UT is a completely different kind of game, not even the same genre imao
A mod like FS would NEVER work on the UT platform
I'm guessing you have not tried the latest update to the UT2004 mod "Troopers Dawn of Destiny." The final build was released last month. It is nothing like the original build you mentioned. The lead designer of TDoD is one of the developers from "Red Orchestra." If you like your games more arcade based/bunny hopping I would suggest you stay away from this mod. Most of TDoD’s features are going to be a turn off for the average BF2/2142 players. Imagine a realistic Star Wars or what Stars Wars would be if it was made by the producers of Red Orchestra and you will have an idea of what kind of mod is TDoD.
To start with, you won't find any imaginary floating cross hairs to aim with in front of you. You have to aim with true 3D irons sights not 2D sights like BF2/2142. Also 2-3 hits stops anyone. The support class' rocket launcher has a true 3D scope like snipers in Insurgency and RO. You have to see the weapon models to believe them. They look better than any SW FPS models I have see yet. There are vehicles X-Wings, Ties, Speeder bikes the list goes on. If you are looking for a realistic SW game go to http://www.ut2004troopers.com/ If you want you experience less gritty and candy coated, look elsewhere.
I have no problem with FS being on 2142. I like the 2142 squad system. However, it needs to be compatible with the latest 2142 patch. Until then you will find me at:

Closed Alpha Test & Deth..
It's the same engine but alot of newer features and a rendering scheme. Saying it is just a mod is not really accurate tbh, and there are other things besides what you mentioned that couldn't be done in BF2.
