Launched in 2017, Star Wars Battlefront 2 initially faced a wave of criticism from both players and critics. A significant portion of this backlash targeted the game’s loot box system, which restricted access to many beloved Star Wars characters using randomized loot boxes. While it was theoretically possible for players to earn these characters through regular gameplay, the time required was often prohibitive, making it an unattainable goal for most. Following adjustments made by DICE, players were able to evaluate the gameplay itself more fairly, and generally found it to be of high quality. Over the years since its release, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has developed a dedicated fan base, with a small but passionate community keeping the game active.
