I'm sure this mod will be one of the best, Just make sure you get the publicity because it will be a shame to see empty servers like every other mod out there. I will certainly try and spread the word myself as this is one not to be missed, imagin the popularity that desert combat received for bf1942 execpt its StarWars baby!

I've always liked the battlefield engine becuase it's so immersive, a reason GC was so wildly succesful. Now I bought Battlefront and it is a great action game to play with your friends, but that pails in comparison to GC, and since I believe this mod will turn out beter even than GC...well I'll just say I feel sorry for Lucas Arts, being betten out by mods can't be fun.

I look forward to your updates.

Well we're going to make it more fun than the said games. Battlefront was good, but it didn't use all of its potential. There were problems with space combat. Also, the weapons weren't very diverse, as many classes had the same weapon but with a different name. We will fix this. Also we will include more weapons, more classes, and more vehicles. The maps will also be more authentic than in Battlefront. Also one of the main reasons Battlefront couldn't live up to its potential was the engine. The engine wasn't that great. Since we have the BF2 engine it'll look superb. One of the major problems of Battlefront was the map layout. The maps themselves were ok, but the vehicle distribution and the spawn point locations weren't so great. Also we don't want to focus too much on EU planets right now as we want to get the movie planets done, since those are the most important. I mean the majority clearly thinks that the movie planets are way more fun than the EU planets since you see them on screen and they feel more epic. We will include EU planets however, eventually. We also HAVE to include EU elements such as EU weapons, classes, etc. since the movies just aren't enough for that. But the main batch of maps will be based on the movies. However, don't expect any EU planets until we are done with the movie planets.

These are the maps that we are planning for. The maps in bold are the ones we are going to release first. The normal font maps, most of which are EU, are the ones we will release later.

Maps
Galactic Civil War
Tantive IV: Containment
Tatooine: Mos Eisley
Tatooine: Dune Sea
Yavin: Space
Death Star: Trench Run
Yavin: Massassi Temple
Correlia: Metropolis
Dantooine: Valleys
Hoth: Echo Base
Hoth: Space
Bespin: Tibanna Gas Platforms
Bespin: Cloud City
Kessel: Prisoner Facility
Sullust: Deception
Endor: Shield Generator
Endor: Space

And about the online servers thing. We have that figured out. We will probably use the TPF clan servers for the mod initially. And oh I expect a lot of people to be online as the mod is getting a lot of attention.

As you can see we have plenty of EU planets and battles, so the mod won't be focused entirely on movie elements.
