Can't really compare BF4- there's no Vader in Battlefield

Yea I dont think it will ever change to be honest.
Battlefront 2 will still probably be one of the Top 5 selling games of the year even with the controversy
Exactly. Because it is star wars. And it has a real story (which to be honest I want to play just for that reason).
They now fixed MP, so I don't see it being an issue anymore? But people will hate EA....Well because it's EA....and they are dirty scumbags.

I don't know why people bitch about it when MMO's use the same tactic and even move the goal posts once you get geared up.
Also, as others have pointed out, this really isn't all that different than the Battlefield games so I'm not sure why this is an issue.
The bottom line is that people pay for DLC and have since day one of it's inception. People continue to pay for microtransactions and it's big business. You can earn everything in the game without paying for it. The unlock prices aren't really all that bad right now, you just need to invest a lot of time in the game which is the point. It leads people to want to spend more real money on the game. I don't know why people bitch about it when MMO's use the same tactic and even move the goal posts once you get geared up.

This is how the game industry works. They say vote with your wallet and that's what the gaming community did.

Again, there are 2 threads in the News section of these forums, as well as the last two pages of this thread, explaining why people were/are upset.
And again; just because one game does it, doesn't make it any less upsetting when another does.
From my understanding, it is nothing like Battlefield in terms of hours required. To get most of the vehicle unlocks you can play them for 3-4 hours. For most weapons you get them fairly quickly to, within 15 or so hours you can have most of them.
If I recall in BF3, I got all of the Artillery (or was it Tank Destroyer?) unlocks in around 2 hours. The only hard part of BF4 was certain accessories required 50 or so kills. This was not much of a problem for most people, but since I can't stand cheap Chinese airsoft accessories it was a bit of a pain to unlock an Eotech for some of the weapons. But it wasn't a concern for most.
BF1 the unlocks took a bit longer and I don't have all of them. There is also less content all around. But still, you could get good weapons fairly quickly. I think i have most of the weapons and vehicle unlocks at 50 hours in.
Guess I'll be a day one... renter from redbox. LOL
Again, it doesn't matter. So long as people keep paying for microtransactions, companies will continue to use them for generating additional revenue.
I always prefer my fps games on pc. but last night I played titanfall 2 single player on xbone for about 45 min and i did alright.(didn't trust pc count) I'm 80-90% sure I'll pick up the pc version of BF2 this weekend. it seems really good so hopefully, we'll have a good count for 6 months at least. how many of yall gonna show up on pc in launch window?Never knew Redbox rented PC games?......O wait who the hell plays a FPS on a console....poor kids

Can anyone explain why Reddit is so butt hurt over this game? Nobody is FORCING anyone to buy in game credits.....just play the damn game. So far I've been having a blast with it!
Go read.
The reasons are largely irrelevant. People have made this a viable business model. Until that changes, EA is going to keep doing it.

the star cards don't really give you any real advantage...

The only mode I play on Battlefront 1 is fighter squadron. I have zero interest in the people shooting aspects. And for this, I want to be comfy on the couch and play on the big screen, hence PS4.
I use and work on computers/servers all day long and sometimes I just don't want to sit in front of a PC.
I have been reading and it seems so senseless...nobody HAS to pay for it and the star cards don't really give you any real advantage. Just play the damn game and enjoy it.
Wow, it's even worse than I originally thought. I'd encourage folks to watch this video for an overview of the issues:
Not only did they decrease in-game credit rewards but there is a 3 hour cooldown for being able to earn credits on certain modes. Unbelievable.
Wait, no, it's EA...totally believable.
It will take 4,528 hours of gameplay (or $2100) to unlock all base-game content in star Wars: Battlefront 2
Its getting plenty of mediocre reviews as well.
Game Informer - 6.5/10
Shacknews - 6/10
The Telegraph - 3/5
Trusted Reviews - 3/5
Gamespot - 6/10 (in progress review score)
IGN - 7/10 (in progress review score)
OK now I am angry lol! Thanks for this.
I get it now....but I will say if you ignore all of the hate and just play the game...it IS really fun! I got about halfway through the single player last night and had a blast. It's a pretty game too.
So what.
the progression system definitely sounds grindy but I think Star Wars fans will appreciate the game a lot more...the game nails the feeling of being in the Star Wars universe...as one of the reviews I read stated--- "Battlefront 2 isn’t trying to be a competitive game, it’s trying to be a lighthearted Star Wars shooter, and it does that pretty well...that philosophy doesn’t excuse the Star Card system by any means, but it’s why I could still have fun in spite of it"
