New Games
Moderator: High Command
Freelancer SW mod kicked arse and the BF1942 one was decent. But Battlefront will rock 1942 mod's world, and there are no new flight sims coming out, so Freelancer SW mod is a decent idea.

Well,
as the ex-lead of the IDMR (who's mission was [amongst others] to overview mods and addons to non-sw games), I feel I need to shed some light..
From my point of understanding, there were no plans of adding non-LA games to the (former) GE.
Even mods where only planned to be added after my review and consideration/input. This includes stuff like the really good looking UT2003 Star Wars mod.
About CS: Why are people still playing it? There are games of that kind that are TONS better AND they aren't swamped with 13-15 year old "1337 h4><0Rz" and cheaters.
About Splatters comment towards mods:
In my personal opinion, there ARE a nice number of good mods, most of them for newer first-person-shooters - not only focussing on SW mods here. Sadly that genre seems to be the best selling at the moment and game creators only seem to care for the big buck, at the moment. So all we can hope for is people who create good mods. I am still waiting for a really good, open air/space simulation engine. As soon as I find one, I will personally get people who have the skills and the time (very important!! You don't know how many people start a mod and then never do anything, or release a Beta of it and that was it....) and hope to organize an awesome Star Wars mod. But only time will tell if it will ever happen.
I just hope that LA creates another good game, but looking at how they and Sony forced out a completely bug-ridden Betatest and SOLD it to people, I *seriously* doubt we'll ever see another good Star Wars game.
The only way of getting a good (non-mod) Star Wars game, would be if people other than major US game companies would do it. (Just look at the really good games nowadays. They all come from Europe, or even from Russia, while most US companies release crap like another "the Sims" rebrew at new price...BOO to EA)
But with LAs prices for licenses, nobody can afford to do it, other than said big US companies. :/
