Free Star Wars: Battlefront II mod
Battlefront: Halation is a free game mod for Star Wars: Battlefront II that adds a Halo campaign and multiplayer content. There are four new factions, each with different classes and skins. You’ll also find new maps that relate to the Halo universe.
In some ways, Battlefront: Halation also acts as an overhaul of Battlefront II. It adds new sound and visual elements while there are improvements in some gameplay mechanics. If you prefer to retain games that use the ‘force’, you can try games like Star Wars Empire at War, Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Wars Battlefront I.
Bringing Halo to the Star Wars universe

The campaign focuses on the UNSC vs The Covenant story, while multiplayer introduces the Red Spartans vs Blue Spartans mode. It’s fascinating how the developer managed to marry the two gaming worlds so well. While the game is free, players can donate towards future maps and campaigns.
