Which brings us back to our first question, what in the world do zombies have to do with The Force Unleashed, let alone Battlefront 2.
Nothing at all. Smug was just making an annoying request to a veteran modder.

There are enough zombie-based games out there like Left4Dead, Cold Fear or Resident Evil 4 that have got better graphics and better gameplay for a zombie game. SWBF2 is based on StarWars as you can guess and IMHO thats why its still popular.
Personally I cant imagine zombies in SW universe, and if it will be something about a secret imperial virus that can convert rebels into zombies it will be simply boring.
BTW, you cant really give SWBF2 that creepy atmosphere that we know from survival horror games, perhaps you can model dead bodies and place blood textures everywhere but most likely you wont be able to make creepy music. Still even the darkest maps with awesome atmosphere ever made for SWBF2 dont look scary for me.
Sry for being off-topic.

OK, I see that my questions has stirred up some debates.

I was simply inquiring that if it was possible to make a zombie mode, because I have played call of duty 5 Nazi zombies for about 3 hours. A simple obsession that I have gotten over. Please forgive me for any inconvience.

Hey Dom I don't want to seem like a suck-up or telling you what to do, but:

You should ALWAYS read etleast the last 5 or 6 pages of a forum to get a feel for what's happening. When I came to this Forum it was already on like. . .oh I don't know. . .11 or 13 maybe more and I read every page of it before commenting. It helps to keep from "spamming" of people who will, no doubt, get tired of explaining new things to people who are new to the Forum and say things that have absolutely no meaning to this Forum.

Once again I am not trying to be a suck-up or telling you what to do it's just a few pointers for you as I see you are relatively new to Game Toast.

But, to continue on the track, Mav I have a question:

In normal Conquest mode is StarKiller the hero for the Empire or the rebels?

@delta578: Nice speech. :P

Sometimes Starkiller is with the rebels, sometimes with the empire.

:wink: Thanks Nihillo.

Well that's should make for some interesting gameplay having StarKiller on either side. Like sometimes you will forget which side you were on. . .kill your allies and such.

Starkiller wears the costume from Soul Calibur (default costume) when he's an Alliance hero. He wears his "Sith Robes" costume when he's an Imperial hero. If you find yourself as a stormtrooper shooting a stormtrooper, perhaps you should get your eyes checked (unless of course you are a Bothan with a disguise kit, in which case proceed as you were).

short: in the wave mode you have to achive an objectiv until the timer elapses

longer: you have different objectives like in the campaign:kill all xxx then another objective like distruct or defend yyy then another one: destroy alle enmies and their boss zzz if you die once or cant achive the objective you lost the game/battle/session/whatever
