Clone Wars Extended

Mod review

I was wary at first about downloading this mod, as it had many maps - when, from past experience of some of the stand-alone maps, I was interested in just some of them. Sadly, the mod wasn't that much fun for me. Some of the maps crashed. Some had an annoying flashing black splinter affect at times. Kashyyyk - Kacchiro Hunt didn't seem to make sense, with too many yellow CPs. And on several of the maps (e.g. Dorin Freight Dock, the Ryloth maps, Kalee - Sanctuary) the CIS were just too overpowered! By contrast, on the Star Destroyer the sides would've been more balanced if the CIS had a leader ('hero') with Force Push, instead of Jango Fett.

I couldn't get used to the new configuration of Clone trooper classes. On maps I was asking myself "Agghh! Which trooper has mines!?" It's the Marshall - but not all maps had a Marshall... And sometimes as soon as I spawned as a Jedi and rushed into battle, I was shot down! Meaning that the Jedi came across as weak. Kalee - Sanctuary needed a more detailed map, as it was a bit of a maze.

The best battles I had were on Coruscant - City (Hero Assault), and Dorin Freight Dock (Hunt).

In summary, this mod was sadly too frustrating, even with Fake Console tweaking of reinforcement to better balance the sides. I've deleted it after last than a month of testing it.
