    Run to find people for 10 seconds. Die in half a second to people who have much better equipment than you.. no balance in who you are matched with. NO way a casual gamer could enjoy this.

    Was very disappointed about this game one solo map no campaign at all I am very angry this had only online only battles and nothing else I was expecting a story mode but no I got a crappy dumb online battles against other players boo the only thing that is awesome is the movie scenes and the look of the vehicles and the world also the sound FX is perfect just like I remember

    Bad, bad, bad. Only 4 maps. Missing content, no Single Player missions ... For more content they are looking for a season pass. EA-bad job. Only the graphics look good.

    Loše, loše, loše. Samo 4 mape. Nedostaje sadržaj, nema Single Player misija... Za više sadržaja traže season pass. EA-loš posao. Jedino grafika izgleda dobro.

    O jogo mais incompleto e raso que já joguei. Não tem campanha ou modo história. É bonito mas até um jogo mobile é mais completo. Perda de tempo e dinheiro total.

Not to mention the jetpack which allow players on top of the map with unlimited sniper shots. There is a bug since launch where you wont get a partner even when teams are full. This gives you a huge disadvantage from loss of points and losing a spawn point. The maps are just chokepoint after chokepoint . Hero battles are trash and clumsy. There are not that many modes and people only play walker assault on same 4-6 map rotation.

    Genuinely one of the worst, most boring and feeble games I've ever played. Thank God I got it on EA Access. No campaign. Simple and boring customisation. UI problems everywhere. Can't understand any of the menus. Bad gameplay. Bad sound. Awful flight mechanics. Boring maps with not enough cover. Terrible character movement. Not actually great graphics. I could go on. But it's boring me.

    I can tell you that the hero mode is awful or that the lack of variety makes this game quickly redundant... There is an egregious token collecting system to get into vehicles and bot, the thing that made the real Battlefront game is gone. It's just easier to say that this game would have been better if they just didn't call it a Battlefront game.

And it's clear I'm not the only one. The price of the game has been drastically cut. About a month ago, I went to my local GameStop, and there was a copy of Star Wars Battlefront Deluxe Edition for the PS4 selling for $15. There were Wii games more expensive. Do not pick up this game, do not give any money to EA from this game.… Expand

    Bought this two years after launch for $30, still don't feel like it was worth it. The DLC exclusive maps have very little population and DLC exclusive weapons are by far and away completely overpowered compared to base game weapons. Its almost like people who paid more were given every advantage possible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very pretty, but a failure in the fundamentals of FPS games.

    Firstly, the loading screens. I spent as much time in loading screens as I did in actual gameplay. - Fail

    Next, spawning. In the larger games you either spawn way too far from the action, run for over a minute to get there only to be taken out instantly. Other times you spawn too close to the action or right in an enemy's sight, instantly being killed. And this can happen 5 or 6 time in a row. - Extremely frustrating.

    Balance: The rebels have no ground vehicles. This gives a major advantage to the imperials as they have the AT-ST. Luke Skywalker is way too fast and impossible to hit and Bossk had infrared which allows him to see any enemy from anywhere. OP heroes.

    Radar is pointless. The range is very obscure and enemies right next to you do not show up.

    Terrain....So I'm running, and running, and running, and running some more. Suddenly I'm just running in place. What's that? a small stick on the ground. Oh look! I'm dead.

    No singleplayer mode. This makes the game pointless for anyone with poor internet. and Frustrating for anyone who might want a break from such competitive multiplayer.

    Terrible matchmaking. Often skill levels are either way in your teams favour or way in the other team's.

    I will give credit to the graphics. They are absolutely beautiful. But that's about the only positive thing I can say about this game.    … Expand

    However if you roll a turd in glitter it's still a turd and that's what this game really is.

    Had I bought this on release and paid the full price (and later the season pass) I'd be really angry for what was in the box.
    This is the latest in a long line of games being used as cash cows by game companies to milk as much money from customers as they can.

The interface is clunky, there are very limited options to reconfigure the controls and in general the game play would be more specific to a game made in the late 90s. Really surprised by that. Flying is okay but the "maps" for flying encounters are pretty small so you end up flying out of bounds frequently when pursuing a target and then have to double back. Not a lot of content in the game and it gets repetitive quickly. I have had the game for 4 days and am pretty much finished with it. Major disappointment.… Expand

    -Campaign mode

    -Well developed class system
    -No DLC nonsense
    -Already finished at launch with a $5 price tag
    -Strategic combat that involves using your class to your advantage

    -No galactic conquest
    -40 player battles
    -Only Galactic civil war
    -Pointless ship battles that entirely involve you flying in circles until you drop dead

    -5 planets
    -No class system or form of strategy
    -DLC that came into the originals for free
    -Nowhere close to finished and still with a $60 price tag
    -Pointless combat that entirely involves getting a bigger group of players than your enemies
    -Good graphics
    And I could go on even more! Also, it's not like they didn't have a long time to work on it. THEY HAD 8 YEARS TO WORK ON IT ONLY TO PRODUCE THIS DISGUSTING GARBAGE THEY CALL A "GAME"!
    It's obviously just some cheap, overpriced merchandise to get people excited about the new movie. I will say one thing though, this is the first FPS game Disney has ever made, and they did put some serious work into the graphics. But that is no excuse for them destroying a good series. They had something functional on the table, but instead of working on it, they mutilated and rebooted it into some mess that had potential, but it was too close to the originals so they shot it till it broke and tried remaking it in their spare time without the instructions. But all that came out was a polished vase that had nothing of use on the inside. They then decided to put in some worthless "free content" while the paying content stood ready to ripoff. All in all, don't wast your time or money on this trash, especially if you loved the originals. My hope, which most likely won't come true, is that somebody will make the originals again but with a reasonable price and good graphics so that once again they may shine the light of the good ol' days again.    … Expand

    Battlefront is the best looking multiplayer game on Xbox One. It truly raises the bar on visuals and performance. BF is snappy and crisp. Unfortunately, that’s all it offers. What should’ve been an epic Star Wars opus is ultimately a mundane, one trick pony that doesn’t deliver a experience fans deserve.

    BF defies expectations in a bad way. The richness of the Star Wars universe    Battlefront is the best looking multiplayer game on Xbox One. It truly raises the bar on visuals and performance. BF is snappy and crisp. Unfortunately, that’s all it offers. What should’ve been an epic Star Wars opus is ultimately a mundane, one trick pony that doesn’t deliver a experience fans deserve.

    BF defies expectations in a bad way. The richness of the Star Wars universe provides Dice ample material to work with. Instead, it developed a run-of-the-mill shooter containing repetitive game modes, scant maps, and a bland progression system. No one expected that. They expected more. Much more. And rightly so. The previous Battlefront games were immensely popular and enjoyed long shelf-lives. Battlefront 2 set the gold standard for Star Wars games by offering plenty to do in a massive galactic playground. The overall experience was cutting edge and remains popular to this day.

    The newest Battlefront lacks the breadth of content its predecessor offers. Not only that, the multiplayer experience happens on a much smaller scale. Foremost, the current Battlefront has smaller lobbies than the much older Battlefront 2. This is puzzling since nextgen consoles are more powerful than 2005 PC hardware. Secondly, the game focuses on infantry combat. Vehicles are wedged in and don’t serve any strategic purpose. Combat stagnates quickly because there’s no variety.

    Yet, we don’t have to compare the new and old Battlefronts to see that the newest one lacks substance. No campaign. No story. Only 2 player co-op. Limited maps. A paltry 6 movie characters are playable. No worthwhile vehicle combat. No space battles. No battles on star destroyers or rebel frigates. The game was rushed to market, so Dice/EA had to make a choice: Does Battlefront emphasize graphics or content. They chose graphics, and axed everything else. That decision backfired.

    What’s worse is EA’s awful DLC policy. But it’s EA, so no one should be surprised. EA expects players to fork out $50+ dollars for season passes but it won’t tell players what the DLC contains, only that more information is coming soon. Due to a severe public backlash, EA clarified some of this mystery. But information merely trickles out. EA said it plans to monetize Battlefront content for at least another year, despite the game’s low sales. Ironically, BF’s low sales are due in a large part to EA’s plans to monetize everything. BF needs more content, not more paid content. EA royally screws every franchise it touches. So I guess Star Wars is next on its hit list.

    Anyway, is Battlefront worth owning? No. BF is insanely broken. Spawns are ridiculously bad. In one game, I spawned directly in front of an AT-ST 7 times in a row. In another, I spawned into an orbital strike. In another, I was killed by Luke Skywalker 3 times before the game spawned me somewhere else—beside a heavy turret which pummeled me with blaster fire. Those experiences are typical for all players. And since spawns are “randomized”, players will often have the wrong loadouts for the situations at hand. As a result, people stick to the same loadouts further hampering the already inadequate combat.

    Hit detection is awful too. This problem has persisted in Dice games for years, so no surprise there. In my most recent match, I hit a Stormtrooper in the back. I counted 12 consecutive hit markers. No kill. Opponents run thru grenades and maintain full health. If players die while throwing grenades, the grenades will not detonate. Yet players have to wait for grenades to recharge after they respawn. Oddly, that problem doesn’t affect homing rockets.

    Crappy hit detection is exaggerated by mediocre weapon balance. Poor weapon balance is exaggerated by broken spawns. And all this is exaggerated by the low skill gap. Players should expect to die a lot for reasons beyond their control. If K/D matters, don’t play BF.

    Vehicles and special items spawn as “tokens” on the battlefields. The same 3-4 players who memorized their spawns constantly spam tokens. Those jerks monopolize the goodies. So new players are unlikely to play as a hero or drive an AT-ST except once very dozen or so games. And that’s if they’re lucky. Levelcapgaming predicted this outcome in his beta review.

    The heroes and villians are OK, but their strengths are situational. And BF’s horrid spawn system handicaps them quite a bit. Spawning Boba Fett indoors is nearly a death sentence. His main strength is the jetpack, which has limited functionality in a hallway. Princess Leia is an excellent support character, but not if she appears 200 yards away from the nearest ally. And there’s only 6 total playable characters. The rest are obviously being saved for DLC.

    I don’t know what more I can say about Battlefront, except it’s another obvious EA cash grab. There was a deadline, so we get a half-baked product. I’ve already traded it in. There’s not enough meat on the bone to keep me interested, and I’m tired of the pay-to-play model tacked on to $60 games.    … Expand

This would be effective except for the fact that at some point inside of 0.5 seconds of overheating you can quickly press X to instantly cool your weapon and begin firing again. Do not expect to ever be able to beat someone using this weapon unless you have several squad mates with you. The flight simulator has a similar problem. At some point during the match players can gain control of either the Millennium Falcon or Boba Fett's ship. These ships are near invincible. You can literally be blasting them for several minutes non-stop and they just will not die. Also they seem to be able to shoot missiles at you, even if you are directly behind them.

    One can argue that in today's gaming culture, the graphics of a particular game may not matter much. That gamers really care about content and reliability. Well, one thing we won't have to worry about in Star Wars Battlefront is the looks.

    From the first battle, I was astounded at how well this game really does in the art department. Every battle field is gorgeous, with scenery that really tugs the eyes and says "look over here!" That being said, the rest of the game isn't so great. Where to start:

    1) The balance of this game is ridiculous. On some maps ( Jundaland ) the Rebels get a clear head start in conquering the first control point. When most of your side can reach it in 2 seconds, it's pretty lopsided. On others, the vehicles of the Empire will always turn the tide of a battle. Calling in multiple Tie Fighters and AT-ST, the Rebels soon find themselves overwhelmed.

    2) Weapon balance is incredibly outrageous. When I can be killed in two shots by a pistol wielding storm trooper from 200 yards away, we know we have a problem. The stats for the weapons (range, damage, cooling power, etc. ) are pretty much useless. I don't know how many times I have been sniped by a pistol, but apparently pistols are basically long range blasters in this game, so yay.

    3) I like the addition of the card system, giving you different hands and so, but it would make much more sense to have one primary weapon and a much less powerful and close range side arm. Instead, if you want a side arm, you have to buy the scout pistol card and take up on of your 3 cards spots. And..

    4) Those card spots are oh so important. Many of them remove the skill needed to shoot someone. A "homing shot?" Like, really? Not much skill in a homing missile that you can use every 10-15 seconds. Also, not that I am a Star Wars expert, but I'm pretty sure that most troops weren't shooting around the battle field in jump packs. Makes the Supremacy mode very annoying.

    5) The other game modes fail to inspire any real fun, and had me always going back to Supremacy and Walker Assault. The various power ups you can pick up help to give each battle a small difference in feel, but after being sliced by Vader, or sniped by Han Solo for the 1000th time, it becomes monotonousness. Almost an inevitability that I will die, again and again, which leads me to....

    6) WHY THE EVERY LIVING F**K WOULD YOU SPAWN ME THERE! Almost every match I am spawned in an incredibly stupid location. Just killed three rebels before you died and feeling good? Well here, how about you spawn in front of 8 rebels, see how you like that! I mean, I have spawned literally in front of the entire enemy army, in front of a blasting AT-ST, and oh RIGHT ON TOP OF A PROXIMITY MINE. My god, how stupid can these developers be?

    I have put 25 hours into this game, which isn't a lot, but I feel it's enough to render a verdict on this game. I want to love it, I really want to love it, but I find myself struggling to even like it. Hopefully, the balancing issues come up and are fixed and in the future this game will get the credit it deserves.

    Maybe then..maybe.    … Expand

    The several game modes are almost all just slight variations of the same thing, with only Walker Assualt being anything close to entertaining. Even then though how many times can you do the same mission on the paltry selection of maps before it becomes a chore?

    The leveling up system is shallow and only seems to reward time spent playing as opposed to actual skill. And many of the unlockable weapons or items are next to useless, such as the jet pack that allows you to travel all of about 10ft before running out.

    As to the battles, you will find yourself subject to constant cheap deaths, such as being one hit killed by one of the way overpowered hero characters, blown up by almost unavoidable homing missles or unluckily spawning 5ft from a group of enemies.

    It is hard to believe that the 10 year old Battlefront 2 has vastly superior gameplay to this mess.    … Expand

    Now the ground battles... It is too open so everybody just ends up shooting everybody in the back without any real encounter and strategy. If you go to the other team spawn you can easily get 5 free kills without anybody noticing you.

    I thought the best part would be playing a hero.. Never been so wrong in my life.. The heroes animation just look strange and it only brings more type of game that completly sucks.

    So basically if you take out star wars in the title and put real guns instead of laser rifle and f-18 instead of x-wing this game would be overall voted 1/10 and they would sell this crap 10$ on the marketplace.

Limited weapon selection even when fully unlocked. No weapon mod system, and none feel particularly fun. Hit box issues and damage reduction at range make combat frustrating.

    Outrageous spawning issues - expect to spawn directly on top of opponents or have them do the same to you. I got chain killed by Luke Skywalker three times within 20 seconds as I repeatedly spawned directly in front of the player controlling him.

    I did not buy the season pass when offered. 50.00$ is pretty expensive when details on the 4 dlcs to come are sketchy at best.

    Game quickly becomes tedious and repetitive. No wookies. No space battles.

    The immense pool of resources available from a hugely popular universe, experienced development team, and existing shooters to draw inspiration from leave no excuse for Battlefront to be as substandard as it is.

    The game is a full RRP'd glorified demo, in every sense of the term: (as of writing) four(4) maps only; six(6) heroes; no space battles; restrictive map layouts; same-y weapons / weapon effects; boring, casualised gameplay (*lock-on aiming is not filterable in online play); silly token system to unlock the insultingly meagre content (e.g., normie skins and generic weapons); no split-screen online play; shallow, cursory offline split-screen implementation... Whichever angle you come at E.A.'s SW:Battlefront, you cannot help but see its shortcomings. This game IS NOT worth its RRP -- at launch, it had "season pass" (i.e., stripped content) DLC worth as much as the base game itself! This game is barely a demo. It's... shameful.
    This game should be boycotted; not only for the sake of the integrity of the license, but also for the sake of the future of the video gaming pastime. For if games like this become staple for the industry, the pastime is surely dead. 4/10 -- poor / pirate it.    … Expand

    You don't get in a vehicle you "call it in" so you just disappear off the map.

If my guy calls in air support what the fuc* happened to him?

    Every game mode feels like watered down walker assault. Just play walker assault, its the only worthwhile game mode. The fighter squadron is ok, if you played BF2 its the space assault without carriers so it kinda lame.

    I saw someone in a message board say that said "Dude, what do you expect, they only had two years to make it and amazing visually". Let me answer that, I expect you to delay the game until its actually ready. If you know its going to take you more than two years to make a gam, then set the release date for three or four.

The skill level required to accomplish anything is set for 8 year olds. The tutorials are a joke, because nothing new is in this game that has not been in a thousand games before.

    To go with the crappy game play is a host of bugs. Most notably is the constant server interruptions. During 3/5 games it will start to lag. EA was nice enough to include a warning that states that their own game is unplayable because their servers are messing up.

    -The SW universe is a big one, EA/DICE managed to ignore 99% of it and only include a fraction of the OT locations (Hoth, Tatooine etc). -No classes. I don't know what it is about EA/DICE, it could be sheer laziness or perhaps a pursuit of making everyone even on the battlefield that they neglect classes making for very dull game play.

    -The SW universe is a big one, EA/DICE managed to ignore 99% of it and only include a fraction of the OT locations (Hoth, Tatooine etc).

    -No classes. I don't know what it is about EA/DICE, it could be sheer laziness or perhaps a pursuit of making everyone even on the battlefield that they neglect classes making for very dull game play. One of the great things of SWBF I&II is that each class had its own pros/cons meaning you had to work together as a TEAM in order to succeed. Now they have been replaced with cards which are abysmal.

    No AI - really was the biggest failure of this game. EA's ego is that great they decided to remove bots and turn battlefront into another run of the mill competitive shooter. Bot support was the CORNERSTONE which made the original titles great. If you didn't play online, you could just create a game with bots and have a blast.

    Audio - The sounds of the blasters and vehicles may be good but there's one thing I can’t stand. And that’s the 'Murica' dialogue EA infuses into every shooter it makes. They really do like to glorify war and SWBF is no different. You can't go 2 seconds without hearing someone shouting 'IM PINNED DOWN OVER HERE!' or 'MAN DOWN!'/'SUPPRESSING FIRE!’ It’s all just too serious and doesn't fit in with the star wars universe.

    Vehicles - You can no longer just hope into a vehicle, they are power ups. Mind boggling how this ever made it past the drawing board.

    Heroes - Not as many heroes as its predecessors.

    No prequel content - Even if you hated the prequels you can't argue they gave us more vehicles/soldiers/planets to play with. EA cutting them from this game (probably to release as DLC) was woefully wrong to do so.

    I could go on past the 5000 character max with everything that is wrong with this game. But I'm sure you've all been saturated with the pretty visuals / expensive DLC etc people have been noting about. At the end of the day, Battlefront I & II which came out over a decade ago are still more enjoyable than this piece of crap. I've said it before and ill say it again, EA obtaining the IP to SWBF was THE worst thing that could have happened to this series. No more than ever I really do feel for the free radical staff that had their product cancelled during development. It would have been far superior to this.    … Expand

With a disgustingly low number of multiplayer game modes, 9 by the way, and something like 10 maps, you will easily get bored after a couple of games, even on the decent game modes. This is not the BattlefrontOne of the biggest disappointing games of the YEAR. No way near the £50 of what it is, at the most it is worth £25. The game is truly Battlefront... but wait! It's now in Star Wars! With a disgustingly low number of multiplayer game modes, 9 by the way, and something like 10 maps, you will easily get bored after a couple of games, even on the decent game modes. This is not the Battlefront fans fell in love with in the past. It's no where near what i used to be. The freedom of choosing from a class system in Battlefront 1 and 2 is now gone. So no, you can't choose to be an Engineer, or a sniper, or a wookie. You just have to stick put with the standard infantry until you can buy a 'shotgun' or a 'sniper'.

    One of the most disappointing aspects of the game is, as said above, the content. NO CAMPAIGN which is ridiculously poor. This game is literally a multiplayer game, with 'Missions' being the only way to play co-op with a friend on either survival, or a simple deathmatch or hero one. Terribly poor from EA. One of the best features of previous battlefronts WAS TO PLAY WITH A FRIEND. But guess what? Now you can hardly do that. No f****** option for a custom game or even a simple skirmish! What the hell is up with that?! Battlefront 2 was the perfect game. It had skirmishes, it had the hunt mode, the classic Mos Eisely hero battle. The awesome Conquest game mode; going from planet to planet and conquering each one. Nope, there's NONE of this in this game. So, so poor from EA this time.

    The game however does have its good bits. It is still fun to play; with an entertaining shooting system, and random power up tokens which are very fun to use. The graphics are amazing, whether you are standing still, sprinting, or flying around in a TIE fighter. But these aren't exactly what Battlefront fans are looking for. We'd rather enjoy a far greater freedom of game play that is similar to the previous battlefronts, NOT similar to battlefield.

    This game is one of the biggest wastes of money I have ever spent on a game. With only 6 playable heroes available, and only a focus on the sequels and the new Force Awakens film, it's definitely NOT worth buying. What really p***** me off is the fact that EA say, "oh don't worry, there's much more! Just wait for the 4 expansion packs coming out!" oh okay, let me just pay even MORE money for content which should ALREADY BE THERE. Ridiculous from EA. Yet again their extortionate character has come out completely. It's ruined the battlefront franchise completely. It's simply not good enough.    … Expand

    The issue is that this game plays it safe and doesn't offer anything new in its core shooting gameplay. It ignores progress made in the genre and that's most upsetting. Casual players will have a blast but it really isn't for the rest of us in my opinion.
