Battlefront 2 (2017)

Gotta say holy shit is this mod impressive. If you're like me and really enjoyed skirmish on Battlefront 2015, you'll feel right at home here. It's super easy to set up and has a great UI for making battles how you want. But unfortunately, there's just one massive thing missing from it that will keep me from returning and it's not the modteam's fault at all.

I never realized how crucial to these maps having air support or being able to fly around and take down other starfighters was to making the map feel alive. I don't know what DICE had up their ass against starfighters but them missing AI or overall implementation on all maps is absurd to me. Starfighters are such an important part to Star Wars and are a core component to the Battlefront gameplay loop. Damn are they missed and damn I'm disappointed that this is what DICE left for us.

Again, to the modteam, I know there's nothing you can do about Starfighter AI and what you did create is unbelievably impressive. Thank you for that
