Geonosis: Canyons (1.0) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Mon, 1 Mar 2010 00:02:55 PST

Geonosis: Canyons, by IndianaJoe, is both a first map and a Geonosis map.

Normally, I could end the review there and most people familiar with SWBF2 mods could be pretty sure what they were getting. I'm pleased to say, however, that this would not be the case with this map.

It's true that Geonosis: Canyons suffers from the fact that it's set on the worn-out planet of Geonosis. In my opinion, there is no way to do a subjectively "great" Geonosis map, since even an objectively great map woul

EP3 Felucia (2.0) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:36:53 PST

This is the second version of TheGoose's Felucia map. It is, again, just an extension of the stock Felucia with some custom sides.

Not a whole lot has been fixed in this version, either. Without even taking into account whatever his testers might have posted, here is what I posted as bugs in my review of the earlier map:
weapons missing localization
weapon HUD tags missing/mis-sized
extra misplaced HUD element added (top bar)
glitchy animation for REP hero
uncaptureable CP
poor AI plann

Ord Mantell: Junkyard (1.6) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:15:25 PST

"Ord Mantell: Junkyard," by Gtarjohn, is his second version of this map. As mentioned before, this map is a fairly simple map with various mostly-Tatooine props scattered about.

The earlier version had several criticisms. Some of them were addressed - the sky is obviously the big one. Unfortunately, it looks like the author replaced the sky with an unedited Dagobah sky which, at various places in the map, looks bad. This is due to the small fog distance and the fact that the Dagobah sky has p

EP3 Felucia (1.0) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:26:10 PST

"EP3 Felucia," submitted by TheGoose is - as you might infer from its title - Felucia, circa 19 BBY.

It also is an excellent example of why we have such adages as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

This map wants to do two things. First, it wants to add new sides to make it more "movie-accurate." While a laudable goal, it is certainly not the first time something like this has been attempted (not to mention all the sides mods that also do this). On the other hand, it hasn't been done as of

Humans vs. Bots Training Map (1.0) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:54:42 PST

"Humans vs. Bots Training Map" (or as it is localized in your game; Republic Training Zone), by DiurnalDarthDarkDeadDude, is a map as to whose purpose you can probably guess from the title. It is another of the maps with which I am left wondering "who is this for?"

As with many maps "focused" on online use, it has a less-than-stellar design (why doesn't anyone making multiplayer-only maps ever seem to care about how they look?) and a relatively pointless single-player gameplay. The map itself

Kuat: Canyon (2) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:34:16 PST

For those of you who remember the December 2009 mapping contest (and you should, as it was only a couple short months ago), you will be familiar with Darth_Spiderpig's newest submission, Kuat: Canyon.

The map itself is a fairly nondescript canyon map. It uses several Tatooine assets on top of a generic grassland base, and unfortunately I think this is a bit of a strike against it. Since nothing has been retextured from its original form, it looks a lot like exactly what it is - several Tatooi

Death Star Story (1.1) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:35:29 PST

CressAlbane's latest submission here on SWBFFiles is called Death Star Story. It's essentially the stock Death Star map changed to have sides that are more faithful to the original film's escape scene.

The map is pretty fun, I must say. I enjoyed playing it a lot. The sides are pretty original and balanced well- there are overwhelming numbers of Imperials but due to obstructions and little health compared to the heroes it is actually a pretty fair matchup.

There are a few new troopers on t

Ord Mantell: Junkyard (1.0) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Maps]

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:20:45 PST

Gtarjohn's latest map, Ord Mantell: Junkyard, is a pretty standard affair. It doesn't bring much to the table, nor does it try to.

As with most maps these days, this one's pretty simple. Some CPs, Tatooine buildings, destroyed stuff, that Yavin sky we've all seen a thousand times before, and a bunch of sharp and steep terrain.

It's unfortunate that I have to write a bad review, since nobody likes a critic who can't make a map to save his life. I'll outline a few of the design decisions tha

Clone Wars Utapau: Reloaded (2.0) [Star Wars Battlefront 2 Mods]

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:02:50 PST

This is joe22's first mod. It changes the stock utapau units to ones that better reflect the Ep3 Utapau battle, ie the 212th Attack Battalion and the 2nd Airborne Company. Weapons have been changed quite well to overheating (rather than ammo) based carbines and rifles, with other changes such as new grenades and seperate health/ammo powerups. The weapons are similar to the stock ones but different enough to feel new. The skins and edited models (like the backpacks ) for the republic are nice to
