GLOBALE

Meet Iden Ersio, the commander of an elite TIE Fighter squadron called the Inferno Squad, merging aerial superiority with commando tactics on the ground. The story begins when she sees the second Death Star explode, and things progress rapidly from there. Join her on a thirty-year journey across the galaxy far away, and see if she manages to complete the Emperor's final order. Characters you know and love make their guest appearances, letting you play as Kylo Ren or Luke Skywalker in missions tailored to these characters. It's an excellent singleplayer experience bridging the gap between Episodes VI and VII.

Specialised classes

SW: Battlefront II brings class-based gameplay to the multiplayer to diversify your experience. Pick an Assault Trooper to push the frontlines with a rifle and devastating shotgun to thin out the enemy ranks. Roll Heavy trooper to lay down suppression fire with a minigun and push through thanks to powerful shields. If you enjoy long-distance support and harrying your foe pick the Specialist for sniper rifles and handy traps. If you choose Officer you'll provide your team with extremely useful abilities boosting their resolve and survivability on the field of battle.

Iconic locations, famous battles

Visit a large number of the planets you know and remember from the Star Wars movies. Explore Theed, Crait, and many other locations drawn from the long history of the galaxy far away. Join armies from several periods: Clones, Droids, Rebels, First Order, and others are recruiting and in need of your gun arm and keen eye.

Heroes and machines

The token system from the first game was reworked from the ground up. Gather points during matches by scoring points for your team in various ways, and unlock access to more powerful units with them. Heavily armored battledroids, Imperial walkers, and powerful heroes are ripe for the taking. Star Wars Battlefront II allows you to experience duels previously unseen in the movies. Test Darth Maul's speed and ruthlessness against Rey's charge and mind control. Teach Kylo Ren the true command of the Force as Master Yoda, or help Captain Phasma catch the traitorous Finn. There are even more heroes for you to discover and work your way towards.

Stunning visuals

Star Wars Battlefront 2 pushed the limits of visual fidelity in games. The photogrammetry technology reaches new heights in DICE's space shooter, provided you have the machine to run it, of course. Crisp textures, realistic models, detailed facial expressions. It's a visual feast worthy of large screens.

Receptions and opinions

Before buying Star Wars Battlefront 2 you probably want to know what the other players, as well as critics, have to say about the game. Especially after the scandal connected with loot boxes, which damaged ranking of the game. However, the idea of loot boxes was quickly changed in order to become more friendly towards players. Most video game score aggregate websites have rated the game at ~7 out of 10. Providing use/r ratings is pointless due to the fact, that the game was ostracized after the scandal.

The reason why we decided to point this out is to show that not all opinions about Battlefront 2 are going to be reliable.  Since the model of loot boxes was changed, the game reception is much better. Players are enjoying the gameplay and possibility of becoming almost everyone from the Star Wars universe. If you want to be a Darth Maul or Darth Vader, here is your chance.
