Update:
Yesterday, I got my game to run and have done several situational tests. I played other games for 3 hours before loading SWBF2, played all solo modes over a period of two hours. Played SWBF2 a half dozen other play sessions over the past two days, with no over revving of the fan and no shut down due to over heating.
The steps I followed are from the forums here as well as another game where people experienced random shutdowns and got the overheat message. In my experience, do the following in order:
Game needs to be stored to internal storage, if it’s on an external drive, move it
Turn off the Xbox by pressing the Xbox button on front of console until it powers down.
Unplug the consoles power cord, wait 20 seconds, then plug in console. Press the Xbox button on console to turn on console.
Clear MAC address by going to settings>all settings>network>network settings>advanced settings>alternate MAC address>clear, then restart Xbox
Upon doing the above, I’ve been playing without any problem. I purchased the Celebration Upgrade tonight and no problem with the game. If you still have a problem, replace the power cord for your Xbox as that will also cause shutdown with the overheat error

I have digital download version of the game and get the same thing, in all modes, even just opening a crate. Fan revs up, Xbox shuts down due to overheating when it’s the very first game I play. I’ve tried everything I’ve been able to find on the forums and nothing works. I played SWBF2 for months after release til an update killed the game. Please fix this issue so Those affected can play again

  this doesn't really work, had this problem with bf2 when it first came out, after 2 weeks it started doing the crashing, i followed these steps to cure lag and crashes which it did for a few games, anyway about a month after bf2 came out it blew my new xbox 1x up, had to go back for repair, anyway not touched bf2 untill this week and guess what the same issue is happening again, my worry is 2 weeks time my xbox might die again
