Well perhaps we should be glad that LEC are taking some of the best games of our time and combining them with the best film franchises. As a huge BF1942 fan, I'm glad I've got another BF-style game to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_Thunder Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Am I the only one that enjoys Tribes 2 a heck of a lot more than Battlefield? As long as the game is fun and "Starwarsy" I'll be happy to play it though ... I just hope its a little closer to tribes gameplay (minus the jetpacks ofcourse) than Battlefield... Anyone else think they should add some Darktroopers too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this game is more like BF, that way I can have my favourite game combined with one of my favourite films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is licensed by LEC, and is being made by Pandemic Studios. There is a big difference between that, and LEC making the game themselves. They don't tend to make too many games in house these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was extremely laggy and there is a big difference between a mod for a game made by ppl in their spare time, than a brand new game made by people who work for it..and get LEC support..

LEC gave permission to do it, and probably had many of the ideas. So they sorta did make the game, just not the way you were thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I hadn't heard that... It hardly surprises me though, especially now we know they had this game in the pipeline. I remember a similar thing happening with the Star Wars Unreal Tournament Mod - and that was right before Jedi Knight II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't had anything to do with planetbattlefield.com (PBF) for a long time. And their website dosen't work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Ah yes, looks like it still is going. It wouldn't surprise me if the LEC lawyers were set off on them, though. From LEC's point of view, they are making a game that could interfere with their sales of Battlefront... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it obviously is. Theres been a few new maps on PBF as well. I can see what you're gettin at. If people see that they can download an almost-the-same mod for free, some cheap-ass peoplemight not buy Battlefront. But thats just being paranoid.

MentatMM Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I understand their reasons for sending out cease and desist orders, but don't agree. If they feel threatened by a Mod, that just makes me feel as if they have little confidence in their own game(s). If this BF1942 Mod is good enough to make them worry (and this goes for any Mod), they should be hiring these people, not threatening them. Just my two cents. I like the idea of SW meets BF1942 and hope that this game works out for the best. Am I the only one that enjoys Tribes 2 a heck of a lot more than Battlefield? I enjoyed Tribes 1 and 2 a great deal but haven't played BF1942 enough to make a fair comparison. Tribes 1/2 seems to be aimed more at the hardcore competitive players, in my opinion, which is fine and dandy, but it's going to be much easier for newbian players to jump right in to a game of BF1942 (Battlefront) than Tribes 1/2. Many players will be attracted to Battlefront for that reason alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coward Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I think that lucasarts main problem with the star wars battlefield mod was that they used star wars in their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 The Galactic Conquest mod is still being worked on and it seems they'll have a new release soon which will include a SPACE MAP, though they suggested the size of the download would be near a gig.

Tie Pilot Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 No.... the download wont be near a gigabyte it will be closer to 400 or so... around what size the main component of Desert combat is now without the new patch... tahts about 500. Its going to have 8 maps: Tanaab(space map with flyable Correlion coravettes) Hoth(redone and the echo base looks soooooooooo much better) Tatooonie Beggars canyon Isd Judicator Endor Bespin (mystery map) These are the maps coming for it and there are 40 vehicles... pretty much every map ahs unique vehicles! Now back on topic... i will buy Battlefront and i will Download gc... i find them both to be good they both offer different things... Space map(gc)/At At(bf) 64 players(gc)/32 players(bf) battlefront seems to be focused more on infantry classes and combat which is great but Gc is vehular so they both offer different things... Check this website out the Gc mod has come on in leaps and bounds. http://www.galactic-conquest.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Battlefield 1942 has dominated my gaming hours for the past one and a half year and is still going strong. I personally welcome all attempts to bring Star Wars to this type of game-engine. The tricky part is to make it as appealing as BF1942, meaning you need fast flowing gameplay, skill-based moves and tactics and an arcade-feel. Translated to Star Wars, that means all-out jungle warfare on Endor (admit it; you'd love to be a Rebel soldier during that battle, feeling part of a hugh broader war), defending Hoth (if choreographed well, it can be the ultimate SW-experience) or admiring the sights on Bespin. The potential is there, but i believe players should get the feel they're being a part of a grander battle instead of simply having a flag to go for with Star Wars-skins slapped on an engine. My two cents; i'll definitely be following progress on both Battlefront and the mod to see which one succeeds better at above description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Well the mod had its problem. Huge problems. Lag, crashes, etc. As for SWBF, it won't be as good as BF1942, but it'll be good and I'm sure it won't feel like it's just BF1942 with Star Wars skin. SWGB made sure that didn't happen again and War of the Ring just continues to show the crappiness of just changing the skin. And Hello Leon Weren't you busy panning your wedding?
