Super Clone Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Originally posted by jedijohn and i extremly doubt you can go up to an trap door and through in a pulse grenade to take it down. actually, I saw the a behind the scenes preview of SWBF and it showa a Rebel pilot below an AT-AT throwing grenades up into an AT-AT. There is a hole but it is on the side. It is hard to hit but you can take them down like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Heh are you sure about that hole? I saw the same video and all I saw was a rebel pilot throwing grenades at an AT-AT than the grenades bouncing off and blowing the pilot up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from what I could see it looked like it worked, there was a huge explosion so I couldn't tell.But why else would he be throwing grenades up at it anyways. It could work, possibly. ? ?

joesdomain Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 When I am playing on Hoth I will man a turrent and blow all the Darktroopers away or use a snowspeeder. Kill the Darktroopers! That is my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortenyo Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 At one point in the dev cycle, the darktroopers kicked butt...too much. I would get 90 kills before dying. So his flying/jumping ability was lowered considerably. He was still dominating the boards, so his reload was lengthened. That killed him for me. He was not as fun anymore as I remember. His best asset, besides shotgun capability is his ability to get out of a nasty fire fight in no time. Sometimes you get can survive a dire situation by jumppacking out of the way.

joesdomain Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I will be gunning for all the computer controlled darktroopers when I play single player offline and the rebel faction. Just mow them down with a X-wing or snowspeeder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawaJoey Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I don't really care if the DT is in Endor or Hoth. I love the movies, and there weren't DTs in the movies, but then again, there weren't floating holograms that people had to capture so they could win the battle. It's a game, and as such, will never ever be just like the movies. Even if Darktroopers are n00b magnets, remember, the n00bs will still be there, DTs or no. Idiots will still be stupid, jerks, and lame, and they will consequently ruin contiuity. Don't think not having Darktroopers will change the fact that the battles won't be perfect.

A hollogram doesn't chase you with a jetpack, nor does it shoot you with a hotgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I really don't want to be chased down by some robot with a jetpack in endor especially when you are living the classic star wars battles of the original trilogy. That is what the official trailer said in a nutshell on the official website. Basically living and renact the classical battles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone_Fighter Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Darktrooper dont got a very good gun actually, needs to reaload after every shot. And the jetpack is only good for getting over big obstackles and get to a place fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader523 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Well I have read that the jetpack isnt that great. I watched a video where the guy pretty much listed off, went a few feet forward, then his jetpack cut off and he fell. From what I have heard, its horribly inaccurate to shoot down while flying with a jetpack and that the jetpack will accually desend or lose momentum after a few seconds of flight. In my opinion, theyre unfair, but they do have a crappy gun and run really slow, so im not too worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I will let my computer ally play as one of those. I prefer being a good old stormtrooper and piloting a Imperial vehicle whether it is AT-ST, AT-AT, speeder bike, tie bomber or tie fighter.

Tyler_Durden Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I gotta say, alot of guys are worried about noobs killing the game. Take it from me, if you're a noob at these types of games, you WILL NOT last very long and will have to actually develop some skill. noobs WILL be pwned big time.

JamesNI Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Like I always say, if a Dark Trooper coming after you has you worried the game is ruined, well.. SHOOT IT BEFORE IT SHOOTS YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psych0fred Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Dark Troopers are a unit players can select in instant action single or multiplayer but in the historical campaign, which is based on the battles in the movies, you won't see a Dark Trooper on Hoth or Endor just like you wont see a super battledroid on the fields of Naboo. In instant action all units are available. Psych0fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplodingMonkey Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Originally posted by Tyler_Durden I gotta say, alot of guys are worried about noobs killing the game... ...noobs WILL be pwned big time. When people are talking about noobs, they come in two flavors: The first kind are mildly annoying but understandable: New players that do dumb things because they are new to the game. Nothing was more fun in DC then loading up in a Blackhawk with a bunch of guys to discover that some no-skill noob was at the stick. LOL The second kind is what everyone is worried about here: Players that find the most brainless broke weapon/exploitable tactic/ simplistic stratagey and use it over and over because they suck at everything else. We call 'em noobs as an insult, but they might have played the game just as long as anyone else has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMF Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 yeah, that won't be a problem. i play BFV and they don't ruin that game, they either adjust or die quickly. besides, as a fan that grew up watching these films, the inclusion of the Darktrooper doesn't bother me in the least, i just hope they don't become a class that’s barely used at all, like the Engineer class in BFV, these guys are just about useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
