Icemember and I have been working on a massive project for awhile (over a year). Some things have gotten in the way like school, work, and life overall, so progress has been slow to say the least, but we finally wanted to get it out there to GT. Anyways, the whole premise of this project is that we wanted to take what inspired the Star Wars movies and take it to a whole new level never seen before. Take for example how the Battle of Yavin was inspired by dogfighting in World War II, or that the E-11 and DH-17 blasters were modified Sterling sub machine guns.
We took this idea and expanded it with this mod. You guys know of Icemember's All Battle Crisis map? (he is still improving the gameplay aspect of that map as well as updating some visuals, don't worry) Yeah. We wanted to take Operation Overlord and throw it into Star Wars format. Now, that is not saying that this mod is merely going to 'Star Warsify' World War II, no...we're including our own little twists too. Perhaps a Ia Drang Valley style map? Or a Battle of Inchon style? Or what about the Battle of Amiens? But we're going to have our own battles too, don't worry. I will post pictures of the different planets and operations that will be occurring as well as posting the story we've come up with (I'll release it in small sections, also will make sure continuity stays intact for the most part). We have many different custom legions as well as some well known ones, so as far as visuals go on sides? We're trying to bring quite a bit more variety and quality. Please bear in mind that what you see isn't necessarily the final product as we will be polishing them up with much better lighting (speaking of which, since Bob had to leave the team, we would like to ask for someone who can pull off better lighting than we possibly can), adding balance, maybe even new modes.
Now that you know the idea behind our mod, how about the progress? Well, here's the thing...since this mod is going to be constantly released in 'chapters', the mod as a whole has awhile away before becoming 50% complete as a full massive package in one (we're releasing in map packs by the way), since this will probably be a few years worth of an undertaking, BUT I can tell you at least which individual chapters are at least at what percentage, and that's what we're going to base our percentages off of - the individual chapters. Here's percentages of each individual chapters (also 'on the side' maps that still link with the mod in terms of story...story which I have been working on for quite sometime with Icemember). There are going to be at least 2-3 enemy factions and 2-3 allied factions, so you will likely not see much of the CIS, but there will be at least one or two maps where they fight the new enemy, I guarantee that.
Basic story:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Chapter 1 - Operation: Republic Ghost (7 maps): 69%
Chapter 2 (Name to Be Decided) (Number of Maps Undecided): No Progress Yet
Chapter 3 (name to be decided) (Number of Maps Undecided): 15-20% (1 map almost complete)
"On the Side" maps
All Battle Crisis 3.0: 98%
Also, here's a small teaser for a map showing off what we've pulled off so far. Chapter 3 (you can also call it 'season 3' if you wish. Also can I get an embed, please? If it's not too much trouble): Designated Days Teaser Trailer
Here's some screenshots from Chapters 1 and 3 (some of these are old, also some from some test maps, but the top 4 are most recent. The lighting WILL be changed for better visual flow and less 'dull' feelings and looks. The gameplay will be refined as much as possible.):

These are all of varying WIP stages as well as most being test units and vehicles more than anything (which pretty much all will make it in due time anyways depending on the map we need them for, but we're just showing off different legions and troopers from both sides at the moment [I have a bit more concentrating on Republic troops, but do not worry, we will post more of the other troops soon]).Hidden/Spoiler:
Any inquiries? Send them to me or Icemember (I mainly just skin things, type up stories and ideas, and format posts, but I do some ODF work here and there too). We'll post a member list and credits list later.Icemember will likely post more details as he's been the mastermind behind some cool things as of late.
Cant wait for release!
