The Green ARC now has 2 supply packs, the rally boost, and a mine to better round out his loadout.
The Blue ARC has replaced the Pistols with an Underhanded Chaingun, though is slower from hauling 2 heavy weapons. Had to half the power of the chaingun since it was deemed too powerful, but retains its effectiveness against vehicles and droideka shields; for that matter the spread cone is also thinned for better chance of ripping your targets apart.
The Red ARC has a Shotgun added to his repertoire and replaced the Auto Turrets with Recon droids.
The Orange ARC has the BT-X42 Republic Flamethrower and DC-17 pistol added to his loadout to better suit his combat role.
The Yellow ARC Clone Commander sports a nifty Westar M5 Rifle with 3 settings; Rapid Fire, Semi (effective against vehicles’ weak points), and the 3-round burst fire. The Rage boost is unlimited but needs cooldown after each use. He also has some thermals and has 2 auto turrets for reinforcing positions.
The Black Jet Trooper has a Blaster Rifle and timebombs added for additional offensive airborne options. The EMP launcher now has 3 rounds a clip. His jet fuel is greatly extended for prolonged flight, but is not unlimited.
All of the ARCs have additional color on their armor.
The ARC-170 has been corrected to use bombs, and the V-wing has been made a standard fighter with standard laser cannons and proton torpedoes. The LAAT has the Muunilinst 10 art on it. All ships have cockpits for 1st person views.
Unpack the side mod and replace the original "rep.lvl" and "repshell.lvl" files located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side
with the files in this pack. BE SURE TO BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILES FIRST!!!
Also I failed to previously mention that side mods break online compatibility. So be sure to have the original side ready for online play.

Please give me any feedback.

This looks amazing man, I was wondering if you could ever try and make a Phase 2 clone ARC trooper mod to look like this.
Thankfully I have the msh data for such. I could consider that as an alternative side.
Would you ever start on the mod?
If you ever download the Skin changer from Commander Awesome, me making that change would be redundant.
I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between this mod and Psyqhical's Rogue ARC Troopers Mod. Does this mod replace original republic and the second one is like an additional era? Could you please tell me?
edit: Nevermind. This one replaces republic and the other one replaces rebels in vanilla game
Correct. Though due to my Seagate drive dying on me, I will have this mod type continued in my powered sides mod.
