bf1 expanded edition mod

Mod review

The greatest thing about this mod is that it truly shows potential for BF1 modding. Being able to play different eras and modes (more or less) is a dream come true. However, I am not the intended audience for some of these decisions; I don't really care about cross-faction combat, so I feel that all of those extra "eras" (like Clones vs Empire, Rebels vs CIS, etc) are wasting space that could be used for other eras.

A lot of the custom maps, while looking somewhat plain and basic, do however pose some interest strategic scenarios. For example, there's this map that's basically just a wide, open, empty plain with a random assortment of buildings in the middle. I thought it would be dull, but then I entered the buildings and saw a dozen Rebel tanks suddenly crowd through the opening in the wall! That was some intense anti-vehicular combat in such a tight space! However, if maps will be bundled with this package, then I think that there should be a vote to discuss which ones are used, or otherwise limit choices to the "Best of" maps. As someone who played hundreds of BF1 mods and collected a list of the best, I do have some ideas for what I would like to see included.

Speaking of "Best of" maps, I love that Sereja's Umbara is included here, and that it has its own Hunt mode. Sereja has a lot of maps that come with additional "eras" that can be switched in and out. If this map can include all of those eras, then that would be an amazing convenience.

I do hope to see custom heroes in the future (and maybe remove some of them from Hunt or change them). Hell, even a new Hero Assault would be fantastic!
