| Marvel4's Era Mod - File Description |
|
Description:
"Marvel4's Era Mod" is pretty straightforward - it's an era mod made by Marvel4.
The mod looks nice and has a high level of polish. It is a lot like Battlefront Extreme, for all that entails. Because while it is a solid, consistent piece of work, like Battlefront Extreme it appears to be a lot of flash with not a lot of really new substance.
And of course, that's completely fine, if that's what you're looking for in a mod. Not to draw the comparison out too long, but there are obviously lots of people who enjoy Battlefront Extreme, despite its relatively plain additions to the game. There are consequently lots who could probably enjoy this - it does do a lot in terms of the requisite clone legion skins, the updated models, etc.
One real issue I saw with this was the essential lack of difference between the units. The author bills it as "balance," and while balance is definitely something that should be sought after, I think there are better ways to balance things than by making everything feel functionally identical. It didn't contribute to the feeling of "seen that before" by not having any really unique units.
Also, the unlock requirements for some of the units were, I thought, a little silly. The heroes in this mod aren't heroes, they're unlockable units - at fifty points. The unlockable classes scale down from there - 40, 30, 20, 10 - and really, any unlock above about 20 points seems pretty excessive. The heroes are functionally unavailable until the battle is nearly over (depending on your rate of points acquisition), but even besides that, I think heroes as unlockables is fundamentally flawed - once you can unlock them, there's no reason to change from them. By not having heroes as a "appear-once-every-so-often" bonus, the heroes don't feel as special anymore.
Now there are a handful of criticisms above, and don't let that turn you away from the mod - as mentioned above, it is well-polished and visually appealing. It's definitely an acceptable mod; my criticism is borne out of the fact that if I'm going to download a big mod, I want it to be exceptional. I don't think this is that, yet.
However - it's not a huge download, and any mod of this size is always worth trying out, simply for the breadth of content available. Go ahead and take a look at the screenshots below, and give the mod a try!

Posts: 122 | Ok, about the heroes: When I unlock them in the stock game, I usually don't die again - I just kill everyone with ease. So I changed them to unlockable units. 50 points might seem very high, but it's not that hard to reach them. I tried many different point setups, but with anything below 50 points, it was way too easy to unlock the them (especially with vehicles). I think it's fine now, because the AI heroes provide an additional challenge and most of the time you just use them as a last resort. |

Posts: 1092 | That was one thing I forgot to mention, too.Yes, it is mentioned in the readme, but for many having a bunch of unlocalized, unplayable maps sitting in the instant action list will be confusing (at the very least it is visually unappealing). It would be better, in the future, to simply use a file check to see if your other mod is installed before adding the extra missions.

Posts: 314 | It's a good mod but I have a few gripes about it:
A) The Sharpshooter has a rifle or carbine instead of an actual sniper. I would suggest making an assault class with a rifle and a sniper class with a sniper rifle
B)When I have the V 1.3 custom sides installed the Galactic Marines appear as 501st commanders.
C)The Republic unlockable units are nothing special, just the sharpshooter and trooper classes with rage or rally.
D) Some of the commander units look the same as a regular soldier, maybe you could give them shoulder pads or skirts.
E)Only the commander carries the health and ammo supplies and the A.I never spawn as the commander, maybe the engineer should have the supplies.
F) Commander Cody's jetpack is non-functional.
G)Every clone unit looks the exact same except the engineer and the commander on some maps, maybe a few model changeups?
Thats all I really have to say and I would like to add that I really like the Commander Gree skin. |

E: The AI does spawn as the commander. Also, why should an engineer also be a medic? I never liked that...
F: That's not even a jetpack...
G: Well, they're clones after all... |

@#22 You HAVE to download Marvel4's BF1 conversion mod and if I were you I would remove the conversion mod from your addon folder so as to avoid any conflicts. |

Posts: 25 | For this mod you need the rest of the maps from Marvel4, or the bf1 conversion pack for the mod to work, the mod will work on the original bf2 maps but may conflict with those. I think that this mod is a replacement for the conversion pack 1.0 for people who don't want to download the whole thing. If you want the maps you can find them in Marvels list of things he has made. If you have the conversion pack you don't need this mod the sides are mostly the same. Except for the best unit the sniper which was removed WHY!!!
I really think that the sniper should be in here as well. One more thing if you have Dark times it is changed in the list it shows up as 123 Clone Wars. ? |

Posts: 14 | Sweet mod man, a lot of what this gentlemen said in the review is true but I trust in the next version you will have something that is even better. If I may suggest, giving classes different models/skins wouldn't hurt and for some of the unlock able classes like the droid commander, weapons should be something a bit more unique. Also maybe we can lower the damage the weapons cause and then I think you will have something pretty solid ranking up there with the BFX and Ultimate clone wars eras mods. |

I haven't downloaded it because I'm not so sure if it works on Multiplayer. Does it work on Multiplayer? Does the skins change when you play multiplayer. or will me battlefront get weird or something when I try multiplayer with this. Please reply whether it will work on multiplayer. Thanks |

Posts: 14 | Are you planning an update to this? maybe a 2.0? I really do like this mod, its just it needs some variety for some skins and some weapons. Then it would be really beast. I downloaded your updated version of this and like that you changed the hud and a few other things. All that would need to be added is different models/skins for basic infantry classes like the soldier, assault and sniper classes. I probably mentioned this before, but some unlock able units needs something more special in the weapon department, but other than that an overall 8.1 |
