Nov 15, 2017Mediocre single-player campaign, decent multiplayer variety and pretty good visuals. Unfortunately it is all brought down by the randomized, greedy, P2W loot crate progression system that is more of an offender than any horrible random "freemium" cash grab mobile game you could ever find in a mobile app store. All in a full priced "AAA game". Such a shame.
-
Nov 16, 2017the game itself is good, but the micro-transactions ruined everything, the video game industry is getting worse day by day because of this, we as consumers must stop and not buy games of this type of practices. EA just want our money.

Nov 16, 2017Es un juego con una calidad visual sorprendente, sin embargo el sistema de progresión nefasto como también, no vuelvo a comprar un juego CARO! de salida y que aparte me pide mas dinero para obtenerlo completo, la verdad este tipo de juegos ya estan dejando mucho que desear y estan matando a la industria del GAming, en verdad no lo compren! hasta que las politicas de EA cambien.

Nov 18, 2017Once again EA **** it up with their corporate greed. A $60 AAA game with free-to-play mobile-esque microtransactions and lootboxes.
Completely unacceptable for a full-priced game. -

Nov 18, 2017DO NOT Trust ANYTHING EA is saying they cant stop milking everyhting they see!!!!!! I DO Not recommend Battlefront 2 in its CURRENT state so please stay away from it or at least do not buy a SINGLE one of their Trash Lootcrates. Thank yoU!

Dec 2, 2017Lootboxes kill the soul of game design.
I suggest not only boycotting the game, but also a film. When the rights to Star Wars will be taken away from EA, then we will see a decent game.
Hit the wallet. -
Nov 20, 20179 hours per Star Card,approximately £2,300 or 6 months of near continuous playing to get all of the content you already paid for. Please do not buy this game.
-
Nov 20, 2017Dice made such a great game and then ea **** all over it. It is completely built around pay to wind mechanics... even character progression only happens through lootboxes and starcards. And them turning off all the micro transactions doesnt change that in the slightest. they did that for pr and day one sales
-
Nov 21, 2017This game represents everything wrong with modern gaming. EA are greedy, and their business practices are repulsive. Please, support our hobby by not supporting this game.
-
Nov 21, 2017Good game considering the gameplay and graphics. (Good job DICE) But EA ruined it completely. AAA Game that feels like a cheap f2p mobile game!!! And btw guys you can actually give 0 rating here, so why give it even 1?

Nov 22, 2017Complete garbage. Don't buy if you value your money and your pride. Nothing at all could be more insulting than a developer and publisher gouging a fanbase after already buying a full product.
-
Nov 24, 2017After all the controversy surrounding this game, its a real shame to see the effort the artists and coders have put in go to waste
I have to commend the work put in as the game looks good visually stunning (apart from Luke Skywalkers FACE!)
But yeah shame on EA... This kind of loot crate system and unfinished storyline should be stopped -
Nov 23, 2017Pay 2 win for 60 Dollars that is unbelievable. EA should not get away with this. What a horrible way to treat the consumer. The only industry that supports such poor costumer service is the gaming industry.
-
Nov 24, 2017Have to say, this game was giving a lkt of hope to players until its release. Its a let down, honestly. EA really dropped the ball. Spend your money elsewhere, untill they're able to shell out a more consumable product.

Mar 31, 2018EA's masterpiece: pay real money if you wish to win. Disgusting, I really hope EA closes down. worse game ever.
-
Nov 29, 2017DO NOT BUY! It's a trap. It's a crap.
EA CFO Blake Jorgensen says:
"We're not giving up on the notion of MTX"
"(...) Some people have more time than money, and some people have more money than time. You want to always balance those two."
Face palm... -

-EA CFO Blake Jorgensen
I value both my time and my money and EA is just a gaming tyrant at this point with ideologies like this. -
Nov 30, 2017my opinion on this game is nowhere near positive. Absolute trash. Trashier than the dump. This game is so bad it wasn't allowed into hell. lol lolollolololol
-
Nov 30, 2017pay2win , не покупайте игру , лутбоксы влияют на баланс игры жестко , заплати 60 баксов а потом соси лапу) ладно если-бы игра была бесплатно то лутбоксы тогда еще можно было простить , но она стоит 60-100 баксов. =/

Nov 30, 2017the campaign isn't the best and lacks development, though i have heard they will add more to it later with DLC. But knowing EA people will likely have to cough up another 70 dollars for that let alone pay to win.
This game isn't battlefront 2. Battlefront 2 came out over ten years ago. this game should be better known as star wars: **** you front 2 -

Dec 1, 2017The only game where tying a rubber band around your analog sticks to run in a circle is a viable means of progression that still fills the player with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment.
-
Dec 1, 2017To keep it short, I refuse to buy this game. The game gets a 0 because of EA deliberately trying to enforce a super heavy pay to win system in an $80 game. I have no respect for this practice, and I'm not playing the game if I'm going to be treated as a 24/7 customer instead of a player.
You keep buying into this practice, and EA will soon charge you for individual save files. -

-
Jan 10, 2018Thanks EA , you just ruined the game with terrible loot boxes and microtransactions
-
Dec 3, 2017This is literally the worst game I've ever played. It's complete trash, campaign is like 3 hours long with a TERRIBLE story that bores you to death. Online sucks as usual, just buy call of duty if that's what you're after. Returned it the next day I purchased it. DO NOT BUY.
-
Dec 4, 2017how could they make a game with less content than a 2005 game rly. less maps, less heroes, worse story... make a kotor 3 instead of this trash, cant believe i paid for this
-
Dec 4, 2017Si quieres una experiencia de juego completa, y realmente pasarla bien. El precio que tendrás que pagar mínimo serán 300 Dolares (Juego + Loot Boxes). EA = Usura en su máxima expresión

Dec 7, 2017They get 1 point because graphics and sound are great. Everything else is a disappointment. Unfortunately the game seeks to real you in only using its looks. I advise to not buy this game it is not worth $60 even if DLC will be free.
-
Dec 10, 2017Microstransactions at its worst. The industry is going down the toilet. Game looks amazing, but is absolutely unplayable. Due to microstransactions around progression. EA needs to relinquish rights to Star Wars.
-
Dec 11, 2017What EA needs to realize is that games like SW-BF II are not a reflection of its sports-oriented games. P2W features in a triple-A game is unacceptable, enough is enough EA if you don't start respecting your customer base I will boycott ALL EA games #boycottEA
-

Dec 16, 2017A grindy mess of a progression system designed to sell gambling to kids using the Star Wars IP; even if micro transactions don't make a return "loot box" based progression for a multiplayer shooter is incredibly lame. Stay far far away from this one.

Dec 21, 2017Exploiting the most loved franchise in history is not OK, I hope the license will be transferred to a company other than EA.
I am here as a fan of Star Wars, and only doing my part. -

-
Jan 25, 2018A very bad game. There is no point of buying this because EA's purpose is not to make gamers enjoy it.
They just want your money. -
Jul 10, 2019No, it's not a game. It's a pay-to-win . THIS IS PIECE OF **** experience, no heroes, no weapons, no balance. Awfull EA marketing. DO NOT BUY IT!
-
Nov 17, 2017Heavily pushed micro-transactions in a pay to win loot based system reminiscent of Free to play mobile games that no one enjoys. This is where gaming is headed. We need to show developers that we WILL NOT stand for this. It's disgusting that a full price, AAA game is pay to win with such a heavy emphasis on loot. DO NOT PURCHASE/ SUPPORT THIS GREEDY BEHAVIOR.
-
Nov 14, 2017This game has beautiful visuals, tight gameplay, and in general excellent production values. It's a shame you'll have to spend hundreds of additional dollars or thousands of hours in order to lock core features like playing as Darth Vader and developing playable classes with the terrible lootbox and trading card progression system.

Dec 13, 2017Parece que al final no es un pay to win,es muy muy adictivo,gráficamente muy trabajado,el modo campaña,te sumerge en una nueva historia de Star Wars,en mi opinión,la historia de campaña,es mejor que la de Roge One ,la nueva actualización con el mapa de Takodana es BRUTAL,te sorprende mucho,y es visualmente y en jugabilidad una delicia,nuevos héroes que sorprenden
-
Nov 17, 2017Pay to win = NOPE!
Paid content in full price games is supposed to be cosmetic only! Everyone knows this! Loot crates in general are one of the worse trends to happen to gaming in recent history. No one likes them, we just tolerated them until now. -

Nov 21, 2017Greed is the keyword here. It could have been amazing, but its just cheap. What a waste.... EA is to blame again, for ruining a franchise. Too bad the campaign is also unworthy of Star Wars.

Nov 20, 2017After the 1st Battlefront a couple of years ago, I was left with a really bad taste in my mouth, I was looking forward to this game but was very disappointment with the end result..
-
Nov 20, 2017They don't give a damn about the community, just micro transactions. EA AND 2K are money grabbing all of their loyal customers and I've had enough... NO MORE PAY TO WIN
-
Nov 21, 2017Another pay to win game. I would be Ok if this was a free game, but a premium game like this?? No way.
It doesn't matter anymore if the game is good or not, this kind of thing have to stop! -
Nov 22, 2017EA ruined this title but really its been a blessing in disguise
now hopefully all publishers cool off and lay off the loot box mechanic and other predatory cash grab scumbag moves -

Nov 19, 2017All most of us want is a fun Star Wars Battlefront game. It's been done before on a lesser platform....WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DO IT AGAIN! 4 Hour single player campaign? Why bother. It's clearly a cash grab. I'm just happy i was able to return this joke of a game. Thanks EA.

Nov 20, 2017Nice game? Mb. But p2w SW yore kidding me?! EA games wtf are you doing?
lot box with so powerfull stuff 4 real money in

It's not even p2w its buy 2 play + pay 2 dominate.
I will not buy it and all my friends say the same. -

Nov 20, 2017The game is OK, not the most original or inspired thing for DICE, but it could be enjoyable, especially if you are into Star Wars. But the EA business model is outrageous. Very disappointing.
-
Nov 21, 2017
-
Nov 21, 2017Screw EA and their predatory micro-transactions ruining the video game industry. I hope this game shows as an example in the future to other publishers not to destroy their developers work by putting the content behind a giant pay wall. Same reason why I won't buy Destiny 2 after Activision filed their shady patent for micro transactions.
-
Nov 22, 2017I feel bad about DICE for trying to make a decent game but this thing that EA did with the game is unfitgettable, many people doesn't even have a credit card me included, if I want to play a game I just want to play ONE TIME for the game,
anyway decent game but awful management. -

Dec 4, 2017You can’t enjoy the game or progress within it spending a fortune with micro transactions. This game is nothing but a trap for players. Don’t fall victim for it.
-
Nov 16, 2017Tu y tus micro pagos se pueden ir a la mierda, espero que esta esta tendencia cambie tan que se están cargando la industria, se preocupan más de idear formas nuevas de micro pagos que en el desarrollo del juego.

Dec 20, 2017Well, its EA... they f***ed up Battlefront 2 and they sure did f***ed up NFS aswell. Lootboxes, u get a Lootbox system, u get a lootboxes System EVERYONE gets a Lootbox system.... F**K u EA
Card... CARD for upgrading/tuning your Car... what a joke and even the most lazy way i could think of... pathatic... the "Story" is cheesy I Hope someday EA will get bankrupt for the stupid s**t -
Jan 17, 2018It is a sheer crime to buy this game!! leave loot boxes out of 60$ games!!

Dec 31, 2017Microtransactions, loot boxes, pay to win, **** gameplay, terrible childish comunity, repetitive gameplay and many awful things that insult real gamers, do not buy this game, retro gaming is the way to go considering the ammount of expensive crap they are releasing nowadays.

Jul 10, 2019The game os a lot better today. Ir receive a lot of new content that is totaly free. And the loot box system os gone . The camping is great and fells like SW.
-
Nov 30, 2017i rented this game and am so bored with the crappy progression system and piss poor gameplay that i am sending it back. i dont think you can fix this game. I own the previous iteration as well. Single player is laughable. PVP is terrible.
-
Apr 7, 2018Good game! The creators of the game very delicately experienced the world of Star wars. Excellent campaign, so many different and most importantly interesting game modes. It's just a pleasure to go into the game every time.

Nov 24, 2019Thanks DICE for their hard and cool work. Game just changed like in fairy tales! Balance, progression system, and added more content. Yeah, game still having a some problems, but comparing it to the 2017 model, one just cannot help but be amazed at so many changes. Thanks for all DICE, and EA for listening and getting a kick from Disney started work on remaking the game

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.
