JDKnite188 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I am a big fan of CTF, but the MP mode I can't wait for is Siege. Ever since Return to Castle Wolfenstein was released with objective based MP, I have been addicted to strategy + FPS + goal type stuff. What classes for Siege would you want to be? The classes, as provided by the wonderful Stormhammer in the FAQ, are . . . Assault Heavy Weapons Demolitions Scout (sniper) Tech Jedi I would prefer Demolitions, Scout, or Tech.
MASTER Siggeman Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Can you please explain the whole concept of siege, cause the explanation's I've seen before kind of confused me.

No problem! Here goes . . . Siege is a Multiplayer game mode with two teams. Each team has a list of objectives to complete in the map. The team that completes the objectives wins. A "Siege map" might be like the one below: There is an Imperial base. It can be destroyed by blowing up the base's power system. The Rebel Alliance has a task force that is going to blow it up. Objectives for the Imperials might be . . . 1. Stop the Rebels from getting inside the base. 2. Protect the generator. Objectives for the Rebels might be . . . 1. Get inside the Imperial Base. 2. Destroy the Power System. Now usually the maps will have a set timer so that the team that completes the objectives in teh time limit wins.
MASTER Siggeman Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Oh, ok. I get itnow. Thanks a bunch. (And now that I know I ca't decide what class I'd like to be. )
Darth Talliusc Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 scout or sith.... thats right not jedi ever. ill be on the imperial side every time i get the chance. meet you all on hoth while im sniping you from the roof of my buddy's atat *hopes fervently that there are atat's in the siege mode for the hoth level ive been promised*
Iblis Reborn Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 i wanna be a jedi or a sith lightsabers are my main reason to play this game though ir probably wont be that good for this mode im still gonna stick with it and i read that you cant play this mode with bots?? well that sucks! i wanted to have a good idea and how it was gonna be before i went online with this mode now im probably gonna spend all my time attacking the wrong base!
C'jais Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Assault, Heavy weapons or Jedi. Up front is where it's at. Or laying down some serious firepower.
Jaden X Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Hiya! I'm new here!! I just played the Demo, and my favorite was the Guardian, yellow-colored staff. It would be even cooler if you could have a staff with2 different colors...
Dan12R Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Scout or Jedi. I know in Halo I tend to snipe a lot with the pistol and sniper rifle so I figure if Scouts have snipers, I've got some experience already.
Prime Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Jedi, demolitions, or heavy weapons. Any one that I can use to destroy things
StormHammer Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I think I'm going to have to try all of them before I settle on any particular class. I probably won't be a Jedi, though - I want to focus on guns or explosives. If I get my broadband sorted out, and get some low pings, I might try Scout (for sniping ), but I'm not averse to storming in to hammer their defences so Assault would suit me fine. And Demolitions might appeal to that part of me that likes to lay traps. So Scout, Assault or Demolitions would be the primary classes...
Kurgan Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Well considering we really don't know anything about the classes themselves (except perhaps the Jedi) I'd have to play them and see how they handle and if I like that playing style first.

Sam Fisher Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I might go with a Scout or Assult. I've no idea about what they are, except that one has a lot of firepower and the other has a Tenloss.
gorganfloss Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Scout or Sith. Always Imerials. Never the Rebel scum.
Darth Talliusc Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 umm quick question. i understand the roles of most characters... but what the heck does tech do? many thanks in advance.
DarkLord_44 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Well I think they might be able to repair stuff like AT-STs maybe open locked doors or something like that.
JediNyt Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Well since I havent played siege yet I really cant say what would be best for me but from what Ive read and what I like I think Id go with Jedi and Scout. A Mod should make a poll for this.
Zen Knight Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I'm hoping this is like the Siege mode in Tribes 2... I know a lot of you probably don't know about that game, but its a 2 year old MP game which plays a little like guns only JO, in that you have a widerange of firearms, and instead of force jump you have jetpacks. T2 is still a popular game amongst a good number of diehard fans, although siege is an underplayed gametype (ctf rules). Siege there works similar to how it was described above, although the roles aren't set at the beginning of the game, you can jump into any role at anytime (makes more sense when you don't have a jedi-type role). The whole point is similar to the first half of the old JO SP demo... get past the enemy to disable a series of switches and overtake the enemy base. In T2 its a time-based game, where after the base is taken, the teams switch from offense to defense and defense to offense, and the new offense has to take the base in less time than their opponents did. That's really a blast, I'm hoping JA Siege will be too.
Kurgan Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I wonder if the new "Whiner" class will be popular? The role this class plays is to complain about the other team being "cheap" and accuse them of "cheating." He has a variety of taunts including "lamer!" "grip/conc whore!" and "votekick him!" His wide repetoire of emotes include shaking his finger at opponents, folding his arms and shaking his head disapprovingly and wiggling his fanny from side to side. This class has only fists and a chatbox over his head all the time. His skin is brightly colored and easy to see on the other side of the map. From his inventory he can place little cardboard signs that say "No Laming" and "Saber off = Peace!!" with upside down smiley faces on them that other players can destroy. The Whiner's special power is his ability to spawn a squad of Gonk droids to follow him around whever he goes (going "gonk gonk gonk" continuously). The purpose of this class is to annoy the other team and demoralize them. While they argue and try to flame him, their base is snuck into and their stuff is destroyed/stolen. just kidding.. hopefully not. ; )
Dr_night Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 possibly jedi but i like to burn things and make them explode so demolition
