    This is my first time to write review.
    The reason is because the game itself sucks.
    It only worth $10 and don't waste your time/money until the price get lower than $10.

    So many good companies destroyed by EA. I love Star Wars and Disney has done really good with continuing the franchise with all areas but this. Disney please don't let EA destory Star Wars as well.

    Péssima posição da empresa em adotar o pay to win, além de que tem que pagar pelo jogo. Agora se posicionou dizendo que está "temporariamente" suspenso o pay to win. Vergonhoso. Nota 0. Não vou comprar mais apesar de ser muito fã da série Star Wars.

    dishonest business practices with crappy pay to win tactics on a 60 dollar game. score absolute ZERO. Gameplay looks average, but don't fall for the hype, pay to win will be back. Complete CRAP.

    Don't be fooled, there is not a good game behind all the controversy of the lootboxes. The game is mediocre, repetitive and the campaign doesn't even finish properly.

    I was truly excited to play this game. The foundation is there. The game itself has plenty of redeeming qualities, until you get to the progression system. The progression system essentially ruins an otherwise good game which is sadly all based in greed and predatory transactions. For the sake of competitive gaming and honest business practices, I cannot give it a higher score than 0.

    Seeing what is happening to Star Wars is making me sad.
    The amount of greed this game offers is horrible.
    No more games from EA for me. Same goes for DICE.

    EA tied to shove pay 2 win loot boxes down our throats. They tried to make us have to spend 40 hours to unlock 1 hero character. The "progression system" is still a complete joke. The only reason I'm giving this game a zero is that I can't give a negative rating.

    Solid game (albeit, very similar to every other DICE game you have ever played)... but I don't care. How long are gamers going to let huge companies like EA and Activision screw them over? Hopefully this games current user score is an indication of how fed up people with a shred of self-control are with regards to MTs. Please don't buy this game.

    The loot boxes were "turned off," not "fixed". The question you gotta ask yourself is this: "Does EA care enough about the consumer to leave them off when the heat dies down?" I think their history speaks for itself on how much they care about the consumer.

    We're not going to take it anymore, EA.

    You WILL realize that paywalls and random loot rolls for cash is predatory, wrong and irresponsible. Putting content behind gambling structures so children can waste their allowance is predatory and disgusting. Paying to win is detrimental to the gaming community.

    YOU WILL FIGURE THIS OUT, IF WE HAVE TO HAMMER IT INTO YOUR HEADS.

    I have played it within 10 hours EA Access trial. This is a game designed as Pay-to-Win. Just to discourage such a behaviour in 60$ game - I am giving it an 0 point user score.
    I cannot accept pay-to-win approach in game I have to pay the full price.
    I know that now loot boxes are TEMPORARILY blocked. So I am waiting for permanently removal. Then I am open to change my scoring.

    Don't buy this pay to win game. I preordered the deluxe edition despite all the news about loot crates and microtransactions, and have contacted ea 3 separate times, and have still not gotten the extra 20$ worth of stuff I should've gotten.

    Loot boxes turned off but not removed. Recent developments have seen an increase in credit payments after matches in a desperate attempt to reduce the uninspiring tedious nature of the grind required to upgrade equipment....but it's not enough.

You know the GAME that people have already paid for.

    And don't forget, the glorified gambling is coming back eventually...but hopefully that'll be a moot point and this diabolical poop-pile of a game will have died by then. Don't buy it or any other of their cynical loot box micro-transaction cancers they pass off as games these days.

    And to anyone who says: "they took out the microtransactions, get over it" NO, NO I WILL NOT. It's people like you that got us to this point in the first place.
    When Electronic Farts TEMPORARILY removed microtransactions cause disney told them they are actively hurting the star wars brand, that is when the power of bad press shows.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story in the campaign feels like it was written from a mess of focus test results rather than an actual writer that has a story to tell. The villains are nonsensical and have no motivation. The new heroes are bland and uninspired. An amateur would be ashamed of this work.

    Combat is so deeply flawed with an progression system that is about out matching your opponents with Star Cards. Since each Star Card has 4 tiers to them, and all characters can have up to 3 Star Cards equipped(or none if you chose so), there are 12 levels of statistical upgrades in a player versus player game. That's 12 levels of objectivity being more powerful than opponents.

    CAMPAIGN!Is awful. The enemy's you fight might as well be super mario enemys, there not threatening they rarely ever damage you, there just there to be there. HEROS VS VILLIANS! its OK. Every now an then you might win a fight against lets say Darth Maul or Boba Fett, but only with op star cards. STAR FIGHTER ASSAULT! lame. For a game set in space, and is well know for its space battles, the star fighter assault mode is pretty bad. star cards again, rule in this game mode. they should've called this game "Star Wars:Give us Your Money 2". *Yes i know they turned off the ability to buy loot crates but ill still complain about it.* THE OTHER PARTS OF THE GAME! worse then star fighter assault. the other game modes are like when your gonna throw up, you don't feel right experiencing it and you don't want to. CONCLUSION! This game is aids to your eye, to your brain, even destiny 2 was better, and I **** HATE DESTINY 2!!!!!!!!!!

    I wanted a fun game with Battlefield 1 mechanics -- namely balance and proper squads. I got an incredibly grindy unbalanced boring game. And grindy on purpose, as part of encouraging the horrible unescapable slot-machine loot boxes. I'm not the best shooter, but in Battlefield 1 I usually scored high because there was a lot I could do to help my team besides win 1-on-1 gun battles.

In this game, I feel like cannonfodder for the better players who start with better guns, and then get heroes. The "galactic assault" mode is too linear and choke-point laden compared to something like "conquest" in Battlefield 1. And the rewards you get are mostly based on how long the game lasted, not what you did! I saw a game on You Tube where the Republic took out both MTTs on Kashyyyk, which is impressive, and the payout in credits and experience was low. That's backwards! The single player campaign was short and a disappointment. What has happened to player agency in modern games? The game is also quite buggy.

    I am done with EA. No more EA products for the foreseeable future, no matter how interesting they may seem.

    EA might be the worst company on the planet. They took a game with great gameplay and visuals and destroyed it simply because they wanted to milk money out of Star Wars. Microtransactions need to die an so does EA.

    EA DICE it's in the game. Well, no not really. But you can get the other things IN the game for about $5000 a month, or more. Depending on what you get in your "pride and sense of accomplishment" from the lootbox. Reddit loves you EA. We really do.

    I am simply ashamed to have shelled out money for this game, not only did they mess up with the all the in game purchases, they somehow made the gameplay (i.e. gunplay, movement, general gameplay mechanics) WORSE! The first battlefront really only lacked maps and conquest mode.
    INSTEAD FOR battlefront II they decide to keep linear maps that conclude with linear gameplay and include

    imagine that you are going with the family to las vegas and as soon as you enter the city you hear about that new attraction : "STAR WARS HOTEL & CASINO" as an excited 15 year old you ask your dad for some cash and you pay the 60$ admission ticket to enter the casino.
    and the casino also has a battle arena where you can check out your recent winnings - when you enter the arena first
    imagine that you are going with the family to las vegas and as soon as you enter the city you hear about that new attraction : "STAR WARS HOTEL & CASINO" as an excited 15 year old you ask your dad for some cash and you pay the 60$ admission ticket to enter the casino.
    and the casino also has a battle arena where you can check out your recent winnings - when you enter the arena first without entering the slot machines you get obliterated by players who got lucky lately.

    so you head to the slot machines to try your luck.
    you earn a few basic items and then you enter the arena,you destroy the other players in that arena and that feeling makes you think "if i only gambled this little amount and got such items what would i get if i bet 1000$?" so you go back with 1000$ for some spins on the slot machine

    you spin the premium machine a few times and get some next level sh*t,a burst of excitement fills your heart every time the lootbox opens and the adrenaline rush keeps you going in again and again.

    after a few hours and after you bet all of your money in the slot machines you go to the arena where you destroy all of the players and you get ranked #1 every single game for HOURS.
    after a while you decide that you had enough from the casino so you go to the counter and ask "where can i cash out my winnings?" the counter laughs at you and says "well,you can't cash out your items - but you can use them on the next time you visit STAR WARS HOTEL & CASINO"

    you look at him with anger and disbelief,you try to argue with him but to no avail,eventually you leave the casino filled with anger and frustration and you keep asking yourself : "why did they lure me in to this scam by using the name STAR WARS - a franchise that i love to take my hard-earned cash?"

    Worst Multiplayer experience ever. Do not not buy or you will regret it. Even with the changes the game is unacceptable for new gamers. You are mathced with maxed players and you have no choice but to grind and be slaughtered again and again angainst maxed out players. Even fremium games are mote generous with new players that this ruined greedy game.

    I regret that I bought this game for $ 20. For the year, it did not come up with a single update, as promised by EA. Apparently after the cancellation of the Luthboxes, they lost interest in her. Now the game in Russia costs from $ 3. Do not buy.

    When a game is so predatorily monetized, it sparks government intervention on loot box- sorry, "sUpRiSe MeChAnIcS", you know you've crossed the line and then took a steamy dump on it.

    It's lack of iconic star wars characters really brings this game down and if you've ever wanted to play call of duty in star wars that's basically battlefront 2.

    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.
