Star Wars Expanded Universe mod for Serious Sam 2

I had an Idea for a mod as well, I wanted to post it up as it's own mod but... for those of you who have played Battlefront 2 already, you will find they changed quite a few things on various battlefields, for one, they removed Bespin entirely, and many of the other maps, now there is only one map per planet, which kindof sucks, but oh well,

another thing is that the battle of Geonosis is completely different, it's a much smaller map with no Laat gunships and no spire, no Techno union ships and only one AT-TE vs 2 Spider Droids and a Hailfire, also the skybox on this new map is screwed up.

therefore, I think it would be best to make a mod returning classic battlefront maps to battlefront 2, with the classic versions of the vehicles, (the new AT-ATs work differently, they only seat one, and the primary fire is the gunner's fire the secondary fire was the pilot's fire, which works fine) but the new Laat is nowhere near what it used to be, I loved the old Laat, it was something fearsome, also one should be able to just stand in the Laat and have it take off, the walls close in in the new Laat gunship so the guy might tumble around inside as the pilot maneuvers and such, but won't fall out in this way one can cram in around a dozen Troops into a single Laat rather than before,

the Laat's weakness is that two hits from a rocket launcher can bring it down, so the pilot has to be wary.

The other maps will include Bespin city, where you can get Han solo and boba fett as heroes, or perhaps chewbaca with c-3po on his back, (the initial release will prolly have just plain chewie)

there will be aditional assault maps in the manner of Mos Eisley assault entitled "Duel" maps these include an enlarged Mustafar map which has the lava lake and floating, moving platforms, as well as the classic "High Ground" area, a new map of the Bespin carbon freezing chamber/bottomless pit, where you can also fall into one of those tubes.
and finnaly, the emperor's throne room from Return of the jedi,
possible inclusions might be a new Death Star Interior assault where Ben Kenobi can Duel Darth Vader, though that would require new models

2 brand spankin new space maps, Death Star surface/trench run, and Space Endor, both feature a massive Death star and unlike normal space maps, you cannot win simply by destroying imperial ships, the imperials have the advantage in terms of a low point limit, in that they only need to destroy 2 Calimari cruisers and enough ships, but the rebels have an advantage in that they only need to destroy one thing in order to secure victory, normal space maps have 180 points limit, the more enemys you kill the more points you get, destroying parts of enemy capital ships gives much more, you can destroy parts from the outside and some you can take out from the inside, the imperials have 400 points to get, the rebels have 2000 to get, however, there is one object on the map that if destroyed, is worth 2000 points, the Death star main reactor, deep within the death star itself, the rebels must fly into the superstructure trying desprately not to crash, and destroy the main reactor and get out in time, when the main reactor is destroyed there is a time limit, the rebels have in essence already won, it doesnt matter if the imperials get to, or over their 400 goal at this point, all the time limit does is tell the reb pilots how much time they have before the entire death star explodes, deadly fire rages through the superstructure, and you have to race against it in order to survive, once the death star explodes it will send thousands of asteroid like fragments in all directions, which have to be avoided, after the time is up the day is yours.

with the death star surface/trench run its pretty much the same deal, the trench goes on for quite a distance and is your best bet because it gives you cover from the autoturrets all over the surface, the interior of the death star includes 5 gun ports for imperial gunners to man, two of which are right in front of the exhaust port, the exhaust port is such a distance away and at such an angle that it cannot be targeted from long range, however, two torpedoes from an X-wing will be able to destroy it, and a hangar for imperial pilots to leave from, the rebels on the other hand spawn in space as either X-wings or Y-wings automatically rather than as pilots and getting into their fighters, the imperials and the rebels once again have similar goals to the endor space map, however the imperial points are down to 30 or 50, the rebel points are at 1000, but the death star exhaust port is worth 1000 points, so no matter what, if they get the exhaust port, they win.

these are ideas I have and can be implemented without too much dificulty, I have another, more ambitious project called "Star Wars Battlefront 2: Clone Wars" which includes maps such as Hypori Assault, Expanded Coruscant, Seige of Muunilinst, Rescue on Hypori, Muuilinst city, Muuilinst Space, Muuilinst Tower,
Mon Calimari, Yavin Ruins, Illum with the crystal cave

Heroes include

Jedi Padawan Anakin (similar to anakin from AOTC but with the golden hand) does not have Force Choke

Jedi Knight Anakin (similar to anakin on mustafar but on the republic side and with the golden hand) does not have force choke

Obi Wan Kenobi in Clone Armour (He has the helmet but as soon as he gets hit it's knocked off, not sure if that can be scripted right tho)

some maps include multiple heroes on one side where as fewer, perhaps only one hero on the other, new units include

Quarren (laser Tridents)

Mon Calimari (very little they may spawn with the Keelkana tho)

Heavy Arc Trooper (personal quad guns)
Magnaguard Specials (electrostaff)
Arc Trooper (like standard Arc troopers but faster and with clone rifle instead of pistol)

IG Mounted trooper (prefer the use of Swoops)

new vehicles,

Republic Swoop, (lances)

CIS Swoop (lances)

Durge Swoop (super lance) can only be used by Durge

Mon Calimari keelkana (energy lance)

Republic Artillery, (much like the techno union ships, CIS target)

essentually this brings the battles in the cartoon series, Clone Wars into the Battlefront game, new models need to be made, and I may even go as far as changing the overall graphics to make it cell shaded and REALLY look like it's the Cartoon, though two versions might be better for people, Cell shaded and non Cell Shaded.
