While some players mock Star Wars: Battlefront 2, others just want to have fun – and create mods that sometimes take on absurd dimensions. Are they going too far?
Patch 1.2 is in the starting blocks for Star Wars Battlefront 2 and brings a few new features: In addition to the temporary mode “Jetpack Cargo“, there are a few other details:
- Jetpack Cargo: It will be a Capture the Flag mode where two teams of eight players each can compete against each other. However, this mode will only be temporarily available.
- Arcade Mode: It will be revised before the patch, including an AI update.
- Balancing: Both the balancing of the heroes and the levels should become more balanced.
- Additionally: Updated milestones and general improvements.
Many seem to find these updates not enough. More exciting updates are needed! And for this, some modders dig deep into their trick bag.
To Infinity …!
Creative excesses of this kind are already known from mods like “Technician Matt” and the pink Vader. Now Han Solo has been artistically modded into “Toy Story’s” Buzz Lightyear. At least technically a flawless mod that is sure to bring a smile to some.
Thomas the Tank Engine has also now been integrated into Battlefront 2. But what is a fun pastime for some and they like to adorn themselves with these skins, others are not so enthusiastic.
The Two Sides of the Coin
“It’s very, very sad that the game has now become like this,” sighs a fan on Reddit. “No meaningful updates from the developers, instead a bunch of people presenting the craziest mods they could think of during this content drought of an unfinished, broken game. Very sad. So are Star Wars games going down this path? With EA?” At least EA is not making a fuss about it.
Some also agree with EA CFO Blake Jorgensen, who expressed concerns in a past conference call that mods could destroy immersion.
Which side are you on? Do you welcome such funny mods or can you no longer stand them?
