Galactic Warfare Brings Star Wars To CoD Universe

​

You got some Star Wars in my Modern Warfare ...

Let's be honest about something: Fan mods sometimes result in something that's even more amazing than the original game (remember <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.258592-Blizzard-Gives-Thumbs-Up-to-World-of-StarCraft-Mod>World of StarCraft?). Modern Warfare fans look like they're in for a pretty epic treat, as the final build of a new mod that brings the game into the Star Wars universe has just been released.

The mod is created by Black Monkeys, and reportedly took over two years to finalize. The actual game footage starts appearing about 1:20 into the trailer, and it looks pretty stunning. There's a wide variety of character types (basically, different types of soldiers in both the Empire and the Rebellion) and environments on display (including Mos Eisley, Cloud City, and what appears to be the interior of the Death Star), and they all appear pretty detailed.

I never played Modern Warfare on the PC, but this seems like a pretty great reason to start. Honestly, this seems like it's about as close to a next-gen version of Star Wars: Battlefront as players are going to get, and that's meant as nothing but a compliment. You can download the mod at either link below.

and you just had to post this AFTER steam had COD4 50% off.... -_-

I might just have to sum up the money for this now...i just got battlefront II but this definitely interests me with all the work it looks like they put in

Great...just wish there were servers I could join that gave me a ping less than 300.

Well now I actually want to buy a COD game.

I was thinking the same damn thing. This almost makes me want to consider buying this game potentially... if it's on sale... and I have nothing better to do.

Man i wish this was a real game. I'm not trying to put down modders, i'm just saying Lucas Arts should of been spending their time coming up with cool stuff like this instead of that dumb clone wars cartoon.

I have a very good question:

Why is there no official Star Wars game like this? Call of Duty style gameplay fits perfectly with Star Wars. Lucas Arts, get on this.

I've got to hand it to this mod team, they've done a great job. Even though I don't have a PC that can run anything like Modern Warfare, this mod looks great and will probably be a lot of fun. I predict that this will go down in history like Counterstrike and Desert Combat as one of those mods that sees play for years and years.

I feel a disturbance in my desire to go buy COD.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

I want BATTLEFRONT III to be made! bouhouhouh!!!!!


well, modders will always amaze us !

Looks interesting but would much rather see a mod for Battlefield. Closer to Battlefront 3 y'know?

Because we got Battlefront and that's a damn good enough FPS.

Holy feth (or should that be holy bantha? Look I don't know anything about Star Wars >_>)!

That looks amazing, I seriously wish I had COD4 on the PC just for this!

 

[Infernai]

Double post, sorry.

As far as I'm concerned, that new CGI series is Non-canon. It has some slightly good or interesting aspects (Like how it went more indepth with the clone troopers in some episodes) But....it mis-stepped so hard on everything else that it literally broke it's foot off. Plus, need we forget we had an infinitely more superior clone wars cartoon made some years ago?


Dear lucasarts..drop the new CG one and declare it non-canon, rerelease a HD version of this clone wars series and then make Battlefront 3. And possibly a new Jedi Knight game.

The problem is Lucas himself. The man was always more interested in marketing Star Wars toys than in doing something with the IP. His target audience is pretty much small children, as evidenced by the prequels and the CGI cartoon. Also, he despises all the books and continuity that has sprung up around Star Wars. Sure, he created the universe, but I can't help but feel that the way he percieves what he created and how everyone else percieves it is fundamentally different.

Lucas Arts will not do anything good with Star Wars. I was honestly saddened a while back when Lucas Arts stated that they are cutting down on third party development. This means no more good SW games. LA's SW games are movie/cartoon tie-ins of inferior quality. The best SW media (after the original trilogy) is almost always done by people outside Lucas Arts (a few exceptions, but the key word here is "few")...

Aw. For a moment I had the illusion that this game mod was produced by actual black monkeys...

And while this is definitely an awesome mod, it isn't nearly as awesome considering it was made by Man.

O. M. F. G!!!!!!!!!!!!

Want this so bad! but my Laptop wouldn't be able to handle it! D:

Sometimes i wish i had a decent enough PC/Laptop...*sigh*

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Just wondering has anyone actually played this mod yet or is it only me? I played the beta version last week which due to some server messages I assume is the final version. Here is the IP to the server I played it on. 66.225.232.198:28930(server won't reply to let me double check but I am certain it was this one).

 

[silverbullet1989]

argument for modding tools -_- curse current games and their locked down files

 

[GeorgW]

I actually have an epic day planned today of me and a friend playing battlefront. Ive dug out my old PS2 and everything. If this mod does well, then can we get battlefront 3?? Please?
