BATTLEFRONT EXTREME 2.2 FINAL This is the the final release of Battlefront Extreme. To install it, you must have installed Conversion Pack 1.9.1 and / or Unofficial Patch 1.3. Although it should not interfere with any older versions of BFX, I suggest that you uninstall them before installing this version, to avoid any potential problems. Most of the changes: - Instead of overwriting the game's normal modes, BFX is available as two separate eras - BFX CW and BFX GCW. - Multiple modes. BFX Conquest, BFX Hero Assault, BFX Hero CTF, BFX Space Assault, BFX Space CTF. (No BFX CTF due to compatibility issues.) - Online compatible. BFX works online now. - German language support, and every other language is localized in English. - Greatly reduced file size. The BFX 1.0 download weighed in at a hefty 379MB. This version is about 1/3 the size. Very little content has been cut, and a lot has been added. The main file size decreases are a result of hugely overhauling the internal structure of the mod, and removing unused files. - Localizations. All units have proper names, as do the weapons. - Awards have been restored. NOTE: Not the award weapons, just the ability to earn awards. - Clone Wars mode is available on Hoth and Endor, and Galactic Civil War mode is available on Geonosis. - The AI counts and reinforcements have been increased on maps according to their size. Hoth and Kashyyyk, for example, have about a hundred units on the field at any given time, and have much more reinforcements. - Many new weapon models. New grenades, new rifles, new lightsaber hilts, etc. - All weapons and lasers do more damage, and lasers travel faster. - Higher-resolution skins. One example: if you've played BFX 1.0, go play Utapau CW in this version and notice the difference in the clones. - Most weapons have visible recoil now, and weapons with ammo can also overheat after prolonged firing. - The "Overheated!" message has been changed to "Energy Depleted!" so it doesn't look out of place on certain weapons. - The bug that caused firing a buff to lock up all your weapons is gone. - The AT-ST bug is gone. - A few new grenade effects. Also, the grenades now have a small blinking light instead of glowing. - Force push, force pull, melee attacks, and grenades can be charged for greater damage or area, and force powers have a charge-up effect. - A few force powers have new effects. - Every Jedi / Sith hero except Pilot Luke has four force powers. (Pilot Luke has Force Push and Pull, and 2 proton grenades) - Non-Jedi heroes are now much more powerful. - Jetpacks last much longer, but take a fair bit of time to recharge. - New jetpack effects, that actually look like fire. (Or plasma, depending on the unit.) - Most vehicle skins have been modified for increased contrast, sharpness, and movie-accurate colors. - Several starfighters have shielding. - Starfighters are about 20% faster. - Starfighter missiles do more damage, it was weird to watch a starfighter take a hit from a full clip of missiles and survive. They also have a nice trail effect. - Stealth blinks a lot less often, and lasts for 20 seconds before running out (assuming your stamina is full). - Flamethrowers are now secondary weapons. Note: You have to hold down the secondary fire button to fire the flamethrower, you can't just press it. - Jango Fett and the ARC Captain have dual pistols. - New blaster impact effect. Looks pretty good. - Vehicle missiles now cost ammo. Use a fusioncutter to replenish your vehicle's missiles. - Lightsaber combos have been modified so that the hero deflects while attacking. Also, deflect drains on a per-shot basis now, as opposed to draining energy over time. Blue lightsabers are a little darker in color, too. - Stamina has been changed so that it restores a good deal less quickly, and is consumed at a lower rate, so you can sprint for longer. - Droids run a little slower than in BFX 1.0, for balancing purposes. - The Support class (8 points) has been replaced with the Assault class. It's a stronger version of the standard soldier, with more health, a rifle instead of a carbine, a commando pistol instead of a standard one, and more grenades. - The orbital strike ability has been removed from the binoculars. It was unbalanced, not to mention quite abnormal on indoor maps. A few recon units have orbital strike beacons that can be placed like a timebomb. - Many units have been modified or added - the Novatrooper, the Rebel Commando, the Covert Ops trooper, the Twilek Spy, etc. Enjoy! - ARC_Commander Known Issues: - Kit Fisto has been removed. The old skin looked very unprofessional, and the Conversion Pack model will not be released. - Boba and Jango Fett's flamethrower animation will stop playing after firing the flamethrower for a little while. - Repeated use of the orbital strike can crash your game, but this doesn't always happen. There is a bug in the game itself that causes this, which is probably why an orbital strike was omitted from the original SWBF2, yet appeared in both SWBF1 and Renegade Squadron. Long story short, I can't fix it. - You have to hold down the secondary fire button to fire the flamethrower, you can't just press it. It's either this or no animation. - Stealth has no HUD icon. - Dual pistols don't have a muzzle flash.
