    I'm hesitant to say that SWBF1 EA was a good game, but it had one of the most fun busted load outs I can remember that was a blast to play with/against (as long as you also had it).

    It was something like jump pack, cluster grenade launcher, and the T21 rifle. You'd jump pack up behind enemies, hit and run with the cluster grenade launcher, try to shoot any other fliers with your t-21, then blast back out with the jump pack.

    It really didn't have a counter as people would be overhead/destroying you in an instant, so you got this fun broken cat and mouse game of other users doing it too.

    If they made an entire game mode that was just this layout I think a small group of people would have loved it for how broken and fun it was.

    I also conceptually liked the walker assault game mode, but unfortunately this game came out during the peak of what I describe as "Kill-death ratio brain rot" so most of the time you'd have 2/20 on the defending team actually playing the objective trying to stop the walkers while everyone else was watching a rave of blaster fire go off around them.

    Visually the game was incredible and ran well beyond my hopes. That game kinda proved to me the possibilities of modern graphics performance given enough time and a solid technical foundation.

    The game also had my favorite explosion sound in any game ever made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A160piVq0E

    Criminal that Andor didn't use this during the riot scene when they blow the thermal detonators.
