StormHammer Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 Why should it? Battlefront is a different type of game, and a 'squad-based' shooter hasn't been done in the SW universe before. In addition, being built on the Unreal engine, it should be slightly easier for mod crews to get into making mods for it. Battlefront is supposed to have an editor as well...but who knows how customisable that game really is? I think each game will stand on it's own merits.
ZBomber Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 I'm looking forward to RCommando more..... but i still can't wait for Battlefront.
Taos Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Originally posted by ZBomber I'm looking forward to RCommando more..... but i still can't wait for Battlefront. I must agree with my friend Zed here. Ever since I saw the preview for RC, it's been close to the top of my list. I haven't really made up my mind about BF yet though.
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 It's like comparing Splinter Cell with UT2k4. The two are simply different. just because they have "Star Wars" in their name doesn't mean anything. If we go by that logic, KotOR overshadows every other Star Wars game up to date.
Xirion Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 i still see people going BF over RC though, it may not be simialar, but BF will make a bigger impact. Im not saying RC is gonna be crap, im looking forward to it
tFighterPilot Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 The reason I look more to Battlefront is that RC just doesn't gives me a Star Wars feeling, and why should it?

adillon Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 i've always been more of a UT2k3/2k4 fan than a BF1942 fan ... which means that i'm looking forward to RC more than BF. but BF1942 had vehicles ... oh wait, so does UT2k4 ... does that mean RC might have that capability as well???

Most probably not. RC is more like Ghost Recon or something than UT

It might, but I have a feeling it will be more "Foot-battle" type combat.......
Gabrobot Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Originally posted by adillon but BF1942 had vehicles ... oh wait, so does UT2k4 ... does that mean RC might have that capability as well??? Depends on what you mean by that...I don't think the game, itself, will include vehicles because of the type of game it's trying to be, but you can do just about whatever you want in the UnrealEngine. So yes you can have vehicles, but I don't think the game will include them.
Prime Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 I'm looking forward to both, but I'm always leary about games that rely on other players for realism...
Clemme w/Stick Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Republic Commando all the way. I'm not too hyped about Battlefront, since I never really like BF1942. I might get it, just for the fun of it, but I'm really looking forward to Republic Commando. -Clemme

So yes you can have vehicles, but I don't think the game will include them. that is what i meant ... since the unreal engine is very mod friendly, if RC doesn't come with any direct vehicle access in-game i'm sure the community of mod makers can hook us up. but maybe this game doesn't really call for it, because as ZBomber said, it seems to have the CQB (Close Quarters Battle) type of theme. /me still wants it either way.
Xirion Posted June 2, 2004 Author Posted June 2, 2004 hopefully it is very challenging and not just shooter based
ZBomber Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Originally posted by Xirion hopefully it is very challenging and not just shooter based Don't get ypur hopes up, seems like it'll be quite easy if you are good at shooters.
lukeiamyourdad Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 It depends on how many hits it'll take you to die. In tactical shooters you usually die pretty quickly. We'll see how this turns out.
Corax Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I have seen both trailers and i think that republic commando looks alot better but battle front has loads of differant armys and battles..but camando rules!! Corax
eastcoast2895 Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 it defintily seems to be overshadowed by battlefront in the lucasforums community, but the only reason republic commando is overshadowed by battlefront in other places is the lack of information republic commando has compared to battlefront. if there was more information about commando then more people would be here to join the bandwagon. i am really looking forward to commando, it is my style of game of high action first person shooter. after playing demos of joint operations and soldner, two battlefield type games, i've stopped being overally exicited about battlefront because i've gotten bored in both games so now i'm going wait a little longer than i would have to see if i want to buy battlefront.
tFighterPilot Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 If you're not a Star Wars fan, than you would obviously not be a Battlefront fan. I am a Star Wars fan, thus I am. If you like tom clansy type games, and not a Star Wars fan, you will probably prefer this one.
