Nov 15, 2017I realy liked beta. New gameplay its great, but giving you 70€ for nothing? I dont want to play just this game to advance. I think its better if would be seasson pass for 50€ than paying for loot boxes. No buying!
-
Nov 15, 2017This is a Loot Box Simulator. Pure **** Boring game. EA is the worst company ever. Only for money. Pay to win. You pay more than 70€ and you dont have the complete game. Everything is locked and you have to play during hours to GET A **** CRATE!, And craft using coins only found in crates. Etc. Pure crap.
-
Nov 15, 2017I really wanted to enjoy this game but I cant knowing how unfair the online multiplayer is set up. This game is totally set up to be pay to win and this is just a way for EA to milk gamers more. Please no one buy this game and tell your friends to not buy this either.
-
Nov 15, 2017EA is trash. They continue to produce AAA titles with maximum marketing effort and then absolutely **** the bed with implementation always involving micro transactions and increasing levels of Pay to Win as time goes on. I really hope that this game might be the thing to wake folks up and to finally start voting with their wallets.

Nov 16, 2017while the graphics are amazing, the multiplayer is ruined by the fact that it is pay to win. EA has stated that you do not gain a noticeable advantage when opening loot crates with real money. This is far from the truth, multiple star cards affect attributes similar to "aim assist." These advantages should not be in a AAA title.
-
Nov 16, 2017The very embodiment of Pay to win itself. EA has truly suffered from this game - not only will features be locked behind a paywall, but we also won't be falling into the trap of paying for them.
I hope you're happy. EA - it's in the Pay. -
Nov 16, 2017Like an ill-fated case of hemorrhoids, microtransactions have rubbed raw the anus of the gaming community. With EA's gangrenous, malformed hand as its guide, Battlefront II is a red hot iron defiling that already inflamed anus.

Nov 21, 2017I 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.
-
Nov 21, 2017More loot boxes? Funny thing is without EA share prices dropping and without getting a call from the Disney CEO those loot boxes wouldn't have been temporarily been disabled. How dare they tarnish the Star Wars IP in such a way.
-
Nov 22, 2017Jesus Christ, talk about $ $ $. I made an account to specifically warm others about this money grabbing game. one advice ? dont buy. The characters are impossible to unlock without heavy grinding. pay2win to mostly the way to go in the game
-

Nov 22, 2017The gameplay and graphics are pretty good and the plus of a single player campaign was preety nice, but i can not accept a game that makes me pay $60 to have microtransactions that meddles with the online gameplay if it was just cosmetics than it would less infuriating but unfortunely EA wants to push this loot boxes down our troats.
-
Nov 22, 2017
-
Nov 22, 2017To the person who said loot boxes are necessary. Are you mad?!? it's disgraceful. to provide so little in a full price game. it's unheard of in a top tier game. Hasn't it been worked out you would need to spend thousands of pounds to unlock everything. That's MAD.
-
Nov 22, 2017Pretty solid game overall but... Why are there lootboxes in a 60€ game????????? I hope belgium can enforce the microtransactions in Europe, would be a strong signal for AAA companies to stop this nonsense
-
Nov 22, 2017I was really looking forward to buying this game, but I felt sick after the release and the state of the game. A short campaign and pay-to-win system for 60€ is just too much. Thanks for helping me decide if I should get Origin Access, guess what my choice was.
-
Nov 22, 2017Hard to play with friends, not fun to progress unless you wanna spend extra money, which I don't. Just a money grab and a disgrace to an amazing franchise. Just play the old Battlefront II, it has everything you could want, we don't need a new one.
-
Nov 23, 2017Barely legal gambling schemes, lacking single player, broken pay2win multiplayer.
It's a miracle EA thought they would get away with this, just because they slapped a Star Wars license on it. -
Nov 24, 2017Hey, I don't want to see a "pay to pay to win" system in a 60$ game! It destroys all the positive sides of the game, EA fix this situation! Yes , battlefront has very good single player, graphics and atmosphere, but it all doesn't meter because of devil's attitude to players
-
Nov 24, 2017DICE did a pretty good job with the game in overall.
But what EA does continuously, it's unforgivable! Don't buy their games!
My rating goes for EA. Maybe 1/10 is way too generous towards them.
And yes, they changed a few things because the community forced them to, but don't stop there! We can unite to destroy this current cancerous AAA gaming industry.
BOYCOTT EA! -
Nov 24, 2017

Nov 24, 2017This is the worse of the worse. How dare EA milk their product so much to make it even unplayable to its loyal fans? They did this same nonsense to The Sims series and now they dare try to destroyed our beloved Star Wars franchise with this junk.

Nov 24, 2017I hate its greedy way to suck our money and I hope its a message to all the other developers who will try to do their same tricks .you deserve it ea :p XD LOL
-
Nov 24, 2017I love the game and the idea of no DLC, but the loot system is killing the industry, we are already paying for the game. EA should shut down the micro transactions now, in all of his games
-
Nov 25, 2017This is ridiculous to apply micro-transactions to full price game. Too bad that all of your games now becoming the machines for making money... Shame on you EA!
-
Nov 25, 2017Useless pay to play game by EA once again. Don't waste your money even after you have purchased this game you have to keep paying to get the most out of it.
-
Nov 26, 2017If you buy this you are part of the problem. EA hates gamer's like you. They would eat your children if it meant $$$ in their bank accounts.
Boycott EA games and their shady dealings. Ruining gaming for the gamer's! -
Nov 27, 2017Don´t buy this game, no fun in single player, and multiplayer is pay to win. Loot boxes are disabled but will be back after sozial media outrage is over.
-
Nov 28, 2017Not worh it, EA kill SW games with this crap. i hope Disney give the license to a honest company..if they exist. Not buy this game for support to yourself and the game players
-
Nov 14, 2017If You have 60 dollars then just buy battlefront 2 (2005) on PC its only 10 dollars and online is back on there and you can use the other 50 on la noire on switch or some other star wars games on steam
-
Nov 14, 2017Cash grab. AAA games with microtransactions and Pay2Win are the cancer from the gaming industry.
Don't believe the BS that this is only way developers can make this game happen. EA will still profit DOZEN OF MILLIONS with this game sales, and EVEN MORE with microtransactions. -

Nov 15, 2017Unbelievable. I knew this game would have a negative response over the lootboxes, but I never thought thousands of people would give this game a 0 or 1 out of 10. I will play it, just to see what it’s like, despite the lootboxes
However, I still hate EA. Closing down Visceral and mucking up with games like this one and FIFA. -
Nov 15, 2017
-
Nov 16, 2017It's P22W - Pay-Twice-To-Win. It could be great game, but microtransactions made this game pointless. Shame on you! Such actions destroys the whole entertainment market.
-
Nov 15, 2017Battlefront 2 is a good game ruined by bad practice on loot boxes.You simply can not make a micro transaction driven game with a full retail price tag.
-
Nov 16, 2017Pay to play my god is this what gaming is coming to please shot me now an be done with it . Major fail EA I am done with you will never purchase your games ever again. I also plan on trading all my EA games in at gamestop. See ya greedy buggers.
-
Nov 14, 2017Great but short campaign and nice graphics. But progression's affected by the pay to win microtransactions, the multiplayer's just broken and lootboxe system's horrible. Bad experience with this game
-

Nov 14, 2017Set AAA-gaming free from mobile gaming!
Shove your precious lootboxes up your ass, you dirty greedy gluttonous voracious extortionate covetous Electronic Arts! -
Nov 14, 2017Как же меня бомбит,EA. pay to win!? Серьёзно!? Это даже хуже, чем продажа мёртвого разработчика в DLC, как это сделали в Warner Bros.
-
Nov 14, 2017Thank you EA for the Microtransactions, I can’t recommend this game to anyone in the current state. This game disadvantages and discourages newcomers and casual gamers by rewarding those who purchase loot boxes and grind the multiplayer.
-
Nov 14, 2017Электроникам ни в коем случае нельзя показывать, что эта совершенно идиотская система имеет право на существование. Надеюсь, что слухи о тысачах отменённых предзаказах действительно верны. EA зашла слишком далеко.
-
Nov 14, 2017This game has a basic campaign, a pay to win multiplayer, a crappy and greedy company behind, and so many whales wanting to try this glorified casino. Value productions are sky high just like similar games you can play on those proprietary Konami pachinko. 10/10, kids love gambling.
-
Nov 16, 2017Pay to win mess with a $60 startup fee. Zero tolerance for cash grabs. A shame the direction gaming is headed, and we as gamers have to nip this in the bud.
-
Nov 15, 2017
-
Nov 15, 2017We must fight against this wrong tendency of pay2win games. If we will continue buying games like this there will be no game without such system. Never buy it.
(Sorry for my bad english). -
Nov 15, 2017$60-120 cost AAA game with pay-to-win progression system inside, the one lke in worst free mobile games. Your ultimate greed completely ruined this initially beautifull game. Nice work, EA.
-
Nov 15, 2017ЕА уничтожили своими лутбоксами игру с большим потенциалом!!!я так сильно ждал этой игры с момента выхода первой части и тут бац, ЕА как в лужу пернули своей выходкой!!!
-
Nov 16, 2017
-
Nov 25, 2017It's time we as gamers and consumers take a stand and let greedy companies realize this continuing trend of pay to play, then pay some more, is unacceptable.
-
Nov 22, 2017Do not contribute with your money to greedy business models. This game has pay2win mechanics locking content that should be part of the 60usd product. Do not buy. EA YOU **** UP.

Nov 14, 2017Intersectional Feminism, Social Justice AND predatory pay to win mobile game microtransactions!
Could anything possibly be more fun than Star Wars since it was sold to Disney? -
Nov 14, 2017The complete bastardization of a franchise and utter predatory exploitation of its player base. Electronic Fart's opulence is an abominable cancer eviscerating the gaming industry. No more console wars between Xbox or Playstation, the real gamers unite with hatred towards Electronic Farts.
-
Nov 14, 2017Need 5$ to rise score on 1. See DICE, everyone can do like you. Continue making money from us, becouse it's too hard making games without pay2win lootboxes in 2k17!!
-
Nov 14, 2017- Lootboxes
- Broken multiplayer
- Pay-to-win microtransactions
- No experience, no heroes, no weapons, no balance
- Weak campaign
Please don't Buy this game.
0/10 Pay to Win. Microtransactions killed the game.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!!!! -
Nov 14, 2017The game is filled with microtransactions. not only is the game expensive as hell, but also microtransactions? Get out. Also gameplay ain't that good either, very bland on the ground. Space battles are good, however.
-
Nov 21, 2017The last game was awful lazy multiplayer only tripe, now they release this, they have a cash cow with the franchise and man are they willing to milk it. Boycott EA.
-
Nov 17, 2017You can't support a game aimed at children whose primary components are gambling and gunplay. The fact that they've turned off the system until the PR heat cools off is not reassurance enough to ever buy this game.

Nov 29, 2017I bought a PS4 for this?? Micro transactions, season pass "Deluxe " edition? Pay to win mechanics? getting killed and seeing how awesome the upgrades that the person who killed you has so you can see how awesome other people are? No If I wanted a frustrating death simulator I would play PUBG..

Nov 27, 2017After a lot of complaints they took out the loot boxes, only to put them back in later. What a scam! Don't buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 16, 2017I gave it a 1 due to the graphics being good, otherwise I would've looked for the minus 3 rating. The game is completely ruined by greed. I want to have fun and take part in what the game has to offer, but everything feels as if it's locked away behind payments. It all feels incomplete, rushed, and mediocre.
-
Jan 7, 2018I went on Steam to buy the 2005 version of Battlefront 2 just to spite EA..
-
Nov 19, 2017Battlefront 2 is a good game ruined by bad practice on loot boxes.You simply can not make a micro transaction driven game with a full retail price tag. Thanks for ruining a star wars game don't support this crap EA must learn.
-
Nov 16, 2017Glitchy and riddled with predatory micro-transactions. EA should be ashamed of themselves, both for the buggy state the game has launched in, and the predatory business model. Do not buy. Vote with your wallet.
-
Nov 29, 2017EA are a cancer to the games industry they rip people off and do not give a single f*** when you bring this issue up they laugh at everyone who buys the games because they know how bad they really are.

Nov 15, 2017Pay2win 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.
-
Nov 16, 2017
-
Nov 17, 2017Threre is the good game with the horrible monetization. Full price and paying for the gameplay things, not even cosmetics. Nice! Do not follow this "modern" decision. Do not help them to gang us!
-
Nov 17, 2017P2W aspects might still fully be in the game after they re-enable "the ability to purchase crystals in-game at a later date". People should NOT go out and buy the game just because of this statement by EA. A wait and see approach to the statement made is the best course of action at this time.

Dec 2, 2017SO compro outro jogo de star wars se a disney revogar o contrato com a EA games pois esse é um pay to win descarado boicote a microtransação não comprem esse jogo

-
Nov 25, 2017this is what what happens when you kick the hornets nest for an extra buck, enjoy losing the support of your fans and potentially the star wars licence,
ps: good job dice its actually a decent game, if ea didnt piss on it -
Nov 29, 2017
-
Nov 28, 2017it seems i dont have to explain why I give that low score. I hope EA understand that so many people didn't like microtransaction. 60$ is enough. I hope people undertstand that if you keep buying and support this, this trend will never stop. Dice is making a good job and then EA mess this up.
-
Nov 28, 2017
-
Nov 28, 2017The core mechanics of the game are decent at best and do not justify any of the garbage that EA has implemented in the game. Besides that the servers are trash so even if you were willing to look past Battle Fronts errors you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy the multiplayer experience as it would most likely be too laggy.
-
Nov 29, 2017Es un pay to win, estás políticas abusivas de EA con sus micropagos son un abuso hacia el consumidor. Además es una manera de apostar ya que sus cajas son de contenido aleatorio. No recomendado.
-
Nov 29, 2017An absolute travesty of loot box ridden p2w cr@p.
A FULL PRICED game with a f2p gambling upgrade system slapped into it, literally gaming cancer that should be avoided at all costs.
The corrupt "critic" reviewers should hang their heads in shame over giving this pos anything higher than a 3, they are letting the public down by not acknowledging what BS this is. -

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.
