Virtuosis Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 They do have some cool vehicles. But I really do think that the Droidekka will be a noob magnet to the max... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobaFett123456 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Great thread! I was wondering do you think that you'll be able to make you battle droid say RogerRoger? I would like that a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of embarrassing myself let me say that I'm a noob, and those Droidekkas are the LAST characters I want to play. Perhaps there's hope for me. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. I'm gonna get in there straight away with an infantryman and work my way up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulcan_sniper Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 As thread starter, you might tell us what you want to discuss exactly. I meant for people to DONATE topics to discuss. And they did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think the vehicle i would want to be in would be an AAT, a STAP, or a droid starfighter. Droidstarfighter: I guess that is a complete NO for the walking droidstarfighter, though. were those torpedoes it shot on that ign video on kamino? STAP: Was it confirmed the STAP would be in the game? that would be so cool: a separatist speeder bike, bassically. AAT: The tank of heavy armor and firepower. do we have complete info for how many people can go in it? also, do we know if he can use the launcher things at the base and the anti infantry gun near the command hatch?

JawaJoey Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 What amuses me about the separatists is that most of their vehicles are droids themselves and as such, would be piloting themselves and could not be piloted by others. Yet in the videos we see a clone trooper hopping into a Droid starfighter and hailfire droid. It's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 It's a game you want to experience the real thing?? Too bad its star wars.. Hey man and we are all noobs here next to no one has played this game for real.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Fett Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 We know that, but when the time comes there will be noob weapons and characters.That everyone shall be above using strictly because they are noob choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulcan_sniper Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 We know that, but when the time comes there will be noob weapons and characters.That everyone shall be above using strictly because they are noob choices! while you may say that these are noob choices, not all of them are necesarilly. The AAT, for instance has alot of firepower, and is also slow. However, It requires more than one person o take full advantage of, and i saw on some video that it has a slow weapon recharge rate. same with battlefield. One might suspect that the carrier or tank might be a noob choice, but the carrier is difficult to control and requires more than a bit of skill to use offensivley. The tank might seem to be natural choice, but in first person it is hard to drive, and third person, hard to fire with. to the post above, i guess the Geonisians would have about the same difficulty as the ewoks: Multiple, but easy to kill.

vulcan_sniper Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 I dont think i would lose all hope. they are periodically adding more and more vehicles (justlook at the general vehicles) Its possible that they could have takin the shuttle out, because i have not see it in any screens. Please dont give me a bunch of crap about single vehicles like they did in my failure of a thread: missing vehicles at the official sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawaJoey Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 ^ I haven't seen them, but I'm almost 100% positive that neither of those will be flyable, if that's what you're getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dark Jedi Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yes you probably wont be able to pilot those.Though the AAT is going to be the best besides the Hailfire.Id love to be in a narrow street inside an AAT blowing up clones that are trying to get past you.

Alegis Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 it doesnt matter to me which class "noobs" are going to use in mass...discover the soft spot of that class, and you get a whole bunch of easy kills. They won't continue their "tactic" if they keep dieing eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortenyo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I get to play just about every other day, especially now that we are done. We play extensively to test throughout production, so things change in regard to how the balance, units, and play features are presented. The seperatists have some really cool and fun to pilot vehicles. I agree that is kinda funny, that a droid hops into a droid to control it, but you won't care, if you played it. There is a lot of strategy in stealing an opponents "empty" vehicle and can sometime upset the balance in your favor in an otherwise difficult situation. The STAP is fun and handles much like a speederbike, but I like it more than the speederbike because of its firepower is doublebarreled. The droideka was a very hard unit to balance. I think we got a good mix of power, endurance, and mobility. At one time before any major tweaks came in, the droideka was to be feared, because it was dominating the boards with mass killing sprees. It was fun, but definitely a one sided battle...not fun for everyone. I think the droideka as it stands now, it not just a unit to be because you like it, but a tactical choice. It doesn't seem like you would want to pick it all the time, but sometimes its the best choice for what you are trying to do. I dunno, I expect everyone will have their own opinion on this when they finally get to buy the game and play it themselves. I just wish the shields were a bit stronger. Just a bit.
