Stormtroopers and Rebels blast each other in Call of Duty 4: Galactic Warfare trailer
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Sunday, September 6, 2009

Two years ago this fall Activision released Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, bringing the action to this first-person shooter franchise to reflect what combat is like in the present day. No one predicted that CoD 4 would be as big as it turned out to be, selling over 13 million console copies and even forcing Activision to spin-off the Modern Warfare games so that they now exist in their own franchise (Modern Warfare 2 hits stores on November 10, 2009.)
But for the PC mod community, CoD 4 exists so that innovative coders can think up cool campaigns that would never be able to exist legally. Case in point: a German-based CoD community called blackMonkeys is programming a mod campaign called Call of Duty 4: Galactic Warfare that replaces the Marines and guerillas from the original game with Imperial Stormtroopers and Rebel soldiers. The group has released a trailer that shows the work they've done and with the action set on Luke Skywalker's homeworld of Tatooine. The gameplay has got that CoD 4 look to it but the Star Wars theme just geeks things up to the next level.
blackMonkeys has revealed that they are also working on an Endor level but past that? The Death Star? Hoth? Dagobah? Cloud City?
