I've ported lots of maps from lots of Star Wars games, but I was curious about other game series that have a pretty generous EULA. Halo has always been a series that's very cool to modders. There's even a Star Wars Battlefront mod for Halo 3. I figured why not turn things around?
I present to you Zanzibar for Star Wars Battlefront II. Four command posts, Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War, in Conquest. Unfortunately due to how bumpy the terrain is in Halo our favorite Battlefront vehicles didn't work well here, but it still plays really well with infantry only.
Additionally I know that there are people that would want to further enhance this map with detailed shadows, detail maps, etc. Unfortunately due to the way Battlefront handles UV maps I couldn't do the detail textures, so ground and rocks look pretty lowrez, but the mod map source as well as the original XSI scene should help anyone who wants to do more. My first suggestion would be to replace the ground with detailed Battlefront terrain. In my case I wanted this to be part of my upcoming Xbox mod, so I needed to be sure I didn't go nuts with resources. Hopefully this is of use to other SWBF modders, particularly the Battlefront: Halation team.
To speak to the Xbox Mod, we currently are in beta for version 2.0. The 1.98 beta sits at 65 total maps, up from 26 in the stock game. It includes the DLC maps, Battlefront 1 maps, and tons of new community content. Zanzibar and Lothcat Creek (Beaver Creek) will be part of that mod as guest maps, as will a Star Wars-y version of Dust II, originally from Counter-Strike, but our version is a conversion by Smithwillsuffice from Cube 2: Sauerbraten. You can see a full list of maps, modes, heroes, and eras in the current beta here, but be aware that we have probably another 7 or 8 maps running and nearly complete since this release. If you'd like to participate in the Xbox beta, the link is below, along with a bug report form.
Anyway, enjoy the map!
One of my favorite Halo maps, I love to see it! Great work as always!
The download map so good map

If you're interested in the XBOX mod, but don't have a modded XBOX (or modded 360) to play it on you can follow this tutorial to play with it in XEMU:
This is awesome stuff!
