Taking a Crazy Drive with LotusEliseGeek: Mod Review

Last time, I reviewed the Unofficial Patch for Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Let's talk about Battlefront Extreme. One word. WOW. Really! This Mod is just another game! Man where do I start!

OK. Let's go with units. BFX adds new units for each faction. How many? FOUR. Four, really awesome units. But that's not all. The units CHANGE for each map. That means that maps have different unique units. Plus, to add even more, the skins for the units change for the map as well! It's really awesome. Wait...... did I say that already?

Gameplay has changed too. Guns are less accurate, and bullets do more damage. There is also weapon style changes and other stuff to complicated to explain.

Fun? YES! Let's just put it this way. If Lucas Arts came out with Battlefront 3 and it was EXACTLY like BFX, I would buy it. Go download it. NOW.

The Mad Driver: LotusEliseGeek

Hello to all you who are not there! I'm LotusEliseGeek, and I’m doing some mod reviews for DrMadMan here. First, I will be talking about the mods he recommended to me. Let’s start with the Unofficial Star Wars Battlefront II Patch v1.3. This patch is absolutely necessary for any other mods out there, so if you are thinking about downloading one, listen up. This is a generally good mod. It does not tinker with most of the gameplay. The main changes are dealt with the visuals. The hud gets a blue background, and some units are modified. The changes the managaurd so that he has a cape, and the clone commander so he looks like a commander and not a clone marine. Basically, the modifications make the units look more accurate to the movie. My one pet peeve is the imperial officer. His gun is solid black, no texture. Ugh! It’s just so weird to have a solid black gun! Anyway, the mod also works online, which is great. No hassle, just go online and the mod will not affect your playing.

This mod is definitely worth getting, especially if you want other mods. And with that i'm done! I'll come back with Star Wars Battlefront II: Extreme!

Essential (sorta) list of mods for Star Wars Battlefront 2

My friend wanted this list, so, here we go.
Essential (sorta) list of mods for Star Wars Battlefront 2
  1. Unofficial Star Wars Battlefront II v1.3 Patch If you are getting ANY other mods you will most likely need this patch. The full version includes a Kotor faction, but it is not entirely necessary. If you want the BF2 conversion pack or the Dark Times , install the lite version.
  2. Battlefront Extreme (2.2) This mod is NEEDED it adds a whole slew of ships, maps, and units. This mods is worth it. You must have the v1.3 patch to install.
  3. Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack Patch (2.2) If you liked the original Battlefront you will love this patch. It adds almost all the units and maps from the original game, yes, you read that right, Spaceships on land maps!
  4. The Dark Times Last (and least) the Dark Times Mod. This mod adds a new faction and a few (I think) new maps. The strong point in this are the heroes. If you like playing with heroes this mod is for you. It expands upon the original force powers and adds quite a few new force powers. It also greatly improves the hand to hand combat.
