Capturing the drama and epic conflict of Star Wars, Battlefront II brings the fight online. Attention to detail and scale make this game a joy to behold, with 16 incredible new battlefronts such as Utapau, Mustafar and the space above Coruscant, as well as the Death Star interior and Tantive IV, Princess Leia's blockade runner seen at the beginning of the original Star Wars.

Once in BF2 the Khimera maps will not look like other modded maps instead they will be the color of the shipped BF2 maps (this was done on purpose and again did not edit the shipped game at all)
Suggested settings
Lighting- High/Medium
Water- High (if your computer can handle it) many of the maps 4/5 actually have some water in them this really will increase your gaming experience to have water on high
Shadows- off (unless you have a high end computer, I personally see no need for shadows)
Khimera Battlegrounds is a planet pack with 5 maps that all take place on the same planet. Each map comes with 3 random environments (except plains this has 2). The 3 random environments are a sunset like environment, a clear day, and a rain or story environment. Each map also has a total of 6 random heros (3 for each faction) which are different every time you play. In total the mappack has 12 random heroes which are random each time you play
Also for those who downloaded the Dark Times mod by Maveritchell, all 5 maps have a Dark Times mode.
Khimera Battlegrounds was built in such a way for the maps to be played in order. Not playing in order will not cause any problems with the gameplay but playing in order will enhance gameplay and provide a more logical, smoother flow to the maps. The suggested order to play is the way they appear (top to bottem, also alphabetical) in the map picking screen. The order is Beach, Islands, Jungle, Plains, Streets.
Khimera Battlegrounds as far as I can tell is online compatable.
Khimera Battlegrounds uses a lot of assets created by others, I would just like to take the time to thank them for their work.

Known Bugs- Hero's appear below the selection screen off the screen. This is unfizable and is the same bug in the Dark Times.
Sometimes the terrain will appear all black just restart the level and this will fix the error
Grievous does not have his charge attack (you cannot charge then click primary fire button) this was done intentionally in order to have grievous and fisto appear on the same map and not CTD.
Alliance Hovertank has no engine sound
