    Need to fix multiplayer problems For PC! The fixed teams need to be trashed, Scrambling up different players before the games begin would be first major improvement for the multiplayer experience (give better oputunities for fairness for both sides like Black Ops II). GAME DESIGNERS, LISTON TO US!!!!!!!!!!

    If you took away the Star Wars setting, the nostalgia, the music you have a very generic shooter. I played this game far too long hoping I was missing something but this really is a crummy game. I will admit the first hour or 2 were lots of fun but once you get past the nostalgia factor it is a very hollow gaming experience. Do not waste your money on this, maybe worth a 1 day rental.

    Now forget PvP mode for the next installment and create a real Star Wars game. EA already got the graphics and the audio. Just focus on the story now.

    5) Battles are like movies, however, only the Empire gets vehicles, which is boring.
    6) The original Battlefronts Battles were awesome! The lack of AI, Vehicles, and missions are a huge let down.
    7) Heroes absolutely dominate and make playing frustrating.
    8) If you pre-ordered, you got a poster and paid $60. Had you waited 2 weeks, it would have only been $40. Oh that was only for 1/2 the game. You were required to spend another $60 for the DLC. Which the DLC has been pretty pathetic.

    Overall conclusion: Don't waste your money. Friendly tip, get a free month of GameFly and try it out. You will be bored of it within the free trial period.    … Expand

    a shocking example of how to disappoint an avid fan base. take all the great areas of the original battlefront games; spontaneously grabbing an x-wing; flying between space ships with nothing but stars among you; and rip those fantastic star wars moments from the code and models that exist in this exquisite rendition of a failure.

What a rip-off! The trailer looks so awesome and the graphics look like you're actually taking place in the battle, but EA has a history of making awesome game trailers like Battlefield 4. Battlefield 4's trailer includes your team charging in and jumping off a collapsing building, but the game itself isn't that impressive.If you don't have PlayStation Plus, you might as well as not buy this because PS Plus is required to play this. Without multiplayer, which is the reason why you should play it, you're only limited to THREE choices: Tutorial, Battles, and Survival, while you have over 15 maps of a maximum of 40 people in multiplayer. If you want a game with a campaign, I do NOT recommend it because it doesn't have one! EA is charging so much! If it wasn't for its immersive and beautiful graphics, I would rate this game a 2. My advice is that you get it on sale or on a bundle with the PS4 at Fry's Electronics because you can buy the Star Wars Battlefront game included with a PS4 bundle for about $250 if it is on sale.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars Battlefront ImageStar Wars: Battlefield... I mean Star Wars: Battlefraud is the latest disappointment from EA and DICE!

    Immerse yourself in the ultimate Star Wars experience where everyone is running around as helmetless Stormtroopers and Shadow Troopers and Scout Troopers are running around on every map!

    The game features a bunch of boring, dull, loud, confusing and repetitive gamemodes to play on! Let's list them all!
    - Fighter Squadron: Surprise! DICE were too lazy to program space battles so they put you in a Star Fighter above the 4 planets of the game! No, no not in space. Above the ground. They should call in Wars: Battlefront because THERE ARE NO STARS!
    - Supremecy: Capture and defend control points
    - Walker Assault: Attack or defend AT-ATs
    - Cargo: Capture an object
    - Droid Run: Capture an object
    - Drop Zone: Capture an object
    - Blast: Just the regular TDM that exist in every multiplayer game ever created
    - Heroes vs Villains: Defeat the Heroes or Villains
    - Hero Hunt: Defeat the Hero or Villain to play as one, as long as you deal the most damage of course
    - Turning Point: I already listed this one, it's called "Supremecy"
    - Extraction: Please buy the $50 Season Pass in order to get access to this gamemode that nobody plays.

    The game also features no offline content, space battles, Galactic Conquest or balanced gameplay!

    This game is a joke. It's so pathetic that a small company in 2005 can do everything better than a huge company in 2016 can. Don't buy this game unless you want to pay $50 more just to get some actual content.

    EDIT: That review was before the Bespin DLC launched. Now the game is even worse. Hell you can't even play the game because the HUD is gone. And if you actually get into a game you'll just die in the first 5 second. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING in the game is unbalanced. Wanna play Heroes vs Villains? Nope, you'll just die in 5 shots by either Greedo, Dengar or random f*cking Stormtroopers spamming Explosive Shot. This has to be one of the worst games I have ever played. Don't f*cking buy this garbage. Don't buy the Season Pass.

    But it's okay for the Season Pass to be $50 because EA won't add microtransactions. OH WAIT! That's f*cking right! Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, $50 Season Pass, 4 DLCs AND microtransactions! This has to be one of the biggest money grabs in history. EA has total control of one of the most beloved francise ever made. And what do they do with it? Create mobile games and pump out yearly unfinished Star Wars games full with microtransactions and paywalls. Because EA doesn't give a damn about Star Wars. They just want money out of it!

    But it's okay that they added microtransactions because they're adding free content! Yay! 3 new maps (1 old) and 2 Hero skins!

    In fact, let's compare SWBF2 to SWBFEA:
    - Number of maps/planets: SWBF2 - 33, SWBFEA - 20
    - Number of players: SWBF2: 32v32 (Larger on PC), SWBFEA - 20v20
    - Space Battles?: SWBF2 - Yes, SWBFEA - No
    - Moddable?: SWBF2 - Yes, SWBFEA - No
    - DLC?: SWBF2 - 1 DLCs with 4 new maps and 2 new Heroes $5, SWFEA - 4 DLCs Unknown amount of maps, 8 new Heroes, more weapons, skins and star cards $50
    - Campaign?: SWBF2 - Yes, SWBFEA - No
    - Galactic Conquest?: SWBF2 - Yes, SWBFEA - No
    - Instant Action?: SWBF2 - Yes, SWBFEA - No
    - Infantry Types: SWBF2 - 51 playable infantry types and 19 Heroes, SWBFEA - Loudouts only and only 6 Heroes
    Vehicle Types: 37 controllable vehicles and 15 controllable turrets, SWBFEA - 8 controllable vehicles and 3 controllable turrets
    A.I players?: SWBF2 - Yes, SWBFEA - 1 mode only
    Playable eras: SWBF2 - Original and prequels, SWBFEA - Original
    Release Date: SWBF2 - November 2005, SWBFEA - November 2015

    See how much how much of a joke this game is? SWBF2 has more content and does everything better than SWBFEA.

    The game doesn't even have any f*cking logic. Turrets can hit you behind cover by hitting the ground next to you, although turrets doesn't even have any splash damage! Shotguns deals 50 damage across the map, killing you in 2 shots! Luie can hit you with his lighsaber when you're in the f*cking air! You're probably thinking "It's a Star Wars game, it doesn't need logic". Well, you're the only reason EA is still publishing games. Because people like you defends an unfinished product. You're even defending EA putting the whole game behind a $50 paywall.

    I'm starting to run out of characters here. So don't buy this game. Don't even think about buying it.    … Expand

    I am a really big Star Wars fan and always have been. That being said, I'm not a big fan of this game. Cons: The game just doesn't play like it should.

That being said, I'm not a big fan of this game. Cons: The game just doesn't play like it should. Whether it be the inability to scale a rock that is smaller than your shoe or the total lack of response from weapons. On top of these smaller factors are the much larger factors such as the price tag in total ($110 for game and season pass), the awful updates that try to "fix" what wasn't broken in the game to make it a level playing field, and that major lack of content. Battlefront 1 and 2 were jam packed full of content with multiplayer, galactic conquest, and CAMPAIGN (which for some reason isn't important anymore). First, this up in prices isn't just for Star Wars Battlefront, but still. I don't want to pay 60-70$ for a game only to have the DLC season pass (all of the items that were originally on there that were just held back) come out shortly after for another $50. Had it been 20$ it may not have been as big of an ordeal. Secondly, these updates really need to quit trying to level the game out. There is no point in allowing level progression if you're going to nerf all of the stronger weapons and buff all of the weaker ones, just make a linear game with one a full-auto, semi-auto, and burst gun at that point. Lastly, the biggest surprise to me was the upsetting fact that EA felt in their hearts (assuming they have them) that campaign is for chumps and Star Wars (a franchise known for its stories) didn't need an actual campaign to appeal to gamers. That is about as smart as reading instructions telling you to not put your hand in a blender and then putting it in there anyway and slamming down the pulse button. These lackluster, repetitive "missions" are a joke, its just training AI with buffed reaction time. If EA makes a sequel to this game (which I really hope they do and do it right) then there needs to be a campaign, better weapons/ versatility, and perhaps a lower price tag (ha). Oh, and if you're going to charge $110 for a star wars game, the gamers should at least get every single Star Wars and not just the OT (even if you hate the prequels).

    Pros: The real reason this game gets a 4 and not a 1 is because of my love of Star Wars, but still there are some good factors about the game too. The switch between FPS and TPS is an amazing addition, the graphics are phenomenal, and the maps are pretty fun despite being so few. FPS are my favorite game type, but Battlefront is the first TPS I've played in a while that I actually prefer instead the other view. Sure there are strategic values to using third-person over first, but it just feels better and almost like you're watching a star wars movie in third-person. In the latest update, the graphics were improved slightly again, and they look outstanding. You can see the glimmer of sun rays off of armor, dents in vehicles, and each separate bolt of lightning bolting at you. Lastly, the maps are great and nicely organized (except those pitiful spawn points) which I would probably bet that was DICE's work and not EA as DICE does a great job creating beautiful and massive maps. The downside to the maps, though, is that there are so few (9 original, 2 free so far, and "4" dlc).

    Overall, I would buy this game just to have a Star Wars game to play every now and again. For now, I'll continue playing Batman and Warframe until No Man's Sky comes out.    … Expand

    If you want good customization, buy Uncharted 4, there you can chose from different characters, skins, hats, face wear, taunts, pre-sets outfits. Naughty Dog is also releasing more customization options (100% free). Anyways, back to the Battlefront review.

    The game is also missing:
    Singleplayer
    Galactic Conquest
    Space Battles
    Prequel content
    Content
    Balanced gameplay
    Fun non-repetitive gameplay
    And more!

Strip that away and what's left. A below average sci-fi shooter that is weighted heavily towards the online multiplayer and offers next to nothing for the casual, single player market. I won't say this is poor value for money as that is a subjective matter for each individual. There is about one to two hour's play offline before the repetition kicks in. Online the game appears to offer no depth for the experienced FPS player and the chaotic nature, possibly as a result of the simplified controls and aiming, makes for a very short and annoying experience for the casual gamer. It's not long before the novelty of the stunning graphics wear off and I am left with the harsh reality and realisation that I bought this game because it's Star Wars and not because it's a good game...It's not a good game... It's really not a very good game at all... My advice, if the lure of Star Wars is too much then buy a physical copy, you may want to trade it in.… Expand

    What a huge disappointment! I was a huge fan of both of the original Star Wars battlefront games on the PS2 and I also picked up both of the games for the PSP, so in total I had 4 different games. But how is it possible that after all these years since they came out that the game has got worse?!

    New developer is the main reason behind this. They have even just said in an interview that    What a huge disappointment!

But how is it possible that after all these years since they came out that the game has got worse?!

    New developer is the main reason behind this. They have even just said in an interview that the reason a single player campaign wasn't included was to release the game out with the Force Awakens film. That statement pretty much sums up the whole game, extremely rushed. Why?

    Well firstly there's no single player campaign as previously stated. Why is this a bad thing? Well for someone like me who doesn't really get that much chance to play games due to studying and work etc I want to play games for fun, which means doing my own thing and working at my own pace. I don't want to have to play against people who have 2 weeks gametime knowing all the best routes and weapons and tactics, it's just not fun!

    Secondly, there's no Clone Wars at all!! I know some people weren't a fan of the Prequel films which is fair enough, each to their own. But the large majority of them people still want it in the game! The Clone WARS era was a period of time where battles took place on a regular basis so it makes no sense at all why it's not in the game! I for one really liked the Prequels, and I definitely will not be picking up the sequel to EA's battlefront if they do not add this in.

    Thirdly, no space battles! The game is based around STAR Wars and has no map, gamemode or even a single image of space!!! That's absolutely shambolic for a film based around space! Three of the games that came out previously years and years ago had space battles! Even ground to space battles in the PSP version! How can they not have this in the game??

    I could keep going on forever and ever as there are so many reasons as to why this is such a poor game like the fact that pre-DLC release there were 4 planets....4 PLANETS!!! Where the game is based on a film with space travel!! In the originals alone we had Tatooine, Yavin 4, Bespin, Dagobah, Endor, Hoth, we can even have Alderaan, I'm sure the developers could have some imagination, the Death Star and I can't think of any others off the top of my head. But it's just poor.

    I will not be buying the next game in the franchise unless they include Clone Wars content and some sort of Single Player aspect which is better than the stuff they have there at the moment, not too much to ask for considering the original battefront games 10 years ago could manage it.    … Expand

The worst part about this game is that their are only a handful of gigantic maps where your presence virtually does not matter. The skill cap seems extremely low; the game actually seems designed to make you die. Obtaining a vehicle can be extremely difficult and they are usually not even worth the effort; obtaining the Jedi position is even harder and due to its rarity is kind of pointless. The lack of a local multiplayer means your forced to die continuously fighting strangers, unlocking guns that all seem to be the same gun with different stats, other than, of course, the gun that you are forced to pay extra money for (meaning if your willing to spend an extra $10 you unlock by far the best gun taking all incentive out of the game). The game is designed for low-skilled level players who enjoy mindless first person shooters. The only good thing about this game is the fact that the graphics are outstanding and the fact that its in the star wars universe.

The graphics are simply amazing, super detail to the environment (when you have time to look at it when your not being shot at), the lighting effects from the sky to the guns. The sand and snow levels were awesome. the storm troopers to the rebels and their vehicles was really good. On to sound now its great, nothing new but standard John Williams. The gun sound effects are beautiful just like the films and the voice acting are pretty good apart from Han solo.
    The cons... well everything else, the gameplay is way too casual and generic at best (point and shoot). No space battles and its called "STAR WARS".There is no strategy behind it and i don,t know why its called battlefront because your not at the front of the battle, there is rarely a battle where both sides collide together in a battlefront, most of the time your on your own shooting people in the back while there shooting others in the back and you get killed the same way too. The respawns are terrible i mean come on, when you die (which happens a lot) you can respawn at the beginning of the map and take like 2 minutes to back up into the fighting area just to get killed again or you could be respawned behind enemy lines where you will either instantly die or shoot loads of them in the back(oh by the way love the snipers, campers and trolls... that takes real skill) . By the way the pick up cards are rubbish especially the vehicle ones, the second you get in a vehicle everyone targets you so you don't get to play with them much, the at-at walker is on rails!, the speeder bike is useless and the flying craft all pretty much feel the same. This should not be called battlefront it should be called star wars arena. there is zero single player campaign which not just me but lots of others wanted. the best you get is the tutorials which last up to an hour and get to see what it would be like to have a single player story and then whack! door slam to the face, there is no more single player unless you count the "battles" they are terrible! its like the multiplayer battles except your with up to 4 a.i (which they are not there dumb) and the maps are tiny i mean its like running around the park with your friends at 8 years old with lasers except that's more fun, just ugh!. the multiplayer maps are shockingly small for a multiplayer based game unless you count the 39.99 pounds season pass (just bike it E.A into the pit of despair from whence you came), this is just stinging the fans if ever i saw it. E.A are evil they give you nice looking games and misleading and false trailers and pretty much every game they make is 54.99 pounds(that's the standard edition! deluxe is 69.99! whereas the ultimate with the season pass is 104.98 pounds!!! just NO!) this has got to be one of the most controversial games ever. so many people love it and i get it its star wars. You first play it and its like cool i'm in a star wars movie but after an hour or 2 it wore off. I've spent about 2 dozen hours playing all the modes and i've had my fill with no need to ever revisit. its practically a bad game or rather just a huge disappointment. i f you gonna buy wait for it to go on offer online (which trust me i've seen it on offer in the psn store about half a dozen times) or buy from your local game store they have tons of them on shelf... i wonder why?. DO NOT buy the season pass or the deluxe edition(because the deluxe edition content you can earn in the game for free apart from 2 exclusive emotes! wow! great deal! and the season pass if you buy it then your saying to dice and E.A here take my money for content that should be in the game upon release) its half a game on release and it will never be a complete game with the dlc. one last thing do not pre order E.A games i and many others have been stung by them before many times. Its going to be hard to resist pre ordering mass effect Andromeda though. thanks for reading my first ever review :-)    … Expand

    One of the biggest game regrets ever... This was my first PS4 game I owned and I can't feel more ripped off. I bought this game for 60 dollars and barely got half a full game.

Not to mention the disgusting 50 dollar season pass which actually contains content. This game represents everything wrong with the gaming industry. Overpriced season passes that contain the actual game, shallow modes, and no effort put in. This game isn't bad objectively, but because of how this game left me feeling I decided to put it this low. If you're looking for a good online game get Overwatch and I'm sure there are plenty of other Star Wars games that are complete. The worst thing is that I gave my hard earned money to EA and am thus supporting cash grabs like this. At least I didn't get the season pass and EA isn't getting my money anytime soon. It's a shame this game uses the Star Wars brand mainly to attract more money.… Expand

A proper flight simulator would allow you to roll the craft and pull up to turn sharply. The flying missions were what attracted me to this game, and I was thoroughly dissapointed.

    Shambles of a game. If this didn't have the Star Wars in the title the servers would have been shut down already. It feels like playing a beta even with the season pass, which is a con for two reasons - it's overpriced for the paltry amount of content within and secondly the only players that use the DLC are the losers that sit on the game all day every day.

    So there is no story, they are little campaign missions but they are like 10 minutes each and they aren't really interesting. So you are left with the gameplay, which was also disappointing...
    The maps were too big so it's hard to find your friends, the weapons feel the same and when you have a character like Luke or Darth Vader, the gameplay becomes slow and sluggish.
    And the online is boring too, this fanbase is annoying and since the gameplay sucks, the online isn't enjoyable to me..

    It's sad that there isn't much to talk about because there isn't a lot to this game, the little amont of content is laughable, the gameplay is like call of duty so if you enjoy call of duty, maybe you will enjoy this. For me, this game looks incredible and sounds just like star wars but the game itself isn't good.    … Expand

    Lazy and incomplete. Typical EA cash grab. It looks gorgeous and sounds amazing, but at the end of the day, they knew that with all that fanservice a butt load of Star Wars fans (myself included) would jump right on board. Don't. It's a typical EA "pay $100+ for a season pass and game" to even get something that resembles a solid amount of content.

    Star Wars: Battlefront has to be the biggest disappointment in gaming in a long time.

Online never has appealed to me, so the only gaming experiences I am interested in are single-player driven. I honestly wouldn't mind the fact that this game has no story mode had it not taken the classic Battlefront franchise, both of which had excellent single-player campaigns that were intriguing and fun to play through. The fact that EA and DICE thought that a campaign mode was unnecessary really shows far removed this game is from the original two games. The game is unpolished, with a number of animation glitches happening within the first few hours of the game. The heroes, while fun to play as, feel stupidly overpowered while playing with bots, and as a result the biggest thing Star Wars: Battlefront had going for it added thirty minutes of playtime, only ten of which were refreshing. I can guess that the heroes are more fun to play as in the online mode, but I've read that people will just hang back and steal the hero tokens so nobody except a few people will every play as heroes. The other single-player modes are fine, but there is so little substance here that they all feel stale, boring, and repetitive. There's nothing of interest on these linear, barren maps, so no match feels distinct, not to mention the fact that everything in this game is so limited in terms of substance. There are no open-ended systems to use to your advantage, and no clever physics. This game is so limited, and I think that is the root of all the problems here. Yes the aesthetics have been nailed, and everything looks and sounds authentic to the Star Wars universe, but nothing about the gameplay actually reinforces the visuals, and as a result Star Wars: Battlefront lacks any sort of depth or interest. There is so little that appeals to me in Star Wars: Battlefront, that I could not excuse myself for giving this game anything more than a 2 out of 10.… Expand

From a lack of everything from single player, to maps, to just overall content, to a rather arcade-y style of combat, this Battlefront was a massive letdown from the originals in the early 2000s.

    The gameplay consisted of your standard shoot the other guy/capture points/blow up things then move on game styles you see in nearly every multiplayer game, with the only major addiction being walker assault that is in all honesty just a reversed version of rush from Battlefield.

    There isn't any single player campaign, and what single player content there is consists of tutorials and boring survival horde mode style games, and point collection. Later a skirmish mode was added, but the lack of something like "Galactic Conquest" is inexcusable.

    The other thing is that the game was just unfinished. It was obviously rushed, and content was also taken out, only to be added as dlc for an extra, at the very least, $50 dollars because of the season pass system that the game has. This lack of maps and variety makes the multiplayer, the thing the entire game is designed around, incredibly boring after only a short time playing it.

    The only praise I can give the game is that it is Beautiful. The Graphics look nearly photo realistic and it feels like you are in the famous locations of star wars. The Sound design is also amazing. But these are minor things in a game.

    Overall, this game is bad. It lacks content, gets boring quickly, and has nothing that will make you comeback to it after a long period of time.

    With the new film of the space opera saga finally on the big screen and the release of Battlefront's new sequel, both after a decade overdue, it is definitely the best time to be a Star Wars fan. The game itself is a dream-come-true for fans, and the Star Wars spectacle is strong in this one. However, if it is depth and longevity you seek... this is not the game you are looking for.
