    I cannot recommend this game until EA permanently removes the "pay to win" microtransactions, which are a slap in the face to consumers considering the game is a full price title.

    Lootboxes are only allowed in F2P's...you cucked it up again EA...business men are taking too much control over the devs and forcing them to implement this stupid **** and ruin the game. This goes for plenty of AAA games recently. Just **** market the game and keep track of sales and leave the devs to their **** work greedy ****

    Gamer's need to take a stand with pay-to-play games. I was so psyched for this game, but as the release date got closer I got the details on the paid loot system. I am disappointed and will not pay for a game that encourages paid content in the magnitude that this game does.

    This is one of the lowest point of AAA games. What EA did to Andromeda, NFS and now this is unacceptable.

    The game is OK, not the most original or inspired thing for DICE, but it could be enjoyable, especially if you are into Star Wars. But the EA business model is outrageous. Very disappointing.

EA, however see this as an "exploit" because without capping it will create an "unfair multiplayer environment" . But guess what, you are very much welcome, or should I say, strongly incentivize, to pay to unlock, because, well, that CAP to make multiplayer a fair playground is GONE if you PAY.

    To be honest, I sense this game is a trap when they say the expansion will be free. But hell I really didn't expect to see they make such an ugly PR stunt show on reddit.

    0/10 and one of most overrated games of the year. DICE **** up, EA **** up (as usual). When I see the "critic reviews" on the left I feel sad...80+ rating for this? If this is an 8/10 game, then Witcher 3 should be 1000/10...

The lack of being able to choose who's on your squad discourages team-play. Especially when the current mechanic gives 2x BP (Battle points) for playing with whoever the game pairs you up with. Missed opportunity. I find that gaining battle points themselves needs a bit touching upon. Even when playing the objective I found it rather hard to get those 8k needed for a hero before the imo short match finished.

    Aside from that its a mediocre shooter with the star wars essence painted over.

    but they did all the micro-transaction, pay to win b/s on top of that so 0/10, deal with it.    … Expand

    EA has ruined the Star Wars genre. My 11 year old son wanted the game but I refuse to buy a game with micro-transactions. The game is already $60, why try to squeeze more money out of us? I should not have to spend extra money on a game for my son to remain competitive.

    I give this a firm hell no out of ten. This is probably the only game that warrants a review without even buying it. Sorry not sorry temporarily turning off the microtrans now does not fix the fact that your progression is hindered by it and you are just going to turn them back on anyway so peace the heck out on this game.

    Screw EA and their predatory micro-transactions ruining the video game industry. I hope this game shows as an example in the future to other publishers not to destroy their developers work by putting the content behind a giant pay wall. Same reason why I won't buy Destiny 2 after Activision filed their shady patent for micro transactions.

    One word: micro-transactions. EA chose to degrade Battlefront ll with their saturation of microtransactions and opt to create a product void of recreational value. Battlefront's multiplayer seems to lack motivation. Why play Battlefront ii when you could simply pay to reap all the benefits?

    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.
