Nov 21, 2017This needs to be renamed to “EA STEALS FROM YOUR WALLET!” Actually no, this game needs to be removed. #GetRidOfBattlefront2 Say it with me, get rid of this gambling system! #GetRidOfBattlefront2
-
Nov 18, 2017A failed game ..
The story is short and not beautiful.
You can't play with all the characters, you have to buy the characters to open them.
Most things in the game require cash ..
"A failed game with a miserable story and a great support to buy within the game" -
Nov 16, 2017I feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by not buying this game. EA ruins everything it touches honestly. I still hate you for getting rid of westwood and destroying the C&C franchise. Pathetic!

Nov 20, 2017WTF EA!!! You should be friendly with the customer, not a totally dick who is **** with lootboxes. Screw up and make good games next time. Stop ruining studios with talent.
-
Nov 17, 2017And yes, by the way, i DO have a Star Wars™ Battlefront™ 2 tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the Twi'leks’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 60,000 credits of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel armchair developer :sunglasses:

Nov 16, 2017Screw EA
Screw Loot boxes
Screw Pay-to-Win games
Screw locking main characters behind a pay wall
And Screw EA again
I will give 1 point just because it's Star Wars. -
Nov 16, 2017Could have been one of the best games of the year until they added the bull loot crates that completely unbalance the game. No respect for EA. Unfortunately they'll be rewarded by whales who will give them all the money.
-
Nov 18, 2017Your easiest way to spend your money. So sad this game owns a "Star Wars" name. I am sure that they have paid huge amounts to Metacritic to set up a good review score. That's really sad.
-
Nov 18, 2017This game is designed specifically to exploit and prey on Star Wars fans. It literally hopes you will trust the Disney brand and blindly fall into it's gambling pit before you realise how badly hidden the spikes at the bottom are. Disgusting, avoid like the plague.
-
Nov 17, 2017Overall: A great game if you also happen to enjoy casinos.
Gameplay: Fun, fast-paced, exciting
Visuals: Great! The world is immersive and really takes you to the places in the SW universe.
Sound Design: Perfect.
The team at Dice really outdid themselves. If it wasn't for EA trying to suck each and every last dollar out of their customers, this game might have actually done well. -
Nov 21, 2017don't buy lootbox simulator, what EA is doing is complete garbage, we can't accept those types of gambling system to be our only way of progression, the only way to send the message is just don't buy their product
-
Nov 17, 2017I am not a giant **** with a wallet stapled to it. You have completely lost touch with your customers. I will not support any paid game with loot crates other than cosmetic.
Get a grip EA. You and WB games can both go down in flames. -

Nov 18, 2017The worst pile of microtransaction trash the world has seen to this date.
If you are eager enough to rid yourself of money, consider donating to cancer reaserch instead
The game from 2005 is better anyways -
Nov 21, 2017This game is the definition of garbage.Micro-transactions;lootboxes,you need to pay over 2000 dollars or invest hundreds of in game hours.And the campaign is way too short.I am so amazed.EA: Please leave this Planet.

Nov 14, 2017This game costs £50 / $60. It includes FTP style micro-transactions and encourages gambling. This is not a video game worth your time, it is an addict-geared cash grab aimed at rinsing its consumer base for as much money as possible. Disney and EA are promoting gambling to children. Congratulations, you horribly greedy corporate wankers.

Nov 14, 2017Random items in loot boxes/crates should not dictate the progress I make in a game. My performance is what should dictate the progress I make in the game. What incentives are there to get better? Anyone can just grind for credits....
-
Nov 15, 2017
-
Nov 16, 2017If a free-to-play model is being used, the core game should be free. Triple-A games are moving away from being "games of skill" to being "games of chance" or "pay to win". This is sad.
-
Nov 16, 2017Basically a pay to win game.
EA, your greed has gone too far. You've managed to ruin Mass Effect and run BioWare into the ground. Now you release a Star Wars game with content behind a paywall?! Sorry, but I cannot support this. -
Nov 24, 2017
-
Nov 16, 2017Say NO to Pay To WIN.
Don't buy this game.
EA, if you want to create loot boxes, then do it only for cosmetic changes.
I can't understand extra HP, extra Damage in Loot boxes.
And one more thing. Removing button of refund, this is over my level of understanding. That was the frontier. -
Nov 14, 2017Thank you EA for the Microtransactions. Thank you for people as me with Job, Uni or Family we need to play so many hours to achieve for what we have paid for.
-
Nov 15, 2017Нельзя завязывать игру формата Pay2Play на донат.
Хотелось больше золота, но жадность фраера сгубила.
ЕА получает заслуженную номинацию "Фейл года". -
Nov 16, 2017Pay to win is the death of games. If this continues, this game will be remembered as the beginning of the true death of the customer. EA is a gross, greedy monster that needs to be destroyed. Boycott this game to ensure they change their ways in the future.
-
Nov 16, 2017
-
Nov 16, 2017The way EA is willing to take money from players is just disgusting. That crazy micro transaction system killed this game, which is not perfect by the way.
-
Nov 16, 2017Star Wars Battlefront II aims to become your religion assuming you feel the only way you can find happiness is to throw money in their offertory every week until you die or they find a bigger pot to accept donations. I believe you will find your money just as well spent on the diety you were raised to praise. Let's hope EA has a better track record with minors than the clergy.
-
Nov 16, 2017My favorite franchise ruined by EAs greed. What else have they ruined??? The NFL, command and conquer, need for speed, mass effect...I know there is more.
-
Nov 16, 2017Buggy POS. I have played mobile games with less bugs/issues than this 'AAA' garbage. Do yourself a favor and buy the switch along with super Mario odyssey, life will be better, trust me. Let us all pray that EA will burn in hell, amen.
-
Nov 16, 2017This game has potential, but tying micro-transactions to progression is absolutely garbage. The campaign is actually good, it's a shame that you need to put in another $100 to be competitive in multiplayer. Can't believe EA is doing this to Star Wars.
-
Nov 17, 2017One of the worst games ever made. Don't trust the reviews made by the Critics. **** EA. I am sick and tired of these terrible companies making it so hard to have fun. I hope the developers lose their jobs in all honesty. Bunch of *******.
-
Nov 14, 2017its a fun game once again ruined by EA's corporate greed they dont care for the consumer, or anyone at all. they only care for the 3 numbers on the back of your card
-
Nov 14, 2017Absolutely horrible, this is perhaps the worst game of this decade, yes, even worse than Ride To Hell: Retribution.
EA is worse than Nazism and Comunism combined. -

Nov 17, 2017We not allowed PAY TO WIN model in a $60,$70,$99 or wathever not free to play game...EA say is an PAY TO FAST **** IS PAI TO WIN, PAI TO WIN....no more and no less, good bye BATTLEFRON 2 , you screw all DICE work in hand of an evil corporate call EA..
-
Nov 18, 2017EA is going to bring back microtransactions again, this is another scam. 60 usd priced game with the amount of microtransactions that you spect from an android game.
-
Nov 22, 2017Massively grindy. Even after the 75% reduction they offset that by making rewards in single player far less. EA doesn't give a damn about feedback from its consumers. The only reason they "temporarily" removed microtransactions is because Disney made them do it. Don't buy this game. Screw EA.
-
Nov 19, 2017I canceled my pre-order and will NOT buy it until they agree to have access to most if not all of the game. Folks vote with your wallet! Send a message to EA!
-

Nov 24, 2017What a boring game. The campaign is lacklustre and predictable and the multiplayer is hidden behind a paywall. 0/10 is an extremely generous score for this horrible game.
-

Nov 17, 2017a free to play game with a $60 entry price, **** this game and EA
I hope this to fail really hard at sales. **** you ea you ****ing greedy pieces of **** -
Nov 17, 2017I didnt buy it and i didnt play it , but i give it 0 because of IAPs , premium games must not have IAPs , if u want money , ok . Make ur games free then rob us .... until then i will give 0 to every premium games that have IAPs

Bad PR
'official' Metacritic reviews praising this game to no end
DO NOT BUY. -
Nov 17, 2017Don't let your kids play this, the game is basically a gambling system made to be pay 2 win. It's despicable what is allowed. The graphics are good, but that's it, the campaign is terrible, the multiplayer gets boring really fast, and get ready to die 24/7 unless you want to spend some major $$ on it..
-
Nov 20, 2017Boycott this game and send a clear message!
Microtransactions are a feature we must not allow to appear in any games from now on. There is no valid justification for them, at least not for a full priced AAA game like this. Period. -
Nov 20, 2017They managed to take all the fun away from a game that could have made game of the year. As players can basically buy progression rewards with real money, any sense of satisfaction is completely taken away from the regular players.
The pinnacle of corporate greed has struck, and it completely ruined the experience. -
Nov 17, 2017DO NOY BUY
Gambling system
Freemium progression system
Preorder bonuses
Bad campaign
The lootboxes would be kinda ok if they would give only cosmetic items, or some kind of xpboost. But when it's pay2win, nahhh, i will not support it. -
Nov 17, 20174500 hs para desbloquear el contenido... O pagar 2 mil dolares... JA JA JA JA! Segui asi EA...
ASi te va a ir. Me dan nauseas, asco y sigo llenando caracteres. -
Nov 20, 2017Damn shame what's happened to one of the finest video game series in history. You will be missed Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2... the real ones... I hope some day we really do have a successor to your legacy.
-
Nov 17, 2017Juego lastrado por sus malas políticas, no lo compren ni a 1usd, que si apoyamos éstas políticas nuestro hobbie desaparecerá. El juego en sí no es malo, pero su pay to win descarado anula la experiencia satisfactoria de jugarlo.
-
Nov 20, 2017

Nov 24, 2017This not a $60 game. This is a $2100 game. You'll have to spend this much cash just to unlock the content of the base game. This does not include and future content in the $eason pa$$. This is a joke and a stickup. EA is literally trying to mug gamers by microtransaction assault.
-
Nov 18, 2017Its outrageous how EA have so little respect for their clients.
This is the first game of EA i will not buy and many more will follow until they stop their bull crap with microtransactions. The only in game items that could be offered like that should be COSMETIC items and never after a full retail AAA game price.
GG Electronic arts you did it this time. -
Nov 20, 2017As much as I'd love to play this I can't justify giving money to EA. I love Star Wars but this game has to be a failure. I never want to see this kind of crap again from any publisher.
-
Dec 6, 2017EA & DICE don't give a sh*t about this game if its good or not, they know that they're alot of people who are addicted with "lootboxes"... its definitely a "Pay to Win" situation here... I just hope EA gets cancer...
-
Nov 29, 2017This game was made with two people in mind. the rich and the unemployed. While every one can enjoy a decent game very few will get their moneys worth out of this one.
-
Nov 17, 2017Full of bugs, now that the microtransactions are gone there is no way to progress in the game, shows how fundamental the lootboxes are to unlock anything. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID!
-
Nov 17, 2017
-
Nov 24, 2017From this day on any game that says it has anything to do with EA I will not purchase. Any game at all, even if Mario becomes some how part of EA I will not buy a Mario game made by EA. Well done you guys managed to kill, what could have been the best game of all times.
-
Nov 17, 2017Pay to win microtransactions isn't ok and EA need to learn this isn't ok. Please don't buy the game EA need to learn that this isn't ok and will never be ok
-
Nov 25, 201760 bucks for a triple A game is all we want, no pay walls, no lootboxes, no greedy ass publisher 's trying to milk us for more money. Really hope Disney takes away your Star wars license . RIP EA, next time , that is if there is a next time? Really need to listen to the money holders, We ARE **** the cat, you dumbass Publisher 's are holding the tail, never forget that.
-
Nov 25, 2017
-
Nov 19, 2017I'm absolutely disgusted by EA and EA DICE. It seems as if they developed this game with the sole intention of providing a product that would continue to milk our money long after it was released. Isn't this pure evil?
-
Nov 24, 2017In the old days, games were a fun distraction from the woes of inequality that endured outside... Now, even in our entertainment, the poor fall under the heel of the rich as greed becomes the only game being played.
-
Nov 24, 2017EA the only company who can't make a successful Star Wars product at the height of hype.
Disney has to step in and take it away from them.....I want a real Battle Front and a single player Star Wars game from a developer that CARES! -
Nov 19, 2017Настоящий плевок в лицо не только фанату звездных воин, но и любому геймеру. Анальный донат который убил всё хорошее, что было у батлфронта. Рвотный порошок! Ни в коем случае не брать этот мусор!
-
Nov 18, 2017Lootbox method should be banned, why not pay for in game currency, that use that in game currency to buy cosmetic. And heroes should not purchasable, but rentable, by not in game currency but. In game point that anyone can only get that by killing enemies. Thats the sense of pride and why overwatch could get away from it?
-
Nov 14, 2017it 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
-
Nov 17, 2017
-
Nov 16, 2017Pay to win garbage, stop buying this crap! Remember when AAA games cost 59.99 and you would get all of the content? Now you need 69.99 game, plus online subscription, plus season pass, plus microtransactions. This is only going to stop if you stop giving in and stop buying into this trash.

Nov 17, 2017Absolutely horrible. Its a shame what EA (and Dice) have done with a wonderful franchise. Whilst the gameplay may be decent the game is spoiled by a microtransaction system that will make you want to return the game after a few hours in. We must take a stand!
-
Nov 17, 2017
-
Nov 17, 2017This is like selling a GTX 1080ti but only having 1GB of GDDR5X ram and saying that you need to unlock it for an extra $2000. In short: this game attempts to benefit too much off countless stupid micro-transactions (and expensive ones too.)

Playstation Official Magazine UKFeb 6, 2018Excellent 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]
-
Jan 21, 2018Star 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.
-
Dec 29, 2017Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
