Star Wars Battlefront 2 is now one heck of a good deal, Celebration Edition out now

I remember the huge ordeal two years back;

The lootbox controversy that went viral and made the game tank harder than any before.

The developers were somehow able to convince EA that despite lack of expected funds that their DLC roadmap had to continue. Unless you really want skins and emotes, buy the normal edition, all the DLC are included in the normal edition anyways.

Multiple major updates, extra maps, extra campaign missions, extra game modes and ton of extra characters later this is now the Battlefront 2 game that should have launched 2 years ago. Last week I launched the game again after not having played it a good year, and now find it to be one of the most entertaining arcade style multiplayer shooters of this generation. The fun is to be had even if you are losing, the battle points system allows you to quickly select a hero or a loadout that makes you feel like you can wreck mayhem in style. It truly feels like you are in a warzone. Capital Supremacy is not as linear and puts you in open maps that allow for more strategic movements against enemies, like conquest worked for Battlefield. The CO-OP mode is competitive and allows you to be a JEDI against a hoard of enemies. In fact, look at abundant amount of other available modes here:

Check it out boss, this game deserves another review.

I only played it for it's Campaign and fully enjoy it but Jedi Fallen Order takes the cake in terms of campaign quality. MP isn't my thing in Battlefront 2 but then again, this is Star Wars week due to the new release movie coming this Friday and I totally expect EA to fully go all out with Battlefront 2.

If only EA respected the fans at launch, things could've gone so much smoother for them...

Gamers are an odd brew... Most of the time I roll my eyes when I hear about things like signing a petition so another group of fans can't play the game, but in cases like these Im Glad gamers are vocal and passionate about the hobby.

Gamers said hell no to EA and they had to sit in their own stink for a while. It was pretty awesome.

Yeah, we are. But every so often we make a point that's right. As my dad says, even a blind squirrel gets an acorn now and again :P

As for Battlefront, I don't like the game because of gameplay mechanics, such as the focus on unlocks and vanity items, but the issues people took issue with were real at launch. A full-price game that is also built around monetization is an innately a flawed system built around profit, not enjoyment; the antithesis of gaming.

I don't think EA learned their lesson, but it was nice that the launch of Battlefront 2 went less than great. They're also receiving flak from quite a few international governments, and that's nice to see, too.

Fallen Order is a "true" Star Wars game, arguably the best since Knights of the Old Republic, I suggest people pay full price for Fallen Empire before they spend a single cent on Battlefront 2, no matter how good of a deal* it is.

*Note: it will never be a good deal :P

The game is better now, much more content, no more pay to win stuff etc...

But something about it just feels off compared to the originals. I can't really place it.

Jedi Fallen Order was reported it sold very well but EA themselves don't want to acknowledge this cause it's not a MP game filled with Microtransactions and because of that, they want to somewhat sabotage JFO but at the end of the day, it's been confirm it sold well EA expectations and yeah, JFO is the best Star Wars game we had in a very long time since the good old days of Knights of the Old Republic. I'm hoping this teaches EA a lesson, make a good game without the BS and you'll earn gamers respect.

SW Battlefront 2 has became an amazing game...and for about 2 years now. I rarely play online, but when i do it's always that game.

Shame so many people are not flexible enough to give second chances. Same scenario as No Man's Sky.

What I hope is that it's a return to "the good ol' days" (not that I'm overly nostalgic, but development was different 20 years ago) where publishers take risks, they just make games and then move on to the next game; they stop making the one "killer app" and then milk the customers for years off of one product. More importantly, they stop seeing what the other guy has success with, and stop trying to copy it. Like Destiny; yeah Destiny was great, doesn't mean that you have to make a Destiny-like game, too.

You know the best thing about Jedi Fallen Order? It ends! Same thing with The Outer Planets from Obsidian, to give another example. It also ends!

It's a concise, highly-enjoyable, genuine experience. There's no "insert time, get reward" mechanic to it to keep you playing, no no no...you want to keep playing for the simple pleasure of playing.

So now they've made the game into what they should've two years ago, a game that's still not especially good. Rejoice, people.

I like the coop mode, but the PVP is whack to me.

I don't like it's spawn system compared to how Battlefield works. It has improved, but it still forces you to stick around a bunch of strangers to score points, which nobody does.

Honestly I prefer how star cards and hero pickups were handled in the original Battlefront.

If you can though, check out co-op mode. It's really fun, and it focusses on what the community wanted: clone wars content.

Its good but again, its EA.its your money so please, do as you wish but personally, giving EA chances? Not on my book.

I should have bought it when it was $8 on psn. I'll wait again until it's that price.
