    Battlefront is a fun game but it gets pretty boring pretty fast. The gameplay itself is fun but it gets repetitive as there are only a few maps and to get anymore you would have to buy their DLCs.

In the base game you have only 6 heros/villans to play as, there are more but you have to pay to access those characters. Another massive downside is that the game is limited to only the original trilogy time period, all this does it further exacerbate the repetitiveness of the game. There are also a lack of vehicles that you can play as so this also adds to the boredom. Graphics wise the game still holds up to even todays standards so no complaints there. It's an ok game and worth a play if you can get for cheap.… Expand

    That not it, even with the dlc there is a big lack of hero and map of the prequels. No campaign is also a disappointment.

    This game is not bad but not great either there are limited options in offline mode which is my preferred way of playing games and it feels short or missing content but for a shooter is rather fun to play once in a while.

    On the firsthand, the UI is so hard to navigate through to find what you want. Once you jump through those hoops, the arcade mode is really fun. Me and my friends had fun with it. As to let you know, I'm not a hardcore Battlefront person because I mostly play for multiplayer. So if my review doesn't go with all the bad ones, it's because I don't do campaign and co-op.

    Call of Battlefield: Star Wars Edition. This game is nothing like the original series, it took Battlefield, and replaced all the guns with blasters instead. Very mediocre considering it's supposed to be Battlefront. Still worth the purchase if you can find it on sale like I did.

    No microtransactions :-). But nothing like the 2005 battlefront everyone loved. No content. No campaign. Vehicles require a boring uncreative token system. Great graphics and environment textures. Best gun play in the series. Very disapointing. Go play the 2005 or 2017 battlefront.

    Gameplay: You press your trigger button. Your weapon fires. The other player dies. It makes sounds. It looks fun. And that's the gameplay in a nutshell. Oh yes, you got special moves now and then that work halve of the time, and otherwise give you an epileptic attack by watching it.
    Multiplayer: Well... that's what it is.... and it's okay halve of the time. Other times it's boring and frustrating.
    Co-op: This is actually the better part of the game, offering races on shooting motorbikes, letting you fight waves of stormtroopers, big ass robots and aircrafts. I enjoyed playing this with my friends.

    If this game had been 30 euros, i would have understand the lack of content. But for 60 euros, and a 50 euro season pass? **** you EA, this is just a scam.

The shooting is pretty solid and controlling can feel stiff sometimes but overall is fine. The maps are huge and controlling vehicles is a lot of fun. The air combat is pretty standard but again is fine. Weapons all feel pretty similar and so do the star cards. Hero's are so much fun but the fact you have to pick up a token to play as one is stupid and creates camping in those spawning areas. Progression and unlocks happen far too slow. But the worst part of this game is the lack of content. Almost no single player content except for tutorial missions which is so sad. The missions are all pretty basic so if you want to play offline alone there isn't much for you. There are literally 4 launch maps for the standard edition which is outrageous. There is only a handful of good multiplayer modes as well. The amount of content for the base game is so disappointing and after a while you feel like you experienced everything that can happen and it makes the game feel shallow. A disappointing experience done as beautiful as possible.… Expand

    Overall, quite a disappointment considering the pre-release hype. The biggest drawback was the lack of a story mode, opting instead for a handful of pretty straightforward 'missions'. The online gameplay however is just what you would expect from the team behind the Battlefield series - being both huge & beautiful (if not fairly repetitive).

The fighter squadron quickly became my only reason to play Star Wars Battlefront, but the luster wore off after a few months when it was clear the game made was imbalanced toward the rebels. Over a year later, the game mode is still imbalanced. The ground game was an immediate dud. Coming into the game a month late, I was far behind other players in weapon and ability unlocks, and those unlocks are meaningful. It's not fun being cannon fodder, and I gave up on the whole thing. The population numbers tell me that I'm not the only one. My son and I had some co-op fun running off-line missions, and it's clear that this game badly needed an off-line campaign. It's no surprise to see this title selling for less $10 new. It is perhaps the worst game purchase I have ever made.

    The multi-player itself is standard Battlefield: shoot, die, repeat. There are some goals to reach but without any coordination the results seem random. The standout modes are dogfights and walker assault. The vehicle combat is well done, and my only complaint is the lack of a rebel land vehicle. The Snow Speeder is nice enough, but moves too fast to take down ground troops. The dogfights are marred only by the way too powerful Millenium Falcon and Slave 1. Their health bars are ridiculous.

    The negative reaction to this game is understandable. The player stats also show a middling player population. By the end of 2016, I expect the game will have to drop most of the playlists to keep the populations viable. I don't see how DLC playlists will ever have viable populations. My recommendation is to avoid the DLC altogether until EA figures out how to make this game more popular.

    The leveling system is as frustrating for new players as any. This bar to entry is another knock against the anemic player population. Hopefully developers will realize the value of playlists with equal starts. At least the dog fighting game has old and new players at an equal level.

    Though there is no campaign, the game does support split screen. Couch co-op is great fun and I believe this is the only game this generation with couch co-op. nonsensically, there is no proper party system for bringing friends into a match. The best you can do is have one friend guaranteed to be on you side while your other friends may randomly end up on the enemy's side. This should be the developer's no.1 focus right now and the most immediate cure to the population problems.    … Expand

There is just no cooperation or any semblance of teamwork within multiplayer, which would've been easy for DICE to implement, and it would be great for it to be in a new Battlefront game. But no. Not to mention DICE deciding to make no campaign at all! Instead of trying to make a good campaign, they just gave up and said "Nope!" How lazy! Overall, Star Wars: Battlefront is a painfully average game, that only just rises above the 5 score because of the excellent production values.

Battlefront seems more like a tech demo than it does a full game. Within a couple of hours you can play through all of the maps and scenarios. Those first couple hours are decent fun and its hard not to be impressed by how good everything in the game looks but after you get past that it becomes very clear that the game is average in almost every other way. This really seems like it was purely made to capitalize on the Star Wars brand.

    The gameplay isn't bad but it is inferior to the other Battlefront games that I have played. I don't know why anyone who choose this game over dozens of other FPS games aside from the graphics and the fact that it is a Star Wars game. There are very few weapon options and most of them are pretty generic. They added character customization but the options are extremely limited. There are only a few battle scenarios.

    There is no storyline or campaign mode at all. Even fighting games put in a basic campaign. There is really no excuse for this.

    Obviously the visuals are great, however, there is very little creativity. I can't think of any past Star Wars games that looked this good but almost all of the past Star Wars games that I have played, such as Jedi Knight or Shadow of the Empire, include unique designs that added to the Star Wars world. Battlefront does a good job of presenting what we already know but doesn't give us anything new design wise.

    Sound Design is basically the same situation as the visuals. Everything sounds great but it is basically just the same sounds that you get in the movies, there are no memorable original songs. Basically EA got what they paid for, recorded it in game form and sold it to consumers at a markup. It sounds good so I give it some props for that but in a world where even indie games are starting to have amazing original tracks I expect more from a massive franchise from a massive company.

    Considering that the game is purely focused on multiplayer I would have expected a lot of maps to choose from but there are hardly any and while they all look great they are all pretty small and not that complex. Just like everything else in this game, they just don't seem to be very inspired.

    While Battlefront is far from the worst game and the production values are mostly excellent, that is not good enough of a reason to buy it. There are far better Star Wars games and far better FPS games. Wait a few years and all the Star Wars games will look and sound this good. Even if you are a huge Star Wars fan I would recommend that you save your money.

    I am a huge fan of Star Wars. I was excited to see DICE take on this game like many others, but what we got what a good game with little content. No campaign, few heroes and maps. The game was not a $60 game. It still was a hell of a lot of fun though. Just wish there was more there.

Even though this game was very different from the originals I gave it a shot and at first I loved it. This love for this game lasted about 2 months before I got bored of playing the same exact thing almost everyday. Battlefront had no longevity at all due to its poor amount of content at release. With expansions however this game becomes much more playable and enjoyable. The season pass is now only 30$ which gives the player a lot of new content, meaning that the online of the game is improved significantly. The local multiplayer on the other hand is almost non-existent sadly and so is a story/campaign mode. Battlefront is game that one should dedicate much time to as the enjoyment of the game is taken away as one quickly loses interest in the multiplayer.… Expand

    Sure the fan service is HERE, but what you are given are 4-5 stages, some cool story characters to play as and thats it. For the exception of the normal leveling, battlepack and stat system similar to DICE multiplayer games, there isn't much else in the base game. Also, forget the single player, there isn't much there except a tutorial to the MP.

    DICE and a lot of other companies NEED to see the writing on the wall. YOUR COMMUNITIES ARE NOT BUYING THE DLC!!! Simply look at the map browser, tell me how many games are being played on a DLC map. Yeah. (Sorry about the rant)

Clearly just attacking the game ... anyway, very good graphics, awesome sounds, a decent amount of content ( I still need to play Supremacy in MP and have not touched the co-op/single player missions yet other than the beta). Bottom line this is a fun casual shooter with good variety. A Star Wars fan's heaven. It is not a technical strategic shooter like Killzone especially with the lack of non party communication and call outs would be difficult at best on these maps. It is more strategic than any COD game though. You can't just run around stabbing people and killing everyone with one or 2 shots. My biggest complaint would probably be the lack of mic communication with the whole team. I do like the partner system like the fireteams in Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Also people saying this is Battlefield with a Star Wars skin are out to lunch as well. It may get boring if you play it relentlessly hours a day for 6 months but what game wouldn't. I am still playing Killzone 2 years later and it had 17 maps in the end. This will end up with 25 if you get all the season pass stuff. Not happy about the $80 price for that in Canada but I will probably shell out for it because I think the fun to be had will justify that. Watch some streams and ask people you know who have actually played it but do not listen to MORONS rating this a zero. It would be like giving Wolfenstein: The New Order a zero because it lacked multiplayer. Solid 8/10… Expand

However, my friend egged me on to buy it and even gave me some money to supplement the cost of the game. Sadly, even with the little bonus to offset the cost, I feel like this game is not worth the asking price.

    Lets start off with the good stuff. It's beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. The character designs, sound effects, and level design all scream Star Wars. It will be an absolute delight for fans of the franchise to jump into and feel like they're part of the Galactic Civil War. Being able to play as a hero is even better, as you can turn the tide of the battle with the overwhelming power of fan favorites like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader - though personally, I find Boba Fett and Princess Leia to be even more overpowered.

    But that's as high as the game floats above water. The abundant lack of features, no single-player, and ESPECIALLY the additional content hidden behind DLC paywalls are holes that flood this otherwise elaborate looking ship. The positives of the game are barely keeping it afloat, and playthroughs tend to be short and get boring fast.

    It's not crap, but it's certainly far from great. For Star Wars fans, this is a relatively easy buy. For gamers, it's easily just as dismissible. Such a shame so much hype and graphical production got put into such a mediocre game.    … Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront is a disappointingly shallow multiplayer FPS that made all the wrong decisions.

    Pros: - Absolutely stunning to look at. These worlds were brought to life with care and focus, feeling as though they were pulled straight from the films - Sound design is exceptional. Whether its the buzzing slash of a lightsaber or the high pitched squeal of a laser blaster, the    Star Wars Battlefront is a disappointingly shallow multiplayer FPS that made all the wrong decisions.

    Pros:
    - Absolutely stunning to look at. These worlds were brought to life with care and focus, feeling as though they were pulled straight from the films
    - Sound design is exceptional. Whether its the buzzing slash of a lightsaber or the high pitched squeal of a laser blaster, the sounds are accurate and perfectly placed. Battles sound just how you'd expect
    - Great music; tracks both new and old place the game directly in the Star Wars universe
    - Playing as the heroes and villains of the Star Wars universe never gets old

    Cons:
    - Incredibly long loading times; whether entering a map or simply waiting to go back to the title screen, you are looking at a minute or more of idling. It gets frustrating fast.
    - No single player
    - Poor progression favors veterans far too heavily. Too many helpful abilities and weapons are locked completely inaccessible to beginners. Newcomers are already at a disadvantage in terms of skill and familiarity, also giving them the worst of the weapons and no star cards makes this title incredibly difficult to get into
    - The most interesting game modes are locked behind DLC. Multi-tiered objective based modes are locked, with only basic game modes available to all.
    - Too much is locked behind DLC. I had most of my fun on DLC maps and game modes. The base game is painfully shallow
    - Team balancing is horrendous. I have entered matches to find myself alone on my team against 5 players on the opposite side. Even when numbers are even, skill levels are seemingly not considered. Far too often games feel completely one sided. Competitive matches are few and far between.
    - Shallow space combat

    Mixed:
    - Loose, spread heavy gunplay. Some people may like this, but I like my guns to be precise.
    - Game modes are a mixed bag; again this will have a lot to do with personal preference

    Star Wars Battlefront looks and feels like a Star Wars game should, but unfortunately while putting so much effort into the presentation, it seems the designers forgot to back it up with content. While there is fun to be had, the loose gunplay, unfair progression system, long loading times and terrible team balancing will turn most away before they can ever find it.    … Expand

I can safely say SW:BF gets better once you have a few item unlocks, when you know the maps, and when you can distinguish the good from the bad modes - walker assault for instance is pretty amazing once you know what you have to do. It is still basic shallow pew-pew shooting but it pulls you in, especially the endor map. Hero hunt on the other hand is a load of BS, avoid this... Mediocre/potentially fun modes are cargo (CTF equivalent) and fighter squadron... the latter can be fun to jump into every now and again, but it is frustrating how barren the gameplay is at times.

    Overall this game has grown on me over the past few days, and anyone who is a serious star wars fan should give it a go. It is, however, nothing more than a shallow 3rd person/fps game that could have been so much more... if only DICE had added classes and a single player campaign...

The problem with Battlefront isn't on a technical level it plays and runs fine but other problems contribute to it's downfall.

But sadly, Battlefront doesn't allow me to do that. Next the modes range from multiplayer/single player but Battlefront thinks to small it feels more like a Battlefield re-skin or mod than an actually different game. Battlefront was given the golden opportunity to become the first game of the Star Wars franchise on current gen (PS4, Xbox One) consoles as all the Battlefront games before than was on PC,PS2,Original Xbox and Xbox 360 but it cannot surpass it's predecessors. Lack of large-scale space warfare hurt the game and dealt a powerful blow to fans of the Star Wars franchise. Battlefront's music choice is also very basic I can almost hear the same track playing on any mission I choose to play. It seems like a limited experience as if it was a beta, we should have gotten the cancelled game that looked more entertaining than this. In the end Battlefront was just a commercial game it was designed to trick gamers in with it's shiny graphics and Star Wars logo but gamers got smart and Battlefront's popularity plummeted quickly; Also the amount of DLC present in the game is cringe-worthy.

    Full Review: Battlefront for the PS4 has been equipped with all of the frills of FPS gameplay - powerful visuals, great graphics, plenty of weapon variety, and engaging combat mechanics. And yet, they stripped of most of the things that made the franchise charming, unique and lovable. No more "Galactic War" gameplay modes, no campaigns, and no more leading your troops with AI commands.

    What's left is a game with bare bones Single Player and Split-screen modes, and an Online Multiplayer that has almost nothing to distinguish it from every other major FPS on the market. The fact that this game is more-or-less entirely Online Multiplayer focused could be acceptable if they gave the online games depth, i.e. lots of maps, complex objectives, game-mode customization.

    However, the game has only a handful of maps, simple objectives, and basic modes. Following in EA's traditional customer-gouging custom, several of extra maps, which should have been included to make this barren game feel more complete, only come at a high extra cost.

    I must admit, I did find the Online Multiplayer to be a somewhat addicting experience. There certainly were positives in the combat mechanics, visuals, and trying out different vehicles and weaponry. However, I cannot get over the fact that this game feels so empty and incomplete.    … Expand

    What's really disappointing about DICE's Star Wars Battlefront reboot is that after that magical feeling of nostalgia eventually dissipates, you're left with a game that has very little substance. What hammers that point even further is that more than half the game's content is locked behind an 'Online Only' wall. Offline players won't have long to exhaust what's available to them.

    The    What's really disappointing about DICE's Star Wars Battlefront reboot is that after that magical feeling of nostalgia eventually dissipates, you're left with a game that has very little substance. What hammers that point even further is that more than half the game's content is locked behind an 'Online Only' wall. Offline players won't have long to exhaust what's available to them.

    The graphics are top notch, but once you've tried every 'different' blaster, rifle or whatever, they all feel the same pretty much. The maps, once again, look great, but their orientation is limiting. Battles eventuate to being whoever shoots first (I'm looking at you Han Solo) or whoever gets finished off because their health meter was 90% depleted.

    Playing as heroes is no better: Once the magic of playing as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Boba Fett, Han Solo or Princess Leia wears off, you're instantly bored. This is also a downside when you compare this line-up of characters in comparison to the roster of heroes and villains available in Pandemic's Star Wars Battlefront 2.

    Not only that, but heroes in DICE's reboot have finite health, requiring players to scurry about and look-up for a health replenishment item. This means hero battles boil down to a frustrating race to keep your health topped up or prevent the other player from reaching said health item.

    For offline players, the Tutorials only hold that opportunity to pilot an X-Wing, a speeder and an AT-ST. Survival is probably the only replay worthy material, but this itself is a frustrating limited experience.

    Overall, Battlefront is a limited title that will quickly expire in terms of public interest. The only thing for DICE to do is to radically improve the inevitable sequel. For a real Star Wars Battlefront experience, play the 10 year old sequel released by Pandemic.    … Expand

I understand, however, why some people might not like it as there are a few design decision that are not great in my opinion.

    First of all, as you probably already know this game is mainly focused on online multiplayer. There are a few “missions” to play solo, but they’re not great fun to play in the long term, good however to learn the basic mechanics.

    Graphics, sound, maps etc. are all really good, they look, sound and feel very well do I don’t think I have any complains in there. What about gameplay? Well…this is where the thing gets juicy, there are both good a bad things. Good thigs first, the gameplay, feels smooth and fast but not too fast and the gun fight lasts long enough (you don’t die too fast nor too slow) which is good as having better aim compared to your opponent can really make a difference, but there is still some room for luck and randomness which is good. Weapons are good and they feel and are different, I’ve read a lot of people complaining that all weapons are the same, that they are not different and that it doesn’t make any difference if you equip A or B. I strongly disagree with this; maybe not all weapons are different but there are definitely quite a few different groups. For example, if we focus on fire rate, there are slow and fast weapons (usually slow weapons are powerful and fast not as much), so depending on how good your aim is, it makes quite a huge difference which one you choose. Low fire rate weapons are usually powerful and overheat quickly which means you need to have good aim or otherwise they’re useless, on the other hand high fire rate weapons are basically the opposite. Also depending on the map you might want to change the weapon you use; e.g. for wide open maps you may like a long range weapon, but this one is probably not that effective in the smaller “corridor-like” maps. Same with the gadgets, you have to give it a bit of thought if you want to use the best gadget for both your skills and map/game mode. Basically, choosing the right equipment makes a huge difference if you’re playing to win, and this is good; if you’re just playing to randomly and pointlessly shoot around and kill, then I guess it doesn’t really matter but I don’t think that’s the game’s fault.

    Anyway, bad things, the first bad thing for me is the fact that there is a huge breach in equipment between let’s say low rank players (1-20) and high rank players (40+). You basically start with almost nothing, in terms of weapons and gadgets and that ruins a bit the experience at the beginning. First, chances are a lot of people are going to kill you loads just because they have better equipment. That is kind of all right as it is a bit like that in all games. However, I think it is quite quite frustrating when that breach makes you pretty much useless in certain game modes compared to high rank players. For example, in cargo, drop zone and droid run (you basically have to capture something by interacting with it) it makes a huge difference to have personal shields for blaster defense, or a jetpack to chase the enemy carrier, stunning grenades etc etc. With the kind of kit they give you at the beginning you are severely in disadvantage and that, my friends, spoils the fun a bit. I really think they should have given rookies better stuff. Second stuff that frustrates me quite a lot, is the respawn locations, it is not strange at all in this game to spawn in the middle of an enemy mob and that means you’re gonna die instantly. This doesn’t happen this often in other games so there is something wrong here either with the respawn design or the maps, but it is frustrating as hell. Finally, this game feels far too chaotic, I know…partially is because people play in a chaotic way, but again it feels a lot more chaotic here than in other games. You find yourself too often in the middle of crossfires and it is not because the opponents have managed to perform an awesome strategic group manoeuvre, no, it is just random and as I said before, many times is right after respawn.

    Anyway, when you get past the initial lack of equipment the game is more and quite enjoyable as you can start to create your own “pseudo-class” and try to make a difference in a match. The problem is it will take you quite a bit to get to that point so there is a good chance you’ll get bored/frustrated in the way. If you’re in doubt as I was, I would suggest you get a second hand copy (they’re quite cheap now) and you give it a good play. If you like it, good get the season pass if you don’t just get rid of it and you didn’t lose too much money (I’m still trying to decide myself!).    … Expand

    While there’s a good selection of improvements – including graphically – and definitely recreates the feeling of being in the Star Wars universe, yet compared to previous instalments, there seems to be a lot missing.

It is great to be a Stormtrooper or a Rebel fighter until you step forward and    While there’s a good selection of improvements – including graphically – and definitely recreates the feeling of being in the Star Wars universe, yet compared to previous instalments, there seems to be a lot missing.

    Gameplay: Controls are very simple and easy to understand, as well as being very responsive. It is great to be a Stormtrooper or a Rebel fighter until you step forward and then proceed to spontaneously combust or grow blaster wounds in vital areas. In short, the online multiplayer is very chaotic and once you do manage to survive long enough to acquire any interesting weapons or vehicles, it feels very anticlimactic, disappointingly as dull as everything else you would’ve done in the game so far.

    If you’d rather avoid the overwhelming multiplayer modes, the offline features aren’t exactly more welcoming. There only a very limited number of game modes available which have almost no content or challenge to them, and are either too short or too slow.

    However, some of the most fun I have had in the game is in the Hero Battles. Despite being very oddly paced at times, it’s hard to deny that it is really fun running around and choking people as Darth Vader, waving your lightsaber around as Luke Skywalker, doing crazy flips as Emperor Palpatine or shooting enemies as Han Solo, Fett or Leia.

    Visuals/Sound: One of the only defining qualities of this game is the atmosphere. This newest addition to Battlefront is undoubtedly the best looking and sounding Star Wars game to date. The scenery, the characters, the sounds and effects are all very authentic to the original trilogy and very easily immerses players in the world of Star Wars.

    Even for those who would be considered indifferent about the Star Wars movies would find this experience thrilling. It really does feel like you’re taking part in a battle within Star Wars itself. However, this would be a good excuse to own the game already, rather than a reason to buy it in the first place; unless of course you are a self-proclaimed massive fan of Star Wars, in which case this is the game for you.

    Summary: A very tight, rather generic shooter, disguised as a good-looking Star Wars game. Definitely not the best Star Wars game out there, and without a doubt not the best Battlefront game. There is genuine fun to be had in this game, for about an hour or so. Unless you’re a big Star Wars fan, the newest Battlefront will get old, fast. Even then, it’ll get old eventually.    … Expand

    That said, the 20 on 20 matches are great when people are playing the objective (which is maybe 50% of the time) , the vehicles are fun to use and the gun controls are refreshingly simple. A couple of critical notes:

    Starfighter combat mode is okay, but there Imperial/Rebel fighters are terribly unbalanced. The rebel jet will win 8 times out of 10. It's better to dogfight over a ground battle (e.g. Supremacy) than to play full out Fighter Squadron mode.

    Hero vs Hero used to be my favorite mode, I played it every day. Sure, you couldn't choose your hero and hoped to spawn as your favorite but that also made you learn to use characters you would otherwise have avoided and perhaps have more fun than you expected (looking at you, Palp and Leia). Unfortunately in one of the more recent updates they changed things so that you can choose your hero and that generally means button mashing to get who you want, which takes the entire spirit out of the process. I've played once or twice since they changed it but haven't played HvH again in months. It's too bad.

    However, the newer maps are great, I love the emojis, graphics of course are lavish, etc etc. Try to get this game under $20 because that's really what a game without a campaign mode and a relatively straight forward multiplayer model should cost..    … Expand

    Battlefront has solid gameplay and very impressive looking maps and worlds - all of which engross you into the Star Wars universe. However the lack of content, that will be available as DLC, is noticeable, and the game you got on release day is fun at first but after a while it gets repetitive. Still a fun game to play though.

The biggest problem faced in this game is the constant gltiches, bugs and lack of support from EA and Dice and lack of content. It feels as if the game was designed to be released half finished and force its players to purchase DLC's to experience the true game. The game lacks single player which is a huge downside to the game. Despite the game having a extremely bad start, it isn't that bad overall. It's fun in small doses and as with any multiplayer competitive game can get extremely annoying and frustrating.

    With no single player offering, which I would have absolutely no problem with if the rest of the game had more content and substance, the game suffers from absolutely no signs of longevity present. The spawning system on most game types are horrendous, often putting you right back into the action that you recently died from. The only particularly good and interesting character skins can be unlocked from level 40 onwards, as if EA expected people to play 4 maps with possibly 3, 4 (at a push) fun game modes.

    Speaking of EA, I wonder who's idea it was to add a season pass to this game which is the same price as the actual game. Does it sound like something EA would do? If releasing half a game and charging £50 for a season pass is the new way forward then I fear for future big releases.

Yes there is survival mode. but it is so half A@@ed that it is more like a tutorial that you should do before actually getting into the main game. my point is you need other people playing with you in order to have any fun at all in this game. It is heartbreaking, so much so that ive went back to bf2 just to see what this game could have been. yeah its pretty, but whats the point in looking good if theres no personality to go with it??? The character customization is literally a bunch of different faces, about 7 overall, with about 3 different hair cuts. that is until you get to rank 40 and 50, then you get a few unique characters. that and the guns. there could have been so much more variety than the 10 guns you unlock through the game. so from here on out we will finish off with pros and cons. with pros first.....

    pros..
    ~Graphics are AMAZING. AND I MEAN AMAZING
    ~Gameplay is fun and balanced.
    ~Sounds and effects are on par with the movies.
    ~You get the ability to choose the map you would like to play on, the game searches for sessions taking place on the map you choose.

    ~Free maps and gamemodes have and will continue to be added into the game.
    ~the game is addicting.

    EA has offered a product that appeals to a wide range of fan bases. The graphics are the brightest points that the game offers, while the lack of a story mode limits the experience.

    For years players had been expecting a new Battlefront, therefore the expectations were very high even more with the new movie that put back Star Wars in the center of the entertainment world, now lets talk about the game itself.

Sure the guys from EA will tell you that there is some solo content, but    For years players had been expecting a new Battlefront, therefore the expectations were very high even more with the new movie that put back Star Wars in the center of the entertainment world, now lets talk about the game itself.

    First I have the main complain that everyone else, where is the campaign mode ? Sure the guys from EA will tell you that there is some solo content, but honestly its almost nothing a surviving mode limited to 15 waves and some tutorials, that's no where near what the first Battlefront offered with an actual campaign that takes you to a lot of different locations with a little story etc... The interest of the game is purely online and like all the online-only FPS I saw on console there is not sufficient content (weapons, characters, vehicules,maps and modes) to justify a full retail price in my eyes. But let's be clear on one point there is no less content in Battlefront that there was in Evolve, Plants VS Zombies or Titanfall, they are all lacking content in my eyes.

    Now lets talk about the best thing in the game : the technical side. The sound is amazingly nostalgic, the graphics are gorgeous and after 45 hours of gameplay (the time it took me to reach the level cap) there's almost no bug since the launch of the game.

    Gameplay wise the game is a pretty classic FPS except for the Heroes and Villains that change the setting with a gameplay closer to MOBAs, every mode has its for and cons and you'll probably find something that suits you the best, unfortunately there is some balancing problems, you'll most likely never see the imperials win a Fighter Squadron match, Boba Fett is really annoying with his jet pack that allows him to flee too easily, etc...

    All in all Battlefront is a fun multi-player game, that suffers from the classical lack of content curse of multi-player-only games and from balancing problems, but the gorgeous looks, MOBAs mechanics and large scale battles maintain the game on the good side of video games. Advisable for Star Wars fan if you find it on sale.    … Expand

Even though it seems this series truly calls for an open world rpg with single player and multiplayer aspects, this is nothing more than a beautiful money grab. Hopefully Dice/EA will deliver this open world game in the future without downgrading the graphics but for now we are left with this hop in and quickly hop out non-immersive game.… Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront is fun, but is plagued with too many issues for me to really recommend it to most people. But first off, I have to give credit where credit is due. The graphics are gorgeous, and the sound is good too (aside from the voice acting, of course). It really immerses you into the Star Wars universe. Game play is enjoyable, but far from perfect. Lightsaber fights are a huge letdown - take turns smacking each other until one of you dies, or catch the other player off guard, not letting them land a single hit on you, or even turn around for that matter. The shooting isn't bad, though. The game's online mode consists of nine game modes, (Ten with the free DLC) but I only really enjoy three or four. Anyone I've asked said it was the same way for them, so you'll most likely choose an handful of favourites and disregard the rest. The single player on the other hand, is an absolute joke. It'll last you maybe an hour or two before you leave it forever. The worst part, however, is the DLC. The 50 dollar season pass is advertised on the main menu, and a bunch of new maps and heroes are promised, essentially making this a $110 USD or $130 CAD game. This is ridiculous on it's own, but a sequel is reportedly already in development, meaning EA couldn't care less about actually creating the content people have already paid money for.

    The game is fun. I want to really enjoy it and play it consistently, but in it's current state, it's a bit of a train wreck. A recent update did fix some issues and added more free content, so EA must be trying something new. I'm happy to bump the score up to a 7 instead of a 6 because of that.    … Expand

    It’s been just more than 10 years since the last Star Wars Battlefront title released for the Playstation 2 and Xbox, and fans have been waiting ages to jump back into the shoes of Rebel or Imperial scum.

    Electronic Arts and DICE have answered the call, and the end result is absolutely stunning. 2015’s Battlefront focuses on the original trilogy of films, pulling characters, weapons and vistas from Episodes IV, V and VI. And that’s the first thing players will notice, that this game is very much set in the Star Wars universe.

    The game modes are unique and each offer a specific challenge, but there isn’t much variety. Aside from objective-based modes like “Droid Run,” where players escort a Gonk Droid from one place to another, or “Walker Assault,” where the goal is to defend an AT-AT or take it down, most of everything else is kill or be killed.

    There’s Blast, the Battlefront take on traditional team death-match: Supremacy, an all-out war mode that tasks players with pushing the other team off the planet, and Fighter Squadron, which is essentially death-match in the air, exclusively.

    Also present are Hero-centric gametypes like “Heroes vs. Villains,” which is a six-on-six round-based mode where players assume the role of iconic Star Wars characters.

    And heroes is where the game shines best. Play as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader or Boba Fett. If that sounds like a small number of choices, that’s because it is. 2005’s Battlefront II had 23 heroes and villains. Here is where the new game finds its faults.

    There’s an overall lack of content here. The number of weapons and gear is in the tens and customization options are tied to face changes. But hey, EA has a $50 season pass ready for you to buy.

    Downloadable content isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when it looks like three-fourths of a game’s content has been removed to sell back later, there’s a problem. This season pass will contain four additional hero characters, 16 multiplayer maps and countless gear and guns.

    But it’s OK. Battlefront is a beautiful title with tight, natural gameplay and it’s a whole lot of fun. Nothing beats Force-choking as Vader, or leaping through the treehouses of Endor as Luke Skywalker with 20 Rebel soldiers charging into battle with you.

    Flying an X-wing is exhilarating and taking down a Walker with a tow cable is 10 tons of awesome. But for the future, EA should look to Battlefront as a platform, not a sequel machine. Take cues from Activision’s Destiny, a fully formed title that has released expansions over the past year.

    Let’s face it, Star Wars fans. Battlefront is the Star Wars game we want, but it doesn’t have all of the content it needs right now.

    Right look EA we all know you can make a game look pretty and we known you can make a shooter. Care to ever expand upon these very basic and widely known things.

Care to ever expand upon these very basic and widely known things.
    Star Wars Battlefront has few flaws but like with so many other titles out there refuses to exceed beyond the very basic traceable template you've made. This 'reboot' does nothing but repeat the exact same mechanics and properties of, surprise surprise, a Battlefield game. Actually now that I mention it this game has more in common with COD (activision) then a Battlefield game. It's repetitive and gets boring fast.
    Look here EA if you're going to buy your way into a big franchise like Star Wars and say you're going to reboot a beloved video game franchise... well then bloody try. The closest this game gets to Battlefront material is by looking and sounding like Star Wars. That's about it. EA have accomplished what thousands of indie developers starting out with a game engine for the first time could have done. For that I am truly disappointed.
    For the people that find enjoyment out of this game: good for you I'm glad. I don't find it hard to believe that someone can love this game but for the facts which they are using to defend this game are appalling. "This game is meant for MP players", "You need to level up more in order to gain enjoyment out of this game" well then excuse me and thousands of other people who assumed that the game would follow in its predecessors footsteps by including a legit single player campaign, some form of big scale single player battle mode and an easy and fun leveling up system. The joy of the previous Battlefront games were from the fact that everyone was equal with the same equipment so everyone stood a chance. Now I spawn next to someone who is above level 20 and I haven't made it passed 5 because I keep getting killed. Everything I wanted in this game that was in the others were torn out and replaced by nice graphics. Yesterday I played Tales of Zestrilia and that game proves that you don't need to have fancy graphics to make a game enjoyable. Hell the predecessors are still fun now with early stage PS2 graphics.
    Final words: 10/10 people- get out of your pit of denial and look at this game compared to a) it's predecessors b) any other game. It is massively disappointing and will never, not matter how much free DLC they throw in my face, will progress passed 5/10. Developers- delete that stupid template you have and think of something new that doesn't involve a rinse and repeat formula. The free DLC is a step in the right direction but it's a small one. Focus on your games first then move passed that.    … Expand

    If I had to imagine Battlefront EA as a person, I would envision Uma from the Witcher 3, except you can pay to make him less ugly. But he will always be a midget compared to Battefront 2.

    Battlefronts greatest thrills all occur within a few hours of playing. Once you get over the initial 'I'm in Star Wars' little things begin to pick apart at your overall enjoyment of the game. While it does look stunning and 'like the movies', having a server full (Gods willing) of helmet less, jet packing, pistol shooters does damage this image. Furthermore, who really cares if it looks like the movies, I'd rather take the characters and soldiers and take them to new and exciting battlefronts (pun intended). Much time was wasted to recreate scenes from the movie, which are picturesque but ultimately limited the maps available. As of current, the amount of content does not justify a $60 (US) price tag. While many players seem to enjoy it, unfortunately it does not have the enjoyment or depth of the previous Battlefronts and is unfit to claim to be its successor. It shares very little in common with it and really seems like a pathetic rip-off. I think I might just skip Battlefront 4 & 5 and get into Battlefront 6 to save myself some heartache. Just as people argue that Return of the Jedi is the worst in the trilogy, the Battlefront EA will suffer the fate.

    The current content is bland and uninspired, despite the rich design of predecessors. While it has its pros, the cons stick out glaringly as amateur mistakes considering DICE's pedigree. The reason it is so hated is purely because it lacks content, depth and had so much potential. The inclusion of emotes is a waste of animation time that could have been spent on campaign mode or something to occupy the interns, either way a waste of players controller space. The cancelled Battlefront had space battles and land battles that connected and was exactly what people wanted and had asked for numerous times. I feel that the current backlash is from a community that has lost patience over a long period of time. Battlefront 2 had both Clone Wars and Galactic Wars; also Space and Land battles. Battlefront 3 has Galactic war land battles. In ten to fifteen years time, I would expect Battlefront 7 to finally have space and land battles across all three trilogies.    … Expand

    It's not the most complex shooter, but it's the ideal pick-up-and-play experience for Star Wars fans. Stunning environments, solid shooting and immersive sound design mask the shortcomings. [Jan 2016, p.82]

    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.

    Spectacular production values help to make this game enjoyable in the early going, but it soon enough shows that it is painfully lacking in terms of maps and depth in its current form. [Issue#265, p.72]
