Battle Front II Review.

[Mongoose]

So: should I think about picking up the original SW Battlefront? Mongoose mentioned that some of the maps are better. That alone might make it worth it, but are there any other advantages or just interesting differences? Which Jedi / heroes make an appearance? (I noted in a post above that they aren't playable- I think I might actually prefer that.)

BF1 had afew things going for it. Most of the maps that it shipped with it were edit with some good exceptions(Hoth, Rhen Var, geonosis and bespin platfroms)
but since it's been out for awhile, there are some great add on maps maps.http://www.gametoast.com/modules.php...oad&file=index

For what ever reason, most of the good maps from BF1 were either cut or replaced with ones that weren't as good.


Some of them are unbalanced, but playing with 2-3 other players and trying to beat the over powerd team is fun.

But if you want to play online, BF2 is better. Mostly because almost no one plays BF1 anymore(or at least ont when i log in)

Also, alot of the Fist person views are better done, and the vehicles have a good first person mode(In BF2, they're completely gone)

Vehicles in BF1 were stronger, and probably unbalanced. It wasn't really a problem in Single palyer, but getting spawn edited by an AT-AT gets old fast.

If you don't want to wait for the BF2 mods(The First person views, huge maps weapon packs and other addons are already being planned. It'll probably be afew more months before any are released. 3 months and up for the maps though ) Then BF1 is worth it.



Neither are very close to the movies. BF1 was probalby a little more creative though. the only things theat bugs me about the units is that some classes will be the swamp trooper skin, but the others look the same as before....
