‘Star Wars Battlefront II’ updates loot box system after months of criticism

Star Wars Battlefront II is finally getting a new progression system after its loot box system caused a massive outcry from fans and critics in late 2017.

EA announced a new linear progression for Star Wars Battlefront II Friday, which means that instead of accruing loot boxes (a.k.a. crates) through gameplay and unlocking random upgrades, players will gain level and be able to choose specific upgrades (a.k.a. Star Cards) for specific classes, heroes, and ships by playing as them. Players will no longer be able to purchase upgrades with real money.
