    This is sick psychological manipulation in a full priced game. It takes only one peace of straw to brake the camels back. This has to stop children play star wars games. pay to win and gambling have NO PLACE in a full priced game aimed at adolescents.

    This is a ridiculous game. Not because of graphics, or gameplay, but for EA's decision to include microtransactions on it. It is disgusting and a shame for the Star Wars franchise #RIPLUCASARTS

    Jesus what a mess this game is. Like the third rate mobile games my kids sometimes stumbles upon on their mobiles, and I instantly stear them away from. Crystals, credits, star cards, loot boxes.
    I dont want to have to understand that crap. I really dont. One currency is fine, but three? And next game its new crystals or gems or whatever just in different colors. Its childish and breaks immersion. Every single time. My god! Is it a casino or a shooter?

    Keep it simple, and keep it fair. It cannot be that hard. And it isnt. This is just from greed. I honestly think greed is killing the AAA gaming industry one franchise at the time. In the long run that probably is bad for the share-holders of the companies as well. Not just gamers.

    Stay away from this game people. Things need to change or we will be stuck with slot machines and cards in every single game, genre, time period and from all developers for all times to come.    … Expand

    This does not deserve to be called a classic video game. A more accurate name for this thing is direct deposit into the EA company s account. Not to mention its a gambling system and all of this simply doesn't make up for how "spectacular" the game play might be its utter garbage through an through.

Avoid this game like it is the plague because if you want to do anything in this game you are going to easily be forced to pay well over $400 to make any significant progress or play over 1 year of straight gameplay without turning it off or including losing screens or menus. I highly recommend that you DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT ALL COSTS. This can not be allowed to continue or happen in the future.… Expand

The difference is that here, you get to pay 60 dollars for a luke-warm experience obviously catered to give you just a taste of the good stuff and then force you to pay a premium for the rest. As a game, it's OK. Another Battlefield game in the post Call of Duty for era of gaming. There was a time when every single AAA video game wasn't trying to be a movie, and, in that particular space of the industry, the games were better 10, 15, 20 years ago. Nothing justifies this craven, disrespectful and blatant manipulation of a franchise that millions of people hold dear along with their childhood memories.

    I hope EA is cursed to win worst company in America year after year after year. It would seem that they didn't learn the first two times. This company does not want to give a good product in good faith, they want to make it and sell it to you in disparate pieces. Holding a carrot on a stick like this is the capitalist equivalent of an abusive spouse. When they screw up badly enough, they'll play nice for a month or two, but when they sense any comfort, they'll be stealing money out of your wallet for another "special massage" from some girl named Sha-Dynasty.

The entire blind loot box experience can be compared 1 to 1 with a modern day slot machine in its application of addiction creating and reinforcing psychological techniques: the flashy spectacle and visuals that entertain the player, the obfuscated odds that change without warning, the false wins, and free rolls to trigger dopamine release and continue a perpetual cycle. They can use your playing habits to analyze how frustrated they can make you before you quit and give you a bone right before you do to keep you playing; repeat for as long as possible to give more opportunities for you to spend. This is why slots are the biggest money maker in casinos, and why these greedy parasites are trying to copy them for video games.

    It's also the definition of pay to win. The supertrooper elite bundle straight up makes you the best thing on 2 legs for the foreseeable future because you've got a massive head start (especially now that micro-transactions were disabled). Gear/power based progression has zero place in a competitive multiplayer game. I don't stop playing StarCraft for 3 weeks to come back and get pwned by people who have permanently levelled up their damage or gotten abilities I don't have access to yet.

    Sorry EA, but the defence that "it's not gambling because you always get something out of a loot box" is complete horse crap because a slot machine that pays out less than you put in on every play is still gambling. If it looks like a duck, and acts like a duck, it's a duck.

    Lets also not forget that the single player campaign is hugely buggy, and unfinished. They are withholding the ending of the campaign until The Last Jedi releases to prevent spoilers... which begs the question of why they didn't just wait to release the complete game for the holidays instead.

    If we have to sacrifice Star Wars on the altar of common decency then so be it. This game needs to fail hard to send a message to the entire industry that these disgusting practices will not be permitted to continue. That's coming from a lifelong Star Wars fan that owns basically every Star Wars book ever written.

    As a family focused company, Disney needs to revoke EA's license (or at the very least the exclusivity clause) so we can see someone with actual ethics and love for the IP and its community make a game actually worth supporting.

    I don't think I can stand more of this garbage for 7 more years.    … Expand

    With the award winning 2005 Battle Front 2 being my favorite game that year i was ecstatic about the announcement for this Battle Front 2 (2017) especially after the rushed 2015 Battle Front paled in comparison to it's 2004 counter part in terms of content found in the game. The hope was with more time to develop this latest installment in the franchise could reach the volume of content presented in that original Battle Front 2 game while providing the graphical updates of 4k. Now lets open up the hood and see just what game we got.
    Graphics/Campaign -
    With the graphics and stunning attention to detail Star Wars Battlefront 2 looks like a star wars movie. Dice must again be commended for their efforts especially in the graphical department with this games look. The campaign is sadly unfinished with multiple levels missing from the overall story. All though these campaign missions will be added at a latter date it still is inexcusable to omit them at lunch with the campaign being touted a major selling point of the game. Also multiple bugs have been reported and the game will need some patches to fix these issues. The actual story with Iden Versio starts off in and interesting direction for the series with the first ever main character; Where as in previous installments it was replaying the story of the 501st storm trooper legion as their commander recounts the battles him and his men participated in across both eras. Focusing in on Iden could have provided some more emotional investment but it is instead traded for cameo's from Luke skywalker and other Star Wars characters which is welcome from a game play perspective but from a story perspective it kills the attachment we should be having with our main hero. The Short campaign leaves little time for a believable story to take form and we are left with a plain predictable affair that I simply cant invest myself in. Although the fully rendered cut scenes are also a major improvement from the original in game footage shown in the PS2 days the story does not support the gameplay and flip flop of characters that Dice has chosen to still do. Overall the campaign gets a zero out of ten from me due to it's unfinished state alone. A campaign must be finished at lunch for people who want the game for that reason; you cant ask people to buy something and then force them to wait to actually receive all of it. So if you want Battle Front 2 for it's campaign wait to buy it until it has all been completed and is ready to play. For rural individuals who buy games with campaigns because they have no internet connection this disappointingly will not be a complete experience for you.
    Multiplayer -
    Oh boy what can i say that has not all ready been said. this game is pay to win with contextual gambling elements and absurdly long unlock times for base game players unwilling to pay more money to dominate other players. Pay to win is a zero out of ten from me based on sheer principle alone. The actual Multiplayer would be fun with the inclusion of classes and a points system to unlock heros and vehicles during gameplay by rewarding "better" players instead of randomly like battlefront (2015). This is all for not as success is largely dictated by star cards and your luck with lootcrates or the amount of them you have unlocked with your real world money. These cards provided benefits to a players health, damage, ect and can turn a multiplayer encounter into a simple test of who has the best cards equipped instead of any form of actual skill. All eras are now represented with imperial, Republic, Rebels, CIS, First order, and Resistance all being playable. Ship to ship combat is also here along with other features missing in battle front (2015) bringing it more in line with the content seen in Battle Front 2 (2005). Though not as extensive with gamemodes like galactic conquest still missing, providing non multiplayer players even less reason to pick up the game.
    Final thoughts For those who do not know i rate games by awarding a possible 5 points for Campaign and possible 5 points for multiplayer for a games total possible score of 10. Pay to win is an automatic 0 for multiplayer from me based on principle alone on top of the fact it's not fun or satisfying. lootcates are always a Negative 2 points due to a implementation of random chance that is not necessary, sacrificing fun for a gaming industry business exploit. Card systems are also a negative 1 due to another factor of random chance being introduced for no reason. So Battle Front 2 get a final multiplayer score of zero out of five. An unfinished campaign is an automating zero out of five. I cannot judge something that is not there in it's entirety so i cannot recommend getting it. Dice did a decent job; EA rushed them again and forced micro transactions, lootcrates, cards and pay to win into what would have been a passable game. sadly we got a money making experiment form EA instead    … Expand

    NEEEGAAAATIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE/This isn't a game, it's an illegal gambling system that goes through enough loopholes just to slip past regulations in the U.S. This is ridiculous, and I think that a boycott is in order, and that Congress needs to investigate this matter. Games like Battlefront are literally encouraging kids (and adults) to gamble. Stay far away.

    I am not trying to cry or hate but just stating valid facts. Also, performing well in the multiplayer yields very little credits, so people will just throw the match and end it early for fast credits.....so whats the point of playing and having fun when people are just thorwing the matches because they want to get the loot boxes. This really destroy the whole game for me.

    I had told my friends not to buy until they try it in my place which they did and EA you just lost an additional 11 people who could have bought your game. It doesn't seem much but it all adds up when everyone knows of your exploitation on gamers and young kids with enticing them with using cash to buy loot boxes.

I went in with super low expectations given all the negative press this has been getting, and for the most part I will say I have enjoyed what I've played. I don't think the time it takes to unlock things is too bad, the main issue is you kind of start not caring about unlocking anything.

    And then, I tried multiplayer. It was...OK. At first I got upgrades and whatnot through just playing, and at a decent pace - but not always for the characters I was using. In fact, I got duplicates more often than new cards! And I get a crap amount of credits for the duplicates! Then upgrades slowed to a crawl. Then I got cooldowns.

    Then I kept getting blown away by people who had either A) spent way more time than me playing the game B) knew something I didn't about upgrades or C) bought crystals before EA/DICE/Disney shut them off.

    I wanted so bad to love the game, and instead I've now gotten a refund. I found myself disappointed in the whole experience because it was so...unbalanced. I'm also disappointed because it would take me roughly forever to unlock everything - or spend way more money than I ever intended to.

    I expect pay to win schemes from mobile games. I expect it, so I don't play those. But a game I spent $80 on? WHY DID YOU MAKE IT SO HARD TO LOVE?

    As much as I was looking forward to this game, I won't be re-purchasing it.

And, it's a different constraint for each side, so players can shoot you and you can't reach them because the game will tell you to turn around (this is mostly beneficial to Specialists who snipe). It's an absurd game design that also prevents flanking maneuvers and makes these 20 v 20 battles nothing but funneled, linear, zerg rush like head to head battering rams.

    Welcome to Microtransactions: THE GAME

    This game seems to have started as a free to play mobile game and evolved to a full on AAA title. Sadly, EA decided to leave in every negative aspect of the mobile game world, with microtransactions, loot box gambling for children and wait timers galore.

    It's not made my EA no micro transactions and it inspired the most critically acclaimed anime of all time

    WE DO NOT WANT MICROTRANSACTIONS GONE TEMPORARILY, WE WANT THEM GONE FOREVER
    EA shows again that the dont care about their costumers, they only care about our money.
    Giving us this **** macrotransactions that what only do is ruining a game that could have even a 8 or 9. Hope Disney and Lucas films see what happen here because EA is killing the Star Wars franchise. They should remove not    WE DO NOT WANT MICROTRANSACTIONS GONE TEMPORARILY, WE WANT THEM GONE FOREVER

    Positives:
    - The story, it's amazing. Nothing more to add, I love the idea the story begins immediately as the Death Star explodes.
    - The combat is better this year, slightly but it's an improvement and does feel nice to play. - The attention to detail, graphically this game is beautiful. The sound is also incredible. - The amount of characters you can play with. No better feeling than    Positives:

    - The amount of characters you can play with. No better feeling than going wild with Vader or jumping around the map with Yoda.

    Negatives:
    - The progression system is awful. Simply awful. I have never known something to be so bad. Everything relies on Star Cards, which stem from loot crates and microtransactions (which at this point have been disabled).
    - Loot boxes.
    - Microtransactions (disabled at the moment, but will make a comeback eventually. And they were in to begin with so they deserve to be on here).
    - Only 5 game modes as appose to the previous title. A lot of the better modes are gone. I miss the old title where you would start in space, then fight on the Death Star in an all-out battle. Or Heroes vs Villains where you could really go crazy on the troopers.
    - Arcade is boring.
    - Loot boxes (did I mention those?)
    - EA and DICE have the nerve to charge people full price for half of a game.
    - The story was good, but far too short.
    - Loot boxes.

    This game was a waste of money. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and the older Battlefront games but this is just awful. Loot crates spoil the experience as per usual, the progression system is terrible and the game modes get boring after a few hours. I have hope some of the DLC will make the experience slightly better but this is just bad. I had hope for this, and again, EA have let me down. As have DICE. I just wish producers would understand that nobody likes loot crates that have an affect on how the game plays. Avoid this. At least until all the expansions are out and it's in the $10 sale bin.    … Expand

    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.

    Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
