Technically, the standard Battle Droid did make it into the game, just in the Historical Campaign only.

 

Here are my contributions:

Primalunderdog, almost all those vehicles I've never even heard of. Why would they put that many uncommon vehicles in? This game is not focused on the EU. And use the "edit" button instead of triple-posting.

why put forth all that work only to remove it? What happened in the final 4 months of development do you suppose? Are they pulling a DICE/EA and have embedded those materials to only unlock and use them later with an expansion like BF1942 and Road to Rome? Wouldn't it be awesome to get straight answers and a real explanation as to why we have a game very different from how it was presented months ago?

It's called: the game was rushed. There were so many things that were planned that had to be dumped due to their forced release with the Trilogy DVD's. Bobby's Helmet (dev that used to come to these forums) said all the things that were dropped.

 

Mixing up the Pilot Droid and Assault Droid skins and not fixing them should be enough proof that it was rushed.

Well, I think it would have been better if Lucasrts put more concentration into this game. Now, Im not sure, but I bet that Lucasarts had hardly anything to do with this game. It was probably Pandmic that did (and didnt do) most of thgis stuff. Now, Im still confused about the difference between a publisher and a developer, so I probably don't have a very highly listened to opinion :p But still, WHY drop the probably to be est part of this game, ONLINE Galcatic Conquest. I mean, dropping that totally ruined this game for me. Not enough to not play it, but enough to not play it constantly. In fact, alot of multiplayer was ruined. :(

The publisher, in this case, contracts the development of the game out to another company. LEC's part in the process was mainly to come up with and okay the concept for the game, and to do QA testing in house for the work Pandemic was doing. Then, LEC takes the final version, and handles duplication, packaging and shipping. Again, I have this directly from someone who worked on LEC's end of the game, the essential problem with the game is that LFL TOLD them they would have a street date of September 21, to coincide with the DVD release. The game in whatever state of completeion it existed, HAD to be on shelves on that day.

Ya they COULD have more vehicals, but that wasn't what they were going for. Wasn't this game about re-creating the major starwar battles that happened in the films? Hence the Historical Campgain. Point being it would be sweet to see the Tie- Advanced, Tie - Crawler, ect.. but you never saw half those in the battles in the movies.

Yeah and they left out the (in my mind) the biggest battle of all, The ending one in space where they blow up the deathstar or the big round sphere with all the bad dudes in it. I want to blow it up too. And I want to fly the falcon whatchacall it. Its in hoth as decaration. :( I think they are going to release a new expansion pack with at least half of the stuff we are all wanting. And my guess for why they took all these great things out is...

1) they didnt have all the major bugs worked out in time for the upcoming release date. (september 21, 2004)

2) they decided they would like some extra money and make expansion packs.

I wander if the devlopers actually look at some of these forums and all the complaints and then some of the applauds. Because if they did then they would know how to change there game in a patch (what we all want) or as they probaly would in an expansion pack.(which we want but dont want to pay for). We just spent at least 40 dollars for an unfinished game. And now as it looks we are going to have to spend another 20 or probally more on expansion packs giving us what we wanted in the beginning.
