With EA DICE‘s Star Wars Battlefront II continuing to deliver content and improvements to the game, the Battlefront series is close to returning to the epic and intense gameplay from the past. While the original Battlefront II released all the way back in 2005, there are still communities of modders supporting the game with free mod packs and expansions. If you’re looking to jump back into the nostalgic action, here are some of the best mods for Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) that are currently available to download and play.

1) Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack

The Conversion Pack is a must-have for all players, and for many of the other mods on this list, as it provides improved units and modes, while porting the maps from Star Wars: Battlefront (2004) and bringing the Knights of the Old Republic era to Battlefront II. While you have to install the v1.3 file before adding v2.0 and v2.2 to your mod folder, the instructions are easy to follow and the content of each of the updates to the Conversion Pack are listed on the site.

2) Mass Effect: Unification

Entering another sci-fi game, Mass Effect: Unification brings the races, weapons and locations of the Mass Effect series to Battlefront II in stunning fidelity. Play on maps inspired by the games, such as Virmire, Noveria, and Eden Prime, with over 25 playable units and 9 playable heroes from the series. With new voices and soundtracks on top of a modified game menu and HUD, this mod is a great way to refresh the look and sound of the game for Mass Effect fans.

3) Star Wars Battlefront III Legacy

This mod is based on the cancelled Star Wars Battlefront III project and uses assets from those files, in an attempt to provide the public with the sequel that never released. The Legacy mod adds a whole host of maps, units, weapons, eras, animations, and more, with the inclusion of ground-to-space combat on several huge maps. With the amount of quality work that went into the mod, it is suggested that you have a high-end PC to handle the level of detail and sheer size of the battles within.

4) Ultimate Battlefront: The Clone Wars

Ultimate Battlefront: The Clone Wars is one of the best ways to experience the scale of the Clone Wars in Battlefront II.

Also, new characters and units are added from The Clone Wars animated series, with enemy heroes having their own AI across a variety of game modes. The visuals also get an upgrade, as new lasers and effects make the action more immersive. If you are a fan of the Clone Wars, you need to check this mod out.
