My Experience With BATTLEFRONT

[John VanHoum]

When i first heard that there was going to be Battlefront Tournaments at the San Diego 2004 Comic-Con, i was syched out. First thing i did when i got to the Comic-Con on Thurseday was go to the tournaments. I loved the game soo much i played 5 games in a row, 4 of which i won. They also had this thing where you could win a shirt if your team won and sadly they only let me get one for that day. I also ended up playing it Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each day but Friday i got a shirt. I now have 4 battlefront shirts. As you can tell, i loved the game.

 

The game was a very fun game. You can fight as either the Rebels versus the Empire, or the Droids:bdroid2: versus the Republic Clone Army. you fight on planets such as Yavin 4, Naboo, Tatooine, the clone planet place, and also my favorite one was Hoth. The game plays a lot like SoCom 2 and Battlefiend 1942, buit is better just because of the whole, it is a STAR WARS FREAKIN GAME!!! The team play on the game i can tell will be very good. There were 3v3 tournies but also a lot of bots so i couldnt really get the full feel of the team aspect but i can tell it will be a very good team experience. The controls are also very easy. My favorite person to use was the standard soldier with the blaster rifle and so all i had to do was press R1 and move and i was able to kill plenty of people. The game does have a lot of good aspects as well. You can move the D-Pad on the PS2 controller to tell the bots what to do and you can also throw grenades or jump or roll or dodge or kneel or a bunch of other things. I can tell the game will go far, and since i am an X-Box fan, i cant wait to be able to get really involved in the PvP aspect of it and the Clan fightings also. This is one game that i didnt really hear anything negative the whole 4 days that i was pretty much always around the game for. I assure you that if you play this game even if you arent a big star wars fan, you will probably still enjoy the game a lot. I will post more information on the game in future times to come

 

 

 

oh, and it is so much fun shooting Ewoks and jawas

Thanks for the info, although we already knew some of that. Are you planning on joining an xbox clan? You should check out the ARC trooper clan, we still need 3 more spaces. Talk to lord tyreal if your interested. Website is here . :jawa

[THE BADGER:]

Another lucky SOB!!!! They need to bring that stuff out to the east coast.

 

 

How long is a round of play, and when a vehicle is destroyed, like a AT-AT in Hoth, does a new vehicle respawn?

[Evil Dark Jedi]

Man,your lucky because I live in Australia and they dont have stuff like that here.

[yaebginn]

no, but u got kangaroos, so its all good

[Global Strike]

Wait a minute, there are jawas on sw:bf? That would be cool. :jawa

[THE BADGER:]

no, but u got kangaroos, so its all good

 

LOL and some of the most deadliest snakes and spiders to boot.

[Tyler_Durden]

Now do jawas attack everyone or do they only attack those who attack them? It would seem logical they attack whoever tries to sandcrawlerjack if there is one in the game.

[Alegis]

to tell the bots what to do

!!!

 

Use bots to send ahead and catch the bullets

[John VanHoum]

As far as the AT-AT i dont know honestly because most of the people playing at the tounaments it was also their first time playing the game ever..... actually i think it was their first time playing A game ever.... but ya none of the Rebels came close to killing an AT-AT when i was playing Hoth, nor did they come close to killing one in one of the games i was watching...

There are jawas they dont really attack though, they jsut get in your way and run pretty much asking you to shoot them

At the comi-con did you see how you get into the AT-AT?

[PBF]

I spoke today with a co-worker who attended the Comic-Con in San Diego. (His Star Wars fan film, "Made to Suffer," was a finalist--check it out on atomfilms.com). Anyway, he's not a gamer but he is a huge Star Wars fan. I asked him if he had opportunity to play. He did not, but he stood and watched, somewhat mesmerized, at the on-screen action. In a nutshell, he said to "get your sleep NOW, because when it comes out..." You know the rest!

 

I am Ed Grimley-excited. I must say.

You will get into the vehicles one of the following 2 ways. One you can choose to spawn in them and 2 you can walk up to one a press a button, or key for your PC users, and you'll warp into it like in battlefield.
