Star Wars: Battlefront II Players Apparently Getting Free Crates

3.8
There is no question that Star Wars: Battlefront II has seen its share of hardships since its launch last November. While the game features a strong single player campaign and multiplayer, it also has a heaping amount of criticism surrounding its loot crate system, which almost went through with the shipped game before Electronic Arts pulled the plug.

Now, while the company thinks about re-implementing that controversial system, the developers of DICE seem to be giving out gifts to fans that have put up with said hardships.

Some fans have noted that after logging in to their Star Wars: Battlefront II account, they noticed the following message.

“Fixes deployed. Sincere apologies. Here are some credits for your inconvenience.”

But it’s more than just the 4,000 credits that you get awarded. It turns out that you get four Star Cards for your trouble as well, and they appear to be randomized for players.

We’re not sure if everyone is getting this reward, as we’ve only heard from a select few that have gotten their hands on it. But considering all the stuff players have had to put up with, it wouldn’t surprise us if the developer was giving everyone a gift in order to keep them sticking around in the game – even if it just a few credits and Cards.

DICE has already noted that it’s hard at work on new content for the game, including the proposed Conquest Mode, which has been a hit in its previous releases. While that’s not entirely confirmed yet, the team is well aware that die-hard Battlefront II players are requesting it, and are listening for other requests as well. When these will be added to the game is beyond us, but EA should have an announcement soon – again, to keep the players from checking out other multiplayer fare.

So the next time you got into the game, be sure to check your rewards to see if you got these freebies added. You never know when those extra credits and Star Cards are going to come in handy.

Star Wars: Battlefront II is available now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Izuku It would be awesome if they do actually give out free stuff :D


Well they will, coz like they need to too keep it afloat. The crates in that game have roaylly melted that games potential.


They'll just decrease the odds of getting what you want. Simple.

Dragon Well, it's good that they are giving out the free "crates" but damn. They overran this game with those crates to the point where it was not even fun.


That is what usually happens to games with stuff like this...


correction: "this is what usually happens when a company has to dig out of the hole they dug into" this would have been a better game if they didnt have the stupid crates.


Any games in this day and age would be better off without them in my opinionx They sre a stupid addition. I want the old games back.. The good ol days man!

Craig Crates in this game are what doomed it, morons.


Agreed, but I feel the lack of newity was also a factor of it being dead. The game didnt change from the first game so no one really wanted to play it. But crates was a huge problem with it too.

The games run by EA shouldn't have to say more on that matter though the gesture is nice.

Nice to see them attempting to give back although the damage has been done.
