Pros
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

Cons
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.
Con In game currency purposely made more difficult to earn post release
Mortal Kombat X's difficulty for obtaining in game currency has been day one patched to be more difficult to receive in order to push players into spending more money on the game, despite just paying full price upon it's release. On top of this, most reviews for the game were done before the patch, which of course conveniently falsely represents the actual patched release version in the developers and publishers favor.
Con Steam does not properly install the full game
There is an issue when downloading and installing Mortal Kombat X on Steam where the game only installs partially and when launched never install the rest of the needed components, which are listed in the DLC section of the title. Users will have to manually go to the DLC section of the game in their Steam library install all the needed packs to get the game fully installed and working.
Con Same day release DLC
For $59.99 one would expect to get the full game, but of course in this day and age that is not the case. Those looking to have the actual full amount of release day content are looking at a $122.95 USD price tag.
Con Microtransactions to make the game easier
There are microtransactions in the game that allow for users to pay for easier to pull off fatalities. Essentially making the game now unbalanced for those that choose to pay to those that don't after already spending $59.99 on the title.
