    The lootboxes are being fixed.

    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.

    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.

    The game has a wonderful campaign with amazingly fun gameplay, alongside outstanding graphics, and sound effects. EA is also fixing the lootcrates and pay too win, so I will not hate on the game for EA's unfair systems.

    Once all the pay-to-win things were taken out, this game became amazing. The graphics are stunning, the campaign, while sort, is fun, and the multiplayer is great. The progression system lacks a bit, but it is much better than the 2015 battlefront.

Rent the game first then decide don’t let reviews of band wagon people tell you what to do.

    Coming back to this game after the failure that they call a launch. After 3 years of updates, overhauls and content addons, I think every gamer should re-evaluate Battlefront 2. This game is up there in terms of a turn around!

Solo story is fun but very short it's all about the online game. Unlike every other online shooter there is no hiding in a house for 15minutes before you do anything, there is no hoping you find a decent gun, there is no worry of running out of ammo, it's just more full on then any other game. Nearly all the problems that came with launch are gone, loot boxes are gone and replaced with a progression system and this all takes place in beautiful enviroments that are all easily recognisable from the films, best lightsabre fights you will find anywhere when two good players face off. If you dont give this a go it's your loss not mine edit: 22/11/2021 played Halo but this game is still more fun… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When the game was launched in 2017, it was an empty shell of blatant and obvious money grabs by EA and DICE to use the Star Wars name to get a quick buck. But, after nearly two years of updates and listening to its players, this game has become the best Star Wars game on the market at the moment. It provides a massive online multiplayer experience that has had its progression system completely redone to that it is not pay to win, but rather play to win. Also it has an offline campaign that’s is cool too so.… Expand

    The game has made a COMPLETE turnaround. Everything you may have heard that was wrong about this game is very likely gone and has been fixed or changed. And they're giving us the content we want.

    The Game is Far from what it once was Almost 3 Years ago. DICE reallly changed the wirdt aspects of the game and is actually now appealing to Star Wars Fans such as Myself. I urge you all to give this game another chance, I promise you wont regret it

    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.

    Great comeback. I'm so happy EA didn't leave this game after hard time and give it a proper support. I absolutely recommend it for Star Wars fans - it's probably the best way to fight against or for the Empire

    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

    Right now in 2021 we can say that it is the best Star Wars game. Its multiplayer is fun and it always makes us with my friends cheer as we were 10 year olds back in the days. I personally liked the story and the resurrection dlc too. Hectic and looks amazing, nothing brave but it is very enjoyable, which is the most important thing. I'm so glad it has a renaissance and that we are part of it.

    I as a Star Wars fan am totally addicted to this game. I loved the first BF but steered clear of this after the controversial launch.

At the moment I am playing coop mode, which I would suggest any new player to do the same. 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. This game takes some learning but there areas many good you tube tip videos - definitely recommend watching some of those. Highly recommend this gorgeous looking star wars game - so much fun.… Expand

    Ignore the negative scores. They were posted before EA fixed the loot box issues.

    The single player campaign is a really gripping and a step away from your usual "single player add-on" to a multiplayer game. You play as one main character but they mix this up well with other missions using iconic characters from the entire movie series. The multiplayer is ok.

    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..

    All in all it's a fun game, especially if you can pick it up on sale.    … Expand

    This game is pretty fun. I'm mostly an offline gamer and the story mode is terrific. I even delved into some mulitiplayer online and had a fun time w/ that as well. Great graphics, much improved from the first title. Me and the family having a lot of fun w/ this game.

    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.
