ShadowMarth03 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 "At the end of the match, you'll see a screen listing your stats. Beyond just telling you your kills and deaths and favorite weapons and stuff, the game also hands out some awards for particular players.

ShadowMarth03 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 "Players who kill the most vehicles or get the most head shots or die the least will have cool titles to add to their prestige. " BTW, sniper shots leave trails giving away possition as a balancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Man don't double post, just edit the one you just posted. I'm getting a new headset for this... I've never done this type of game on PC, do you guys suggest a controller of any type? I would find one modeled after a PS2 controller, with two analog sticks. And a headset will make the game so much more enjoyable for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomie Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Alright... i wish for pretty much what you guys said except NO MODDABILITY! It may sound fun and all, but it would be easy to device hacks and all... on the other hand, new skins can be fun... new vehicles, wepaons.... alright: Limited moddability!

joesdomain Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I think it would be cool to have downloaded features or an expansion pack or sequel that would contain more planets and locations like Dagobah, Courscant, Kashyyyk, Dantoonie, Sullust, Corellia, Mon Calamari, Kessel, Ord Mantell, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Thx badger, BTW, have you been having problems with posting long replies? It has only been letting me post a few lines a t a time- notice my large number of posts that were going to be just 2-3...... No prob, no but I have had that problem on other forums. Just type a few line, submit, than go back and edit to add more. I think it would be cool to have downloaded features or an expansion pack or sequel that would contain more planets and locations like Dagobah, Courscant, Kashyyyk, Dantoonie, Sullust, Corellia, Mon Calamari, Kessel, Ord Mantell, etc. Yeah PS2 has a HDD, or hard drive, which i bought but they have not released any new material yet. I'm waiting on new maps for SOCOM 2, but I don't know when that will be. I am hopeing that Lucas releases updates in a timely manner. Ya know.

Elite Jedi Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Hmmm. SWBF is really the first major console online experience. It shoudl be update alot the the connection althouhg PC's will have a strong advantage reageding new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Yeah we have SOCOM 1 & 2, but nothing like SW:BF. SOCOM has 8vs8 like this will have for consoles, but we have never had anything like this. Vehicles and stuff. That's why I am so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Jedi Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Lucasarts could start the biggest market ever. Online gaming with consoles. Bets that the next battlefields might follow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMarth03 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Don't count on it being THAT big, just look around, no one is on any forums about it anywhere but here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Jedi Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Of course. It's not out yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I know there is alot of talk about it on IGN, http://www.theforce.net, and http://www.starwars.com message boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Yeah the best advertisment is word of mouth, so when it comes out it will spread like wildfire. I bet it will be as big or bigger than SOCOM 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMarth03 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I ceartainly hope so, but I have already told all my immediate friends and they have no interest (or dsl)..... But I know just a few people at school who can spread it faster than you can blink if they like it....... that is, once school starts again.

Dustnite Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I was reading these forums and I got the distinct impression that there won't be any space combat in this game. If this is going to be land-based only with so few options to do any huge space battles, hence the <i>Star Wars</i>, I'm frankly never going to play this game. If I can't do a run on the deathstar to blow up the main reactor or fight for my life dodging a barrage of enemy lasers in an X-wing, I'm not going to pick up this game at all. I've read some posts and some people suggest there's enough space combat games for the <i>Star Wars</i> universe. I respectfully disagree with that assumption. <b>NO ONE</b> has been able to accomplish creating a decent space shooter/sim! In fact, I think they should of focused more on going into space in this game instead of duking it out on the ground. The only saving face for this game is going to be flying the snowspeeders toward an AT-AT and try tripping it with a tow cable! The multiple gaming system ports and attempt to combine them all is disconcerting as well. I wonder how new maps or mods are going to be available to everyone on all systems because mods are what keep a game alive. My wish is to have more focus on space combat than ground combat. Not everyone would have to fly in a space combat scenario. You would still need gunners to man the star destroyers and you would need people to form strike teams to board enemy ships. You would need somebody to hold POWs (hey it could happen) I don't see this game going very far without some kind of space epic battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B K Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 My wishlist is pretty simple: 1. Better than Battlefield1942 2. Have it so you can capture all the bases, unlike Battlefield1942. 3. Less laggage on the multiplayer "If you strike me down, I will become more powerful, than you can possibly imagine." --Ben Kenobi-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMarth03 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Please dustnite, there is no way you can can call this game a failure. Full scale ground combat is the whole point of the game! I agree that there have been few good space dogfight sims, but there is no reason that you can say that this game will not rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximumMayhem Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 You have an interesting point regarding lack of an intensive Star Wars space fighting sim. Ive never played the later Rogue Squadron games (meaning anything released after the N64 - Battle of Naboo), so I cant comment on the quality of the latter releases, but Dusty, dont be miffed if Battlefront lacks space warfare, because this game's primary focus will be on ground battles. Take heart though, its only a matter of time until your dreams of a perfect (or near enough) SW space sim will come true. So long as the gameplay itself is brimming with quality and the netcode is optimal, this game will be pure WINNAR! (I wont get into accurate Clone Trooper voice re-creation - oops.. just did ) Best Regards - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
