Back in 2009, German modding group BlackMonkeys teased a Star Wars-themed total conversion mod for Call of Duty 4 called ‘Galactic Warfare‘. Just under three years later, the mod has now been let loose to the public, free of charge.

Galactic Warfare is about as close to Battlefront 3 as we’re going to get – like Battlefront, the total conversion mod is a first-person shooter with Star Wars characters, weapons and even killstreaks. This is a Call of Duty 4 conversion, after all.

There are no vehicles to play around with, but there are vehicles you can call on by way of the Star Wars-themed killstreaks. Ever wanted to call in an airstrike from a Y-Wing to rain death on Imperial scum? Well, now you can!

The mod features seven maps: Mos Eisly, Bespin, Bestine, Not A Cave, Jundland, Jundland Dusk, and Anchorhead. Players can shoot it out as a soldier from either the Imperial Forces or, of course, the Rebel Alliance.

If you’re interested in seeing it in motion, check out the mod’s launch trailer right below. If you want to download it for yourself, you can do so for free over at ModDB. You will, of course, need Call of Duty 4 to install the mod.

COD4 total conversion mod Star Wars ‘Galactic Warfare’ out now is a post from: The Inquisitr

I last played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on a PS3 some months ago, and always had a riot – COD 4 is one of the most accomplished, polished online shoot-me-dos I’ve encountered.

Sadly, it’s all going to shit now.

Players of the PS3 version are complaining that the online component is now chock-full of hackers who can fly and walk through buildings with unlimited ammunition and no reloads. If you haven’t played it before, that stuff is kind of against the rules. The cheating has rapidly bloomed into something more widespread, thanks to several instructional YouTube videos popping up.

As a result, developer Infinity Ward (who, to its credit, has always listened to the community) has stepped in, Tweeting that “We hear you loud and clear and are investigating the glitchers.”

Modern Warfare 2 might be out this November (and looking like the kipper’s knickers), but I’d still expect Infinity Ward to be pretty sharp about this. You don’t want to piss off a userbase of 13 million-plus gamers.

Hackers running rampant on PS3 Call of Duty 4 is a post from: The Inquisitr

His parents are now fearing that that he may have been lured by his contacts from his Xbox console. Microsoft is cooperating with police by providing information on who’s been contacting Brandon.

I can only feel for the parents. I hope the kid goes back and realizes that there’s more to life than Call of Duty 4.
