Star Wars Battlefront: Tides of War (1.0)
This is the first relase of the Star Wars Battlefront: Tides of War era mod. Play as the customized sides on and of the stock maps, features include class customization, just pause the game and select class customization from the menu to change the 5th unit weapons and appearance for each side. You will have
to respawn to see those changes, in order to see them on the unit select screen you might have to hover over another unit then come back
to the custom for the player model and weapon model to have changed.
To install, simply put the TOW folder in your addon folder. You may need the Unofficial 1.3 patch to play.
To play, simply select any of the stock land map missions in the game.

Special Thanks
To all of the former and current members of the SpecOps Studio mod team, your support over the years meant so much to me and while many of
your technical contributions have yet to show up in this beta, you all have made me better at what I do, and this wouldn't have been
possible without you.

Very very noice
Thank you
I love this mod! I never could get the skin changer mods to work, but this one works like a charm. It's very user friendly and has new canon elements -- RO Death Troopers! -- which make this mod very fun to play. I love getting to choose so many different alien races for the Rebels. I never bought EA's Battlefront games, so this makes me feel like I'm not missing out on that element! My only comment would be, please add a custom hero option!!! I'd love to pick which hero and which villain could be on any given stock map at the same time.
Like the comment above i really enjoy this mods choice of how you select your characters models and load out with better models custom hero's and villains this could easily beat using the skin changer mod the fact that is more organised is really incredible instead of using the fake consoles list makes it so much more easy to use iam looking forward to whats in store in future updates :)
Thank you :)
thanks for the kind words and suggestion!!! I will definitely look into choosing the hero!!
Aweosome
I must say this is a very interesting and a well thought out Era Mod since it replaces the original sides. The "Customize Class" option works with no problems from me, I was able to spawn in as every single unit without my game crashing which is refreshing to see. I like the additions of the Zabrak, Ishi Tib & Mon Calamarian since they do not get a lot of attention in mods. I like how you added this in for the Camapign mode as well, it made the Campaign even more fun and entertaining. I hope to see a Version 2.0 released in the near future, well done ArcTroopaNate!

Thank you! Glad it didn’t crash anywhere, worked hard to make sure every weapon and skin would work on every map and mode.
The customization is real. I really enjoyed this and I can’t wait to see more! Maybe you could add new weapons to make the custom units a lot more unique. But I really believe this is my favorite mod so far.
I can’t edit anymore so I’ll add on here.
I feel like you added what this game was lacking. I love the classics but I feel like EA does a good job at customization. I think it allows me to choose how I want to play and decide what’s best for each map. So don’t get me wrong the classics are amazing but EA did a good job at that aspect. So I really feel like you changed the game for me with this mod so keep those updates coming!
Thank you!
No thank you for all your hard work!
Is Battle Over Coruscant in this version?
It is not.
You did it :)
:) Indeed
I'm so confused.
This mod is literally everything I've been looking for in mods for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 in one whole package.
I am honestly shocked as to how smooth and amazing it actually is, and that it took me this long to find it.
This is probably going to be my favourite mod so far, it is actually amazing, I can't even describe how amazing it is.
Thank you so much for making this mod.
(Again, I still can't believe how long it took me to find this...)
I really do like this, but I think it's missing some more "fun" skins from the other skin-changer mod. Namely pure-gold skins. If it can also come with BF3 skins and the cartoon Clone Wars shapes, then it would probably be at peak awesome.
Also, I'm curious about what changes were done in Hunt. I couldn't find any, although I did notice that the Jawa's gun was displaced in the UI.
Character and weapon values are changed in hunt, there will also be more weapons and skins in the next version
Too bad Willinator is no longer modding. I was excited for that Space Coruscant map.
Yeah, me too. He was a big part of our team.
When did he stop modding?
It’s been years now
Ok. How's the progress going?
Haven’t worked on it for awhile
That Space Coruscant map looks amazing. Too bad, it will never be released.
I am having trouble downloading the mod. It says that the file does not have an app associated with it. Any solutions?
Can you post/send me a screenshot of what you get when you try to downlaod??
sorry for the wait. whats the best way to send the screenshot?
You can PM me
When I download, it downloads a 7Z file that is not a folder, and adding it to the addon folder doesn't do anything. First time modding something, can you help me?
You have to unzip the 7Z file in the addon folder, which puts the TOW mod folder into the addon folder
Hello ARC, this is a very good mod. Are you going to update it?
Probably some day, yes
Can I suggest some things that will make the mod better?
