Star Wars Battlefront 2

An amazing Star Wars shooter. The game may have started off horribly, after some update the game is amazing. It is fun and fast passed. You can get back into the action within 20 seconds after dying so you don't spend that much time waiting around. There are only three problems I have with the game: 1) The story isn't that good. The game is mainly a multiplayer game so don't get it for its offline content. 2) Star-fighters and space battle art very fun. If you want to fly an x-wing, get Star Wars Squadrons. 3) No more update. Even though the game was growing in popularity again EA decided to pull the plug. Stupid EA.

This review takes stance after the controversy that led us to this... cashgra- I mean game, that we got today. The combat is a bit weird, seeing as they forced room for emotes and such when they pushed for micro-transactions and pay-to-win +gambling. Other than that, the combat is nice, although the ability cards does ruin it a bit and makes it a "who can spam abilities the fastest", given you got the right combo. They can also lead to some interesting builds and would've made more sense if they had focused on squads and individual vulnerability instead of the more semi-classical battlefield-had-***-with-battlefront kind of game. Multiplayer isn't like the originals, but can still be a very enjoyable moment, given some dude isn't flying across map to murder you to death with feelthetroll.exe running in the background. And the flying is pretty awkward compared to the originals, so I recommend using third party software to make it smoother (doing this on game servers might get you banned, but it's not like they do anything about the current cheaters as is). The campaign is ****. Utter ****. They kill off the only 1 relatable guy at the end of their very short campaign, which I actually thought was a prologue to the actual campaign. For some reason, everyone is female. Even the event scripted storm troopers with male voices become female. Don't get me wrong, there are males, but mostly females. Which leads me to how to ruin a game with political agendas: Force women all over the place, to the point where you can't help but notice that there are only female officers and some female exclusive classes. Ok, fair the CLONE troopers are all male. But there is a reason. They were cloned from a one man. So after Layla Hassan from assassins creed shoot her friend in the nuts to safe some people who were doomed anyway, her awkward white man boyfriend who has to be reminded that he is second and she is always first (I kid you not, she says it every time they encounter enemies), surrender themselves to help the rebels and blow up everything they own. You do some generic missions, with some actually being nice. The game then reveals a bunch of stuff, which goes against already established Dinsey canon and again keeps forcing their politics in your face. It stays like this for the rest of the game before it tells you to play multiplayer matches to finish the actual campaign (this doesn't give you anymore insight). So overall without ranting too much, here is my rating and verdict to whoever actually reads this. 100 total points to be given. Micro-transactions = insta 0/10 (stop that **** you greedy China backing *****) Combat gameplay = 6/10 (as mentioned in the short rant, the forced space made for emotes and micro-transactions ruined some good opportunity) Flying gameplay = 7/10 (no maneuvers and awkwards steering + the ability slots for ability cards, just to get that extra edge over others, you know?) Vehicles = 7/10 (same as flying and combat tbh. ruined by greed, but still ok) Maps 7/10 (they spent so much time on how the maps look, that they forgot to make some of the maps enjoyable and results in odd hitbox placements, invisible walls at some very inconvenient places etc.) Online play 8/10 (apart from the traces of micro-transaction filth and a lack of better anti-cheating, it's quite enjoyable. Single player story 2/10 (forced political agendas can be spotted all over, not to mention a main character that is so empty of actual character that the back-up white plot guy, who had more character than her, is killed just to give her character + it's so short that living microbes are now writing down the story in their books with human font sizes) Graphics 8/10 (would've said 9/10, but I can't help but wonder wtf happened with their faces. Leia looks like Leia's cousin, however old Leia looks like actual Leia + pre-order locks on some stuff in the game) Content for the price 6/10 (even though the game has undergone massive changed, it's still not good content for the price, unless you are ok with paying for an online game with a lack of refining and missing single player campaign made by someone who knows how to Star Wars, instead of that political bullshit + pre-order content locks only accessible for people with an pre-order bonus) Glitches and bugs 3/10 (the game is in need of heavy AI refining and a fix on most, if not all animations + not all functions in-game are actually working + the third person view really needs to fix a right handed person walking like a leftie, but holding the rifle like a right handed) Overall I rate this game 54/100. It's just about ok to be played for a small game of online before you get annoyed and bored with people having an unfair advantage. It's basically a game that tries to push ****** politics, rip-off a beloved game (Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the one released in 2005)). Spend your money elsewhere, but if you got this game for free on Epic Games when it was free, good on you, now go get killed some some cheaters. But not before playing through a naz- I mean Disney enforced world of... I honestly can't think of something without making it sound way worse than it actually is.

Would be a nice game if EA cared about players just a little bit. The single player campaign is wonderful! It's excellent... mostly. That Kylo Ren bit kinda ruins the whole thing for me. The visuals are beautiful! Controls sometime get kinda clunky, especially in space battles where mouse sensitivity changes on you out of nowhere. If not for the issues listed below this would be a game I would highly recommend. But I can only recommend the single player campaign though some of the issues are presented there too. Issues: 1, This game LOVES to group lvl 50 and below into one group vs lvl 60 and above including lvl 500+ players. Good luck trying to advance! You can't even deal damage to some of those players before they snipe you down from across the map because 90% of the spawn points are wide open and the enemy can just spawn camp new players easily as they have upgrades to deal 280% damage of your health with 1 shot. 2, Many many players use aimbot and wallhack to shoot trough walls and there is no implemented report system. 3, You try to type more then 10 words when you die before you would respawn, you'll be kicked for "Being idle too long" you have exactly 5 seconds before getting kicked. 4, 80% of the time you'll be tossed into the middle or the near the end of a game on the loosing side obviously. If you are joining a game after finishing one, only 4% of the time you'll have 5-10 seconds to unlock and apply you new skills/upgrades and chose a class to go into battle with. 5, When you spawn in, often you'll be exposed to the enemy especially if they are spawn camping. On spawn you are unable to move, aim or do anything for 2-3 seconds. You are however vulnerable to attacks and WILL be killed before you can do anything. 6, The game rewards you with Credits for almost all achievements that have absolutely no use what so ever. "Hey! Here is a big heap of nothing for your endeavors." Skins, poses, voice, weapons, upgrades and all that is unlocked by progression. Not by credits. So it has absolutely no use. Why keep it in there??? 7, Mouse sensitivity changes on you out of nowhere in space battles. You need like a 1 meter wide mouse pad to be able to turn 60 degrees+ then all of a sudden you move it 2 millimeters and you did a 490 degree turn. 8, Heroes are greatly unbalanced vs. troopers or in some cases even vs opposing heroes.

* This review is based solely on the single-player experience for those who are looking for a good successor to the KOTOR series. The rating for multiplayer may be significantly higher. ** This game was received for free. When you first begin the campaign, the game looks very promising. The graphics are very well done and the voiceovers are great. You get to see many characters from the movies, making it begin to seem like it will be a very good game. Unfortunately, it quickly falls short. The single player campaign can easily be completed in under 7 hours and you aren't even allowed to actually complete the story because the story requires that you play the game in multiplayer in order to complete the story. In my opinion, that is never a good design decision by a game developer. You will always have players who only want to play single player and others who only want to play multiplayer, so forcing the campaign to require both is a bad idea. Beyond that short and incomplete single player story, you also are hopping from character to character between each mission rather than following a single character, greatly reducing any cohesion in the story. Adding to that, the game is fully linear... not mostly, but fully. There are no choices to be made anywhere in the game and you cannot in any way influence your character or other characters or choose to be the light side or the dark side in the campaign. In the end, the campaign is little more than a general story about different characters that each do different things in the story and you're just along for the ride to manage the battles and walk them from place to place. Then there is the issue with upgrades for your character. It sounds like a great system until you get into it. It ends up being nothing much more than a typical FPS loadout - you get to choose a variety of weapons with some adjustments to how they work. Other than that, you can choose from a few non-loadout related upgrades instead, such as health regeneration starting more quickly, but that's all. You will end up picking 3 of the "upgrades" and never care about it again, at least once you've unlocked all the options and chosen the ones you like. It is possible you might want to make a change for a specific mission, but that's really unlikely. Beyond the campaign, there's also an arcade mode that is pretty much worthless where you're just in an arena level with a bunch of bots to kill. They may be smarter in some ways than standard bots and will try to flank you, but in the end, it's very easy and very pointless. The battles themselves are mostly good, so you can have a fun experience playing the game in single player for the short time that it lasts. If you are only looking for a single player Star Wars game, this isn't a good option unless you can get it free or for only a few dollars. It isn't worth the cost even at 75% off if you aren't going to play multiplayer. You will want to look elsewhere for a good Star Wars single player game.

Battlefront 2 is exactly the sort of game you should expect from a company like EA. On the surface it looks impressive, and the attention to detail is quite good, creating gaming environments that are loyal to the Star Wars canon and even going as far as giving you a very good dogfight system when flying in fighters and ships, but the flashy looking graphics hide some severe problems. Firstly, multiplayer doesn't really interest me, and I couldnt connect to the EA servers in game. I got this game for free during the recent Epic games freebie release of the Celebration edition, meaning that I got the skins, emotes and extras for nothing. having all this choice doesnt hide the fact that this was a game created for console players and so a lot of the PC related control mechanisms are quite cumbersome (especially when EA cant actually keep to previous key layouts!). to be completely honest however, Multiplayer doesn't really interest me in the long term. EA seem, to think that you need multiplayer online games to make money so have basically created Call of Duty in Star Wars clothing. Having a strong single player campaign means more to me than skins and emotes but while the single player campaign is story rich, just like Jedi: Fallen Order, this game suffers from the dumbest AI ever seen. It throws enemies at you with persistent glee and you can literally stand in one spot and take pot shots at the enemies as they come towards you. Headshot city is the answer to every single combat, except light sabre combat which is more a case of swing your sword and run around in circles. The inconsistent damage output of both ranged and melee weapons soon shows the fact that the priority was multiplayer. its not very satisfying, and I got bored after a day and uninstalled it. All in all, this should be a memorial as to why EA lost the sole developer rights to Ubisoft. If you cant deliver a good single player campaign, no amount of fluff on a multiplayer game will make it good. It remains to be seen if Ubisoft actually make a game worthy of Filoni era Star Wars, but if this is EA's curtain call, then its a poor one. Grab it from Epic games while its free and then never have to buy it. I would suggest you dont bother unless you get it MEGA cheap

Honestly its garbage tier, its repetitive, customization/loudout is terrible, its leap years behind the BF series. I received it free and still can't give it the time of day. Its honestly no different than the first game overall, the first game was equally as bad! I really hope EA dumps this entire series its not worth playing free let alone paying to play, or heaven forbid people actually paying for DLC. I have tried this game several times over the years and each time 20-30 minutes is all I can suffer myself to play. I only play the multiplayer and it just feels so casual and plain bad.
