    PLS! ALL! Dont buy this game! If we continue to buy games for $ 60 with microtransactions, then it will only get worse
    1/10 and 1 is only for the good game ruined by EA

    Thank you EA for the Microtransactions. Thank you for people as me with Job, Uni or Family we need to play so many hours to achieve for what we have paid for. Thank you for let the least the 1 % of people who are spending thousand of money to destroy games what the rest of 99% is really want to enjoy. The force may be with you EA.

    DICE did a pretty good job with the game in overall.

    But what EA does continuously, it's unforgivable! Don't buy their games!
    My rating goes for EA. Maybe 1/10 is way too generous towards them.

    And yes, they changed a few things because the community forced them to, but don't stop there! We can unite to destroy this current cancerous AAA gaming industry.

    BOYCOTT EA!

    Pay2Win is an absolute deal killer for me no matter how small the microtransaction. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this release for awhile. Definitely will not waste my money or time encouraging this sort of gaming design. It's nauseating.

    I can’t recommend this game to anyone in the current state. To feel constrained by a freemium progression system in a full retail game is ridiculous.

To feel constrained by a freemium progression system in a full retail game is ridiculous. If the campaign was a thorough and meaningful experience maybe some of the online elements could be slightly forgiven, but this is not the case. Progressing a chosen hero or class is basically rolling the dice or dumping money for better odds. The decision making is largely removed from this system as you rely on randomisation to decide for you how you will progress through the online modes. Yes you can get scrap but this is gained in such small quantities that it’s easy to dismiss as a viable option.

    It’s a shame as the gameplay is half decent, but I spend more time being angry at not being able to access or upgrade content that it just becomes a frustrating means to end. In this type of game, gameplay needs to lead to some sort of rewarding progression and it does not. To spend hours playing to unlock some crates and ending up with nothing of value is disheartening and, for me, is a reason to take the disc out and play something else. If a game makes you feel that way, despite how great it could have been under a different system, then it fails a major criteria which all games should have, the element of fun.

    There are difficult games I have played that have left me frustrated but a skill check can be overcome. The only way to overcome BF2’s challenges are by emptying your wallet or grinding your way to a point where the game loses all its appeal. EA need to take a strong look at how they want this game to fit in the future. Either by reviewing the cost of crates, removing the feature entirely or making the online element f2p. The most sickening thing is that the online element works like a f2p system. And at £49.99 this has overshadowed everything positive about the game and for good reason.

    I really am getting sick of full priced games that have content that is locked behind coins in which you are enticed to buy with real money. When i buy a game worth over 60 bucks, i would expect to play the heroes included in the game off the bat... and not having the option of paying just to have a hero day one? I guess i will have to wait a week to get Darth Vadar 60k coins later...I really am getting sick of full priced games that have content that is locked behind coins in which you are enticed to buy with real money.

    Is it pay 2 win with 60$ price? Sure! U will need hours and hours and hours of grind to be somewhat competitive. Or donate ~150$ on top of that 60 that U' ve already paid.
    As for SP campaign, it is ~5 hours long and all plot twists are as predictable as they can be. It is also so repetitive that U can complete Luke mission using only left mouse button and dont pressing any other keys.

Reviewing the game is great an all, but skipping issues such as loot boxes which 100% effect gameplay does not make you a good journalist, you are just as guilty as EA for these oppressive and unwanted monetization tactics.

    So, to the review - Battlefront 2 is an amazing game, beautifully crafted and silky smooth, Dice did a great job crafting the game, only for EA to come along and smash it all to pieces with a filthy and downright evil Pay 2 Win system, we all knew it was P2W since loot boxes was announced, whilst it's true...it isn't as '''bad''' as it was, but it is still fairly bad and whales still have a huge advantage over regular players, no matter what rank they currently are, heck the ranks themselves don't really serve that much purpose since you can power level through to 20 within a day or so if you're a whale.

    It's unfortunately far too easy to talk about the negatives, which is pretty much the progression and the p2w system, it literally wrecks the multiplayer aspects of the game entirely, we ALL knew this was going to happen, EA must have realized the backlash would be intense but honestly, in all honesty do they really care? They already have your money, people have already pre-ordered and the whales are already throwing down serious money - the controversies, if anything are not going to change anything for this game, which was build from the ground up around loot boxes and a pay 2 win system, dice themselves knew this but obviously powerless to contradict their EA overlords.

    The saddest part in all this, Battlefront 2 (2017) at it's core, IS a better game than the original if it was released without any loot boxes or micro-transactions, dice learned a lot from the previous battlefront, which was a great looking, great playing but ultimately repetitive and shallow game.

    This is clearly a disaster for EA, let's hope that corporate and the investors realize that excessive monetization just isn't going to work for them, they need to go back to their roots and look where everything went wrong and do something about it, otherwise EA will continue to be the worst publisher in the world.

    I can see how Devson McDice was crafting this beautiful brew, when a door was suddenly slammed open with a kick - the local brewery owner by the name of Eedyat Asole entered, piss drunk as usual.
    McDice knew what's going to happen next, but wasn't able to close the lead in time.
    A high pressure spray of vomit went directly into the barrel, poisoning it with all the possible cheap crap

    A high pressure spray of vomit went directly into the barrel, poisoning it with all the possible cheap crap that Eedyat enjoyed drinking with his friends in Mob Gaymars bar.
    A potential brew of the year was no more.

    P.S. jokes aside, I don't write reviews and registered because this was really outrageous. Making a 60$ price game a "pay to win" with monetization practices from "free to play" mobile games can't be tolerated.
    Do NOT buy this, even if you are a die hard fan of Star Wars. This is an insult to Star Wars, to gamers and to game industry as a whole and should be punished by closed wallet.

This isn't a game, it's an illegal gambling system that goes through enough loopholes just to slip past regulations in the U.S. This is ridiculous, and I think that a boycott is in order, and that Congress needs to investigate this matter.

    My biggest negatives about this game are: 1) There is no Starfighter Assault for Arcade Mode. 2) In Arcade Mode, there is a cooldown limit to the number of credits you can earn (so screw you if you want to play offline I guess?). 3) Microtransactions for non-cosmetic items. Literally Pay to Win features. 4)

    EDIT: They've remove the microtransactions apparently 'temporarily'. But I'm still in the position of not buying this game until they officially announce that there will not be microtransactions and loot boxes. I bet that once the gamers start buying the game they will bring back the micro-transactions. If you like gaming and want to make the lootboxes and microtransactions dissappear "DO NOT BUY THE GAME"

    It is all really sad because the game actually looks good to say the only positive thing first, it might not be that long term game, since the game is very simplified and made for a casual audience but then you have the fulltime job grind which is carefully adjusted by EA so that you are one of the few % who indulge in the profitable microtransactions, because it takes so damn long.

    This game is a psychological experiment and P2W construct to extract money from whales via microtransactions (or should i say macrotransactions?), neatly disguised in the shiny Star Wars pew pew license with super Graphics and you as player who just bought the $60-100 game have to indulge in a fulltime job like grind to gain gameplay upgrades and at the same time become the 'product' for the whales who buy all the crates they can get day to get all the upgrades and bash all the underequipped players on their paid powertrip. Right there they disqualify themselves, you simply don't put gameplay relevant upgrades into the progression. Evolve made that mistake and now we it here too and it's even worse because it's directly tied to a P2W system.

    The point is how EA initially wanted to implement it 40h grind for 1 hero incentives left and right to participate in P2W microtransactions, after such a **** they surely make 'changes'. Probably some low effort number crunches to calm the masses of their gullible fanbase. These changes will be done to 'make the outrage outdated' (google that and read it, it's eyeopening). One of these changes was to reduce the cost of heroes by 75%, which is simply the 'Door-in-the-face technique. First the requirements are way too high, then they greatly reduce it to wash them clean again. It is all thought through and through and aimed to manipulate the gullible. They have a whole division of psychologists and focustest data so the know exactly how they can turn this to their advantage and come out on top.

    EA has reached a new low, a new point of moral bankruptcy which is unforgiveable. I for one recommend to make a mark and don't buy this game, as even the purchase will support their holy grail, the 'Games as a service initiative' Where all the big AAA publishers are part of and try to poison a new generation of gamers with this lootbox/gambling/p2W/psychological manipulation filth. Games are starting to be built from the GROUND up to support and encourage microtransactions, Battlefront 2 is the new pinnacle of anti consumer, with Take Two and Activision coming right after.

    But in the end it's all about the money and the publishers will bath in the money of all the whales and apathic fans who still buy it and just look away. This is their new target audience, this so called 'new generation of gamers', a mass of dumb gullible consumers who become a bait and 'Product' for P2W whales who wanna live their paid power trip. People need to wake up and boycott this game, EA has gone too far and it only gets worse from here.

    So i give this game a 1 for the good Star Wars graphix and hope that DICE can become independend like CD Projekt Red and IO Interactive to show those greedy manipulative publishers the cold shoulder and make games without these restraints. Right now they are slaves for the devil.

    DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я сделал предзаказ игры в день старта продаж. Сразу скажу, что заказ не отменял (хотя стоило бы), ибо сама по себе игра у DICE вышла хороша, а играть я в нее все-же хочу.

    Поиграл уже и скажу так:

    - P2W есть
    - Гриндилка есть
    - Тимплея нет

    Глупые системы спавна (очень). Чего добились - не ясно вообще. Хотели командной игры, а в итоге игра, в которую приятно было бы(!) играть компанией не предусмотрена для игры компанией. Искать товарищей? Ждать? Договариваться "тыкай спавн"? Вы серьезно?!

    "Качайте карты в фиолет, дабы дамажить гранатками как в 1 части (привычно)" - идите в задницу с такими заявками. Я хочу работающую без доната игру. Его нельзя оправдать тут.
    Как не называй - "ускорение прокачки", "экономия времени" - купленные блогеры идут вон вместе с ЕА. Я просто хочу зайти и играть, без кейсов и челов 25 уровня на старте игры в 1 же день.

    Настроек у игры маловато (хотя со времен ОБТ добавили). Настройки звука то где, ау? Озвучка некоторых персонажей (как и их морды) были лучше в 1 части (а там еще на родном языке, ага).
    Ну и размеры HUD не поменять, тоже стремно

    Контента мало! Да, мало! Заявили 6 сторон в 3 эпохах, вот только даже до первой части классики не дотянули в плане разнообразия контента (Вуки на Камино, каламбур на всех картах в целом). Сравните сами сколько вам дали истребителей и танков (+шагоходов) там (2005) и тут (2017). Надеюсь он будет добавляться.

    Экономика мертва в игре. У нас классическая схема F2P шутера типа "Героев и генералов".
    Скилл твой никому не нужен, кредиты ты получишь за часы в игре. Пиздец.
    Статистика доступна только личная. Хз чего стоит добавить счетчик смертей в общий TAB.

    Кампания на 35. Серая и безвкусная.

    По итогу имеем хороший шутерок для фанов SW, лишенный духа далекой галактики, набитый донатом.
    Для ЕА отдельное место на свалке - у гнилых туш. Так врать людям (сначала "мы изменили лутбоксы", потом "мы заменили цены героев") нужно "уметь". Надеюсь, что Disney откажутся от затеи работать с компанией или хоть наведут порядок. Жалко только купивших, донатящих и DICE.

    maybe the game itself is good. i really enjoyed space combat in beta. however this progression system is a pay2win in a nutshell. ea almost forces you to donate more money. lootboxes are ok if they only add new skins and other customization options but not when they are the only way to gain new weapons and cards.

Built into the very foundation of the game, the idea to frustrate people into constantly pay to play, even after you have paid for the game.

    The epitome of greed. Sure, it looks pretty, the game play is fine, and it has the "Star Wars" name, but if you buy this game, you are continuing to send a message to EA that ridiculously over-priced and predatory microtransactions are okay for a game you already paid $60 for, and therefore should have access to most (if not all) of the content within a reasonable time-frame. I don'tThe epitome of greed. Sure, it looks pretty, the game play is fine, and it has the "Star Wars" name, but if you buy this game, you are continuing to send a message to EA that ridiculously over-priced and predatory microtransactions are okay for a game you already paid $60 for, and therefore should have access to most (if not all) of the content within a reasonable time-frame. I don't care that they've already dropped the costs associated with unlocking the most expensive characters (Vader, etc), because the root of the issue is still front and center; paying anything above $60 for the baseline content of the game is unacceptable and driven by corporate greed. It's evident that EA cares nothing for their player-base, because if they did, they wouldn't be nickel-and-diming us the way they currently are in SWBF II. To keep it PG - Shame on you, EA.

    I doubt much is going to change as a result of the backlash EA is facing because the game will still sell well. Many people (parents, aunts/uncles, whatever) buying gifts for loved ones over the holidays will be ignorant to this whole ordeal and purchase this game for sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and so on. Die-hard SW fans will make the purchase because of their love of the universe. And of course, there's always the "ride or die" EA fanboy that could care less about this controversy and would follow EA into the jaws of Hell for whatever reason. But please, as a member of the ever-increasing gaming community, I beg of you to really consider the company behind the game and the brand, because the best way to send a clear message is to refrain from opening your wallet/purse to reward such an inexcusable practice.

    Edit: I decided to purchase the game for $20 on sale after EA announced that there would be no MTX's beyond cosmetic ones and experience gained is traditional in the sense that you level up the characters you play. Overall, the game is really good! I really enjoyed the base campaign (the story, gunplay, lightsaber play, space fighting, etc). Looks great and plays great. Hoping to spend more time in MP, which is clearly where the game shines, but very happy with the fact that EA came around to what the people deserve in a AAA game. And it's important to give credit where it is due!

    this kind of game design is predatory to those with gambling problems or even indeed children and is quite frankly completely disgusting and has no place whatsoever in a full priced video game. i for one will never purchase any game again with a loot box system. cod ww2, destiny 2, shadow of war, NFS and now SWBF2 are all no goes now.

    The game have insanely beautiful graphics. Playing this game, you go to a movie. And that's fine. Wonderful graphics, great sound can really good.

    The company is normal. Just a normal, slightly boring. In any case, it is and that is good. But for the company to buy the game not worth it. Multiplayer... Buy the game for it. And it's good. It is also very beautiful, the gameplay is

    Multiplayer... Buy the game for it. And it's good. It is also very beautiful, the gameplay is good. But! It's PAY TO WIN. People who won't buy loot boxes will lose to players who spend money on the loot boxes - IT's a FACT! There is no normal progression system, like in all games. If you're not in the first place, then simply you will not have points to play a character. It's awful! I want to relax and take in the game, and sometimes play the hero. But if I am not a god in the game, then I will not play a hero. And the gods will be those who will buy loot boxes. At least a couple of months while the rest of them will not catch up without spending real money.

    Let's don't encourage developers for a disgusting business model!

    The game is fun and beautiful to look at, but the progression system is asinine and EA is using predatory micro-transactions in a full-price game. Please don't support this type of product.

    EA RIP
    Don`t buy this game!
    А теперь серьёзно я ждал эту игру ждал сюжета и доработанного мультиплеера, точнее баланса в нём, и что в итоге ЕА вводит систему pay to win и сносит баланс в 0, мультиплеер можно выбросить и забыть
    сингл тут главный герой новая неизвестная героиня, феминистки и тут надавили...
    смысла покупать это уг не вижу и никому не советую

    хроники
    этап 1 разослали журналистам, все негодовали от транзакций, которые мешают играть нормально
    ЕА пообещали убрать...
    этап 2 выход игры ЕА тупо увеличивает! цены на всё в 6 раз
    все бунтуют
    этап 3 ЕА снижает цены в 4 раза, но при этом снижает скорость накопления валюты
    что дальше? уберут транзакции, но заставят покупать опыт?

    I can't really add much more to what has already been said by other users. This pay to win approach sucks and is a disgraceful way to treat consumers, but it's EA after all. What else are we to expect?

    If they were smart they'd offer skins to turn Marry Sue into Jaina Solo, Darth Itachi into Revan and find a character for Kyle Katarn. I'd pay good money for those instead of this pay to win system.

    Okey, the game is really bad. Im not talking about the loot boxes oke?
    The story is... awful, badly told and rushed as hell, really short and pretty bad executed.
    The multiplayer, heroes and villains under paywalls (ingame currency but u need to but them), star card system is horrible and it is build around a microtransactions system not even free to play games have. Only 11 big maps

    Only 11 big maps for Galactic assault which in my opinion is not good. The graphics and the music is there but u need to overcome an oversimplified gameplay with almost no depth, a star card system that is simply, bad and the addition of the campaing is badly executed, the story itself is interesitng, go watch on yt.
    I tried to be honest, to bad that the red number is going to make my review less appealing to people seeking for geniune reviews. Forgive my english and my grammar mistakes, peace.

    When progression is completely tied to RNG unlocks of loot boxes it creates a completely unrewarding experience for the game. It doesn't matter what way you like to play or how much time you put into a "class". All of that is meaningless unless you get the unlocks from loot boxes for that specific class.

    Gameplay is EXACTLY like its predecessor with the only improvement being in the

    As a huge fan of Star Wars I am disappointed in the face that EA has made little gameplay improvements and only focuses on ways they can make more money off their consumers.

    Avoid the game, resist the temptation to play because I can promise you that the idea you have in your head about playing a new AAA Star Wars game wont match the reality of this generic, boring cash grab of a game.

    The only reason the User Score isn't below 1.0 is because EA is currently paying employees/individuals to create accounts on metacritic to vote 10 on this catastrophe of a game.

    Excellent online action offers hours of Stormtooper-shooting fun, but the so-so campaign stumbles, while cynical loot crates leave a sour taste. [Jan 2017, p.83]

    Star Wars Battlefront II provides a greater ambition than the previous installment. It has powerful war scenes, a brand new single player mode, and shows a much more magnificent Star Wars Universe. But just like the Jedi should be ware of the dark side of the Force, this game also meets some similar situations, such as beleaguered microtransaction elements and character growth problems. The first 10 hours of this game is full of surprises; however, the further you play this game, the more disappointed you will get.

    Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
