Star Wars: Battlefront

Star Wars: Battlefront isn't the deepest game and the leveling mechanics are thus a bit pointless but high level players won't be able to overrun new players with better gear thanks to that. I thus managed to become a MVP within the first hour of play and i don't mind the lack of a campaign due to Dice's mostly bad track record.The new novel "Battlefront: Twilight Company" fulfills that role just fine and there is nothing wrong with having a focus either. The whole experience itself is more importantly the most force accurate in the history of Star Wars games and my biggest gripes are fixable balancing issues and a few glitched achievements (The horror!). The graphics and sound are further some of the best on the market and the sense of scale is awe-inspiring. The amount of modes/maps is fine enough and the sequel is destined to make this game absolute but EA started on the right note with the license.

PROS * The game's photorealism is among the best I have seen by 2015's standards. / Although SWBF now offers the liberty to customize characters, select pistols, rifles, and secondary items (rocket launchers, jump packs, grenades, bacta bombs), there are principally no classes, and positions in gameplay are limited to staying in gunfight with primaries and often no strategy (since health regenerates and ammunition is infinite), with secondaries only occasionally accessible throughout.

CONS SWBF is perhaps the most poorly implemented game of 2015. Faithless and with no Galactic Conquest, prequel content, or campaign (which they were developing) and only 4 worlds and minimal communication among players and AI bots, it tends to 10 uncustomizable game modes (14 with expansions) which ultimately could have been merged into 4 (or 6). Of the 27 maps, 20 are multiplayer underutilized for numerous game modes, and only 7 of them (excluding 1 from expansions) are also available in single-player.

CONCLUSION: For casuals, EA SWBF is a visually awesome but overall mediocre FPS indistinct from other more original competitors; for veterans, with the developer's ungenerosity and lazy care, it is a callous experience that exposes Electronic Arts as having joined the Dark Side. For a game with a high budget, high expectations, aggressive advertising, and the enthusiastically hyped-up media, EA SWBF is the apex of the 2015 games that are critically disappointing. I never bought anything from EA since. (Actually I did purchase a large expansion pack, but that turned out to be ungenerous and equally callous, which made for an even worse experience. Fortunately, I fully refunded for that, and that is--and will be--the only exception to my refusing EA's services.)

Star Wars Battlefront is definitely a Star Wars game through-and-through, but it's still an EA-DLC-scam that demands you pay Season-Passes all-up. There are modes to enjoy here and there, but the game feels like it's just a placeholder for EA's future Star Wars games. Not too bad, but not all that special either.

At least with Battlefront II it seems that EA's apparently learnt that content over emptiness is the real way to sell their games. The older N64 Star Wars games, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron and PodRacer are more complete than this 2015 game. AND THOSE GAMES CAME OUT NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO!

If there was any bad to have come out of Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012, it was the resulting deal with EA that was their real mistake. That and their shutting down LucasArts' developing arm.

If you're a fan, get this. But if you want a more complete gaming package, look elsewhere. That, or just wait for the next EA Star Wars games.

A fun shooter with interesting weapons and a lot of replay ability, its not hard to play and fall in love with

not as technical as the older battlefront games but its good as its own separate game heres the first ten minutes of the game for those haven't played yet, but if you enjoy a simple shooter easy to throw on and play for an hour or two then you wont be disappointed at all

plenty more on the channel too but i don't know anyone that has regretted buying it, yet anyway, and i don't even have the latest DLC still loving it

This rework of the original Battlefront series is pertty fun and great looking. But there where many mechanics and aspects missing that could have made this game a masterpiece. With it only being multiplayer its pretty good and entertaining for a while.
