vulcan_sniper Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 This is the kind of stuff that i really hate. correct me if i am wrong, but i know there are some units missing on some of these factions. For instance, i think we all should know that the MAF will be in. I also saw in the planet video for geonisis (near the end with in the background behind the Spider droid) one of those gunship-type vehicles flying off from a drop off, but im not sure these will be playable.

Evil Dark Jedi Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 That gunship type vehicle is the Clone Gunship.I think.Oh and I agree.Lucasarts official Battlefront site hasent been updated every few weeks like it used to be but know its about every month.

vulcan_sniper Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Good. Im glad to have someone siding with my part for a change. Oh, and sorry, the clone gunship is the fighter that has the space underneathe for passengers. It cant hold vehicles beneath it. It has some other name like LATCC/1 or something like that, and i think the vehicle moving one should have a "nickname" to. What other air units could they be missing? Oh, and i think they might not have been adding to battlefront as much because the had been working on the new flash sight. Maybe with a little luck, theyll start adding on weekly again.

Virtuosis Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I think right now they mostly posted the air vehicles and will be posting the ground vehicles soon enough. They are updating every couple of days, little by little. Did anyone notice the two other planets there now we have to wait for the last two!

Mountainforest Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I don't like the idea, but maybe they took the other air vehicles out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I thought I heard the Imperial Shuttle was in it! It isn't on the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzer214 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 i mean if the imp shuttle was in why would you want to use it is like a flying target it has no weapons of it's own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan_sniper Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 true, but the imperial shuttle should be able to hold many people inside. It could easily transport them here to theere in recordd time. Also they are missing the MAF, and that was gaurunteed to make it. If you check the vehicles section of swbattlefront.net, you can see that it has alot of the units we diddnt see in thee official sight, like the shuttle.

Virtuosis Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 They have weapons. What are those two gun looking things on each side of the cockpick where the wings fold up? But as long as its fast enough I think it would be awesome. Flying from spot to spot unloading troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan_sniper Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Dude, i think you are thinking of the landing craft...wait..oh, no your not i just remembered starwars rougesquadron II, There is a level with tthe shuttle. It has two cannons in front of the wing pivots and an automatically aiming rear turret. Yeah the shuttle would be pretty cool. The gunship, though, would work better, because you get to transport people, and you get all those individually manned gun pods. picture this: You run around with your little clone squad, when you come across a gunship. you climb inside , and your clone buddies load into the turrets. You, as pilot, take off and start looking around to assist any allies, when suddenly you spot a firefight with six clones and a spiderdroid. You know the fight is hopeless, So you swoop down on them for a quick pickup. They greatfully load into the passenger area, and zip 200 feet in the air, where you bombard the spider droid with your cannons, and it explodes in a firey flash. You begin your approach to a command post, wheaving in and out off enemy fire, where you drop off your clone passengers. You continue on patrol. mmmmmmm.

Mountainforest Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I wouldn't count to much on the shuttle. The said something a looong time ago, and since then nothing. They possibly put it in the same place as the Imperiol officer: the trash can. And I haven's seen at least one screenshot with the maf on it. It would be cool to have one, but I wouldn't count on it. You have to consider the possibility this are the only ones in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaFett123456 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I agree it is stupid that no one is updating the site. I hope they keep the imperial shuttle in too. Those things are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SITH_ShadowCat Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 An imperial shuttle could mean major trouble. The Rebublic Gunship aleast has some really good weapons while shuttle is slow and lacking a good defenese. This is why they are so easily pinned down in every game it was ever in. Not to mention the amounts of tickets that could be lost from the shuttle being shot down by a single person because of all the people inside and no way to defened itself. This is also a perfect way for lamers and team killers to get under your skin by loading up a shuttle and then crashing it. The shuttle would just get in the way or never used. Looks good from the stand, but take a swing at it and you find you got more then what you barganed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl-1084/109 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I have to agree. The only place the shuttle will work is if you circle the map and drop the troops off in a area where no1 is(that will be pretty hard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan_sniper Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 I know Iv seen the MAF in at least two screenshots, but i cant remember where. By the way, does anybody know what that stands for? Multiply Armed Fighter was the first thing that came to mind, and my best guess. Does the MAF appear in starwars episode III?

You have good strategy.The shuttle is probably going to be or already has been gotten rid of though.If it was in it would be in screenshots by now.I guess we will have to wait.

Virtuosis Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Griefing like that is capable in any ship where you can transport more than one person. But people who do that will quickly be weeded out if there is a voting system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
