    After listening to EA’s response after much deliberation I took their advice to heart, and I have realized that I have gained a sense of pride and accomplishment by giving this game a 0.

    Is it too much to ask for a good game from EA these days? EA is attempting to mine every last morsel at the cost of customer loyalty. It's a real shame because at one point in time EA came out with some of the greatest games of all time...& now we get this garbage. Hey EA...take a look outside your little bubble, this formula isn't working for you & it doesn't work for us. Thumbs way down.

    The only way to change the slide of AAA games into candy crush p2w is to NOT BUY this and make sure to tell EVERY gamer you know how horrible it is. Punishing EA here can go a LONG way toward resisting games becoming phone based garbage.

    I don't mind progression in a game that i have paid for! But there is no doubt that this progression isn't for my enjoyment of the game, if at any point i feel like i should or need to pay more to progress then the system i have already paid for has failed! I didn't Pay for a Grind

    Biggest cluster f—k of a game I’ve ever seen. And it’s barely been out. Used to love Dice, not so much anymore. This game is all about the almighty dollar... certainly not the fans, that’s for sure. DON’T SUPPORT THIS BS OF A GAME. STAY AWAY UNTIL WE SEE SOME CHANGE TOWARDS THE FANS. SAY NO TO THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR!!!

    Nice job EA, nice job...
    I'm sorry Dice.
    I hope that most people who pre-ordered could cancel it, and I also hope that this will serve as a lesson for EA.

    Unfortunately, as amazing and authentic as the graphics are, the game has been rendered unplayable due to the lootboxes, allowing players to pay for significant gameplay advantage - the normal skill required being disregarded in favour of how much a player is willing to pay. What could have been an amazing game is now forever tarnished by obnoxious business practices. How disappointing.

    Why this score? For the amount of GREED ea has. The game is so/so, but 40 hours for a single hero? Then lying about price drop when you actually have a credit earning drop as well, not changing anything? EA, the cancer of gaming!

    Bought this as a reward for finishing uni this year. I got the elite special whatever it's called edition in the preorder for early access, and I mainly bought it for the campaign hoping for something almost like Mass Effect. Felt like a Call of Duty campaign. Thanks for cancelling Visceral's Star Wars game EA.

    The game would've been great, if they hadn't completely ruined the balancing/progression with micro-transactions. The visuals and game play are solid enough, but the greed is what shines through the most here. I will no longer support any EA game, as long as it has any form of micro-transactions in it.

    No, just no. Glorious graphics and SW universe is not "all what we need from MP-orient game". That is still important things but not the main. Balance and playability - the foundation was destroyed.

    So if main mechanic was missed, are there any reasons to look for pros?

    Everthing... I mean everthing is behind some casino roulette reward system. It’s literally an Android or iOS app. You know those app games that sell loot boxes for the best gear or characters;this is the same **** The game is pretty because it’s linear... Anyone can make a game look good if you prohibit players from by using invisible walls... That’s fine but they make it so obvious here.

    I highly recommend watching streamers play the game first before you buy and make your descision then. I was lucky had a coupon to get it... 70$ is a lot of money for a game my opinion they don;t deserve my money.    … Expand

    The truth is, in a multiplayer mode, you WON'T' get matched with people who have better gears or skills than you. it is taken care of by the match making system. You will only get matched with people with similar gears and levels with you.

    The 59 price gets you a good single player mode and a good multiplayer mode. EA as a business would need to have some kind of strategy to make money to keep develop content, those people who developed the games don't do it for free.

The game doesn't fully fail like the first installment does. There is a campaign and there is a semblance of progress here but there isn't enough to push this game into recommendation territory. Kids will enjoy it for what it is: simple, short-lived action that preys on players' love of Star Wars but Battlefront 2 is just too disoriented and boring to enjoy over long periods of time. Rent it, borrow it... don't buy it. P.S. why can't DICE deliver good flight controls in this series when they offer crisp and sensible controls for flight in the Battlefield series!?… Expand

I personally think the most egregious thing about it is the grinding which is utterly unbalanced and a snorefest. That being said, this is the same **** that Ubisoft does time and time again, and I do sympathise for EA that they are bearing the brunt of the much deserved criticisms despite the fact this has been happening for a long long time (look at the ridiculous grinding with For Honour and Rainbow Siege which are just as bad but didn't get the same negative publicity). However, not to defend EA nor the game, there are still some worthy things to talk about this game IF YOU DON'T CARE THIS IS A $60 GAME BASED ON A FREE TO PLAY MODEL.

    Pros:
    First this game is still very beautiful to look. Although its not as detailed or smooth as BF1, I think the attention to detail is still much better than other games. The actual game has a lot more content than the previous BF1 and the battle point system is indeed quite fun once your in the game. That being said there are more negatives that people are overlooking that I would like to highlight.

    CONS (and there are many excluding the well known ones):
    Firstly, there are actually more negatives in this game compared with BF1 and Im not talking about the stuff you know from the media (ie loot boxes etc - that been done to death), instead i would like to focus on the actual negative stuff. These include:
    - The game being pretty boring. Firstly despite having more content and classes etc, for some reason the game feels rather boring in MP. The problem is that the game design is bang average making most people fighting in very broad areas with little squad mechanics or shared objectives. It feels like playing a 3rd person call of duty most of the time instead of the single point, choke point kind of warfare. The problem is that most of the game mechanics are quite limited and most epople also never get to play the heroes themselves. The actual gunplay seems a bit off despite with the added variety.
    - The single player is boring and a wate of time. Despite having this as a selling point, its rather stupid how the single player is generic and not much else to do.
    - Still no galatic conquest? Its a joke how they really hate the community.
    - The progress system is stupid as you well know.
    - Another problem after playing the game is that the map design for most of the game feels off. For a game that prides itself being like Star Wars, it feels awful and generic. The fact that we dont have more content on heroes and classes from different eras speak volumme how much they dont care about the community.

    Summary
    This game if you look at it broadly is well deserved 0. However, if you come to buy this game eyes open and don't care about the unethical practices which have been in mulitiple mulitplayer games such as those by Ubisoft for a very long time now (its just the chickens have come to roost now), then there are some merits to this game as highlighted above. That said this game probably is entertaining for around 10-20 hours before it becomes dog**** boring with lack of progress, leaderboards and stats which other DICE game excelled in at the past. Its very sad but welcome to modern gaming!    … Expand

    This is how I'd some up how the ground assault in multiplayer works, if your defending your most likely going to win, if your assaulting your most likely going to lose. I could go on and on about the other problems in this game but I only have 5000 characters to type. it astonishes me how highly this game is being rated by critics.

    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.

    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.
