    The multiplayer is ok. Similar to Battlefront one but they've added classes and removed the bonus pick-ups (you know use your score to choose pick-ups). The modes are pretty much as you expect, conquest type, rush type, team death match and spaceship battles..

    It's Starwars enough said, oh and those lootboxes well you don't have to use them. The first game was limited to online only, but Battlefront2 has a campaign that you can play offline. With lots of characters to unlock and maps to explore, Starwars Battlefront 2 is huge fun for anybody especially if they're a Starwars fan.

    Its a perfect SW game that understands the most important thing about SW : lore.
    The maps are source-book perfect (with minor alterations for gameplay)
    The balsters feel great

    the only issue is cross-era gameplay

    What many dont understand is that :
    Chars are FREE you cant buy them.
    No season pass.

    If you put aside the horrendous wailing about lootboxes from the fanboys what you'll find is a competent feature rich game packed with a strong campaign, excellent multiplayer (which at the time of writing is still going strong) and tons of unlockables. There's still no better way to scratch your Star Wars itch.

You can level up and learn the basics in this mode really well - it’s still multiplayer but only 4vs4 with the rest c- the rest of the teams are made up of AI bots so you can actually rack up kills and level up too.

The game launched with micro-transactions, pay-walls, bugs, and a general disregard for the player, focusing instead on maximizing profits. At launch this game represented the height of industry greed, which is clearly reflected in the user reviews. Now, in 2020, the game has become the example, which all other developers should follow, of how to make things right with the gaming customer. The micro-transaction/ Loot box system is gone from the game in any meaningful way. It used to be that you were required to farm loot boxes to unlock ability cards to make your characters competitive in multiplayer but now all ability cards are unlocked simply by progression with a healthy, not too lengthy, grind to level up each class and hero. It feels like after a short investment of time you can compete with any class/hero/vehicle simply by playing the game rather than by investing real money to buy loot boxes that could potentially give you a chance to earn the cards you wanted to play with. Real money purchases now are only really used to help buy certain skins for troopers and heroes, but keep in mind that these skins can be earned without any purchase simply by achieving in-game milestones to earn credits. The game itself is a large scale battle to capture various objectives or prevent the opposing team from doing so. 2 teams of up to 20 people fight it out using a selection of customizable standard troopers and earn battle points for kills, assists, buffs, and objective play. Once you earn enough battle points, you can cash them in to upgrade yourself to a more capable 'reinforcement' trooper or play as one of the iconic Star Wars heroes. Combat is usually played out in a third person perspective, or optionally a first person view, and feels tight and precise, for the most part. There are large scale battle modes, as mentioned, small player vs. player battle modes, star fighter play modes and hero battle modes. Each of the modes has a different feel, with the main modes feeling close to the Battlefield franchise, the star fighter modes feeling like an excellent space fighter simulation and the heroes vs villains mode feeling like a hectic game of Super Smash Bros. There are other less popular modes including excellent co-op scenarios, a hero showdown/duel mode which has a competitive fighting game vibe, and some fun distraction modes for variety; all of which have different feels and allow the player of ton of variety all within the same game. Visually, the game is absolutely beautiful, start this up on your system and I promise you that you'll be impressed with everything you see. One of the best things that has come out of the public shaming at launch, is a clear desire, from the developers, to make things right. The game has received multiple content updates since launch and has clear game plan for more content through 2020, meaning that there will be new features and gameplay to keep players excited for some time. The best part of he content updates is that everything is free, and many of these new maps, troopers and heroes would have taken substantial resources to create; I'm honestly shocked that they are releasing new content, for free, this far after launch. My gripes with the game are few; there are a few occasionally buggy moments that can bring minor frustrations, some balance issues in the Heroes vs Villains mode, including some pretty nasty stun-locking that can leave you feeling a little demoralized but mainly problems just arise from poor team play and bad tactics. I have confidence that the active development team are still working away to remedy any issues with the game and make an enjoyable experience for the community.

    In Summary: disregard all the launch reviews. This game has grown to become one of the best multiplayer shooter experiences available today. There has been a ton of post-launch content with lots more still to come by an active development team. There is so much to do in-game that you can expect hours and hours of enjoyment from very little financial investment. Now that the game is 2 years old, the price has dropped significantly and provides incredible value. Get it.    … Expand

    SAVED through the updates. The definitive Star Wars multiplayer experience. Story is still weak (I'd give it a 5/10).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Comeback worth noting.
    At launch, this game was nothing more than disappointing and even more pay to win than the first game.
    I think it took somewhere near 4500 hours of grinding or 2100$ to unlock everything in the game.Thankfully, EA removed it and now you get every Hero when playing the game.
    The progression system with that was awful, EA removed it. EA even managed to not reward players when buying loot boxes because everything you were getting was crap.Even the editions were pay to win. Thankfully EA removed everything and redeemed themselves after many updates.
    The Campaign is not great because after the second mission your character realizes that the Empire is evil and becomes Leia Organas Personal Bodyguard. So basically, they lied to us in the trailers because only the gameplay from the perspective of the Empire was shown.
    The Gameplay is better than in Battlefront 1 and every mode is fun with friends.
    The Graphics set an impressive standard for Battlefront lll and are really good for a 2017 game.
    This Game is 20 Bucks now and It is worth it.    … Expand

    The best place to go if you want a great all round Star Wars gaming experience.

    I like the game now. As of the beginning of 2021, it holds up very well and has DEFINITELY progressed like it should from ground bottom. I feel confident in writing this review seeing as in spring of 2020 it stopped receiving updates but it is no longer a wallet invading, manipulative **** game but a full fledged AAA title that is worthy of that place.

    While the game was a micro-transaction haven at launch, Dice have done a pretty decent job at fixing it. The game play is still fun and Resurrection is short but sweet. I would say it is worth picking up.

    Yes, it had a bad start, and yes, EA loves to cash grab, but the gameplay is actually pretty good. The OG Star Wars: Battlefronts from 2003 and 2005 are better, but it's still a pretty good game, and we should appreciate how much effort they put in to make it a better game.

    The game is good despite the unsuccessful release. I've been playing it since launch. at first I would give it 2 out of 10, but now it is already 8 out of 10. the game has great graphics and control. For those who are considering buying, I say: I recommend.The campaign was a little short, but it does not change the fact that it is still a good game

    The people who gave Star Wars Battlefront II a negative review need to come back and have a play of this game now. It has changed so much since launch day that it really does not deserve the 1.6 user score for the amount of effort the development team has put in updating this game to its true potential. It is so fun now and I have put well over a 100 hours in this game. Galactic Assault,The people who gave Star Wars Battlefront II a negative review need to come back and have a play of this game now.

It is so fun now and I have put well over a 100 hours in this game. Galactic Assault, conquest and heroes vs villains are the best game modes in the game and its what I put my hours into. As a massive fan of Star Wars, this is a dream come true. You can play all your favorite characters in star wars and use the variety of different blasters and vehicles to defeat your opponents. Boba Fett is my favorite villain just because of the fact that it pisses so many people off. The amount of salt they accumulate in the messages they send to me is so funny and I would definitely recommend a try of Boba Fett. My favorite class is assault along with the specialist at times depending on the map (hoth and crait are the perfect maps to snipe people) which are just so fun to play. Star Wars Battlefront II can be describe as the star wars version of battlefield and I absolutely adore it. Overall, definitely worth a buy.… Expand

    Pretty good campaign, although predictable and tiresome and pretty cringe at times. Really good multiplayer though, with lovely graphics and sound. But it is a bit too difficult and competitive online. So, as a casual player, prepare to get frustrated. But that seems the norm for online games today.

    Though you may see this game flooded with bad reviews, most are from the initial release, which in all honesty, was terrible. However, since the release, many of the issues have been resolved and the game is now pretty solid despite the fact that EA has cut support on it. Overall a good game.

    It's a cool story in which Lucasfilm got the plot right, for me particularly a Star Wars fan, I enjoyed it a lot, besides the gameplay is light and easy, which lets you analyze the story and get involved in the game, the differential of this the game has no sides, so its focus is entirely on the story. only problem I found was that for those who don't understand the history of Star WarsIt's a cool story in which Lucasfilm got the plot right, for me particularly a Star Wars fan, I enjoyed it a lot, besides the gameplay is light and easy, which lets you analyze the story and get involved in the game, the differential of this the game has no sides, so its focus is entirely on the story. only problem I found was that for those who don't understand the history of Star Wars find the story boring, and would only have fun with the battlefield. But all in all, it's a very entertaining game that I've spent many hours playing.

    Battlefront II is fan service and little else; much respect to the craft, the attention to detail and the wealth of content, but sadly it just isn't enough. It's starting to feel as if Star Wars simply isn't a franchise suitable for this type of sprawling, large-scale multiplayer experience. It doesn't have it in its bones, and if DICE can't find a way to make it work, we're fearful nobody can. [Issue#195, p.72]

    Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will go down as one of the biggest screw ups in video game history. EA and DICE had the easiest job in the world and completely ruined it with the absolutely ridiculous and downright unacceptable progression system for multiplayer. Combine that with the incredibly boring, lazy, and cliche story campaign and you easily have the biggest disappointment of 2017.
