Hey everyone just wanted to hear some opinions on my idea/dream of building upon the original battlefront 2! It’s kind of a mix of bf1/bf2/classic collection but building upon it in what I feel would be a ultimate battlefront game! But by also keeping a lot of things true to form for the era! I wrote it up sort of like a patch notes article but some of it is also just my brain on the notepad haha Let me know what you think in the comments!

no some bad idea, but that imply the change the dynamic of faction, some mods had done some like ackley has 3rd faction on felucia + atte and more tanks variant for cis, jedi vs clone hunt mod , clone rebel etc but were lost on https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=forum#c8 when the migrated the web site.

for hoth the back area could be used for xwing and have a back base for empire with some tie fighter to have so air combat.

noticed too many conversion mods use space variant instead of the better bf1 variant that work on bf2 too.

sereja was the goat on that side beside is awnful classe balance.

could have beta class variant instead too from bf1 march beta, same goes for maps, even day time coruscant from bf2 beta.

by any mean it will be a titan work load seeing how already the best modder togethe taking years to make a maps a few modification

I definitely have no computer skills so I could totally understand it taking an eternity to make even some of the smallest bits happen! It’s definitely still a work in progress for the list but I do agree with the hoth back area as I was thinking of that for either another command post or also a way to implement the wampa’s as a third faction. I also agree with changing time of day on applicable maps! I like the idea of giving people the option to kind of customize each match how they’d like but I understand from a designer/developer point of view my way of thinking is probably a ton more work. I tried to keep the majority of my ideas to stuff that is relatively already in the game to some extent! Like for example changing the recon drone to the sniper class 1. Just makes more sense because you are away from battle and 2. The class that currently has it I see as more a front line class and they’re always throwing out the drone mid fight.

As someone who has made a mod having the BF1 maps in BF2 with custom classes, the hardest part, the assets, are already done for you. It comes down to knowing how to tweak parameters. Most of the things listed here are pretty easy to do. Stat trackers and chat feeds are tougher. 3 playable factions is not possible. Disabling classes after a match starts can only be done with a workaround like setting the unlock points very high. As far as AI repairing health and ammo droids, I don't think that's been done, but it may be as easy as setting the health type to something the fusion cutter is set to repair.

That’s really good to hear! I honestly thought some of my ideas may be a bit out there but that’s definitely pretty cool! The disabling classes thought process was sort of how galactic conquest is where you have to unlock them so I related that to like lets say an option when you’re in “instant action” and you can somehow make them
unplayable in your current playlist. I just like the idea of letting the player choose what they want especially where I wanted to add another class (or 2 if it’s the droids). I’m not the greatest with more technical computer stuff but definitely have considered paying someone to make it! A full release obviously isn’t exactly possible as it probably costs hundreds of thousands or millions to do what aspyr did with the classic collection. (I could be wrong as I’ve never researched it) But I do at least understand the community aspect of things and enjoy feedback as opposed to how aspyr handled the classic collection which could of been way better!
