Topic: So what's special about the mod?

How's this gonna take me away from Bf2 or even the original BF2 game?
Bf=Battle Front BF=Battlefield
You can create a mod for BF2 but do you have the money to run a online server(64)? Will it aways be there? Will there even be enough people playing it?I gave up on modding because due to this. If theres no EU maps I don't care playing it. Movie Battles have been used 100s of times I play them im done with them.

Re: So what's special about the mod?

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.

Re: So what's special about the mod?

I'm very impressed with the screenies you guys have put out and as you've said, this MOD is getting a lot of attention. I'm also sure that if you get this right many G.S.P.'s will be falling over themselves to get servers up and running.

I look forward to your updates.

Re: So what's special about the mod?

Some BIG updates coming soon ! "You seen the Movies now play em" that should be our catchphrase, I know im bigging up our Team but we DO have the resources to pull this off.
