Star Wars Battlefront II

Q: What are the different gameplay modes available?

A: This game allows you to play as a trooper, pilot, Starfighter, or your favorite iconic Star Wars character. You can also choose to be an elite special forces soldier.

Q: Can you play as both heroes and villains?

A: Yes, you can play as both heroes and villains. You can choose to be a fearless trooper or fight as your favorite iconic Star Wars character.

Q: Seeing as this lists shipping and store pickup as options, am I correct in assuming that this is a physical copy of the game, or is it a digital download code?

A: It's a digital download code (for the Origin client, not Steam) inside the physical box.

Q: If I've been playing this since the early release on PS4 and I now purchase the PC version, do I have to start over from the beginning or can my stuff transfer?

A: It won’t transfer

Q: why is it that my digital download isn't being delivered til tomorrow worst case end of day or better yet y didn't I get it today so I can preload and play when game goes live? When do I get my preorder bonus that is supposed to get emailed to me?

A: Spoke to 3 reps on the phone, thought they emailed me the game code, it was preorder bonus code. You will get email starting midnight PST with game code, I also asked about preloading, it’s apparentky not happening with Best Buy digital copies. Which sucks. So I know in the future I won’t be getting digital download via B.B. I’m going straighten going straight to the publisher from now on.

Q: Is there a way to request a deluxe version of the game for windows pc to purchase?

A: Hi Rob, As far as I know, there is no Deluxe game offer for the newest Star Wars Battlefront II on the Windows platform. The only offers I have seen are the Standard versions. I hope you find this information helpful. Sincerely, MonkeyWrench355

Q: Just a really odd question, but WHY do you sell a game with the title Star Wars Battlefront II - Windows - Digital Download, but not allow for a download to happen? WHY must a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD need a PICK-UP WHEN READY? WHY must someone drive in for a BOX

A: I agree that is pretty lame. However I believe they offer two versions one being a digital code that will be emailed to you. For some reason most pc/windows games are just a digital code now.

Q: Does this work on Windows 7?

A: It sure does MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OS: 64-bit Windows 7 SP1/Windows 8.1/Windows 10

A true Star Wars Experience
This game is absolutely beautiful. It honestly feels like you are living in the Star Wars universe. It's gorgeous! The story campaign is alright. You travel all over the galaxy and see some really striking scenes. The story itself isn't terrible but it's not amazing. Online multiplayer is a blast but there are several things holding it back. Lootboxes as everyone is probably aware of is terrible. They removed the real money purchases for a limited time (no ETA when they come back) so thats good. However, the balance to unlock stuff is horrible. It's designed for you to purchase lootboxes. When a game is designed for you to purchase lootboxes the "free to play" method is always handicapped. It feels like it takes forever to unlock stuff. Also, there is a HUGE server rubber banding issue. I have a GTX 1070 and get minimum 100 FPS. It's usually 120+ when playing. That is really good FPS on a game that looks this good. However, NONE of that matters when the servers have a horrible rubber banding issue (Rubber banding is when you character is walking and he lags back like 10 spaces where he was a few seconds ago). In the space ship battles it makes flying impossible. It's a blast to fly around in space dodging debris and other fighters, but if you end up in a rubber banding server you constantly crash into things. You will be flying straight clearly through debris and next thing you know your ship "teleport" back and you crash into something you just passed. All in all I do feel like this game is worth a purchase if you are a Star Wars fan. If you don't care so much about Star Wars and were looking for a fun shooter then look elsewhere. The campaign is enjoyable and does some fun fan service. The online multiplayer is a blast IF you get into a good server. The lootboxes have really messed up progression with unlocking stuff for your character. This game had so much going for it. I give it a 3 out of 5. I feel like it does enough to be a great Star Wars game for fans but it falls short of being something truly epic.

Great Given the Devs Continue Support
Review as of 12/14/2017 - You may or may not know of the controversy surrounding this game but there was a good amount just before launch. The game uses lootcrates in game that randomly award you star cards that are then use for progression. These crates were available for purchase during launch but the real money currency has since been disabled. Everyone is hoping EA doesnt bring them back. Regardless, the progression system is currently still bad but DICE is working on an overhaul (hopefully) that will fix the game. Otherwise, the gameplay and atmosphere that DICE has created with this game is downright amazing. You will never get a space combat arcade game or Star Wars ground combat sim as wonderful as this. I enjoy it but Im glad I didn't pay full price. Buy at your own risk but know that it will take some time for the game to really come into its own and become what it was meant to be. I have faith in DICE but it will take time. They really need to not mess this up. I do recommend this to any big Star Wars fan but not at full price!

One year later, it's a much better game
Like many others, I was pretty turned off by Battlefront 2 when it first came out. The heavy emphasis on microtransactions really degraded the feeling of progression you've come to expect from a multiplayer-focused game, and it just didn't feel balanced or fun after a few hours. Coming back to this game a year later, I'm finding it much more enjoyable. A lot of new maps and DLC content have been released for free, and the progression has been largely reworked to reward players who are actually playing. Some microtransactions do still exist, but they seem to be only for cosmetics and aren't really in your face all that much, making them easy to ignore. While it's far from my favorite multiplayer shooter, the visuals are still jaw-dropping, whether you're a Star Wars fan or just a fan of video games. I do think however, that the game really only holds up long-term if you're a big Star Wars fan. The mechanics and overall feel of the gameplay aren't very deep or involved compared to something like Battlefield or even Call of Duty. The campaign is very shallow and forgettable, but fans of the lore like myself will no doubt enjoy seeing how it ties to the rest of the canon and still get something out of it. While I may not stick with it for very long, it was absolutely worth the $15 sale price that I paid, and it becomes a much easier recommendation at that point.
