As somebody who's played all the Battlefront games, this is the worst one out of them all. I know this game's history and even preordered it at launch. People were hyped for another Star Wars Battlefront game after the Free Radical one got canned. The hunger for another Battlefront never went away.

Around 2013, they showed the Battlefront reboot trailer. Again, excitement was at an all-time high because of Episode VII and this. When it came out, it disappointed people because it wasn’t Battlefront of old. It didn’t have Instant Action, no Galactic Conquest, no campaign, no server browser, no Clone Wars—just Original Trilogy content across four planets: Hoth, Endor, Sullust, and Tatooine. That was it. That was the base game.

Back in 2015, everyone admitted the multiplayer was fun back then. Now? It’s an absolute ghost town. The game that was technically supposed to be Battlefront III got treated like a beta test for what eventually became pay-to-win Battlefront II (2017).

The DLC did make the game more fun, especially with Bespin and Death Star, but guess what? Nobody plays it. It was season pass content that divided the player base for $50. Now it's free and still dead. And DICE couldn't even be bothered to update their Skirmish offline mode. At least then, there would be some way to replay the DLC maps. The only way to play them now is to join a 2015 Discord server or mod them from Nexus, and even then, it’s still a ghost town.

After 10 years, no modder has been able to add bots or transfer the good maps to Battlefront II (2017). This game is awful now in 2025. It really is. Say what you will about the OG Battlefronts, but at least I can go back to them anytime I want. Hell, even the canceled BF3 Wii leaked build—all those other Battlefront games have 100% accessible content. No microtransaction crap. They’re actually something I can own and enjoy. Can’t say the same for 2015.

The only good things about this game are the visuals, gunplay, customization, weapons, survival mode, and DLC maps. But all of that is void when you can’t even access any of its DLC, and the game feels hollow.

Final rating: 4/10
If you plan to get this game for nostalgia—it’s gonna age like milk. It's the worst Battlefront by far.

great game
