Star Wars and Halo are two vastly different sci-fi universes. One’s a fantasy epic with parallels to historical conflicts against fascist regimes. The other is a heady space opera, disguised as a galaxy-spanning military epic. But those differences haven’t stopped Halo’s modding community from mixing the two like peanut butter and chocolate. And this unlikely fan crossover has resulted in one of the most impressive mods released for Halo in years.
The Battlefront Pack is a PC-only mod for the Master Chief Collection that converts 2010’s Halo Reach into a full-on Star Wars shooter. The mod turns the Spartans into clones and droids, battle rifles into blasters, and adds a wave of new maps inspired by the films. The most impressive part is the addition of space dogfights, turning Reach’s Sabre (which only appeared in the game’s campaign) into iconic Star Wars ships that can be piloted into battle in multiplayer.
