yaebginn Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 its more like a super jump. you glide thorugh the air for a bit, thenb glide to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadisticmonkey Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I thought it was different for the clone trooper one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 No, in the trialer, you can see him rise and fall, just like the darktrooper did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 The previews/reviews have stressed that the Clone Trooper jetpack functions differently from the Dark Trooper jetpack, which is more of a jump-jet. You can see in a trailer that a Clone Trooper hovered over a stream in a Naboo city and landed on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoopknacker Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I think that it would be awesome to have an expansion pack that has bounty hunter faction with all kinds of weapons. You could have a Jango or Boba Fett type that has a long term jet pack. Use the ships and crap that they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 that wouldn't be fun. I hope they make a bounty hunter 2, though starring boba in the OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 this has nothing to do with battlefront. Sure the empire hired some bounty hunters, but they aint part of the "army of the empire". Did bounty hunters fight on hoth? no. They were for 1 person assassinations, not for battles and if you say "seperatists-> jango", jango was the bodyguard and they were attacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopknacker Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Maybe then a gangster faction. Boba fought along side Jabba. I think it would be cool to have your choice of species, rodian, those triclops guys, dreadlock dudes, gemorian. I think it would be awesome to also have the Black Sun crime people. Speeder-by shootings JK. This is getting off the topics of jetpacks, I just thought if you had gangsters and scum fighting you would have a jetpack that allows a player to be in flight for a longer period of time.

Stingray Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 There IS a difference between the jetpack of the imps and of the clones. The Imp jetpack allows the dark trooper to make a super jump, and the clone jetpack makes the clone lift up a bit, but is mainly used to hover over distances as you can see in a clip in this site: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/617/617664/vids_1.html (view the clip titled: Jetpack madness) Also, both jetpacks need recharging time.

yaebginn Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 lookd to me like the exact same just usd differently. I mean, like, he used it to hover a bit instead of moving more. they look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Well, at first they definitely don't look the same. I cannot really discribe the subtle differences, but if you can compare the two: You can see the darktrooper jetpack almost at the beginning of the ING preview (you know, the one that was only for ING insiders). You can see there that the jetpack burners don't exeactly are vertical. The are angled a bit outwards. The jetpack of the clonetrooper, that you can see in the clip I gave the link of in my previous post, has burners that aim exactly vertically to the ground. So there's your difference in jetpacks. Also, if you compare the two mentioned clips, you will see that both jetpacks are activitated at the same time: in the middle of a jump. The darktrooper jetpack launches the trooper meters up in the air, while the clone jetpack only lifts the trooper a bit, but then carries him forward. Now I suppose you can imagine the jetpack has only 2 states in this game: on and off. So you can't use them differently. Perhaps the darktrooper can use his jetpack to keep him from falling hard in case he is falling, but it has a definate other function then the clonetrooper jetpack. Finally, you will have noticed that if the darktrooper uses the jetpack on a flat surface, he lands perfectly on his feed again, without any fall-damage. Also, he uses half of his capacity of jetpack 'fuel' for his entire jump(you can se that in IGN's preview). However, if the clonetrooper uses his jetpack, he can stay in the air untill his jetpack power is depleted (it runs down continuesly (SP?)). If the clonetrooper is too high when his jetpack runs out, he falls down. The darktrooper won't fall down, cuz his jetpack doesn't 'run out' in the middle of a jump...

yaebginn Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 by look, I ddint mean appearance, I meant use. And I ddint recognize any of the points you stated. They both look to be used the same. I may review both clips and lookm very cloely at every little thing, but I frankly dont care enough. If I get official info that they are different, I will admit that I am wrong, but I havent been convinced otherwise yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 The jetpack is one thing I didn't like it in the game. The only two people who should have jetpacks should be Jango fett and Boba Fett. That is if they decided to add them to the Battlefront environment as a neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dark Jedi Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I like the jetpacks. The darktroopers jetpack is a super jump. The clone troopers jetpack is a proper jetpack.It carries you across a certain area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, for the sake of others, dont bring up these stupid expectations or claimit's a good idea for a mod. Don't even think about them for now, it o-n-l-y causes dissapointment Battlefront->Movie battles. If they have a hard time enough with giving a movie feeling why stick somethign as stupid as a gansgster faction in it to screw up everything? Agree with me that in the space of republic vs empire, that is a ridiculous idea even for a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
