Hermie Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 linkedy-doo it reveals/confirms a little more than we already have heard, like: so: We'll offer both first and third-person perspectives for both infantry units and vehicles. It's up to player preference. There will definitely be turrets that players can man, both anti-vehicle and anti-infantry as well. the Republic will have a clone trooper with a jet pack. thank you! hope it works better than the JA one :| 1UP: Famous personalities - who'll make a cameo and in what way? Tso: This hasn't yet been fully determined, but it's probably a safe bet to expect a certain Dark Lord of the Sith. More than one player can enter most vehicles. For example, the Republic Gunship currently has 6 slots for players to man turrets and blasters. The AT-AT will definitely be in the game, as will be the AT-ST, speeder bikes, Rebel snowspeeders, X-wings, TIE Fighters, Republic Gunship, and other assorted vehicles from the movies. thats the outline of the new stuff, but if you wanna read the interview, go ahead, make my day be my guest.

ZBomber Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 A demo would be awesome. I dunno if I can hold in the excitemnt. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Ooo, AT-ATs I want a fully functional, full size AT-AT that moves properly. I don't think any game has successfully pulled that off yet... This game has so much potential, unyet so much potential also for it to be a complete failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 yes, but I cant think of more than 3 character spaces in the AT-AT; the "driver" and two turrets. Republic Gunship, on the other hand, has six spaces. how terrifying it must be to be a rebel solider lying in the trenches on Hoth, watching the AT-ATs drawing closer, blasting more and more of your mates around you.

lukeiamyourdad Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 You forget that the AT-AT can probably carry troopers in its hull I wonder how they'll balance these out. There's no way a regular troopers can face AT-Ats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 No, but if youve got some silly string, you can spray it round their legs and theyll trip over. That's bound to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsioN Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 AT-AT's are in the game? Now thats cool. I hope they're proper size. As for a demo, it wont be released any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Lukeiam: yes, I totally forgot but as Gonky said, you just use snowspeeders. Excelsion: ………………………… *slap* shut up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Perhaps each team will have one "elite" unit eg. AT-AT? Also, the opposing team may have access to a unit that could disable it? Luke would be able to take out an AT-AT no problem... That would balance things out, otherwise an AT-AT could totally ruin another team's chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 there will be "special units", but not AT-ATs. AT-ATs are vehicles most likely only to be on Hoth. Snowspeeders too. the special units revealed so far: Clone Army: Clone Jetpack trooper. Rebels: Rebel Spy. (duisguise (sp?) as Stormtrooper) Imperials: Imperial Officer. (reveal Rebel spy, call air-strike) still waiting for the clone one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I meant an Elite unit, not a special unit Or perhaps what I meant was elite vehicles - a Snow Speeder/AT-AT combination would work very well, and balance things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bothered me for a long time. Also, snowspeeders should get that rope and be able to have 2 slots - one for driving/shoot, one for rope to take out the AT-AT's.

One: it wouldnt really be true to the movies if AT-ATs suddently appered on Endor. all vehicles have their own spawn point, so we'll be getting the usual: speeders and AT-STs on Endor, AT-ATs and AT-STs (maybe even AT-PTs?) on Hoth, and so on.

ExcelsioN Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Lets hope then that they release a map editor soon after release, in a style similar to BF1942's. That way we can do what we like with AT-AT's. Imagine driving an AT-AT over Ewoks. *Evil Grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i recall seeing AT-ATs at endor, around the imperial spaceport, and doesnt AT-AT stand for All Terrain Armoured Transport or something like that? Anyways, i can't wait for the game to come out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, i can't wait for the game to come out!!! There is AT-AT's on Endor. I think, or at least, there was in SWGB. There were also AT-AT's on Kashyyk, as far as I recall (in SWGB, again). And yes, AT-AT does stand for All Terrain Armoured Transport, just as AT-ST is All Terrain Scout Transport. I think AT-PT is All Terrain Personnel Transport, or something like that.

Hermie Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 yes AT-PT is All Terrain- Personal Transport. you can see it in the background in the beginning of ESB. it looks like an crouched down AT-ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it. I used to play SWGB. Hey, I just thought of this: Instead of having a Jedi class, why not have a Jedi army? It could be used on maps like the Geonosis Arena (vs Droids). I can't think of any more right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 *couch*unbalanced*cough* remember that there moslty were no more than one or two Jedis in battle, Geonosis being an exeption. but after the clones came, most Jedi stopped fighting.

Also, for the rebels vs empire, remember that Luke was the last Jedi... and, who would play a droid when you could be Kit Fisto, or Plo Koon, or Shaak Ti, or Aayla Secura?

ExcelsioN Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Well how about they include one map with jedi and none other. I mean that there could be one jedi battle, just to have some saber combat. And if you say there's no point in making one whole army for just one map, then look at DICE (BF1942 creators). They've made a whole new army (the Canadians) just for the 1.6 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Great find Herm! The first and third person cameras seem like a really nice touch, but it'll be quite hard trying to shoot someone in the first person view won't it? The republic trooper with a jetpack sounds really nice, maybe they could be the scouts and find the enemies base and maybe might be able to have Boba Fett style fights with other people. Lots of people in vehicles sounds like a nice touch. Just imagine you are five other friends in one vehicle gunning down the enemies and shooting with turrets. Sheer awe. I can't wait to see what it will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 as much as I like Jedi Academy and such, i don't want to see any or just some jedi in this game..just old fashioned guns damn this game looks so awesome, i really can't wait..and they came off with an amazing quick start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
