I LOVE the idea of BF in the SW galaxy!If I knew how to skin, I would help you guys out, as that is something I would like to get into one day.  I'm currently involved with PoE2 and BF2142 testing, but I will come around and see how you progress, and try to hang out as I have time.

A main factor is the BF engine. The BF engine (especially the BF2142 engine) is far superior to the SWBF engine.

This is not meant as a go at SWBF but SWBF is basically a kids game. It isnt very SW authentic and its pretty basic.

Theres soo much more possible with the BF2142 engine..it is perfectly built for SW.

As a team we are all SW fans ....I doubt the same can be said about Pandemic . Obviously a few people from Pandemic will like SW tho'.

As an ex SWBF modder I know that the scope that we are working to is far bigger than that of SWBF. Alot more models are being made for FS. The only thing SWBF will have more of ,at least for our 1st release or 2 , is maps. However , once we have a couple of maps in place and all the chars and weapons done , making new maps will be a quick process.

A huge difference between SWBF and FS will be the tactical/strategic/teamplay involved. SWBF is much more of a pick up and play, run around on your own blasting everyone, kind of game. Without giving secret info away , FS will be much more teamplay orientated. Your team doesnt work together ? you will lose. This is WAR on a Galactic scale! you need to work together to regain control of the galaxy .

FS's priorities and motto =  Gameplay, Teamwork and Authenticity

Gameplay will be more focused around the Team, it isnt as rushed as SWBF series its more of a thinking mans fight. You need to accomplish goals by ways of working as a Team. You dont have a firefight every 5 seconds if you so dont wish to, then again if you do you can spawn and get stuck straight to the action. Its about choices and dependant on your kit, player class and the map objectives you hold your own destiny as to what and where to go.
Be a Sniper lay low, or a Bothan and sabotage, an Assault up front and working on the front lines, a Wookie engineering and helping the team or unleashing a melee against incoming Imps.
The pace is set by you. Enjoy it as you see fit.

also concider how BF and SWBF play differently? imo BF series is alot better! never even brought SWBF2.

The biggest thing IMO that will set us appart from Battlefront 1 and 2, and virtually every other "official" SW game, is our attention to authenticity.  We as a team are working so hard to make every bit of our mod "authentic" to official SW lore, and especially to the movies.  For every model that I make, I spend most of my research time looking at pics of the models that lucas used in the movies, and researching the movies themselves (ep. 4-6).  You don't realize how many discussions we have every day about how accurate our maps are, or whether there should be another tiny bump in the Stormtroopers armor (I'm not joking), or what shade of dark grey our E-Web should be to accurately represent the one in the movie.

We are working hard to satisfy even the most hardcore star wars nerd, and in doing that, I think this mod will roxors your soxors

Of course there are other things, and for those types of things I will allow xERO to carry on.  Thank you for your time.

I'm a Battlefront 1 and 2 player. I still run around on servers almost every night. So I know what battlefront is like. Not the game we so dearly hoped for. Plus the fact that LA did not support it in any way. I.E. patches and added content.

Even the ships and units were not correct. Clone interceptors were made bombers and TIEs had missiles.

Inaccurate.

Now this mod is made by SW fans. And they don't have a deadline for a DVD to meet. And from the looks of it sofar, it's going to be as accurate as Star Wars you ever be able to find.

Plus BF2 and BF2142 are great games by themselves. Good graphics and great squad systems.

There for this MOD is the life long dream of many a Star Wars fan. A combination of BF2142's great gameplay plus the authentic feel of Star Wars. And I suggest you try to get a hold of it as soon as it's out.
