Huntsman Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I'm sure this must have been discussed at some point but I don't see a search function on this forum so here goes... (puts flame suit on) I haven't heard about space maps being added...will they? Even GC (galactic conquest) a mod for BF1942 has one such maps but I have a sneaking suspicion that in Battlefront, I will not be chasing after tie fighters while weaving between frigates and star destroyers, lasers spitting past in every direction... ...I really live for that sort of thing in the Star Wars universe...

Glacius1 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I think your right when you say that probably wont happen. Even though it would be mighty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Rogue Squadron, Rogue Leader, Rebel Strike, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, Tie Fighter, X-Wing, Jedi Starfighter, Battle for Naboo, Starfighter...there has been a LOT of Star Wars space games. We need a ground only one. Galactic Conquest's space maps were horrible. So much lag and weirdness. My Frigate once "sank" and I was left "swimming" in space No seriously lol!

Global Strike Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I think that it's possible that thet will have space battles. Perhaps in conquest mode since each planet is split into two maps. Maybe the first being in space and the second on the ground. Just a thought. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, while these other games do exist, they are not 16, 32 or 64 player online multiplayer games. All those single player games are ok but AI bots, no matter how good, are not the same as playing real, unpredictable people. I've learned that time and again in games where I played through the single player missions and thought I was "leet", then joined the multiplayer aspect and found out I was a little fish in a big arsed pond! Multiplayer is where it's at for me...and no I don't want to pay a monthly fee to play Galaxies once the space expansion arrives. I simply refuse to pay full price for a game upfront AND THEN pay for it monthly as well...screw that shiznits Yes, it is clear that GC has a LOOONG way to go...and I had my doubts when .1 was released. However, as of .2, though there are all kinds of problems like you describe (Frigate "sinking" in space LMAO) you can see that the mod has serious potential.

Chris Anne Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I doubt we'll see some Space Combat in Battlefront . As far as I know, the game is all about infantry combat. Maybe the developers will surprise us with a map or 2 that takes place in space -- but I wouldn't count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainforest Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 It could be one of the mystery plantes. Pandemic told that every major place in the movies would be in the game, so I don't see why there wouldn't be an battle against death star map.

As far as I know, there has been no mention anywhere that there will be space battles in the game. I'm sure they would have said something about it by now. If there is a Death Star Map in the game, then the fighting will most likely take place inside Death star -- rebel infantry soldiers vs imperial infantry soldiers. I know it wouldn't make sense since that never happened in the movies but the Star Wars games have rarely stayed true to its original source.

Mountainforest Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Pandemic told that the game would really be based on the movies. It wouldn't suprise me if such a map will be added, or else they may add it after the game has already come out, like in JK academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark jedi 8 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 i guess it could happen but that forces everyone to be pilot classes and i dont think anyone would practice teamwork cus everyone would want to be a han solo, and deal with the enemy by themselves. so i dont think its impossible but i also think it wouldn't be done right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 If people are desperate for an MP Star Wars Flight Sim, go play X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. It had a MP mode. Good luck finding some one to play with though. Besides, the engine will be made for ground combat. They'll have to develop another for the space maps. Too complicated...

Global Strike Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 The engine will also be suited for air combat, don't forget that. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainforest Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I don't say I wan't that kind of map (it's a shooter), I just say I think there will be because space battles have played a big role in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Warrior Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 there will be air battles so it will be kind of like space battles. i dout that there will be spacebattles. you can call a devestating attack from ships in space if you are a special unit but i dont know which unit this is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntsman Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 So how quality are the Jedi Accedemy space battles? How many maps? Are they official? Are they deathmatch or are there objectives? Are there Capital ships? Does it (they) capture the Star Wars space battle feel? Edit: JEDI KNIGHT JEDI ACADEMY!1!1!1!1 NOTE: it really cheese me off when people type "leet" and use the #1 as an exclamation point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Originally posted by GlobalStrike The engine will also be suited for air combat, don't forget that. :jawa Air battles are one thing, space ones are another. First off, there's no limit to where ou can fly in space. You can't go too "high" nor too "low". The engine they're making will probably have a too high and too low(crashing) because it's mainly ground. So they're going to have to modify the engine for that part. It could be one more burden on their shoulders when they should be focusing all of their efforts on the ground combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Strike Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Of course they will put limits if they do put space maps, their not just going players to fly around aimlessly for 15 minutes. So of course they will put limits, if they do have space maps of course. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 You didn't get my point, of course people won't fly to the end of space. Think of the maps for SWBF like a huge box filled up with stuff inside. Now, there's a top, there's a bottom and there are sides to a box. In space, no such things exist. That's the problem with Galactic Conquest and its space maps. The engine was build so there would be a ground and a sky. SWBF's engine will hopely be made the smae way. Ground and Sky. They're gonna have to change the engine so it won't have a ground anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
