Mountainforest Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I think balance isn't really the issue. Darktroopers will probably not be super heroes of some sort. And they aren't a bad special character in my eyes. It's just that the Imperial officier deserves the job more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortoCG Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I vote for the officers only because I don't like the dark troopers taken out of context from Dark Forces. To be honest all imperial forces are like german soldiers or indians in american movies. They were all idiots and weaklings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortoCG Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Dark troopers are Justin Chin's original idea and concept. Actually George Lucas never comes with concepts, he just throws a basic idea of what he wants, and the concept artists make dozens of drawings until Lucas is satisfied, that's a fact. I don't think Lucas is involved on the creation of any of the games. Visit http://www.monsterrocket.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Also, Corso, to add to that, the devs are making the Dark Trooper a human in armor like any other trooper. You can hear him groan when he is shot or dies in trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear him groan when he is shot or dies in trailers. Then those are not dark troopers, even if Pandemic is calling them like that. The most they should do is groan ala "domo arigato mister roboto", not like humans. They've bastardized the legendary dark troopers so many times, only a few ppl like them now.

Dragonball Fan Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 You guys are complete idiots if you think you're actually "re-living" the battles. This is an FPS game, think of it that way. You can't "re-live" battles that never ****ing happened. Get over it. being an EU fan I really don't give a **** if anything's different from the movies becuase i'm used to it. So stop crying about how the Darktrooper is going to "Ruin your gaming experience" and get on with your lives. The Darktrooper would have done better as a vehicle and not a class though. Note: The Darktrooper is an Exo-Suit. Figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaebginn Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 calm down. I'm a HUGE EU fan, but I still would rather not have the darktrooper during reinactments of battles. Its a noob magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtuosis Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 There are two sides to this. The ones that want the pure Star wars movie gameplay, no eu stuff. The other side are the ones that want a fun game where they don't care if it totally correlates to what the movie is. Not saying that the pure STar Wars movie ones don't want a fun game just they don't want any EU. I want a fun game that has fun classes to play, it won't bother me if theres a dark trooper flying around. Now I understand where the purist's are coming from, I just think that it would be amazingly cool to fly around blasting people. But than again i won't get butt hurt if they take him out either.

jdtech Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 but I still would rather not have the darktrooper during reinactments of battles. Its a noob magnet. Yep, I agree. Thing is, a lot of units in the game aren't in the movies - ARC Trooper, Dark Trooper, Assasin Droid, Assault Droid, Clone Jet Trooper, Clone Sharpshooter (skin was in the movies, class wasn't). Plus Imperial Heavy Stormtroopers (There were Pauldron guys, but without rockets). So if we removed everything non-movie and added in the Bothan & Officer we'd have - Rebels - Soldier Hvy Weapons Pilot Sniper (Not sure about Wookiee Smuggler, there was only Chewie as the Wookiee, and BF one isn't called "Chewbacca"...) Separatists - Soldier Pilot Droideka Clones Soldier Pilot Imperials Soldier Pilot Sniper Officer So the Clones would have two troopers, the Imperials & Rebels 4 (excluding Smuggler) & the CIS 3. Not really fair..? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 actually, no. cause they were IN the movies, just in the back. like, for ones, they use the same skins for most. and the rest ( not counting jetpack guy) are at least imaginable. like, they are a givenb, you dont see them, but you know that they are there. I am for the Darktrooper, but only during games just for fun, but for reinactments, I say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdtech Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I meant actually visible in the movies...of course they would've had different units for different abilities. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Of course a darktrooper is going to be a noobmagnet, jetpack shotgun. I think it'll rank up there with the sniper unit. But usually the guys with the coolest stuff are hardest to play. Which I imagine will be the same with a darktrooper handling the jetpack while trying to shoot, might be a little difficult. Your list is right on but the rebel heavy weapon unit wouldn't be in there either I never saw one of them running around with a big missle launcher? Did anyone?

Mountainforest Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 The droideka's will be the noob magnets in my eyes. Shield, fastfiring, slow. Do I have to sy more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yeah the droidekka was overlooked for the noob magnet. But I figure it'll take some skill to play that too. Or else they'll just get blown up by overwhelming firepower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isair Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Originally posted by joesdomain Darktroopers just look fake to me! Well I haven't posted here in ages but yeah the dark troopers don't look anything like the ones in Dark Forces do, also where is it stated that imperial offericers got the boot so that dark trooper could be in? I thought they were both originally planned to be in the game. Even so, doesn't bother me with thier inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
