Is it even in development, or abandoned forever? Last news I've seen on Moddb (Where I originaly got the mod) are dated with 2021, about R7 version under way...
Anyways, might suggest something? Please, try to implement cover-based combat. A bootleg solution would've been making character auto-crouch when near low obstacle like crate, then un-crouch when walking away from it, Andromeda/ME1 style.
Another one is more about movement - Idk if it's possible to make movement and animations more smooth and seamless, but that would've been great. Sprinting right now looks silly. Maybe try to add some inertia to movement too?
Btw, playing MEU right from the 2017, lol. Even got it a custom replacement for BF2's steam page. Best total conversion.
Since the mod author doesn't stop by so often. You have to go to ModDB to get to the author. But this is my impressions on the mod.
The Config Tool is weird to use. If it doesn't work properly, click on "Tools" and see if the software can find all the locations of the appropriate mod files. If not, you have to search for them manually.
As for the mod itself, you can say the AI cheated by being tankier than you. They all have 2 hp bars. You can get 2 hp bars like them, by going to Config Tool & enable shield regen for yourself. But when you do that, the gunfights are drawn out because they are all bullet sponges. You'll also see the AI using shotguns & pistols, that's because assault rifles aren't accurate & doesn't hit as hard. It's still useful because of high rate of fire, but the spread is crazy so you can't be too far away. My main problem comes from the fact that sniper rifles & rocket launchers are useless. You can get kills with sniper rifles if you land headshots all the time which isn't hard if you're fighting Geth or Collectors. There are also 2 types of Geth, the Heretics & the Evolved, the match between these 2 confuses me, so I suggest toggle a head indicator on. Speaking of the Heretics, I have the impression the Heretics & the Collectors cheated by having more AI on the field. These 2 have Husks who'll act as meatshields & suicide bombers. The Geth in general seems to be tankier than most as well. I just finished a game of Heretics vs Alliance playing as the Heretics, I won by a landslide. While the game I played as the Alliance, it's a Pyrrhic victory or a defeat by a few points.
Most of the models look the same but in different colours. The All models wear the same armour but in different colour & weapons. Lately I see a lot of Mass Effect armor mods for XCOM 2, if the model resources are a problem, I suppose the author can get them there. It would help if Alliance soldiers look different, would also be nice to see female variants as well. Do not believe when the mod author said you can change Shepard's gender, you can't.
I don't know if it's Battlefront or the mod, but I do noticed the AI stuck in corners or standing still to be shot every now & then.
Is it safe to download? probably a dumb question i know but still i just want to make sure. I love both games and to combine them would be like a dream come true. oh nevermind

Is the old version better in some way ?
