The Star Wars BattleFront II Mod is nearing release.

What is it?
This is a full-out mod that expands SWBF2 for the Xbox, giving you new gameplay, maps and characters.

Game Modes

* New/Updated Hero Assaults - Coruscant, Jabba's Palace, Utapau, and more!
* New Hunt modes - Gammoreans at Jabba's Palace, Gungans on Naboo Plains, Naboo (humans) on Theed, Nelvaanians on Nelvann, Bothans on Bothawui
* Classic Conquest - All ground maps
* Order 66 - Clones vs Jedi. Appears on any existing map where Order 66 was known to happen
* Jedi CTF - Jedi VS Sith 1-Flag CTF
* Hero Conquest - Conquest with Heroes VS Villains. Any type of character - jedi, jet trooper, soldier, etc.
* JubJub - A kids mode. Everyone is the size of an Ewok, when characters die they kneel, and there are no pain/death sounds. It's simple, but fun. I built it for my nephews mostly.

This could be the Star Wars game of forever!

Best of luck with the project. I hope all your development goes smoothly.

Oh, and one last thing.... THANK YOU for doing this. Seriously Mate, I was extremely disappointed when I heard we wouldn't be getting SW Battlefront III this year. And although I like the recently released PSP and DS games, there is no substitute for the console versions. As an avid Star Wars fan this is the best SW related news I've heard in a long while.

whoah hang on there, its not my work. Its the work of "Teancum" over @ GameToast.

Ahh, I see. Well I've never heard of GameToast so thanks for bringing us the news

I thought that was another string to your bow of many talents there cbagy... lol.

What f******* bow lol.

Woaw ... fantastic ... where we can get it ?

Can you post some screenshot ?

Thanks

Nothing has appeared yet Darknoir. Its been in the pipeline for months and months. The first release will feature everything ive pasted in the first post. It will be quickly followed by another release with more content added. I believe the aim is to release a stable version first. On line content can also be added to the install

Ok thanks
I will stand by too lol

There is a preview movie over @ Gametoast but i havent any experience at embedding these things into posts.

looks interesting will check it out/thanks!

That video looks great. Was that Kyle Katarn?

This is really coming along now, can't be long to wait.

Getting closer

Updates done over the holiday:

* The Classic Conquest side was heavily revamped. Infantry is now 10x more accurate than it ever was in the SWBF Conversion Pack. Flyers are more accurate as well. Still finishing flyers, then tweaking ground vehicles.
* Bespin Platforms was revisited and polished. Its not 100% how I want it, but its definitely ready for the first release. It just needs vehicle tweaking and additional gametypes (all for v2)
* Thule is now coming together nicely. Clone Wars is pretty much how it was left. Galactic Civil War adds the Rebel walker cut from the game and the V-Wing airspeeder, two vehicles new to the Xbox.
* Kashyyyk: Docks is 95% done, and ready for a v1 release. Only Conquest and Classic Conquest are polished up, but that's plenty for v1.
* Sullust was added and tweaked to work correctly on the Xbox.
* Three new classes are in the process of being added to Sullust (the infantry test map) - Special, Melee and Recon. Once I've got them perfected they'll be added to all maps.
* Dash Rendar, Bossk and Greedo were put in-game (though Greedo isn't currently assigned as a hero anywhere)
* Coruscant Streets will likely be renamed Nar Shaddaa. This is to give us another planet for Galactic Conquest in version 2.
* The CIS Dwarf Spider will likely make an appearance on maps. Its a very popular unit in the CGI cartoons.
* Jedi CTF will likely have the "robo bunny" CTF flag from Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II as an homage to my favorite Star Wars game. (see hide tag below)
* Tatooione: Dune Sea, Naboo: Plains and the villain Cad Bane are the next things on my list to get green on the first post's task list.
* Jedi on the Coruscant campaign mission and Order 66 gametypes will get more variants. A Chiss male, some face and robe variants, etc. Its a little too plain at the moment.

I saw the bow man. It was pink and frilly and you wore it on your head when you thought nobody was looking.

Don't worry bro. I won't tell nobody. Your secret is safe with me.

very excited for this. which website is the project hosted at?

note: this is in no way complete as the creator has stated. many things are not completed, but its still pretty sweet and gives a good idea of what is coming.

Another major update to this stunning mod coming this weekend.
The forum topic is now for members only, however, after release
