shrinker Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 It's 2 time bombs for an AT-ST, not 1, possibly more if there's pilots inside. That's still not bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dark Jedi Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 True the wookiees dont suck. I am good with them. Normally get around 15 kills before I die as a wookiee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 They're all pretty balanced, though CIS is not so good. So i voted balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawaJoey Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I'm surprised that so many people think the CIS are the worst. Here's how I see it stacking up: Assault: Pretty much all the same, except for SBD, which I think is a great unit and is better than the rest. Heavy Weapons: Pretty much all the same. Rebs get the 2 shot advantage, though. Pilot (on foot): CIS/Empire- sucks. Rebs- Gun good in some situations, bad in others, I don't like it. Clones: Haven't experimented with the gun enough to judge. Sniper- Rebs/ Droids have the extra zoom, which IMO is the only thing that makes snipers even remotely useful in this game. Wookiee smuggler- Don't like it. Time bomb has limited uses, slow weapons, big ugly wookiee makes good target. Jet Trooper- haven't played a whole lot, but seems pretty good, despite slow primary weapon. Dark Trooper- Sucks. Sucks I hate it. It sucks. Droideka- only special unit I actually am ever inclined to use. Has strengths and weaknesses, fun to use, not as easy as it looks. Overall, I'd say it's pretty balanced, and I don't see what sucks about CIS. If it all comes down to Special unit, as some say, then I say Empire loses hands down. Dark trooper sucks.

MURS Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 hey this is a good poll.... I'd say the weakest faction is the Rebel Alliance, even though i like to play them, they are the weakest. My reasons for thinking that are because, they don't have a jetpacker, and i think the wookiee is fairly useless. I like being CIS and they they are fairly strong, with the Super Battle Droid, and the Droidika is a really good unit to be (if you know how to use it) But overall... yes they are nicely balanced, besides the special units, the regular infantry is all the same.

lukeiamyourdad Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 All balances. People voted CIS just because they're unpopular, not because they're actually unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimbo Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad All balances. People voted CIS just because they're unpopular, not because they're actually unbalanced. I love the CIS (I'm a Robotics Engineer though). They are at a distinct disadvantage though in the mobility department on specific maps. It is obvious when on Kamino and a diverse group of droids face a team of Jet Troopers. If both sides are equally skilled and numbered, the droids will find themselves defending their starting spawn in 2 minutes or less. There needs to be something done to fix this. It may be as simple as emptying the jet pack on spawn and/or giving them a re-use delay similar to the Dark Trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad All balances.

I have no reason to find the CIS inpopular because how the talk or how they look. Nor have I preference for any faction because of it's 'coolness'. Sure there are ppl choosing a faction because they find em cool, but that goes for all factions so the votes balance eachother out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragnarr Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 First of all, they are pretty balanced, I would just complain about the vehicle unbalancing overall ( enemy vehicle shoots a wall 5 meter next to you, you die ) Wookiee, It isn't useless, the bowcaster is great if you know how to use it. Also that class has granade launcher if you dont like the bow. Only problem I see with it is the timebomb. Yeah it might be great on Endor but useless on other maps. What I would suggest is make the timebomb stick into vehicles ( Hmmmmm Im not sure if it does that' haven't tested ) Droideka, this is what Im most concerned about. How the hell do Jedi fear droidekas if one jet or arc trooper can bust one down. I know it's all about balance, but from my part I'd like the shield be more powerful. It's still dead easy to blow one up with granade as the droideka is very slow when shooting and shielded. But then again, it totally depends if you're playing on 32 server or in a clan match of 5 vs 5. In crowded situations droideka is useless, it wont even get to roll open before it is blasted, and in one on one, well it can kill most ( excluding jet and arc trooper ). Best thing would be to make it faster when walking. So the game is balanced for clan matches, but not that well for pubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahc Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I voted that they are all balenced mostly because they are! I don't get why every one says that the darktroopers are horrible, you just have to know how to use them. Yes in most cases their gun is total crud because you cant kill from distances like you can with the sniper or ordanary blaster; but thats why God created jetpacks! If you can get in close with a darktrooper its a one shot KO. Same with the Destroyer Droid. If you get in close to an Arc Trooper the blast radius will kill him to and only deplete your shield. The Clone Troopers don't have much against you so the only things to watch out for are Jet Troopers and Vehicles. Wow; that was a big post for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get in close with a darktrooper its a one shot KO. I agree about the Darktrooper being a usefull class. Even if there firepower isn't that strong, does it have to? The DT is highly mobile and capping control points is his forte. if you want firepower, pick the standard soldier or heavy damage. Originally posted by Micahc Same with the Destroyer Droid. If you get in close to an Arc Trooper the blast radius will kill him to and only deplete your shield. note: this requires a very stupid Arc trooper or only happens in accidents. Both are too rare in the game to have a real advantage. Originally posted by Micahc The Clone Troopers don't have much against you so the only things to watch out for are Jet Troopers and Vehicles. Agreed, but the point is that usually about half or more of the clone team consists of jettroopers, causing the droideka useless most of the time (as far as I have experienced).

How often does that happen? At least some one agrees with me about Darktroopers, if you want to peg someone safely PICK A SNIPER dark troopers are close range anti-infantry. And if you read the discription about his gun it says "The single most brutal CLOSE-RANGE anit-infantry weapon" so that being said you have to get in close to your oponent hence THE JET PACK! Wow what a concept! And about the Destroyer Droid Stingray was right but if there is an abundance of jet troopers choose a unit that you can beat them with. Correct me if I'm wrong but try to choose there weaness first before you get all angry, and if you did go for single player until the abundance of Jet Troopers drops down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the other posts, you can see that there is a strange dislike of the robotic army in general. Originally posted by Stingray Sure there are ppl choosing a faction because they find em cool, but that goes for all factions so the votes balance eachother out. It does not goes for all of them. Let's say 20% of the voters like the Rebels, 30% likes the Empire, 40% likes the Republic and only 10% likes the CIS, how can the votes be balanced out? Also, from older polls pre-release, the CIS got the least votes when the question was:"What civ are you going to like best?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
