    The intent is to provide the players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for successfully spending more money to buy loot boxes. EA has really done it in this one. Please spread the word of the terrible practices that they are trying to get away with.

    it is playable, that is the only positive thing i can say about this game, but the pay-to-win model make it awful to play, i would recomend the first game if you can get it for cheap with all the dlc, otherwise, don't play it

    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.

    Even if it wasn't pay2win the gameplay is just as shallow and dull as battlefront 1.
    The campaign is a 4 hour cliche run in and clear wave after wave **** with the odd cut scene that has facial animations that are as bad as Mass Effect 4.
    1/10 because the game at least looks good.

    To start with I'd like to say how great the gameplay, soundtrack and graphics are. They are amazing ! However the progression system in this game is AWFULL (notice capital letters) and is exactly like that of a free mobile game. Nothing (besides weapons) can be unlocked through gameplay everything else must be obtained via loot boxes (an in-game slot machine) or bought with credits (To start with I'd like to say how great the gameplay, soundtrack and graphics are. They are amazing ! However the progression system in this game is AWFULL (notice capital letters) and is exactly like that of a free mobile game. Nothing (besides weapons) can be unlocked through gameplay everything else must be obtained via loot boxes (an in-game slot machine) or bought with credits ( heroes). The loot boxes are the progression ! This makes unlocking anything both random and unrewarding. To make matters worse the price of these boxes is incredibly high 2000-4000 credits each compared to the meagre (capped) amount of credits you earned at the end of each match.

    However you'll be surprised to find out that buying loot boxes is quite easy during the first 10-20 hours of playing this game and you'll be buying 3to4 crates/hour. This is because your earning extra credits from levelling up and accomplishing various in game challenges but please rest assured that these do run out after some time and you'll find yourself opening 1 crate every 2.5 hours and this starts to make micro transactions so much more appealing. And I hear you saying:
    "But surely, if I play better I'll get more credits at the end of each match so clearly this 1crate/2.5hour doesn't apply to me !".
    Sadly no, the amount of credits you get is solely based on time you spend in game so you literally cannot go any faster. The ONLY way you can accelerate this process is by buying crates with real world money This is crazy ! This is a 60 $ game not a mobile game! This progression system is the worst I've ever seen in a AAA game, its just like a free to play game its been made deliberately unbearable to entice you to spend your money to progress faster. (When I mean unbearably slow I mean about 4500 hours to unlock everything in game at this 1crate/2.5 hours rate)

    "But surely the developers have to make money somewhere if they are to make free DLC like they promised, why should we complain it's a fair deal ?

    Yes, developing a game costs money but there is no need to implement micro transactions this aggressively there are other models that don't ruin the experience for everyone by making progression so slow in order to make you want to pay money to progress faster.

    "Pay money to progress faster ? Is this pay to win ?"

    Well now you mention it... Yes it is ! you can literally pay money to open crates which contain cards which give statistical advantages to you as a player : bigger blast radius for explosives, faster ships, faster fire rate, , slower cool downs on your abilities, longer effect for your abilities, more health, longer range for your abilities, ... etc. You can pay your way to victory. If two players of equal skill face off the one who's invested an extra 100 $ will win.

    For me this is the final blow there are other things I can do with my free time than getting frustrated over a Star wars game that has been tailored to make me fell frustrated enough in order to make me want to pay money in microtransactions AFTER I've paid the the full price tag. This has just left me with a sour taste in my mouth and no desire to actually play the game anymore.

    gameplay 10/10
    graphics 10/10
    sound&music 10/10
    microtransactions & progression 0/10

    It's such a shame but I can't give this more than a 1 simply because it's not fun. It's deeply frustrating in it's current state ! The progression system ruins the entire experience and If it were to be fixed I would buy it without the slightest hesitation.    … Expand

    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?

    If you buy this garbage you're complicit in pushing the gaming industry toward a pay to win future. We didn't take a stand with DLC, we didn't take a stand when loot boxes started appearing in anything, at least take a stand against pay to win.

    Mediocre single-player campaign, decent multiplayer variety and pretty good visuals. Unfortunately it is all brought down by the randomized, greedy, P2W loot crate progression system that is more of an offender than any horrible random "freemium" cash grab mobile game you could ever find in a mobile app store. All in a full priced "AAA game". Such a shame.

    A longtime fan of DICE and their work going as far back to the beginning of the Battlefield franchise. I was legitimately equally excited as a Stars Wars fan as well for this game. Was further excited to hear that content and expansions would as well be free and not lead to the fracturing of the player base as with previous Battlefield titles and the first Titanfall.

    terrible single player campaign, no sense of history progression, I was hoping an empire side of the history but I ended with a rebel one in its place. and the multiplayer well ppl with cards are way more powerful than a normal person,so i'll just be playing Star wars empire at war that is a way superior game.

    unshackled greed ruins what would otherwise be an incredibly fun an polished game. This is disrespectful to gamers and Star Wars alike, and no fan should support this product. The game itself deserves way more than a 1, and that's what make this situation so insulting, EA knows we want this product so they did everything to exploit us, ruining the experience for most people.

Movements are both too heavy and too floaty on each axis. The campaign, which I was so excited about.... is just a few hours long and so disjointed. Hits have little to no impact on NPCs. Goldeneye N64 had better AI. There's about 5 character models for the rebels. I honestly feel remorse for shooting the same Asian female Rebel in the face around every corner. Multiplayer is also so disappointing. Seems to have lost all strategy because gunplay is so poor. I don't understand how they could have messed this game up so badly.… Expand

    Pay2win lootboxes are gambling and should be illegal in video games. Gameplay looks decent but this monetization method is disgusting. I hope when it is all said and done they lose money and other companies take note of what happens when you do this kind of thing.

    Lets cut the crap this game is proof EA don't give a crap about us Gamers and clearly are in the for your money by using the star wars logo, these lootboxes (casinoboxes) are a shady business practice by EA and are designed to suck your wallet dry.
    DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. GAME.!!!!!! speak with your wallets, money talks, show EA enough is enough, we spend 60 USD (or 95 NZD where i live) you took our money what more do you WANT! And if this game is successful, other developers and publishers see this ""success"" they'll think "hey Battlefront 2 did a progression/customization system around Micro-transactions and Gamers brought it so why can't we do it too" and this will create a domino effect for other developers to do the same, which isn't a bright future for gaming.

    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.
