Pros
Pro Created by Bungie, a well known studio for making quality games
Created by the same company that created Halo, this spiritual successor has the familiar feel with some refined game play and the polish and quality you'd expect. The DLC coming out with Taken King has also been good, and expand on the game quite nicely.
Pro MMO experience
An MMO experience in a FPS game; Bungie has done quite well with making attaining gear and weapons enjoyable through single and multiplayer content. Taken King made the grind much less of a chore and more enjoyable as well, and made the whole leveling process better with refinements to all aspects of the game.
Pro Customizable gear/weapons
Destiny has a great system to customize gear and weapons with different color options and designs, as well as acquiring different gear through playable content.
Pro Fun team-based combat
Battlefront has fast-paced action and large scale battles between The Empire and the Rebels. There's a lot of shooting involved, so expect to see a flurry of laser beams overhead constantly.
Most of the battles involve taking or holding a location from the opposing side. You can move around on foot or jump using your jetpack, which is useful for scaling walls and hills. You can enter various vehicles such as the AT-AT walker, which makes for great fun.
When you die, you'll respawn after a short delay. This causes it to become a tug-of-war where one side slowly overpowers the other.
Pro Recreates many beautiful movie-like locations
Fight against the Empire or the Rebels in beautiful locations from the films, and visited and recreated by the developers: Hoth, Jakku, Endor and Tatooine.
Pro Split-screen co-op
During a current trend to leave out this feature, Battlefront includes local co-op where you and a friend can fight off waves of imperial troops and walkers. This mode is also available online as well.
Pro Iconic Star Wars characters featured
Play as favorite classic Star Wars characters. Luke, Han, Leia, Boba Fett, Darth Vader and the Emperor are all there.
Pro Gameplay is similar to the original games
The gameplay of Battlefront follows closely with the style of the original games, with fast-paced action and large scale battles for the fate of the galaxy.
Cons
Con Imbalanced multiplayer
While stats from gear is equalized during multiplayer, perks from legendary weapons and armor give a real advantage to players who have put in more time. Not a problem that makes it unplayable, but newer players might get frustrated when skill is not the only factor.
Con No campaign
There is no single-player campaign; and it seems there never will be. No rich story to go with our current generation Star Wars shooter. Only limited Co-op missions fighting off waves of enemies.
Con Expensive season pass
While some DLC has been free so far, like the Battle of Jakku; EA and DICE set a pricy amount of $50 for the season pass, bringing the total cost to over $100 just to purchase the game and season pass at face value.
