Call Of Duty 4, Meet Star Wars

Frankly, i'm unimpressed. New skins, a new map and a bunch of blasters.

If they were to add some unique game styles, a couple new classes (wookie please!) and some weapons / abilities that are more unique, *then* it would be a cool mod.

I doubt this mod really is that good. But no matter what, I still want to try it out.

Queue the Lucas lawyers in 3..2..1

Its sad, really, because this looks terrific, but I don't understand why people even begin making mods using IP that are as established and well defended as Star Wars is.

FlyveHest

Stormtroopers aren't that organised or skilled marksmen. HAX!

This is an awesome mod, combines my two favourite things, first person shooters and star wars. ( I know there has been star wars fps' in the past but im talking about good fps'.)

Looks absolutely stunning! Great, now I have to get COD4 on PC as well... :P

grobo - with a hint of salt

Didn't know laser weapons uses magazines ;p

okay,i think its time for LucasArts to tell us whats really going on with Star Wars Battlefront 3(or uncancel it if thats the case),because after seeing this,i really want it to come out(and no,i don't want SWBF4 first)

metallicorphan

@Nasum: as long as there are no speaking roles around, yes, quite unfair for the other guys

Cloud_Hiro

@hot_heart: Stormtroopers are very well trained and excellent marksmen...until they put the helmet on, then their sight is obscured, too hot and uncomfortable = viewed as inept...

either that...or due to Luke being Vaders Son...and Vader did kill for a lot less than shooting at his son

Todge

I'm not a big Star Wars fan but that looks awesome! I wish it was for consoles and not the PC.

davebdavenky

isnt this kind of unfair with the stormtrooper aim and all ?

@hot_heart: actualy, they are. officaly, they can shoot through the hole of a cherrio from a mile away. Just they suffer from what is dubbed "The Stormtrooper effect". basicly, all the years of combat training is thrown out the window when fighting main characters. So as long as they are on the same side as the heroes or the heroes are no where in sight, you'd be royaly screwed!

Cloud_Hiro

This looks so great, when's it coming out ?

televizor

I think that looks quite good! I'd love a Star Wars FPS with the mechanics of CoD4. Lets hope if Lucasfilm do bring the might of their Sith Lawyers upon these guys, they will then at least nick their idea and make a full game of it.

looks pretty cool i guess, although it seems to be completely cosmetic/aural as far as altering the game goes.

Those lasers seem totally harmless.

@[tvtropes.org] Yup! =p

@Ursus-Veritas: I would have to agree...simply playing to the sound of john williams music makes it that much more exciting to me. Add in laser sound effects and skin changes? Sick! Although people don't think it's much, I think it's a valiant effor.

@song: play Battlefront I & II then, buddy

@davebdavenky:

Radz

@Tracid: Well in the battlefront games they do.

@torrseph: Are you trying to flamebait the Dark Forces and Republic Commando fans or something?! They'll eat you alive.

Showmeyomoves!

"The package is aboard a luxury desert cruiser, Tatooine registration #3221-ADPM. There is a crime boss, a dangerous mercenary and a small security detail on board."

"Rules of engagement, sir?"

"Crew expendable. And may the Force be with you."

Unveliable is the first word that came to my mind when I think that all this work was made by fans and not by official developers. Have in mind that people.

Aw, this actually makes me wish I had Cod4 on the PC. Not that I'm a particular fan of Star Wars, it just looks darn fine.

MrHibbert

Looks a lot like First Strike for 2142. [www.fsmod.com]

JasenJ1

IW should... err no... NEEDS team up with Lucas Arts to make an official Star Wars shooter.

But who wants to bet folks will just spam thermal detonators?

I approve.

Now gimme.

@FlyveHest: It is a mod, nothing that will be brougth down, cause that would mean to attack fans.

I am no PC Guy but what wonders me much more is if there is an editor for Call of Duty 4 and when not if they are allowed to mod the code that way.

I just hope there is a Hoth map where the rebels wear those bright orange flight suits to make up for the camo advantage they have on Tattoine.

this just makes me long even more for the perfect dark rerelease on xbla. goty for me (unless scribblenauts comes out here)

wintersault

@fELIXADER: Batteries. Lasers don't just generate themselves.

I wonder what the laser shotgun looks like.

Orchestral music makes anything more dramatic. :)

David Wallin

...why are all the guns using the sound effect from an AT-ST?

That's awesome. Makes me wish I could get to grips with using a keyboard and mouse for shooters so I could enjoy all the stuff I miss out on for the PC!!

Why is it with any Star Wars mod for another game that all of the characters look 100% squeaky clean? Do they never get dirty?

Teancum

@Teancum:
they wash

@Northernsky: Because they're THAT powerful.

Seriously though, a little bit of variety in the sound effects and I could buy this, twice.

haha thats pretty sick
im not much of a starwars fan but ill download this for sure
nj to whoever made this

smitty5569

note to Microsoft: make mods available for Xbox!!

0tak1n9

the wall hugging on this map looks pretty good actually

kitsuneconundrum

Looks legit, but really..

No storm trooper is even close to that accurate. Change their accurate by 80% and we'll have canonical Star Wars

@Enyzam: perhaps it's for the best. once you get accustomed to aiming with a mouse, everything else just no longer measures up. ;)

curly haired boy

if they released a first person star wars game with the cod4 engine id buy it...we are overdue a new fps star wars game anyway. republic commando 2 :D

My hat's off to these guys...there was a Star Wars mod for Battlefield 1942 and I remember even Xplay gave it a mention but when I tried it, it was buggy and near unplayable. This looks really clean cut and almost professional. I'd almost buy COD4 for PC for this, and I hated COD4.

NoHoldsBarred

Already looks better than any Star Wars FPS ever made.

Yeah I said it.

That game your thinking of right now sucks if you go back and play through it again.

@Scotsdale: But look at those blast points; only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

Why on earth do they have an image of the gun you're using on the right?! And with a gray background to boot. Ugly.

Looks amazing, I wish I could get this on 360. Keep up the great work.

Matthew Kenneth Sawyer

@puffa469: Republic Commando? Great singleplayer. Never tried much multiplayer.

@metallicorphan: You don't want to see SWBF4 before SWBF3?

Me neither.

Or maybe I just read that comment wrong.

@BlueBeard: Major nerd points here, but they are technically gas cartridges. ;-p

Ben Hawkins

holy canolli... i want this

@Phokal: Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed Republic Cojmmando.

it looks great! almost like a live action game, i wonder if they made any more levels.

LucasArts should take some notes

juandotcom

@'360 Cabinboy (Corsair): Surely, you're joking. But if you're not... Those are there to show what gun it is and I'm sure they won't be in-game. All you'd see would be be everything to the left of said image and a HUD of some sort I would guess.

@BlueBeard:
Shoop da whoop sized lazar. durr.

The level really really needs some color!!

MountainCool

What? No E-11 blaster rifle?

SmiteMeister

I never knew blasters had magazines. Huh.
You learn something new everyday.

Also, Stormtroopers actually aiming? I call shenanigans.

Republic Commando, while enjoyable, lacked in the distinct Star Wars flavor. It didn't even favor the prequels as much as it could have.

FigNewton

looks pretty bland to me...

What do you know. Stormtroopers can hit things with those blasters after all.

@Frank:

I get goosebumps thinking about how awesome it would be to have Rebel Commandos storming a starcruiser, grabbing an Imperial dignitary or officer of some sort, and then escaping into space out the airlock. Mile-High Club....IIIIIIIN.....SPAAAAACE......

jcb231

@puffa469:

Dude, Dark Forces was and is awesome. I played it less than six months ago.

jcb231

This is awesome.

Lucasarts and Infinity Ward really need to get together and make a game like this. The title could be "Let's Make a Billion Dollars" (aka Star Wars Modern Warfare).

I've been hoping for a non-Jedi Star Wars FPS ever since Dark Forces.....and we've never really gotten one. Every sequel/spin-off to that game involved lightsabers and force powers. And while those are fun, they are not the same sort of game. A straight-up, Jedi-less shooter on today's consoles with online multiplayer would be great.

Battlefront was cool, but even that was more class-based and vehicle oriented. Republic Commando attempted to do a straight-shooter, but that game had too many flaws for its own good. It was okay, not great. Too few weapons, repetitive levels, etc.

There's a real gap in the Star Wars game lineup and an FPS in the Call of Duty mold could fill it wonderfully. I could see a game with two campaigns....one for the Empire, one for the Rebels. Then a selection of multiplayer maps and gametypes scattered across different planets. No vehicles, no force powers, no lightsabers.....just soldiers fighting it out.

jcb231

@indyit:

To me, that's what makes it cool. COD4 nailed the formula pretty well as far as console shooters go. No need to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes game developers lose sight of that. I bet if Lucasarts came out with another FPS they would try to do their own engine or design some new interface instead of just licensing what works.

COD4's system would work very well for a Star Wars game.

The other game system I'd like to see get a Star Wars makeover? Soulcalibur 4. Nobody could complain about unbalanced Star Wars characters if the whole game was Jedi/Sith action. I think they should just straight-up license that game....Soulcalibur: Star Wars Edition by Namco/Lucasarts would be a day one purchase for me, just like Call of Duty: Star Wars by Infinity Ward/Lucasarts.

jcb231

Don't you just hate it when your blaster rifle battery pack life meter jumps to 3 bars when you don't use it for a while but then immediately goes to zero bars and starts flashing after 2 trigger pulls?

Adhominem

Just one more for the sheer awsomeness of it. :3

Mupp

@puffa469: Man, Jedi Outcast was so great. I had so much fun on that when I was 12 years old

Sorry to say, but this aint got squat on Galactic qonquest for Battlefield 1942.

Mupp

They need stuff like this for consoles

@David Wallin: Not just orchestral music. John Williams' symphonic scores.

@jcb231: I think Republic Commando was a great game for the original Xbox. Sure it had its flaws, but a next-gen Republic Commando (Maybe Imperial Commando) would be amazing.

crd22

Nice mod.

Thut

Eh, looks kinda cool. I bet it will look much better as they work on it some more.

that looked pretty cool.. i hope that after modern warfare 3.. iw goes into the future. but instead of the gears of war/killzone gritty future.. itd be cool to see lasers and fantasy stuff more simliar to halo or star wars.. i think a halo with cod mechanics would do wonders.

okay, where's the jedi to tear those codfags a new asshole?

Youthinized

@Youthinized: Because jedi are boring. :p

pigsdofly

@shouryuuken: Unless you want singleplayer too, battlefield 2142 is what you are looking for.

Call of duty type gameplay, and unlock as you play weapons. Only battlefield has vehicles and CoD doesn't.

Armagetiton

@BigBooBuddy: Blasters have cartridges (paks).

"The E-11's plasma gas cartridges allowed for over 500 shots[1], while the power cells lasted for about 100 shots, depending on the setting.[1]" - [starwars.wikia.com]

I don't get why everyone thinks otherwise. :(

Looks ok, but the weapons shoot way too straight. They are practically the same laser gun for each side. This also reminds me how funny COD 4's running animations look sped up for multiplayer use. Silly people using sped up mocap.

TickMan

I didn't realize blasters had a manual reload function.

iFOREIGNi

@Hasseo: That IS call of duty, and it's pretty pathetic if all it takes to completely change your opinion of the game is a paint job.

Not to belittle those who created this mod because they did an awesome job reskining/retextureing the game.

AOClaus

Looks way more interesting to me than *yawn* call of duty does

Looks very slick and professional but there really isn't a great deal different than what you can do in MW. Battlefront's appeal was the combined arms aspect along with classes.

Cellsong

Um, why do you reload a laser gun with a bullet clip?

UAV recon standing by?!

ThePhantomnaut

cease and desist imminent.

@Armagetiton: Call of Duty: World at War has tanks. Last time I checked, tanks were considered vehicles.

Travis Whitworth

Wowy wow wow wow!

This settles it, its time to upgrade my machine.

I thought I was content with Jedi Knights...but damnit this looks great!

@iFOREIGNi: well, it would have to be the energy or cell the blaster uses as ammo, cant just pull stuff from thin air and fire it.

@TickMan: well to be honest, its a laser gun, lasers dont exactly have a whole lot of spread.
and about the guns for each side couold be really boring if they have very minor variety, but they might have more.

awesome looking mod. bad trailer. blasters look iffy. my two cents.

jinxman

The stormtrooper side should come with accuracy penalties. To make it more movie-like.

i like the idea but this doesn't have much personality TBO

@iFOREIGNi: Blasters use ammunition in the form of gas cartridges, it's just not real practical to show people reloading in the movies.

Kogenta

@Ursus-Veritas: Anything would be preferable to the 10+ years of bag-o-shyte 3rd party cash-in's they have been churning out since X-Wing, Tie Fighter and Dark Forces.

Wonder how long before Lucas-lawfirm steps in b4 ordering a cease/gag order or halt this mod?
Hope not...this is awesome

Ray Logan

@Mupp: It's definitely got a lot more stuff put into it, but the models and the textures look way better on this COD4 mod.

@TheFamous1:
Duh - they're energy packs not magazines! Completely different, man, completely different...

Blah8

@Travis Whitworth:
Only problem with that is that those are 2 entierly different games made by 2 entierly different companies. Only thing they have in common is the name.

Linkitch

@Mupp:
But I figure the guys who make a mod for COD4 actually like the game. I think it's an awesome game to place a StarWars mod on, since the gameplay really fits the hectic battles.

Linkitch

@'360 Cabinboy (Corsair):
there was(rumoured) concept art for SWBF4 last week on here
