Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack

Mod review

This Mod definably has a lot of content. however this is a doulbe edged Swrod. On the postive note, you get a lot more units and maps. If your bored of the regular version of SWBF2 then this might be what you are looking for. kotor mod era is probaly the best done part of this mod. Skins for that era are well done as well as the classes thmeselves for sith and republic sides.

Now the negitive note, This is one huge file. Its takes up 3-4 gigs of memory and you need to change your settings just so certian maps dont crash. Some of these maps are not as great as some people claim it to be. There are deffinably bugs here and there even if you do download the 2.2 patch. The units are...well look at it this way, sure there are more units but some of them are lazied down reskins of other characters. There is almost no variaty in special class weapns other than a slower cheaper version of pistols. Some of these character models are out dated by now and dont look very good. The hero characters...a lot of time are lazy reskins just thrown in. At first it seems like all the content makes up for it, but in the long run you will long for something more.

Installing can be a pain if you have a laptop or a less than decent computer. So my verdict is that there are far too many negatives than positves. So unless your a really big Battlefront fan, give it a try. However if you download this expecting for most thing to be perfect, then your time is best spent downloading "The ultimate clone Wars Mod" or Marvel4's BF1 conversion mappack which offers the most up to date BF1 maps with extra enviroment features and is 5xtimes smaller and easier on your computer.

2016 Graphics Mod

Mod review

From what I've seen, it does look better on the stock maps, which is the whole point. There are some weaknesses, though; the three problems I've seen:
1) F11 doesn't seem to work consistently after the startup screen comes up. It tends to "flicker" to the different mode, but often remains the same as it was after you press the key. So, changing from modded to stock and back is fairly hit and miss -- it can be done, but one keystroke generally doesn't do it.
2) No documentation, which leaves me concerned about whether I should have changed any of the settings in the game, to help or avoid conflicts with this mod.
3) Kamino in the Battlefront Conversion Pack (which is one of the most commonly installed map packs) is impossibly bright inside the building. I'm not sure how this could be easily resolved without messing up the other maps, but it's worth mentioning.

If these (mainly 1 and 2) could be resolved I'd have no trouble giving it a higher rating.
