    Unlike the other spam of negative reviews, I will be reviewing the actual game itself, rather than just attacking a loot box system that has been in other games previously that have ALSO had season passes, yet this one gets attacked. They have actively resolved the majority of loot box issues which is nice. Anyways, here are my first impressions.

They have actively resolved the majority of loot box issues which is nice. Anyways, here are my first impressions.

    -CAMPAIGN-
    The first three missions available in the EA access trial (which is what I have currently until the game releases) are fantastic. The AI is great, the characters are believable and for once the game makes you truly dispise the rebellion. This is a new take on the theme of Star Wars and I thank Dice so much for giving us this breath of fresh air. I will update when I finish the game entirely when it comes out.
    -MULTIPLAYER-
    Dice have done a fantastic job in creating an authentic Star Wars battle experience, thanks to the refreshing return to class based combat. The vehicles also all handle well and the heroes are much more fleshed out, despite the heavily controversial unlocking process (they have addressed this, so stop complaining). The maps are all fantastic and I can’t wait to see the rest. I have currently played on Naboo, Takodana and Fondor and I can safely say that they are all fair and well detailed, thought out maps. The gunplay is once again fantastic and I thank dice once again for addressing previous issues with gunplay etc.
    -ARCADE-
    This for me feels like where the game is lacking. It needs to have the large scale battles of multiplayer in split screen, similar to the skirmish mode of the previous. It feels so tacked in with only battles against bots, with seemingly no objective. While it is still appreciated it DEFINITELY needs more attention.
    -VERDICT-
    Battlefront 2 is a fantastic reimagining of the battlefront series, and while the loot box system is still total aids, you cannot deny the amount of polish this game has, how well it plays, and how Dice have taken extra steps to resolve virtually any issue that comes up.
    I give Battlefront 2 currently an 8/10.    … Expand

    Basically, another game like EA prefer make this. They rather the multiplayer than the history. If the multiplayer is bad due to the amount of microtransactions imagine the history. It's horrible OMG. The unique salvable aspect is the graphics (because the motor is Unreal Engine) and dialogue.

Quitando todas las polémicas con respecto a las micro transacciones que tuvo el juego en su salida y luego se solucionaron, el juego ha sido finalmente abandonado por EA y quedando en el olvido (es verdad que los primeros meses se añadieron personajes, mapas y contenido nuevo). La jugabilidad de este shooter es bastante buena, además de los modos de juego que no están nada mal. La música es propia de Star Wars (por lo que es buenísima) y el apartado artístico es correcto. Cabe destacar que la historia me gustó mucho y se la recomiendo a todos los fans de Star Wars. El problema radica en que actualmente no hay soporte del juego, por lo que hay hackers en todas las partidas, y en que no hay absolutamente ningún objetivo que te incentive a jugar. Aun así el juego no está nada mal, pero a día de hoy no lo puedo recomendar debido a estos problemas en el multijugador. 7,3/10

    I didn't play at its realese, but the game is defenetly better than his predessesor. All the eras are present as well as their characters. They did add a single player mode but it was pretty bad.
    Solid multiplayer, but that still not it.

    Çabuk sıktı. Hikaye oynanış kısmı Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gibi değildi. Online kısmı ise bir hayli sıktı diyebilirim.

    Battlefront pulled a No Man's Sky, The Rise of Battlefront was caused by tremendous updates and work by DICE. It's a shame they stopped there short run of slam dunks. The game is super underrated, it's polished and is very fun. I highly recommend this game, given that it's on sale a lot. If you are fan of star wars, you should give it a shot.

    I came into this game in early 2023 so my experience included no microtransactions, no lootboxes, or really any kind of dirty tricks (at least from what I've experienced). I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

    Since I wasn't jaded by from launch, I came into this game really with a neutral perspective; a star wars fan that loved the original Battlefront II and wanted to experience something like it but technically superior. Fortunately, I got just that: a technically superior Battlefront 2 with more features and things to do.

    That's not to say I don't have a few complaints (which I'll get into in a bit) but from my experience with the game, the good far outweighed the bad and I've loved playing this game in several different modes. It did take some time to adjust to slightly different controls and character-specific abilities but once I did through the main story and battle scenarios, I felt prepared enough to enjoy the general game modes.

    The story/main campaign I felt was pretty solid. I see where some criticisms come from of the story being thinly-written and skeletal in its approach. I think the criticisms of the story being terrible are not fair however. I grew to like all the characters and felt the ending was quite epic in every way. I just think Iden's character arc could've been a bit more fleshed out in the middle for her story to have a better impact. The structure for a great story was absolutely there but it ended up being just good. Better development could've made it truly great.

    My main complaints on the game had to do with a couple of performance issues that I experienced in the main story. On the Luke Skywalker mission I spawned in and fell right through the map. Didn't even do anything just fell right through into oblivion until I restarted the mission. On the royalty mission, when I eliminated the storm troppers they all started just floating around like they were in space and when you're eliminating that many troopers, it just looks hilarious seeing a hundred dead troopers just floating like balloons on Naboo. Fortunately, I never experienced anything like this again and still haven't. I've seen some frame-rate dips here and there but generally the performance is great despite those 2 awful experiences.

    Besides the couple of technical issues and the story not being as fleshed out as I wanted, I've had a lot of fun with the game and it's been exactly what I wanted. If some of these user reviewers were intellectually honest and wanted to review bomb a game to get EA to change, they would acknowledge the course correction and change their review to actually reflect the game's current quality instead of just blindly wage a hate war on EA. The game is great and deserves a lot more love now and props to DICE and EA for fixing the old mistakes and making a better game.    … Expand

    Don't know why people dislike this game for me it was an improvement over the last game in terms of characters added and offline content. The story for me is good enough for me but the real improvement is the multiplayer as with more characters the game is addicting and fun to enjoy. For people on the borderline of which Battlefront game to buy this is the one.

    The online part is great and all, but for some reason it's missing some of main characters from the new movies like for example Poe Dameron (yes I know you get to fly his X-Wing) , Cassian Andor, K-2SO, Chirrut Înwe, Baze Malvus, Qi' ra, Tobias Beckett, L3-37 to name a few so you get my point.

Why are those characters are not in the game? Is a good question. Cause I thought that Lucasfilm owns the rights of the actor likeness so they can continue using those characters in futures games so they don't have to pay the actors every time they wanted to use that character.

    This game is doing the same cliche. You get a character that is on the other side of the band and then during the third act finds that his/her actions are doing more hurting than good. It's so difficult to have a character to stay on his believes through the end of the game? That's my main critic of the story.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    uno de los peores juegos de la saga, no sabian que rumbo darle, y las pantallas están bastante limitadas, que yo creo en mi experiencia que deberían de ser mucho mas entretenido para un jugador y no enfocarse tanto en el multijugador

    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.
