C'jais Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Originally posted by Chuahtemoc no for real i just thought of something. would the disruptor rifle, fully charged, anomalate the particles from the armor in the suit, and therefore, either disintegrate the suit, or, fry everything including the human inside(its unlikely that they're not human, the empire was intensely racist--not jking)? Don't mix pseudo-physics and computer games I doubt the developers cared about this issue at all.
King Jezuz Pie Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Well, the disruptor rifle disintegrates a whole stormtrooper including his suit. Assuming this is a suit aswell, why shouldn't a fully charged dirsuptor rifle shot not disintegrate the whole hazard trooper?

Perhaps because a single shot killing them would mean no challenge at all?
King Jezuz Pie Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 m0o... I think we're talking about the general issue of disintegrating a hazard trooper, not about killing him with a single shot. The fully charged disruptor rifle shot could also be the second, third or fourth shot you fire at him...
C'jais Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Originally posted by King Jezuz Pie The fully charged disruptor rifle shot could also be the second, third or fourth shot you fire at him... Sure, if you put it this way, I believe the disintegration animation would play as well
Kurgan Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Well the Disruptor Rifle is supposed to be optimized for working on organic material right? (and 'plastic' armor like the Stormtroopers wear would count). If these guys are wearing metallic armor that could pose a problem, not only that but their mass is much greater than a standcard size human, armored or not. So I would theorize that the Disruptor would NOT disintegrate them, though it might not be too healthy for them either...
TK-8252 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Originally posted by King Jezuz Pie TK8252MJL, the Hazardtrooper doesn't look anything like the saberdroid... How do you know? I'm pretty sure it was a Saber Droid. But I just learned that the site the screenshot was on contained screenshots from the illegal version (the site that was on the twilek torso thread), so I'm not going to discuss it. BTW, just call me "TK" for short, like everyone does on the JO servers...
King Jezuz Pie Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Alright, TK, I remember the saber droid looking close to the droids in EP1... but I'll have to look for the screenshot...
TK-8252 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Yes, yes. That's them. It has the same kind of colors in it's textures as the Hazardtrooper, so that's why I said it looks like the Saber Droid.
King Jezuz Pie Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Well the color doesn't fit... the hazard trooper is white to grey, while the saberdroid is more beige...
Kurgan Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I am assuming this "Saber Droid" you guys are talking about is that droid we saw in a preview (was it worthplaying.net?) that showed a droid guy (had a funny "security camera" shaped head) and a big "bubble shield" around him (unless that was a hit from a DEMP2).... That may have given rise to the "Dark Trooper" theories. They're thinking perhaps one of those is "inside" the HT suit?
TK-8252 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I think the Saber Droid had a Lightsaber blade built into it's right hand. But what the Hazardtrooper and Saber Droid really are... some things we just won't know until the game comes out.
Kurgan Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Was it an illegal beta preview? I found out that Games Arena/Big Pond's was that way, but I didn't realize there was another. Too bad...
TK-8252 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Who are you talking to, Kurgan? I saw the Saber Droid in a screenshot on the page linked to in the now-closed twilek torso thread. It contained screenshots from the illegal thing.
JediNyt Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Has anyone thought about the disadvantage of a concussion rifle at close range? Duh I mean its suicide even if your in heavy armor, and its not like the secondary is gonna help much either being that cramped. Why would they carry such a weapon in close quarters?
Andy867 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Well, the concussion rifle has seconday fire as well, which is more a beam than a ballistic charge, right? So what if they just use that.. That is safe indoors
Andy867 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 The reason WHY it was closed was because it linked to Big Pond's GameArena, which obtained the illegal beta.
StormHammer Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Well, if those big guys are really Hazard Troopers, then I think it makes sense for them to be quite large, with a bulky suit. If you think about it for a moment, they could be going into environments that are not just zero-G...but with extreme gravity as well, or even liquid environments. To me they are reminiscent of deep-sea diving suits with heavy armour. The armour could be thicker, too, to counter any kind of acidic or corrosive environments. I'm more inclined to think there is a person inside those suits...but the proportions are still wrong for a normal 'human' to fit inside.
Sam Fisher Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Also, I read in one of the SW books that they are supposed to have portable Proton Torpedo launchers. At least the Space Troopers.
Kiroth21 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 when i get ja im gonna make my self look like one
lukeskywalker1 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 But I just learned that the site the screenshot was on contained screenshots from the illegal version (the site that was on the twilek torso thread), so I'm not going to discuss it. The http://www.gamespot.com pic? I dont think there illegal, http://www.jk2files.com had a link to them...
lukeskywalker1 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 ooopps... never mind what i said, sorry, they do have illegal stuff O_O
Kurgan Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I thought Gamespot was okay. Who are you talking to, Kurgan? I was responding to a post you made several posts ago. ; )
