Gameplay - Lots and lots of fun, the units are just awesome to play, weapons are pretty good for the most part. Not a lot of variety amongst the commandos but that's to be expected, there isn't that much. Maybe you could add the wookie bowcaster or something to the first unlockable unit, because otherwise he has the same primary weapons as the awesome 6th commando. But otherwise, pretty darn cool. CIS we're actually not horrible to play as either, the Trandoshan is awesome and the SBD is pretty good too.

Balance - Here's where issues begin to show, I felt that if I played as the Republic I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of CIS reinforcements and despite my best efforts I just ran out of troops before they did. I agree that this makes it more challenging, but I think you could close the gap between the Republics reinforcements and the CIS' and make some changes to the CIS side. While the Super Battle Droid is a powerful unit and strong, I'm almost willing to say it should have a little more shielding, it's supposed to be menacing and I still feel like if I just strafe and hide behind objects I can kill it pretty quickly. It might work better if it took a little bit more to destroy one! Another addition I really think you should make to the CIS is a Magnaguard with a lightning staff or whatever. In the game Republic Commando those things were insane and could tear through your whole squad, it would really help cut through all those shielded commando's and make it not so important to have huge CIS reinforcement numbers. Another last minute unit idea I had was you could give a trandoshan some random sword or knife model you find hanging around online and give them Aayla Secura's attack and it would be like the Trando's in RC that run at you for melee attacks; just an idea. I just found it kind of hard to win as the CIS unless I just wore down the Republics reinforcements. Both sides should be able to dominate one another in the hands of a good player!

Appearances: Everything from the earlier builds is cleared up, the weapon models for the Commandos are FANTASTIC. I really think they look nice. Same with the skins on some of the CIS units. One suggestion I have for the Commandos is cleaning up the skins a bit, maybe organizing the colours a bit so they look painted on instead of just splotches. I do like the skins you have now, but they have the potential to be very very nice and I think you can do it! Another cool thing would be to have the Night Ops commandos on levels like Polis Massa and Naboo. Something like this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HNeKsuJPsPs/T ... hArmor.jpg

It'd just provide a cool contrast instead of playing as the same 6 skins every single map, but I do really like what you've done with the skins so far.

Issues - As I mentioned in my PM earlier, somehow my game has been turned into German and I have no idea how to fix that, any help would be appreciated!

Additionally there are issues with the mod on Marvel4's maps, some of the levels the mod isn't even on the selection list, and the others one you can start, choose a side, but there's no spawn points and the levels look all black. Somethign to look into!

For the most part though this mod is looking pretty Diet Dr. Pepper awesome, I love playing it and the additions you've made definitely make the game a little more fun! It has the potential to be a REALLY great mod, just by making some more additions and/or edits like the ones I mentioned above would make it stand out!

Good luck man, and get back to me! Thanks for letting me help you out with these Beta's!

2. The launcher was missing localizations
3. Everything was in German, I have the english vwersion of the game and everything was localized in German, I can do english localiztions for you if you want?
4. The Super Battle Droid is too slow, perhaps he should have less health and be faster, I like that he is slow but it took me about five minutes to walk from one platform to another on Kamino.
5. The CIS does not have a hero but the Republic does? Perhaps Sun Fac could be the CIS Hero
6. The CIS has 7 or 8 units and the Republic has only six, maybe the Republic can also have a Wookiee Warrior as a class, or a regular Clone Trooper as a class. There should be an even number of units and heroes on each side.
7. Maybe you can add AI Heroes, using Archers hero support script
8. The CIS Sniper rifle had waaaay too much cool down time, make it do more damage and take less time to cool down.
9. The Republic engineer was the most Overpowered class I've ever seen! Just lower his Health and Ammo packs to 5 instead of infinity. :O
10. The Geonosian Elite should be waaaaay stronger, he should have a better gun (perhaps you can create a new effect for it) and he should also have more health and be able to fly much longer in the air.
11. The regular geonosian should have a force pike isntead of a sonic blaster if you want him to be like RC.

Otherwise, much better than the first beta, all the icons are there, as well as localizations, good job!
