF EA?????
    EA raped me long and hard with the SWBF DLC one year ago (no content, **** maps etc...)
    EA Can go F*** itself, I will never buy a game from them again...

    I WILL NEVER BUY A GAME FROM THEM...PERIOD.

    Campaign is great, visuals are great, sound is great. EA being money grubbing, stuff shirt stuffing, Corporate Richards...... Not so great.

    P.s. Loot Crates that AREN'T strictly cosmetic can keep themselves where they belong. Freemium mobile games. Thanks for playing EA.

    This stewing pile of **** lootbox-fest-game does NOT deserve your money. If you do not have at least $100 bucks to buy those crates, stay FAR AWAY from this game, because you'll have such a disadvantage you'll regret buying it.

Do you really want to grind game after game for a chance at opening up a crate that may contain a card relevant to you? Any worthwhile improvement would require a major overhaul, which we know isn't happening. Forget this game exists and hope Disney gives BF-III rights to an irreproachable publisher.… Expand

    The first game was a major disappointment. This is a Disgrace. I feel bad for the developers who tried to make this a great game, only to have their work be shredded and tarnished by corporate greed. This game is an insult to the Star Wars name and the gaming community.

    EA's Greed is a path to the dark side. Greed leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

    It is amazing that people are so quick to praise this game for "doing what the first one didn't".

    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.
