Tides of War is an era mod that's designed to pull from the best aspects of all the battlefront games while creating a more immersive experience. This includes visual changes, like a tighter camera and custom scopes, as well as gamplay changes. Unit health has been lowered a bit and the AI are more effective with their weapons, the game is more difficult but certainly not impossible. The class system follows closely to the class system of the original battlefront, but the special class for each faction is replaced by a custom class, the player can change the weapons and appearance of the custom unit.
As of now it's on all the stock land maps on every gamemode that comes with the shipped game.

Here are some pictures showing just a few of the options for class customization.

Just load up Endor mode on Galactic Civil War conquest and start shooting!

Star Wars Battlefront: Tides of War (1.0)

This is the first relase of the Star Wars Battlefront: Tides of War era mod. Play as the customized sides on and of the stock maps, features include class customization, just pause the game and select class customization from the menu to change the 5th unit weapons and appearance for each side. You will have
to respawn to see those changes, in order to see them on the unit select screen you might have to hover over another unit then come back
to the custom for the player model and weapon model to have changed.

To install, simply put the TOW folder in your addon folder. You may need the Unofficial 1.3 patch to play.
To play, simply select any of the stock land map missions in the game.

Special Thanks

To all of the former and current members of the SpecOps Studio mod team, your support over the years meant so much to me and while many of
your technical contributions have yet to show up in this beta, you all have made me better at what I do, and this wouldn't have been
possible without you.
