(Battlefront 2 tends to get snotty if it detects more than 500 missions.) It’s a tough choice made tougher by the fact that Dark Times II boasts 16 new maps covering Expanded Universe planets such as Nar Shaddaa and Taris. The sheer size of Dark Times II nearly rivals the Conversion Pack, so there might be space issues with having both installed alongside other mods. (Don’t forget to patch it!)

The effect of witnessing a 64-player laser fight between Sith and Old Republic warriors on Jango Fett’s homeworld of Concord Dawn is just one of a plethora of positives. It comes with its own set of heroes (hi, Revan) and soldiers uniformed in the Old Republic red and gold or the polished silver and red of the Sith Empire. The pinnacle of the pack is the inclusion of an entire third era based off BioWare’s legendary Knights of the Old Republic RPG. Modes such as deathmatch and the amazingly fun Order 66-a team of clone troopers hunting down a team of Jedi-maximize Battlefront 2’s already great replayability. Over 50(!) extra heroes and several clone legions join the ranks. It brings in 22 new maps spanning the Galactic Civil War and Clone Wars eras including the much-favored Bespin platforms and Tatooine’s sprawling Dune Sea. The Conversion Pack is a huge package of additional heroes, units, and vehicles. As a rule of thumb, keep the 1.3 update installed when configuring mods, as many of them won’t work without it. That combo provides a sizable content boost to most modes with minimal deviation from stock army-on-army gameplay, but plenty more choices await your consideration in this gallery. If you’re just looking for the grand slam of what Battlefront 2’s mods offer, consider installing the Conversion Pack, its patch, and the unofficial 1.3 game update.
GameSpy is no more, but external lobby programs such as GameRanger and GameMaster keep multiplayer breathing. If that’s not enough worthiness for your Steam library, it’s also stupidly cheap as of writing (until May 7) at $3/£2, so picking up the base game is an inexpensive first step. While EA thinks about that (”don’t hold your breath,” says my Force-powered 8 ball), 2005’s Battlefront 2 still hosts a small but fiercely dedicated community and a legion of intricate mods. A smooth launch and low bug count wouldn’t hurt, but hey, we’re PC gamers-let’s toss modding support right on top of the pile. Ten years has been quite the wait.īeyond jetpacking Rebel rocket troopers and anti-aliased Endor tree bark lies a fleet of expectations. There's still months to go before DICE’s Frostbitten reboot of grand-scale Star Wars-fare hits monitors, but the (carefully choreographed) bits seen so far are exciting stirrings of trading hot laser, lightsaber, and explodey death in both familiar and new worlds.
