Cosmos Jack Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I stopped reading after the 3rd page... Anyway I like the DT. lol It's fun to jet jump behined a sniper and blast them in the back while they are in the prone. Though when I was looking up the game I noticed the Rebels have Smuggler Wookiees. I thought instead of a DT why not a generic Bounty Hunter with similar skills as the Rebel Smuggler. With or without a Jet pack and not "Boba Fett" like someone else mentioned. Seeing dozens of Boba Fett clones would just be silly. Maybe a Trandoshan type BH that would go good with the Wookiees. Seeing how they don't like each other very well. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arachon Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The Darktrooper wont have any explosives (apart from the grenade) at least from what i have seen from the trailers and screenshots they have like a some kind of ultra repeating blaster.

R6Ender Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 No matter what game you play, on whatever system you play it, there will ALWAYS be people snivaling about something. Whether it's not right because of this or that. Our that it's to easy to use it. or that it's deadly. It's supposed to be there because it's in the game. It's in the game becauses somebody thought it should be. Don't Whine or complain. Just deal with it. You think that any Commander would say Lets not use *THIS* because it kills the enemy to easily and in turn they can't kill us... HELL NO. Kill and Learn, Live and Learn, Die and Learn.

tizodd Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Darktroopers rock. I think they balance very well. And as far as being true to the films, if the game didn't take SOME liberty, Rebs could never win on hoth and imps could never win on endor...because that's not how it happened in the movies. I don't want to play "Episode V: The Game". I want open ended battles, and a chance to see things happen differently. I love the idea of Darktroopers being in the game...I find their real strength to be in places like Mos Eisly, though, not hoth or endor. It's fun as heck anyway, so what's to complain about? here's your silver lining: you COULD be left with SWG for your only SW online fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Anyone that's a veteran from the Dark Forces days will probably have a soft spot for Dark Troopers. I don't mind their addition to the game, besides, I'm sure a few could've survived until the end of the GCW. The Empire is notorious for bringing back old projects *cough* Death Star *cough*.

Decepticon Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 ok i played around with dark troopers a bit and the only thing they are good for are like many have already suggested. hit and run, or should i say, hit and jump lol. i reckon the blaster cannon is lame though and darktroops should have the mortar launcher which the imperial pilots use and given the pilots the stupid shotgun thing. did u notice the rebel pilots have the shotgun weapon too? alliance pilots have the exact same gun darktroopers use, a golan arms blaster cannon. the darktroopers should be more like the clone jetpack troop with a longer hover rate and a mortar launcher. imperial pilot has a mortar launcher. alliance pilot has a golan arms blaster cannon. the dark trooper also has a crappy golans arms blaster cannon. the clone jettroop has a mortar launcher thing....... is anyone seeing the stupidity here?

Decepticon Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 darktroops should be given the current imperial pilot gun, the mortar launcher, and the blaster cannon should be swapped to the pilots. rebel pilots have blaster cannon, so should the damn imperials. makes sense?

thedude2.0 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 i think the dark tropper is okay because every team has a speacil character, rebles:smuglers, imps:darktropper, repulbic:ARC troopers, confreadets: Droidika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orichifunk Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 If people don't want special sorts of classes on some maps, perhaps a function that would exclude them from game be of good use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront-Man Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 ur all nuts the darktroopers r fine in endor and hoth wat if the rebels fight off the imperials in the game thats against the movie so wat. :atat: :atat: :atat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Originally posted by joesdomain Then there is the other reason why I wanted this game to be close to the movies as possible without too much eu. That reason is when I read an lucasarts press release saying that once Battlefront, Republic Commando, Star wars Lego Game, and Revenge of the Sith video games come out it will be the last time they make any video game based during either prequel trilogy or original trilogy. So basically PS2 players would just get one original trilogy game for PS2. I've heard that before, about the OT material. And look at us, we're still playing games dealing with material from those 3 first films. (first meaning Ep IV, V, and VI ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamera Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hmm... don't mind them, don't use them, myslef, but they add challenge to the game, me thinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoQ Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I don't mind the dark troopers on Hoth. You can justify it by saying "If that battle was real, there was a lot of it that we didn't see. So for all we know there very well could have been a dark trooper or two." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire's best Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I think that you all are over reacting bout dark troopers, even though it would be better without em. :fett: :fett: :deathii: :deathii: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story of the Dark Trooper is told in the Dark Forces series, and no battles seen in the movies (or I think even in this game) had Dark Troopers present.

He said that since we didn't see all of the battles, then there COULD have been darktroopers, after all, they're supposed to be rare. Just because they were in dark forces means they can't be in the movie? My my, someone better tell those stormtroopers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All right, but still, I don't see why anyone but the purists who seem to get upset over any minor thing would have a problem with them, this isn't an insult directed at anyone, just what I've seen so far.

Zerosaber Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 If you guys wat my opinion for Endor or on hoth here how it should go: On Hoth they should get rid og the Imperial shocktrooper, and the darktrooper, For th Rebels they shouldn've got rid of the wookie and maybe the vanguard but then it'll be alot harder but it'll be more like the movies which is what everybody wants. Same on endor imperials should only have the stormtrooper, scout trooper, and the Pilot. Rebels should have the soldiers, Pilots and scout. Forget the Darktrooper or the shocktrooper or the vanguard or wookie. That's my opinion on making the classic battles like the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueBoo Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 most people don't want to exactly re enact the battles, dark troopers should be allowed, they add to the gameplay. If you want realism complain about darth vader and luke fighting on endor or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scavenger Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Now ive played this class... keep them, they are really fun, jumping towards your enemy and landing infront of his face scares the hell outta him, thats what happend once with me, i just stood infront of him, and i could just see the player had a heart-attack, because his player was shaking in every direction xD a very enjoyable class!
