Extremely underrated
By michael on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017
All I've been hearing about star wars battlefront 2 is hate and how it's pay to win but despite all the bad press i pre ordered it anyway because the trailer looked really cool and after playing the campaign multiplayer and arcade mode i love this game it's the best star wars game I've played in years and is almost as good as the old battlefront games the campaign more is great the acting story and gameplay is awesome the multiplayer is amazing my favorite game mode is galactic assault the battles and maps are massive and I've experienced no lag or server issues playing on my original ps4 and arcade mode is cool too custom arcade team battle mode is my favorite you can play split screen with or against a freind with bots there's Tons of settings like Changing team sizes bot difficulty maps etc so you have a great offline co-op experience similar to the old battlefront games the only mode that would be cool is a skirmish modeNow I'd like to clear up some myths about this game first off STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2 IS NOT PAY TO WIN i haven't bought one micro transaction and I've been doing great in multiplayer and racking up kills and I've been earning lots of credits through pure gameplay I've only had the game for a few days and I have almost all of the the heroes unlocked and I've had no problem getting loot crates with the credits I've earned through gameplay again I haven't spent a penny on any micro transactions and I've had no problem winning a match and unlocking heroes and crates and I'm not an EA corporate defender i despise pay to win games and I'm very anti corporate but This game IS NOT PAY TO WIN everything can be attained through gameplay and it doesn't take 60 hours in fact I think a lot of these negative reviews are from people who haven't even played the gameOverall star wars battlefront 2 is a great game and a great sequel to the original battlefront games hopefully all this bad press won't affect additional content for this great gameHighly recommended

With a Heavy Heart.... I Give You 1 Star.
By Sean Saunders on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017
I hate leaving one stars, I really do. In my mind, to leave a 1 star review, everything has to go wrong with the product OR it has to be an outright scam for customers. I say it with a heavy heart, but this is a game worthy of the infamous 1 star rating. I took time to write this... this is how upset I am with this game and what they have attempted to do. Please read on.BF2 shouldn't be a 1 star because....The graphics are incredible.The combat is solid.The new heroes are cool.The space combat is awesome.The single player story is excellent (but short).Those features would get this game a 5 star rating from me. No question. But... and this is a MASSIVE BEHEMOTH BUT....Those aspects don't make up for this games beyond absurd progression system, which is entirely based upon greed and milking customers of their cash (they did remove the in-game purchases for now, but the system is still in place and it is the SYSTEM that is the problem).I loved BF1. I loved it. Great game and I had countless hours of fun.This game... while I am still playing it at the moment, it's an absolute mess and hard to truly enjoy like BF1. I feel actual anger when I go to upgrade my abilities or try to get a new weapon... because it's simply ridiculous. I never had this feeling in BF1.BF1: "I got 10,000 credits. Woo! Time to buy the guns I want and get some sweet upgrades. Yeah!!!"BF2: "Well, I played 10 matches and finally have enough for 1 single loot create. What the what.... what is this garbage! Star cards for a class I don't use? WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!"It's a nightmare. It is essentially a giant pay-to-win, grind scheme. The grinding is so long and so horrendous that it's basically a middle finger to average players who are seeking enjoyment and fun with their down time; not some sort of masochistic obstacle course to unlock a few weapons and heroes.A huge amount of content is locked behind a ridiculous grind fest and a loot box scheme the likes of which I've only seen in mobile games -- which are FREE as most of you know. This game cost $60... so there is no excuse.Skill progression is purely LOOT BOX BASED. Everything is based around it. It is an entirely different system from BF1.I can't buy the guns I want, or the skills I want, even after hours of playing. I have to buy loot boxes with credits, which are earned abysmally slow. What's funny is if they jacked up the credit gain rate by 3x or 5x, it probably wouldn't be as bad.Get a duplicate card? Here's a paltry 200 credits... thanks for playing our gambling simulator!You know how much loot boxes cost? 2000 to 4000. You know how much you get per match? Roughly 200 to 400 on average. Do the math. It's insulting.While they have temporarily removed in-app-purchases, that's just because they got a lot of heat from angry gamers. From my understanding, they plan to bring them back later once that heat has died down and we have forgotten.I understand the need to generate more revenue. I get it completely. But pay to win is never the answer; especially when you charge full price for the game upfront. This goes so far beyond what could be considered acceptable... that I am actually writing a 1 star review (something I don't do) based on a franchise I absolutely love more than any other game genre.EA... you've gone too far this time.A Simple Proposed Fix: Increase the Credit Gain for Online Matches by a Factor of 3 or 5. The loot box progression system could be tolerated if credits were earned at a much faster rate. But... therein lies the problem for EA. If they do that.... that's less revenue for them.
