    A criminal enterprise targeting children. If I or you were to run an online casino without a licence we would be imprisoned for decades. At EA they made the loot box inventor (FIFA 2005) the current CEO. Yet more vast evidence of a global 2 tiered "Justice" system that threatens human civilization with tyranny, or rather defacto slavery.

    The mechanics of leveling in this Star Wars game are either the product of the warped doctrine of the Sith, or their real world parallel - Imperial American Corporate Fascism. The Holocaust itself was a smash and grab to generate maximum profits, humanity be damned. This "game" is the product of the same reprobate degenerate philosophy. It is at it's core political propaganda that Capital concentrations of the Olegarchy trump the Public or Democracy. Wealth insures tyranny. The Emperor would be very pleased with EA's CEO being a faithful servant of power.

    4) playing as a pilot in Galactic Assault gives you hell of a lot points and it has problems with kills counting, you'll never get so many points as a trooper, even playing objectives.
    5) lootboxes - game rewards you with special boxes for (for example) playing 150 minutes as an officer and when you open it, turns out you get some useless gray sh*t;
    6) the only mode worth playing to me is Starfighter Assault.
    7) game modes - wtf... no modes like capture the flag or objective orientated ones (i know there are objectives, but come on it's always defend or attack sth)
    8) Maps shuffling - 8/10 times I start Galactic Assault it puts I'm in beta Naboo map. For ~30 games i was on Hoth once!
    9) Arcade mode split-screen only... another huge step back. What is that? 1990?

    I know these are problems that can be resolved later on, but come on devs, play the damn thing before you release it.

    while 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.

    The 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.

    Like 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.

    EA has ruined the Star Wars genre. My 11 year old son wanted the game but I refuse to buy a game with micro-transactions. The game is already $60, why try to squeeze more money out of us? I should not have to spend extra money on a game for my son to remain competitive.

    People, believe me on this: I purchased the Deluxe edition, got into the game and was welcomed with 4 lootboxes that gave me IMMEDIATE advantages over other players. And guess what? It still didn't matter because other people had purchased even more lootboxes besides the free ones and on my very first match I was obliterated with no chance of fighting back and there was a Luke Skywalker roaming when he still costed 60.000 credits.

    On my second match, the situation reversed: players had no cards and I was almost impossible to beat. 1 v 1 or 2 v 1 I always dominated. That is when I drew the line about the unfairness: refunded my copy and said goodbye to this trash forever.

    Do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy this game and do not support this kind of business behavior.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefront 2 Electric Boogaloo

    Campaign

    -Writing

    Campaign was a boring lazily written mess that tries to tie the loose knot that’s is the post Return of the Jedi era to the new The Force Awakens era I expected a lot perhaps too much out of the story since it’s writer was the same writer behind the brilliant “Spec Ops: The Line” but writing wise this game is a huge disappointment.

    -Protagonist

    This game tried to implement a new character into the Star Wars timeline by the name of Iden Versio and it FAILED. The inferno squad as a whole is a great addition to the Star Wars timeline but Iden Versio just feels boring. I’m sorry, but the beats you expect her to hit...she hits and it feels like the writing team didn’t spend much time on making her a great character. Disappointed that they sucked the life out of what could’ve been an awesome female role. I don’t blame the actress I blame what she had to work with.

    -Story

    You know recently I replayed Star Wars the force unleashed 2 and I actually had more fun on there than I did with this story. Guys lighten up a bit have fun with the universe a little. So yes Story is once again B O R I N G. I feel that if more time was spent on this campaign it would’ve been better but the short campaign was a disappointment in fact the only short campaign of recent years that I loved was Titanfall 2’s campaign.

    Graphics

    Duh, you know they’re good.

    Gameplay

    Gameplay needs a bit of tweaking because although it has improvements that make it slightly different from Battlefront (2015) (that’s a good thing) it still feels a bit amateurish and lacking in depth. I hope this can be rectified with future updates or in later sequels.

    Multiplayer

    -LOOTBOXES (Stay away from the game until they fix this)

    Ah yes the backbone of this game the reason the majority of players are buying this game. Well it’s disappointing, see I feel like leveling up is a hell of a grind that kind of forces you to buy lootboxes , once again you don’t have to, but leveling up feels somewhat slow so I understand the public’s concern with this game especially in the lootbox department. It’s a thing that no matter how much it’s tweaked it’s built into the pillar of this game, it’s tied directly into the leveling up system. I feel like if they removed any and all star cards from the crates and purely input cosmetic items in there all would be good and dandy but considering how closely it’s tied into the leveling up system it’s going to be a problem until they remove cards, weapons, and anything that will grant the player with advantages from crates.

    -Modes

    Modes are lacking but they’re decent, they’re all basic copies of modes you’ve seen before in games like Battlefield or Call of Duty, the great exception to this is hero vs villains which is great in my opinion.

    -Maps

    Maps are well made from what I can tell but the community has its concerns with a few maps that feel unbalanced in gameplay and I’ll leave that up to the developers to fix.

    Overall

    Overall Battlefront 2 has a monotonous story mode campaign that contains one of the most boring people in the Star Wars galaxy and I wish her drone was the main character instead of her, it looks good and certain sections of it are fun especially the Kylo section. I’d rate campaign a 2/10 such a huge disappointment from what I anticipated to be one of the most well written campaigns in such a long time. Multiplayer has a lack of modes and maps (which will soon get fixed with its free dlc) two stand out modes being “Starfighter Assault” and “Heroes Vs Villains” and the other modes are completely boring. Gunplay feels amateurish. Lootboxes are a problem. Overall for multiplayer I have to rate it a 4/10 I expect better work from Dice considering their fantastic work on the battlefield series.

The story mode is about 4 hours long with about 30 minutes that I actually enjoyed. Dice and EA came out and showed us how there was going to be a story and how they listened and how they should be commemorated for that. NO the first one should have had a campaign and this one should have a campaign double the length that it actually had. The story and dialogue of the campaign is extremely predictable and could have been written by a fifth grader. The MP aspect could have been fun. the foundation was laid out for this to be a fun game. But EA decided that they wanted billions of dollars so they added this terrible system for star cards. You know whats just great, I get to see every time I die how good of star cards the other person has. I will go into a fight where I clearly should have won but nope they bought the ultimate edition so I lost because of a dumb epic star card. And by the way why are people buying the ultimate edition, why are people even buying these games at all. When I hit confirm purchase I felt like I was commiting a crime. It felt like I was doing something evil by giving money to the mess that is EA. I would advise no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to ever buy this game. I will not be buying another EA game until they stop being greedy bastards.

Squads are loose, so you're never with the same people even during a match. The majority of the maps, or at least the objects, are in such a small arena style, that when you have a lot of players all smashed into one place, it's just a complete mess. Most people just throw themselves at the point hoping for the best and flooding back with respawns until the defense breaks. Almost everything revolves around that you and you alone are what's important in each battle, as opposed to promoting teamwork and squad play. There also appears to be very little anti-cheat, as I saw very blatant aimbots consistently. It's also has some bad gameplay decisions, such as the game resetting your chosen class every time you respawn, so you have to go out of your way to pick your class again or you spawn in as assault. I'd give it a 5 overall for gameplay. However, a few points lost over the requirement to continue to pay money just to progress (it's considered a requirement if you cannot earn those same rewards ingame WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. Throwing in something that takes an unrealistic and nearly unobtainable...if not obtainable at all, amount of hours to unlock just so you can claim you don't "have" to pay...still means you have to pay...don't play the "well TECHNICALLY..." game, devs We live in the real world).

    Overall, the art is great. The special unit spawn is much better in BF2 than in BF1 (no longer based on pickups). The gameplay is very bland and uninspiring. There is little to no teamwork involved...and even if you want to work as a team, you're assigned to a new squad every respawn, so there's no consistency. I've literally been in matches where your objective is to run from point a to point b with an item. With the maps how small they are, you only have to run a very small distance, and the match is over within 2 to 3 minutes. Battlefront 2 often has you asking yourself, "What was the point in that?"

    I cannot recommend.

The grind is ridiculous and unless you are willing to part with lots more cash it'll take a punishing amount of time to unlock said characters.

    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.
