Star Wars Battlefront II’s Conquest Gamemode Mod: The Throwback We Actually Needed

If there’s one thing the Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) community has proven time and time again, it’s that they don’t give up easily. What started as a microtransaction disaster eventually became one of the most visually stunning and genuinely fun Star Wars shooters ever made — thanks, in part, to modders. And now? It just got even better with something that should’ve been there from the start: Conquest Mode.

Yes, the classic territory-control gameplay from the original Battlefront games has landed in the 2017 version — and it’s as epic as it sounds.

A Blast from the Clone Wars Past

Remember holding down command posts while waves of droids or stormtroopers descended upon you? Or running around as a Jedi like a caffeinated tornado of lightsaber justice? That’s the kind of gameplay Conquest Mode brought us back in the mid-2000s, and it’s now made its return — courtesy of some brilliant modding.

This Conquest Gamemode mod brings the beloved gameplay structure into DICE’s graphically mind-blowing engine. It’s nostalgic and fresh all at once. You capture points, you hold the line, you hear the screams of B1 battle droids in glorious HD. What more could you want?

So What Exactly Is This Mod?

Created by the Battlefront modding community, this Conquest Mode mod does exactly what the name suggests: introduces a new objective-based mode where players must fight over capture points in large-scale, boots-on-the-ground battles. It’s not a total conversion — meaning you’ll still recognize a lot of the assets from the original game — but the flow of gameplay? That’s pure old-school Battlefront magic.

Here’s what you get:

• Multiple command posts spread across a wide map
• Tug-of-war gameplay that depends on controlling territory
• A balance between infantry, heroes, and vehicles
• Support for custom maps and future expansion

It’s the kind of gameplay loop that keeps you coming back for “just one more round.”

Modern Graphics, Classic Mayhem

Imagine rolling up in an AT-RT through Naboo’s elegant cityscape, dodging blaster fire, and ducking into side streets as enemies try to recapture your command post. Now imagine doing it with the modern sound design, physics, and visuals of DICE’s Battlefront II. That’s the heart of this mod.

Unlike the fast-paced hero spam that sometimes dominates Galactic Assault, Conquest slows things down in a good way. It’s tactical. It’s gritty. And it rewards team play and map knowledge, just like the classics did.

Also: there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi defend a command post with nothing but his calm voice and relentless parrying.

Installation, Compatibility, and Notes

Setting up the mod is straightforward if you’ve ever dabbled in modding Battlefront II. It requires Frosty Mod Manager (you know the drill), and it should be noted that mods like this are strictly for offline or private matches — using them in multiplayer will get you booted by EA faster than a TIE fighter in a dogfight.

Here’s the link for the download (no, we’re not saying where it’s hosted — but you’ll figure it out).

Compatibility depends on other mods you may have installed, particularly those that alter gameplay logic or map behavior. If you’re running large texture packs or overhaul mods, test it in isolation first.

Why Conquest Mode Still Matters

Conquest Mode isn’t just a nostalgia trip. It speaks to a type of design that’s sorely lacking in modern shooters. It’s about objectives, momentum, and territory — rather than just kill counts. It forces you to think, not just react.

In a world of twitchy shooters and battle royale chaos, Conquest gives us a battlefield that feels like a war zone, not a leaderboard farm. It’s the kind of pacing and structure that makes every blaster bolt, every capture, and every defense feel earned.

Plus, it’s an absolute dream for content creators, machinima makers, and anyone who just wants to mess around with cinematic Star Wars battles.

The Verdict

If you’ve ever missed the original Star Wars Battlefront II’s vibe — the methodical push-and-pull of Conquest Mode, the feeling of epic scale without chaos — this mod is your ticket back. And now it comes wrapped in high-res textures, motion-captured animations, and glorious Star Wars ambiance.

This mod proves that old-school mechanics and modern graphics aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, they go together like Wookiees and bowcasters.

So fire up Frosty, prep your clone squad, and get ready to take those command posts back — for the Republic, for the Rebellion, or honestly, just because it’s fun.
