I am sick and tired of new EA BF2 overtaking every single OG BF2 page on google.

I am sick and tired that I can't look for issues with modding anymore using google as a search bar.

I am sick and tired how this community is basically dead.

I am sick and tired how basically three-four groups of modders are working to the exact same project but with different name.

I am sick and tired of the way munging sucks and always breaks for no reason.

I am sick and tired of the fact I can't delete a superfluous file from my lvl files without them crashing.

And above all, I think I am very sick and tired of working alone to a project that barely has a point now.

Modding for SWBF1/2 has always been for the satisfaction of the modder.  Make happiness where you can.  This is a 15+ year old game.

[Robobermann]

It makes me sad to hear that. I should have started modding this game years ago, but here I am now. Modding this game has become my favorite thing to do in my free time because I always wanted make things the way I wanted them to be since I was a kid.

Gametoast is where most of the SWBF2 modding activity is at.  We help here where we can.  i2Bros is being overly dramatic.

The above issues are prevalent in any game that is almost 15 years old.  Especially when said game has a "reboot" with the exact same name and is part of one of the most popular franchises in history.
If you aren't enjoying it anymore, that's a sign you need to take a break or move on to a new project/game.  We are fortunate to even have the opportunity to mod this game and keep it alive (try modding SWBF2015/2017 at the degree we can, it's not going to happen).  It's all about having fun 

[Norwood]

Just my 10 cents to add to this rant, but I personally find it extremely annoying that searching for anything about the original games is almost impossible with the two new identically named games.

[411Remnant]

you could just type in star wars battlefront, the good one, not the trash one.

Sorry I went trough a bad week. I solved my issue, but I still decided to take a pause. Thanks for replying and sorry for my rant again.

I love this!

You can mitigate most of the modern game results by adding commands like -EA -DICE -2017 -2015 in your searches.

[Red04SWBF]

Anyway, I think if you search for "Star Wars Battlefront" or "Star Wars Battlefront II" modern ones appear (at least in my search engine). Uselessly, the "true ones" appear unless you specify the release year of both.

What a good times before EA got into Star Wars universe...
