Carbon Freeze Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 The Darktrooper will not be able to fly that high. Also, he flies slow if you watch the videos and is slower on the battlefield. I don't think he will have an advantage as he can be killed as easy as anyone else. They put him in to "mirror" the clones jetpack trooper. Is it movie realistic - "NO" Does it have to be? - "NO" The rebels can actually win Hoth in this game so it is not as it happened in the movies. It's not supposed to be exactly like the movies otherwise you could just watch the Trilogy DVD's instead of play a game. It's all in the gunnery skills. I've played this game and it was a blast to play regardless of who or what the other team is using. The Darktrooper will not be a major advantage. You have to adapt your gameplay to the situation. Teamwork will win every time in this game.

Clone Sarge Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 i do hope the Heavy weapons class will not work good against infantry.... i hope its more like 1942 where u have to aim just right to hit an infantrymen but from what i saw on the preview vids the Heavy weapons class worked very well against infantry.....
Virtuosis Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I think the darktrooper would be a great addition to the game. It might seem a little strange to have them flying around especialy in Endor; Where it should just be pure infantry, although from what I've read they can't fly up very high or for very long. If they do have the shotgun blaster or whatever, they won't be very effective from long distance, which you'll just have to counter by backing up. With the heavy weapon specialists I really don't think we will have anything to worry about with them. If they balance them than we won't have to worry about them being the ultimate infantry killer. But even if they do make the vanguards a great infantry killer I'm sure techniques will be developed to make their advantage miniscule.
reelguy227 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 ya ,the darktroopers shouldnt be in those battles ,simply because they werent in them in the movie ,and ,eu rocks, how does anyone not like eu,it expands the already ever growing story of George Lucas' dream ,Star Wars. the proton torpedo launcher ,which is what the vanguard is carrying, is in sw ,its in the weapons and technology guide book .
joesdomain Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 The expanded universe just expands the star wars universe that is not created by Lucas. I only stick to the Star wars films and Lucas's vision. Not other Star Wars authors who make up novels and comics. That is why I protest the Imperial Officer being taken out for the expanded universe trooper, Darktrooper.
Virtuosis Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 joesdomain, why do you hate EU so much?? Again I think the darktrooper is a great addition, I don't really see the Officer as something that would be able to really do anything on the battlefield, maybe he can hand out ammo and health and call the occasional airstrike but thats about it! I don't know I'm just not a big fan of support classes for some reason, power to you if you can play em right though!!
yaebginn Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I am aginst the officer. I'd rather have darktrooper than offcier.
joesdomain Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I want a more realistic star wars video game based on the star wars films. To be able to play the battles and live in the action of the star wars films on my PS2. No star wars eu vehicles and starships or as little as possibility. I want to relive the Battle of Hoth and Battle of Endor just like movies. There is plenty of troopers, etc. to choose from from the films to not have extra things like a darktrooper added.
Virtuosis Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 That is a pretty good reason, I must admit. I do see where you are coming from, it would be a lot of fun if you could almost reenact the battle of hoth or ender, hopefully someone will make an attempt at it. I remember they made a remake of some parts of Sniper, in SOCOM II. So anything could happen. Although I think that it would be awesome to have it just from the movies. I love the EU too much, even though its not approved by GL, it adds soo much more than the 5 movies couldn't. Although they did a great job with the movies. I prefer gameplay over realism. If realism gets in the way of gameplay it would really bother me. I want a game that plays smooth, and there is no clear winner with just one class. Only the skill of the player is counted, not some class that dominates all. But again I see where you are coming from.
Super Clone Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Not to get too off topic but the clone jet pack trooper has an automatic rapid fire gun. He has a bad detonator though.
TK-8252 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Uh... where did you hear that? The Jet Trooper has a Merr-Sonn EM Pulse Launcher, and no where in its description does it say it's automatic. Also, the Jet Trooper has the same thermal detonator as any other class.
Super Clone Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I know he has a Pulse Launcher amd a Thermal Detonater, but he has a DC-17 Pistol that has rapid fire.The normal clones have better explosives. They have Haywires and Concussions.It was at http://www.ign.com.
ps2gamer42 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 The Darktrooper doesn't bother me, I just dont like how the special class for the imperial and republic are so similar.
reelguy227 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Originally posted by Virtuosis I love the EU too much, even though its not approved by GL, it adds soo much more than the 5 movies couldn't. george lucas approves all the eu stuff. the authors have to tell him the idea before he can say that its fine .technically lucas approving of the eu ,shows that he says thats what happens in the rest of the sw universe ,the eu expands the already ever growing dream of George lucas' Star Wars.

They have Haywires and Concussions.It was at http://www.ign.com. Umm... no, it's not an automatic pistol. Here's the description of the DC-17 pistol: http://xbox.ign.com/articles/534/534793p5.html Jet troopers are often stuck in intense situations and carry a better blaster pistols than most other soldiers. The DC-17 has a higher rate of fire than its predecessors and is extremely deadly. No where does it say that its automatic (I don't think a pistol can even be automatic... can it?) or have any kind of rapid-fire function. And the thermal detonator that the Jet Trooper has is the same one that the ARC Trooper, Clone Pilot, and Clone Sharpshooter has. It's not worse than the regular Clone's, because the regular Clone doesn't have a thermal detonator.
Mountainforest Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 The difference between the two jetpacks is that the one the darktrooper carrys enables him to jump a litle higher (it probably gives a liitle burst), while the one of the jetpacktrooper really is for flights.
Super Clone Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 It has a heavy rate of fire. I never said automatic, and I know the jetpack trooper Clone, ARC, and sniper all have thermal detonators. The normal clone has Haywire grenades and Concussion grenades, that are more powerful than thermal detonators.FYI I already read the updates on that site and read the Republic, Rebels, and Separatists units info.

joesdomain Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Lucasfilm actually gives the ok to use certain material for novels, comics, and video games. Not everything is 100% approved by Lucas because he is a busy man with star wars episode III and his other companies he owns.
Super Clone Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Ok ok, didn't mean to say automatic happy?!?
Virtuosis Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 You know, I just watched the trailer in the OPM cd. It's pretty good, it really won't bother me having dark troopers flying around. I don't know what made it like that, but they seem like they can be picked off pretty easily.
CortoCG Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Dark Troopers were born and died during the timeline of Dark Forces. Anything that goes further than that timeline is buIIshiat, pure manure, lol. And they had jetpacks only to move faster and have an overwhelming agility, since they can't walk that faster. The are armed with a custom made, custom sized plasma cannon with an embedded rocket launcher. I personally think that taking the dark troopers outside the Dark Forces game is crap, and Lucasarts is giving away credibility and consistency for the mighty buck. They are mixing ewoks with dark troopers??? WTF??? Facts aside, wtf is wrong with 3d artists and concept artists??? Why don't they do all dark troopers look the same, like in the Dark Forces game, like Justin Chin conceived them??? Personally, this game has the worst looking dark trooper phase 2 of all.
