    Battlefront is on one hand a let down and on the other hand the Star Wars game I've always wanted to play.

    The let down. Why this has been left out I can only guess at. Space battles. These are as important to a SW fan as a fight between Vader & Luke. They may be behind a EA paywall but we'll see very soon I suppose. That brings me to the biggest let down. The lack of maps. I know    Battlefront is on one hand a let down and on the other hand the Star Wars game I've always wanted to play.

    That brings me to the biggest let down. The lack of maps. I know season passes are the norm now but this takes the p*ss.

    Now this is where the Star Wars fan in me takes over. Looking up at the sky and seeing Slave 1 chasing down the Falcon causes a geekgasm. Then there's the sound and sights. Running towards a target hearing the sound of laser blasts or the swish of a sabre is perfect. The music ramps up when a hero enters the battle and this adds to the atmosphere.

    Those moments stop this game from earning a 5. EA have screwed players over with the season pass and all of the modes except the Fighter battles feel like TDM.

    I know EA have added the battle of Jakku for free but this doesn't change a thing. I love Star Wars and I play this game every day but I feel a bit cheated.    … Expand

    Despite no story, if you liked the beta, you will like the game in whole. Fun game and feels like star wars, but the 69.99 (cdn) season pass kinda left a real bad taste in my mouth :(

    A fair score for this game how it is is a 7. Where this game falls short is its ability to grab my attention for extended periods of time, the controls, and the basis of any FPS, the shooting.

    Controls: 2/10 The fact that I am forced to keep my aim/shoot on L2-R2 where almost every other FPS is L1-R1 is a massive mistake. It feels unnatural. It feels uncomfortable. Its down right annoying. There should ALWAYS be a plethora of control options so players can tailor the controls to how they see fit.

    Targeting: 3/10The targeting is horrible. As many flaws as Destiny had, its core game-play should be a model for all FPS games. Battlefront is like trying to shoot clay pigeons with a shotgun. You have to lead your target whether your target is far or near. It just doesn't feel natural. That being said, I do like having to lead my target with long distant sniping. It actually requires skill and is very rewarding.

    Graphics: 10/10 Not much to say here. One of the most, if not the best, looking games on the PS4.

    SFX: 9/10

    Content: 6/10 There are enough different game modes to keep the PvP interesting for some time but the lack of campaign is difficult to swallow. Considering the scale of the Star Wars universe and what the core game delivered, its evident that EA will milk this game through DLC.

    Recommendations: Wait to pickup a used copy. Its a fun game to sit down and burn an hour or two but for extended periods of time it gets boring and probably will just make you suck at other FPS games considering how wack the aiming and controls are.    … Expand

    After 10 years and 2 cancelled projects that robbed us of a chance to battle the planets of Star Wars, a sequel has been released and it has arrived in a mixed bag.

I've played over 60 hours of this game and after the first 25 hours I didn't have too many grievances outside of EA's bad business plan. However the next 25 hours proved that the more I played it the more complaints I had about the gameplay.

    Positives:
    + Graphically the game looks fantastic and feels smooth. If any game deserves a optimisation and graphics award for 2015 its DICE for Battlefront. Very few frame dips below 60 even on console and very few(if any) glitches or bugs. Game feels like you're stepping into the Star Wars Universe.

    + Card System. While many criticise the card system compared to DICE's usual secondary weapons/ class modes I find it creates a better battle and more chaos which is always fun. Only having to wait for a grenade to refill is a lot better than having to wonder around looking for an ammo bag or someone who drops an ammo bag and shooting at them to try and communicate the face you need ammo.

    + Turning Point, Supremecy and Walker Assault. The 3 best modes in the game are massive and chaotic exactly what you'd expect from Star Wars battles. I do wish that had added conquest to these as well.

    + Fighter Squadron and Air vehicles. I do think they really nailed the controls for the air vehicles. I could never get the hang of the controls for the jets in battlefield and didnt think I would enjoy Fighter Squadron. How wrong I was. The controls, the speed and the open area of air space makes it easy to take flight in one of the vehicles.

    + Heroes and Villians, Playing as both heroes and villians is awesome. Each hero has their own ability set which are useful in certain game modes if you use them right. There is the game mode Heroes v Villians which really makes being the hero more challenging than getting a power up in regular games.

    Negatives:
    - Lack of maps and depth. Yep like everyone else I really hate that it was rushed out before the film to take advantage of the hype of the film. You can see it in the lack of maps, weapons, game modes and single player. If they had waited another 6 months they would have had a good solid game that wouldnt have everyone frothing at the mouth because of the disappointment. And then to charge $50 for a season pass is beyond ridiculous.

    - Game is too casual. I get that they wanted it to have an arcadic feel like the old games but I was hoping for a bit more of a competitive edge. Killing from afar is ridiculously easy even with a weapon that doesnt have a great distance rating, theres no bullet drop and zero recoil. Also there is Aim Assist to really show it casualness.

    - Imbalance between Empire and Rebels. Theres no consistency in balance in the game modes. Some maps and game modes its better to be the rebels and others its better to be the empire. In Walker Assault the empire have AT-ATs and AT-STs while the rebels have nothing. In Endor the empire only has only AT-AT, have camouflaged gear making them hard to see and some of the objective points are in really advantaged defence points.

    - Bobba Fett is ridiculously overpowered. He can fly in the air for an almost unlimited amount of time, has powerful main weapon and targeted torpedo secondary weapon. Hes really hard to hit and he can easily hit you. The hero ships in fighter squadron are ridiculously overpowered as well. It takes a huge amount of shots and time to shoot down either Slave I or Millennium Falcon.

    - DICE still have not been able to fix the collider issues with Frostbite 3. So many times I'd be trying to jump over a small rock or bit of debris and would get stuck. And these are small colliders where if it was in reality a small little jump would be enough to clear it.

    - Air Vehicles slow down. I really don't know why they decided to include this but when you pul back on the left analog when flying an air vehicle you can slow it right down. This means you're practically in the one spot and are able to turn 180 degrees without problem so you can continue to track a ship when they try to evade you. However this means that the ship is never able to evade you making the basic maneuvers absolutely pointless and makes the Fighter Squadron mode far too easy.

    Overall its a good shooter but falls flat due to its own bad publisher plan and by going the casual route. A lot of changes will need to be made in any future sequels to win back many fans.    … Expand

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

    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.

    I paid 28£ for a digital version of the game, and I think is worth that amount. I liked the gameplay , is a bit simplistic, but is something that somehow reminds me of the old school FPS, and that is good. Not much content, as everyone says, but if you can get some discount, you'll find a funny, graphically gorgeous, Star Wars game... and try not(!) to think about the old Battlefronts

    Sadly this game stands to be the biggest financial rip-off that I have ever seen to date as it's priced at £40 for the core game, & over £100 for the complete game!

    Star Wars fans will buy SWB for the hype, it will sell well & be enjoyed by casual gamers, & the core gamers will either tire of it quickly, or play it in addition to other similar games, as a secondary, or tertiary game, but I doubt as a primary one.    … Expand

    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

    Let me start off with the game's good quality's. The Graphics, sound, and design overall is fantastic. Plus the game feels like your in a true, real, star war's battle (especially on Hoth). But the game's fun factor soon fades due to the lack of content.

    There are to me personally, two good game modes, Supremacy and Fighter Squadron ( idk if thats the right name). All the rest seem to be filler game modes. Supremacy is a really good game mode, but seeing it only has 4 maps to go along with it kinda made it very repetitive after a while. The game also doesn't have much to offer to as of customization. I dont believe there is a single gun attachment. If that doesn't explain the lack of content i dont know what will.

    Also there is no campaign, just survival. Which is by the way a very, very bland and boring horde mode. The only good factor of survival is the opening and ending CGI moments. But in the end those only depress me in the way that i would have rather had a fully done story.

    Overall the game looks, sounds, and feels amazing (for a while). But lacks any real content to keep you playing. If your a true star wars fan i recommend buying this when the price is lower or picking up the season pass to ensure you get at least some more content in DLC form. If your not a hardcore fan, then you could pass on this, its really just a casual star wars experience.    … 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

    - 900p is not acceptable for current standards.
    - lacks content. Where are the space battles, all those iconic planets from the saga, the bots in multiplayer, the campaign, etc???
    - I'm not a fan of this new item based way to get vehicles. It's alot more immersive to have the ability to enter an hangar and jump to a vehicle. DICE have been doing this for years in Battlefield games, so why the step back?!

    All in all, and while it's far from perfect, SW Battlefront is an excelent experience for all Star Wars fans.    … Expand

    Yes ok it's a cash grab with the dlc and the base game is over priced, if you can pick it up cheap go for it as at it's core its a decent shooter. Don't just jump on the band wagon of hating EA they still make good games (just do some research before paying full price and pre ordering DLC)

    Battlefront looks and feels like Star Wars, and I was initially blown away. The magic of the Star Wars skin wears off however and the issues most evidently caused by EA's management start to surface.

    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.

    I'm still not sure how I feel about this game. Everyone's criticism with the game are completely on point but at the same time, I've justified buying this by saying to myself "can I get the same amount of fun or more from going out and drinking 3 nights?"

Anyway, here's what you get in the base game.

    4 Maps: They say you get more but that's total BS. It's 4 maps that and sections are cutoff and tweaked a little for small game modes

    3 Offline modes: Training - basically a tutorial but every game mechanic gets it's own quick little mission. Survival - you basic survival mode that you can play with a buddy offline, it gets real boring after one play though. Battle - You can fight a friend offline which can be fun if you're both similar skill levels, otherwise it's basically just beat up your friend who doesn't own the game mode.

    Character Customization: You can purchase a new head from a somewhat ethnically diverse selection with in-game points. The higher your level, you can unlock and purchase (in-game credits) one of the 3 hair styles for each head. Get near the high levels you can get a scout trooper, shadow trooper skin for the empire and a handful of different alien head for the rebels.

    9 Multiplayer Mods: There is suppose to be one more coming as well with the free dlc. So there actually is quite a few game modes, but you'll probably spend most of your time in Supremacy or Walker Assault. If you like dogfighting there is a mode just for star fighters where you jump into a big mess and shot down AI and Humies.

    I feel like we are giving EA a little too much flack for having a season pass since that has pretty much been the standard in AAA games for a while now. At least this one you're likely to get quite a bit of content in the DLCs. The big question of course is, how much of that should have been in the base game? More than what's there but the game is pretty, it's star wars and it's kind of fun so like a moth to the flame I go.    … 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

    Another thing to note is that the season pass is an absolute rip off not worth the £40 price tag, especially when you have already paid £45 for the game itself. The content that will be released as DLC (mainly maps) should have been included in the original game right from the start.

    Its great to venture into the Star Wars world but quite disappointing that the content out of the box is lacking.

There's no sort of campaign, which would've been a great addition; seriously, it's STAR WARS. The combat can get repetitive, the progression system is lackluster, and sometimes there really is no point to coming back to the game. I felt as if there could have been a lot more that this game could've given us, like space battles with TIE fighters and X-Wings or maybe even pod-racing.
    Overall, Battlefront is not a bad game, by any means. It makes you feel as if you're in the Star Wars universe, and the co-op and solo missions are great! However, there is hardly anything to come back to. It's fun for the most part, but after that, it's just average.

    Finally, EA has released the successor to the amazing Star Wars: Battlefront II that came out 10 years ago. We can now drop Star Wars: Battlefront II and start playing this game, on the new generation - right? Or does this game not live up to the standard that is Battlefront? Read this review to find out!

    A: Music/Sounds Oh my god! I can not get over how amazing the sounds and music    Finally, EA has released the successor to the amazing Star Wars: Battlefront II that came out 10 years ago. We can now drop Star Wars: Battlefront II and start playing this game, on the new generation - right? Or does this game not live up to the standard that is Battlefront? Read this review to find out!

    A: Music/Sounds

    Oh my god! I can not get over how amazing the sounds and music are in this game. Every shot from a blaster, the footsteps of a Stormtrooper - heck, even the lightning from Darth Sidious himself! If you get flashbanged, you feel like you really have been in real life! What I'm trying to say, is that the sounds of this game is perfect. The only issue is some of the voice acting. The voices for the Stormtroopers sound a little strange, and Darth Vader can say a few quirky quotes. But all of that can be forgiven. The quality of the sounds - from a Tie Fighter to a Grenade never disappoints in this game. Not to mention the amazing original Star Wars Music which everyone loves. With the sounds, you will not be disappointed.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    B: Graphics

    Much like the sounds, the graphics are quite possibly the best out of any Star Wars game ever. Heck, the graphics in this game are the best that I have ever seen out of any game, ever. I'm not even exaggerating here. The next-gen capabilities that this game shows off is magnificent. If you're on Endor, the detail that has gone into every little plant and tree does not go unnoticed. On Sullust, the amazing detail of the rocks and lava add to the atmosphere. The Stormtroopers are almost exactly like the movies. Absolutely perfect - the only issue is some of the character faces (No, I'm not talking about the heroes) the human faces of the Rebels/Stormtroopers do look a little undetailed, and stick out like a sore thumb in this game.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    C: Gameplay

    This is probably the part of the game that is done worst - besides story. The fluid gunplay and combat is perfect, but the game itself is a bit lacking. With 4 different environments that you can play on, it gets old pretty quickly. Out of the 9 (Or so) modes, most of them will be very small - and you probably will play them once, then never again. Most of the guns feel almost exactly the same, and there is only 11 guns! But the Star Cards make your character a little more unique. No more picking classes like you did in Star Wars: Battlefront II, you make your own class. And don't even get me started on the heroes. They're amazing! No matter who you play as, from Han Solo to Emporer Palpatine, they always feel unique. And no matter what level the enemy is, you will always be able to dominate them with a good Lightsaber Strike or Lightning Strike. And unlike Battlefront II, each of the Heroes have much different playstyles. Half the heroes in Battlefront II were basically just different skins. Unfortunately, there are only 6 heroes total - which is a little disappointing, to say the least. Considering this is EA, there is obviously going to be a horrid amount of DLC. And I'm not wrong - before the game even released, they dropped the bomb on a $75 AUD season pass. No one is a fan of DLC, but EA is the worst offender of it. At least EA stated that there will be free DLC down the track, like the Battle of Jakku - but it probably won't be as good as the paid DLC.

    6/10

    D: Online

    Now this is where the game truly stands out. Well, stands out at all in that matter. There are literally 3 different modes on Singleplayer - just don't bother. If you aren't going to play online, don't buy the game. You can't even play a nice game of Walker Assault by yourself and some bots. Now with online, it is pretty good, but not much to point out here. They have some pretty good matchmaking here on the PS4, but lag seems to be frequent for me. I might be playing as a hero, dominating some bad guys - but then the lag kicks in and it disables my controls (That is what automatically happens when the connection is really bad) the only problem is that everyone else still has their controls, and seem to be able to shoot pretty fluently. And then, you just die. It can really be frustrating, after finally finding that hero powerup after so long - or going still in the middle of a firefight. The Online matches can get pretty annoying, as you almost die instantly. But that can also be a good thing - it allows you to mow down enemies and feel really good about yourself - but then again it can get really freaking annoying when you die constantly. Like I said before, if you don't want to play this game online, do NOT buy it.

    7/10

    E: Story

    There is no story, unlike Battlefront: II. It wasn't much of a bummer for me, as I never played the campaign on Star Wars: Battlefront II but I'm just pointing it out for anyone else.

    0/10

    So in the end, is this game worth it? Well, it depends. Are you in for repetitive playing and Online only - not to mention a huge Star Wars fan? Yes!

    The third game in the series is great! Not perfect, but great. So let's get this going. The game has nine gamemodes, enough for someone like me who is playing only 6 of them. Multiplayer is really good and sometimes actually challenging... but there are times when the game is just to easy, once you get the best weapon,you are unstoppable.    Ahh...

    Supremacy: It's basiclly conquest mode from Battlefield 4, it's a 20vs20 game mode where players need to capture 5 "flags" (as I like to call them) and they can use pretty much every vechicle in the game. My favorite gamemode.

    Cargo: Cargo is a smaller Supremacy mode with cargo boxes instead of "flags". I don't like it that much.

    Droid Run: 6vs6 match where players need to capture three GNK Power Droids. Do I need to say more?

    Walker Assault: 40vs40 match where Rebels need to destroy AT-AT's and Imperials need to defend them. The mode is really unbalanced and I would not recommend playing it (as a Rebel at least).

    Blast: Classic 10vs10 deathmatch. Nothing to add really.

    Drop Zone: Escape pods are crashing into the planet and you need to capture them. Propably one of my favorite gamemodes.

    Heroes Vs Villains: Like the title says, Heroes (Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo) Vs Villains (Darth Vader, The Emperor and Boba Fett). Overall it's a fun mode and can be really frustrating when playing as some of the characters (Especially Leia, Han Solo and Boba Fett) but it's still a very good gamemode and would recommend to play it.

    Hero Hunt: 7 Rebels/Imperials vs 1 Hero/Villain. Your objective is to kill the Special Character and when you do so you turn into him and have to kill others, simple as that.

    Gameplay: So the game is simple, you shoot with blasters and sometimes can get into a vechicle or become a Special Character. The gameplay is really solid and is a lot of fun, I played this game for 40h and i'm still not bored of it! It's a really simple shooter that even casuals can play. Unfortunatly some modes (Walker Assault) are really unbalanced and need to be fixed. But still, no matter what the gameplay is great.

    Singleplayer: So this game doesn't really have a campaign. BUT! it has survival modes that you can play alone, or even with a friend in the same room (Which is a rare thing these days). Survival modes are repetetive and the main objective is basiclly to survive 15 waves. I don't like it and it's boring, even with friends. But there is also Hero Battles which you can play alone, or again with a friend in the same room. It's basiclly Heroes Vs Villains but two players only. I love it and spent 5h just in this mode.

    Multiplayer: I talked about it already, it's great and I love it.

    DLC: I didn't want to talk about it but you really need to know this if you haven't watched reviews. Game is lacking content, modes are rehashed and not original. Developers (DICE) said they would bring the rest of the content in a DLC, here's the problem. The season pass costs 50$, is it worth the price? We will see. One thing I respect though is how DICE WILL give out free DLC, actually they announced one free map for december already! I can't be mad but 50$ is a little too much in my honest opinion.

    Conclusion: The game is great but has many, maany flaws. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's great and I have tons of fun in it. Althrough it's worse than the previous Battlefronts, I still like it and I will propably play it all the time. 7/10 (No, It's not a bad score, it's above average)    … Expand

I occasionally found myself and an opponent killing each other at the same time which happened way too frequently, and as for grenades, i usually get killed by at least once a few seconds before spawning. Now the biggest problems i had are the Blasters Lack of variety feel. Its like you have your basic LMG, Assault Rifle, and Pistol. Each barley having any noticeable difference. the sights are also a bit too plain if you ask me..

    As for the solo or co-op experience - Ive only played survival with some friends and it seems to work well if there is anything i could say about it is it could've added a bit more variety and strategy for the enemy A.I.

    Customization - ok for this Category im going to keep it short.
    Lets be Honest who really wants to be an imperial and have human faces all the good trooper helmets and types are unlockable but at a high level of around 40 to 50 maybe even 60.
    Same goes for Rebels wouldn't you rather be a different Race besides all these human iterations? i mean you can unlock them but its going to take a lot of leveling up.

    The progression isn't as capturing or motivating until the you start reaching higher levels. But overall the gameplay is Fun even if its not as deep as it could be.

The expensive season pass does sure have some great content, but it isnt worth the price, I really want it but I dont want to pay the games price over again just to get that more content so I will just stick to the game as it is, enjoy it and wait for the season pass to lower in price which I hope it does.

    Positives:

    Graphics and Sound - Just... wow! So true to the original films and so immersive. Voice acting of heroes isn't great but you seldom play as them and get over it pretty quick.

    Gameplay - Arcade-style (no ADS) shooter but it works well and fits with the way previous Battlefronts played. Grenades aren't TOO spammy and things like the homing missile which could be game-breakingly OP have been tuned well and if you're by cover you can avoid them.

    Flying - This is not a flight simulator and the controls are relatively basic, but again, they work well and there is definitely a huge difference between skilled and new pilots. I am still learning new ways to shake of determined pursuers. If you can achieve air superiority in walker assault you can have a massive influence on the game. Strafing runs on ground targets can be absolutely devastating and really fun!

    Game modes - Walker Assault and Supremacy are the main ones but I disagree that other modes are redundant. I've had a lot of fun with Fighter Squadron and Blast (TDM) so far and am yet to try Droid run or Drop Zone.

    Accessibility/Skill Cap - You can pick up this game and learn the basics in no time making it great fun and very accessible. Equally, the difference between a skilled player and novice one is sizable. Especially in air combat! If you're skilled you can have a sizable influence on the outcome of a game by playing the objectives properly. I think the people who don't enjoy this game are the people who try to play it like cod and sneak round the side and try to just rake in kills. In a 40v40 game with accessible controls and vehicles, someone is definitely going to kill you if you try that and you wont be going on many mad kill streaks that way.

    Negatives:

    Content Quantity - everyone has massively over-stated this but in fairness, I do think they're about 2 planets short of a sufficiently large game to warrant the price tag. The Battle of Jakku will be free when it comes out in Dec so really, they're only one planet short which is forgivable.

    Weapon Design - Blasters handle quite bizarrely at long range. Some are technically accurate (i.e. a small spread) but often the lasers don't seem to be going where you expect and it takes some mental adjustment. Equally, a fully-auto blaster can hit and quickly kill you from absolutely miles away if shot right and can make for some somewhat frustrating long-range stand-offs and really random deaths at times. The actual sniper rifle star card is reasonably challenging to use and should be the main method of sniping at range, I think blasters should be significantly tuned-down at longer ranges. Also turrets and vehicles like the AT-ST handle very strangely. Often find myself needing to aim much higher than the crosshairs would make you believe in order to shoot where I want to. Needs some patching but not game-breaking in any way.

    Team Balancing - the teams in a lobby will stay the same game after game (and you alternate between Rebel and Imperial each match. This is fine most of the time but occasionally you will get a very unbalanced lobby with one very dominant team which remains the same game after game. You can just leave the lobby but it's not ideal. The partner system seems to prevent massive premades though so that helps a bit.

    All in all, this is a great game and I actually enjoy playing this with a friend more than CoD (although cod edges it out for solo-queuing as I love hardcore mode). It certainly has it's place in my collection along side Black Ops 3 and Fallout 4 for this winter and with a few adjustments could be a top-notch multiplayer game.    … Expand

    This game wasn't something I couldn't wait to get. However, once it was released I did buy it. I am very happy with the game for the most part. There could be more maps to play on though. And the controls are a little tough to get used to when flying. Other than that I am pretty happy. The graphics are amazing. Game play is very fun online but is lacking a "mission" in single play.

I think people should understand 2 things when buying this game, which in my opinion are the two big negatives that people are really upset about:

    1) This is not going to be the same experience you had with the previous battlefront games 10 years ago. Quit simply, this game currently does not play like the previous ones did. There is no classic 'conquest' mode to it-while 'supremacy' is similar, the way its set up causes the game to not flow like the old battlefront did at all. There is no strategy really in terms of attacking-no flanking, nothing like that. In supremacy (which seems to be the mode most people play) at any one time there is at most 2 bases in play-they will be bases that are right next to each other, so there is a constant 'front line' effect (where everybody is fighting in the same spot), which essentially rules out any real tactics that would be involved. I think most people who were very excited for this game to come out were people who previously played this game and wanted it to essentially be like the older games with larger maps, more maps, and better graphics. You won't get that, this will be an overall different FPS experience. The air combat seems to be pretty bad. I prefer to run around and shoot as opposed to flying an x-wing or whatever, however even I noticed that the flying is pretty bad. I would also say that currently the game modes that involve 'heroes' are not so fun. For Battlefront 2, the Mos Eisley hero fight was epic fun. It's not quite the same on this.

    2) EA, in classic style, is trying to get as much money out of this as they can. In doing so, the game that is currently on the market is incomplete. That is the main reason this game is getting bad reviews. In a year this game will be a 9/10. However, the game that is currently on the market only has maps on 4 planets; Hoth, Endor, Tatooine and Sullust (a world thats important in the expanded universe of star wars but never in the movies). There are only currently 6 heroes-Luke, Vader, Leia, Jango Fett, the Emporer and Han Solo. When you consider that the previous game (which came out 10 years ago) had more hero options-thats quite annoying. There seems to be a lack of game modes, but again, the lack of game modes, heroes, and maps will all be resolved when more expansions come out. However, you will end up paying anywhere from $50-$80 for these expansions, which is bad and we as a gaming community should not support these practices.

    While I've ranted a bit about the negatives, it's time for some good things about this game. The graphics are stunning. Probably the best I've seen in a FPS ever. Also, the gameplay is incredibly smooth. I've experienced no lag, no servers crashing, nothing of the sort, even once. I personally find the controls intuitive and once you get the hang of the style of this game, I find myself generally being one of the top 3-4 players each match, having an absolute blast jumping around in my jet pack, using my ion shots to blow up turrets or piss of people who are in vehicles. The game can be great, mindless fun. While I've read some reviews that rip on the upgrades and customization-I think those are actually pretty good. You have a dozen guns to choose from, you can purchase like 100 different outfits your character (depending on level), and they added an option where you can essentially have a special ability (For me I shoot ion bullets) which adds another element to the game completely. The maps that are there are good, which gives me faith that newer ones that come out will be good as well. You can also run around and pick up upgrades, which adds another element. You never know if that grenade that landed next to you is just a thermal detonator or thermal imploder, or whether you are being locked by a homing shot or an infantry turret.

    If you will only be satisfied with this new Battlefront if it plays like the previous ones, I would say do not purchase. It will not be with your time or disappointment that this is a different game. I would also say that if money is an issue for you at all that I would wait a year or so to purchase. All of the expansions will probably be on a single disc that will be only $60 by then. However, if you have an open mind (sounds kinda lame I know), and simply love fun, first person shooters I say this is a decent purchase. You absolutely will enjoy playing this game, the graphics are stunning, the gameplay is incredibly smooth, the soundtrack is great, you will feel like you are in the world of star wars. However, shame on EA (or maybe us) for obviously using the Battlefront franchise to take as much money from people as possible. I think if they waited a little bit and released a complete version of this game, the sheer volume of people purchasing it would have given them more profit than the current state of people purchasing it, and then paying for upgrades.    … 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

It will always keep coming back to this game if I want a few quick matches and I am looking forward to the further DLCs, but I just wish the base game included the content they're charging a further £40 for.

    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

One problem for the game is that there is NO CAMPAIGN! This has pissed me off and a lot of other people and the single player missions are fun for 5 minutes and then become chores. But again I can not stress enough how good the Multiplayer is. Overall is does not blow me out of the water and is something close to Battlefield but with a Star Wars skin.… Expand

    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.

    I'm genuinely torn about this game. I have always liked Battlefield since its inception so giving me a Battlefield style game wrapped with Star Wars was guaranteed to make both my Battlefield and Star Wars inner fanboy happy. By and large, I do enjoy the game, even the run-and-gun nature of the ground combat because, honestly, that frenetic pace is consistent with the Star Wars universeI'm genuinely torn about this game. I have always liked Battlefield since its inception so giving me a Battlefield style game wrapped with Star Wars was guaranteed to make both my Battlefield and Star Wars inner fanboy happy. By and large, I do enjoy the game, even the run-and-gun nature of the ground combat because, honestly, that frenetic pace is consistent with the Star Wars universe (see: Hoth in ESB, Endor in RotJ).

    That said, however, it's certainly NOT a *Battlefront* game. It's nothing like the former Battlefront titles and despite the amount of multiplayer modes presented it feels shallow. No decent single player function outside of a handful of really boring missions with only a handful of AI populating the large maps and no story mode. The game really sticks to the Original Trilogy timeline which is OK to a point but really limits overall locations they could use. I'm not a huge fan of the prequel trilogy but I can't help but think it would have been somewhat amazing to have Clone Wars locations or even the whole Geonosis/Hunt for Count Dooku battle. The cynic in me thinks these things might yet make an appearance... if one is willing to dish out the money for the season pass.

    I've also noticed the game is particularly buggy and frequently laggy. Hit detection is off significantly at times, especially with vehicle combat. You can replicate this issue frequently by doing the Snowspeeder training on Hoth: The AT-STs randomly ignore blaster fire even when the game registers a hit on the UI reticule. I can live with this to an extent because of the run and gun nature of some of the modes but it tends to ruin the larger modes that include both vehicles and heroes.

    There is one thing I am NOT torn about and that is the fact that the dogfighting mode, Fighter Squadron, is absolute garbage. DICE had the opportunity to pick up the baton that was dropped by LucasArts following the ancient X-Wing Alliance but what was delivered is a sluggish, bland, aerial fighting game. The mode doesn't even take place in space, which I can't understand since it would have taken less effort to populate a three dimensional spacescape than the current terrain being used. The differences between TIE, TIE Interceptor, X-Wing, and A-Wing are nominal, at best all but defeating the purpose. The shields granted to the rebel ships effectively double their health and make it nigh impossible to destroy them even with a barrage of ion torpedoes and blaster fire from the TIEs. And it is THIS mode where the hit detection and lag problems are at their worst as you can often unload your weapons into an enemy ship only for it to register zero damage or you may be tracking down a ship only for it to magically warp a hundred (game) meters behind you where it's now locking onto you instead. I was genuinely excited for this mode and I really don't want to play it anymore until they rebalance the ships, their perks, and add some extra control sensitivity options for flying vehicles separately.

    Ultimately, I feel like this is too shallow of a game to give a great score to. It's fun to pop in and play a few ground combat rounds but that's it. Even though the Battlefield and Star Wars parts of me enjoys playing, I feel like this could have been so much more than it was. Alas, I sit here waiting for a true successor to Battlefront, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter/X-Wing Alliance, and Jedi Knight. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm going to be waiting a long, long time.    … Expand

There are moments where I found Battlefront to be a good game, but they were quickly erased once I realized that the first 2 hours were going to be my favorite moments. I streamed this game over Twitch and put a full 10 hours toward it before passing final judgment, and just like the viewers that I was engaging with and talking about the game with, I found myself very disappointed. This is not a complete and total failure, but it's a game that just never fully developed. Playing in Star Wars vehicles are frustrating because the aiming systems are complete garbage - no matter what sensitivity you use it's impossible to glide your crosshair over enemies - probably why you have to use a left-trigger/left-button to lock on to enemy air fighters. I constantly crashed into stuff trying to attack infantry from the air even after 30+ attempts to master the controls. Keep in mind that I am a great pilot in Battlefield and am a very experienced shooter player, so it's not coming from an inept casual player that is sad he can't cut it. I expect more from DICE and EA since Battlefield is fairly deep (and now includes a single player mode, even if it's just okay in terms of quality). Visiting the battlefields of the Star Wars universe and hearing the wonderful Star Wars soundtrack in the background are the best treats to have, but everything else about Battlefront is half-baked. The DLC is $50 in season-pass form and stands as DICE's opportunity to improve this game. Some might enjoy this game, so don't completely throw it out as a possible must-have game for you, but unless decent graphics, a soundtrack and nostalgia are enough to satisfy you, your $60 is better spent on other great games (Fallout 4 is a good buy in lieu of Battlefront, or even Black Ops 3 - I can't believe I'm recommending a CoD game over Battlefront).… Expand

    Once you get over the aesthetics, you're done with the game. It is BADLY missing the content to pull you in for the long run in terms of multi-player, and the whole thing absolutely screams for a Bioshock Infinite style single player narrative experience, but gives you nothing of the sort.

    The gameplay is lacking a bit as well. No recoil, no feedback to weapon firing and no aim penalty to moving or jumping etc. However, I think that is by design, as the game is going all out to attract casual gamers who are Star Wars fans, rather than the eSport crowd.

    If you go into this looking for a fantastic shooter, you're going to be sorely disappointed. If you go into this as a Star Wars fan who happens to own a PS4 or whatever, and all you want is the feeling of being in the movies, then you'll love this... for a couple of days anyway.    … 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.

I wish they had taken a page from destiny with its open world approach and some more co-op stuff i would love a death star raid to kill the emperor or could city to capture solo. The game has its moments but they are fleeting and only tend to happen if you find a good team or pick up a hero power-up I would suggest waiting till the other dlc releases then buy it in the complete edition that tends to drop after 6 months or so.… Expand

    Yes, there are NOT enough maps at all (pretty much only 4), but the saying the game does not have enough content is ludicrous! There are a bunch of different game modes to play, and coop missions too along with admittedly tedious and limited customisation, but it's still there if you want it.
    Now why should you not hate? It's simple; the game provides fun and exciting gameplay that really capture the essence of star wars. Sound tracks are (for the most part) great and sound design is astonishing! The guns are fun to use and combat is hectic but solid. The graphics are movie-like, seeing some of the stuff happen in game brings a tear to your eye at how good it is!
    Honestly though, I am pissed about EA's money whoring season pass but i'm still enjoying the game, and i'm not being childish about it. Sadly doesn't live up to the originals but is a worthy contemporary take on the game. I will buy the season pass mainly because i'm enjoying the game and if you don't like the game don't worry, you don't have to buy the game!
    On an additional note, voice acting is a little dodgy. It's a good, fun game, and looks incredible. Don't mess up the ratings systems with your tantrums.

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

    The gameplay is fast and high paced the player is encourage to use hip fire if your are playing first person(i mostly play 3rd person however i also play 1st person every now and then) making gameplay quite high paced. This is where it gets bad. There is obviously a lack of content the big one being no conquest game mode meaning that you are stuck with mostly small scale warfare the biggest being Walker Assault. And although it is a larger scale battle it still doesn't make up for the lack of an enormous Conquest battle which could have been amazing with the potential of modern tech.

    I have noticed that many people are quite upset about the fact that there is not campaign tbh i am not that upset about the lack of a campaign being as the originals didn't really even have one to begin with it was really just matches against a computer and if you consider that a intriguing campaign then you should consider raising your standards. However that doesn't mean i wouldn't like the option to have a match against an ai so i am going to fault them on that, because the single player although fun to play with friends isn't really that intriguing after you play each one through a couple of times.(btw this game does have split screen so props to you dice)

    A few misc complaints vehicle spawns at times can be very frustrating especially when i spawn directly in front of an enemy x wing. Also there is one very frustrating weapon called homing shot which enrages me to no end essentially it is a stinger missile for people. It is absolutely ridiculous to get killed over and over again by this weapon that requires absolutely no skill to use what's even worse is that even at full health it's an instant kill weapon.

    Overall fun shooter mechanics and gorgeous visuals and sound quality however lack of conquest and lack of weapons make for and inferior game. I had a lot of hope for this game and in the end it left me kind of disappointed.    … Expand

You can only get vehicles if you find power-ups on the battlefield. There is a much better way to do this, but EA was afraid of ripping stuff from other series like Battlefield. If they would have taken the essentials from other games and just added in Star Wars things, the game would be a lot better. Graphics are great as usual from DICE. Sound and atmosphere are spot on. Even though I have many problems with this game, I still enjoyed playing it. The lack of content disappoints me, and I'm sure as hell not buying the Season Pass, but I'm looking forward to the sequel so that DICE and EA can fix some of these problems, and add in a Campaign, and Clone Wars stuff(and Sequel trilogy content).

    With that in mind, I must say my experience with this game was mixed. It ranged from incredible moments of intense gunplay to infuriating rage thanks to the retard matchmaking and the impossibility of playing with my friends. The game offer little content, certainly doesn't worth 60 bucks. But if you can get passed that you can still have some super casual fun, if you don't care about playing almost alone (only 1 "partner" allowed), and the unbalanced gameplay. And yes, it is unbalanced. I know it is casual but they managed to make a weapon in which you don't even have to aim, it kills in 1 shot, and can be combined with a perk that completely removes the cooldown. All that in a shooter. It is proof that DICE/EA don't take the game seriously.

    Positives:

    - Superb graphics. Seriously, this thing is pretty. Those forests and volcanic areas are jaw dropping;
    - Great map design for infantry modes, which is the ones I play the most. I've been a little disappointed with BF4 maps (after awesome BF3 maps). But in Battlefront they nailed it;
    - Dice really knows how to make the game sound vivid. The same intense sounds you've seen in Battlefield series;
    - Multiplayer is simple and can be fun if there isn't any jerk abusing OP weapons (which is rare).

    Negative
    - Worst content/cost ratio I've ever seen. No way this game has U$ 60 worth of content;
    - Unbalanced gameplay. Favors camping and non-skill players. There's no reason for you to play "fair", trying to have fun with your little laser gun, when everyone is using homing shot missiles in your face all the time. I could just do the same and use it but I refuse to. There's no fun in that. Fortunately I can still counter this homing shots and manage to perform nicely but I feel for people that doesn't;
    - Matchmaking is utterly broken. No server browser whatsoever and half of the time I have to wait for minutes to get into a match and the other half the game simply won't get me into any match at all. It just opens a new match with me and only me in it and no one else will fill the remaining slots. Until I give up playing a certain type of game;
    - The "space combat" is laughable. I've never seen something so underwhelming.

    With some tweaking on the gameplay and the servers this game could even be a decent choice for the casual player. It still is damn expensive for the amount of content it offers. There is some fun buried deep into this game but it is just too broken right now. This of course, if you can get passed the fact this was never meant to be a sequel to Battlefront II.    … Expand

Training is a series of tasks which prepare you for the Multiplayer. Battle is just a mini game of battles where you play as Darth Vader defending the base against incoming rebels. Its repetitive and there are similar battle scenarios with other characters, etc. Survival simply makes you face waves of incoming enemies, the standard we have seen in other games like Call Of Duty. The Multiplayer feels in-between Battlefield and MAG online. Its very repetitive and lacks depth, but it can be fun for a small period of time through one sitting.

    To conclude, while Star Wars Battlefront is not a good game, its neither a bad game, its ok. Its a game for someone who really likes battlefield and is a massive fan of Stars Wars.

It doesn't help that the free DLC they included, might as well have been part of the original game and no one would've batted an eye. Star Wars: Battlefront follows the trend of modern games that don't include a story campaign, and allows for consumers to unlock certain things sooner, for a fee. I think Dice is an awesome game developer, but it matters little who the game developer is, as long as a publisher like EA, Activison or Ubisoft dictates the amount of, and what kind of content they're allowed to make.… Expand

    You objectives are hammered by simplicity and lack of traversal options, which look all the more ridiculous in third-person as you see your trooper struggling to surmount a small ridge. Battlefront feels outdated, and the unlockable jump pack doesn’t do much to improve things, its overly long cool-down preventing repeated uses.

    Performance is generally very smooth in-game, though there are some noticeable instances of texture pop-in on vehicles and the landscape, primarily in pre-game fly-bys or in the singleplayer missions. While the singleplayer and multiplayer missions take place on a few different maps, you’re limited to four planets – Hoth, Tattooine, Endor and Sullust. I would have loved to see more on offer, and though extra locations will be added later that doesn’t really help with the initial sense that there’s not enough meat on the game’s bones.

    Overall, kind of eh.    … Expand

But this game doesn't feel like Battlefield with a Battlefront coat of paint, (which would actually be pretty cool) it feels like Call of Duty with a Battlefront coat of paint, which is a terrible mix. 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. I'm gonna say the same thing I said about Hardline, don't buy Battlefront. Buy BF4 or BF1, but don't buy this. It is simply not worth your money or time.… Expand

    This is not the Battlefront of old, but a flashy rehashing of a concept that once worked and now falls short. Its multiplayer is astounding- for the first few hours.

Its multiplayer is astounding- for the first few hours. After that, the repetition of the game's core mechanics and incredibly redundant perks, known as "cards", becomes quite tiresome. Singleplayer is a joke, as is local splitscreen. No longer can you wage huge battles with or against your friends locally, that mode has been reduced to a strictly competitive 4v4 death match, rendering local play pretty boring. Survival mode is fun the first time, but also quickly grows stale.

    With only 4 actual maps (Tatooine, Endor, Hoth, Sullust) and no ground vehicle options for the Rebel side, it's obvious this game was a money grab through and through. It is not worth retail, and I can only thank the lord I didn't opt for the deluxe edition since you get all the deluxe content in the regular edition anyways, just at a later stage in the game. I hope beyond all hope the free content I've been hearing about comes and in droves, this game sorely needs new maps, BETTER (not more) game modes, and a vehicle rehashing.

    More negatives: you can't customize your weapons, squads are reduced to simply you and one other partner, you can't identify enemies on the battlefield like in Battlefield, you have literally no sidearm ever except your cards (which I feel takes a layer out of the multiplayer experience as I sit and wait for my sniper rifle to recharge for 30 seconds in an excellent position), air combat is incredibly easy and with incredibly predictable spawns makes retaking aerial supremacy downright impossible... I could go on all day.

    It looks fantastic and the sound design is the best video games have to offer, but do not be fooled and judge this book by its cover. You're better off getting Fallout 4 and Rainbow Six Siege this holiday season, at least until the free content downloads start coming.    … Expand

    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.

    Beautiful graphics and engrossing audio with shallow shooting mechanics and highly questionable game mode/map design.

    The game just got boring after 2 hours and fortunately he was able to refund it.
    I am happy tho that most of you got burned, because u guys need to learn to stop pre-ordering games (especially from EA!). they even revealed what was going to be missing. All in all the game has beautiful graphics, decent sound and thats about it.    So I didnt buy the game but played it at a friends house.

    God how I wanted to love this game so much. I like many played the Beta and enjoyed it, from the gripping battle on Hoth I was taken back by the beautiful visuals. However even from that point the seeds of doubt planted themselves in my head.

I like many played the Beta and enjoyed it, from the gripping battle on Hoth I was taken back by the beautiful visuals. However even from that point the seeds of doubt planted themselves in my head.

    Graphically I don't think any of us have a question with what DICE has done yet again. The sounds and visuals are stunning from the blinding snow fields of Hoth to the deep woods of Endor. It's "pretty" to be blunt. I have no doubt that any fans of Star Wars or those that have experienced this engine before will enjoy the flashes of red lasers flying over their heads and diving for cover when one of those pesky rebels toss a thermal at you.

    Star Wars fandom aside what are we left with?

    The maps though well designed from what I've experienced are limited to 4 for those looking for the "conquest" style of play from Battlefield. Supremacy and Walker assault provide 40 man battles but comprise a 4 map rotation. Now for me that's weak and I'll tell you why. Yes they look stunning, yes I love the sound but in the end the wonder does start to wear off that's just a fact of it. You pick up vehicles by dashing for the pick ups, which are the occasional AT which I've never seen more than one on a map at a time or fighters. Now the fighters are cool but if you are fighting on the ground chances are they are going to ignore you. So what you are left with is a giant infantry battle with the Empire only being able to field one AT at a time, I don't feel the desperation as a rebel.

    I don't know what to say other then it gets boring. You cannot prone, crouching doesn't effect weapon accuracy and the guns feel about the same. You have your blaster, heavy blaster (light mg), pistols (smg) from my understanding and the odd burst weapon and a "shotgun". The selection is small and though I don't expect a wealth of weapons I made the assumption that you literally can make up whatever weapons you want and you made about a dozen. If we compare that to COD or Battlefield its laughable, I have more sidearms to pick from then main weapons. If you look at the original battlefronts you have sniper rifles that aren't specials, grenade launchers, sonic weapons and...well more creativity.

    Gun play I'm not sure is going to entice hardcore gamers as its more family friendly and has a wider audience appeal. Its easy to pick up and play and the learning curve is minimal. Since even kneeling in cover means nothing as a guy running and gunning has about the same accuracy as you that's the ball game.

    I think my problem is I expected Battlefield and that was silly of me. I remember Star Wars Battlefront fondly. Even if the singleplayer was basic maps with a bit of a story I still completed it because A) its Star Wars and B) it was still a challenge. I remember crash landing during space battles to destroy the other teams ship and shouting at my clone marine to run faster.

    I'm not sure what Star Wars Battlefront is trying to be. It has none of the diversity of COD or Battlefield. Limited weapons, no weapon customization, character customization is just for fun but even in Star Wars I looked at my options and went meh. Vehicles are one the AT that you can actually move the AT-ATS when you do get inside is for a limited time and is a mobile artillery piece..still fun. Fighters are what you expect but with even your blasters being able to lock on it makes the game "family friendly" in terms of skill. You have more turret options to use then vehicles. If this was a battlefield clone but Star Wars I probably would have been more happy. I just feel this is cashing in on the hype of Star Wars right now. People can say its fun and ya it is, I'll still play it from time to time but I feel like I've experienced everything it has to offer and the day isn't over yet.

    I would have liked the pick ups in game to be removed completely and perhaps a kill streak award instead. Anyone can take the hero pick up which is great for people and at the same time why is Darth Vader running in circles? The cards are perks but by another name. I have no real complaint with them but no praise either.

    I gave it a 6/10 because my really disappointment despite everything is you had such an open book with this game in terms of what could be down with it. The result is a game lacking the multiplayer depth of even the original games in my opinion or its rivals COD, BF etc. Perhaps my dream was unrealistic but this game doesn't feel finished. In a galaxy far far away you visit maybe four-five planets out of the entire star wars universe. The season pass doesn't do it for me as I don't think we as gamers need to pay money for a game that just doesn't feel finished.

    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]
