    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.

    They will add lootboxes back later, DO NOT BUY
    we need Ea to lose a huge amount of money for them to stop being scummy, if that ever is possible,
    just stop funding their bs.

    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.

    Just don't buy it.

    Shameful exploitation of loyal customers and fans. Delivering a game full of bugs and servers not capable of holding more than one match. At least some good may have come from this release. No longer will gamers be expected just to pay up and shut up!

    Simply Star Wars: FarmVille II. Except the original FarmVille is better - it doesn't cost 60$. Keep buying EA Games, otherwise these greedy managers may not have object to look at while they're rubbing their nipples.

    More loot boxes? Funny thing is without EA share prices dropping and without getting a call from the Disney CEO those loot boxes wouldn't have been temporarily been disabled. How dare they tarnish the Star Wars IP in such a way.

    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.

    To anyone that might read this: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

    People giving it a 10 saying "The loot boxes are being fixed" is not that they should be fixed, they shouldn't be there at all, this game just feels like Battlefield 1 with star wars skins.

    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.
