Achillesz7 Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Ripped from the headlines off TheForce.net. http://www.theforce.net/games/index.shtml#25147 Jabba's Palace Battlefront Map Sat, Nov 06, 04 12:05:25 AM EST "LucasArts has news of a new map for Star Wars Battlefront: LucasArts and Pandemic Studios announced today a new map that will be available soon for PC and Xbox players of Star Wars Battlefront. The new map will send players back to the desert planet of Tatooine for a battle in Jabba’s Palace. The action will include battles with Gamorrean Guards, the dreaded Rancor and even an appearance by Jabba the Hutt. The new PC content is scheduled to go live on November 19, 2004 with the Xbox content available soon after." I've scoured the Lucasarts homepage and could find no hard evidence of this announcement. Maybe others can help confirm or deny this news report. -Achillesz7
Alegis Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Well I definitely hope its true..they had "fake" stuff but also true stuff before. I didn't expect an in-door map though. What about the snipers orbital strike? Or just the sniper? (harder to snipe in-doors cause of the limited field)
Evil Dark Jedi Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Hmmm true the orbital strike and the sniper will be greatly affected by this map.
Rends Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Whow, if this is true i will be very impressed by the support we get from Pandemic (except of the lack of less talking to the community ) Rends
sadisticmonkey Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 http://pc.ign.com/articles/564/564272p1.html It's there aswell!!!!
Raxor Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 sweet, always wanted to shoot some pigs this will be great!
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 If IGN says it then it must be true I'm still hoping for an ISD Judicator like map. That was my favorite one in Galactic Conquest. Man, I cannot understand people who complain that this game has little support...

LightNinja Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Originally posted by RebelScum1 Same here! I like lots of bacon!! LOL, i hope they add the rancor
Rogue15 Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 good...as long as the dloadable content on xbox live isn't 'YOU MUST PAY'....but wait..there is no dloadable content option in battlefront for xbox. LIES!!!!!!
Gerardo Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 hopefully it won't be completely indoors, perhaps you'll be able to run around outside too. I'm pretty sure the rancors is going to be included, that will be cool; however they still need to do a better Dune Sea map, where's the real Sarlacc Pitt that you fall into? That will be tight if Boba Fett is like running around as an NPC in Jabba's Palace.

Yahoo.s2f Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 I dont mind if there was 1 limited map that excluded the snipers/orbital strikes .... just as long they make the Rancor as an "drivable" vehichle.....hahahaahaha... and dont forget...Mara Jade was in Jabba's sent out by Palpatine to slay Luke.....so watch out!!! Tales From Jabba's Palace is great!!!! tho i prefer Tales Of The Bounty Hunters myself....
Darth Alec Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 wow i wonder if it's true but if it is true i think they will do some changes to it so that some troops arent completley lost on the map (sniper pilot).
italegion Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Originally posted by Achillesz7 he new PC content is scheduled to go live on November 19, 2004 with the Xbox content available soon after." -Achillesz7 well at least it will be developed for PC at first and then converted for console (thanks god) and not viceversa like the whole game..
Master William Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Nice, but as usual we Xbox users are gonna get slapped now... waiting for ages not to mention it's probably gonna cost, but of course I'm the only one that cares
micks75au Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Not having an X-Box I sympathise, its probably quite frustrating. As for Us PC users well I remain optimistic....but thats not to say that things can't get hiccups in development. Clouded the future is.....
The Air Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Great find! cant wait to download that!

Tales From Jabba's Palace is great!!!! tho i prefer Tales Of The Bounty Hunters myself.... That would be so funny! Ever played star wars: Demolition?
Yahoo.s2f Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Nopes, i never played Star Wars : Demolition .... check it out and its only for Dreamcast and PSX :/
Armydude71490 Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Originally posted by Master William Nice, but as usual we Xbox users are gonna get slapped now... waiting for ages not to mention it's probably gonna cost, but of course I'm the only one that cares Hey I feel this way too, I don't think it will cost us if it doesen't cost pc gamers. And were is our 1.1 patch huh! THE AI SUCKS AND 200 RIENFORCE IS GETTING OLD! BTW Starwars Demolition was pritty cool but a rideabe ranco come on! Im still hoping for nutral creatures added into maps like krate dragons on dune sea or wampa on hoth! And natural desaster where in kimino Id litning can strike troops reiking havoc or people getting taken away with waves!
Mountainforest Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 I like it. Not because I alwyas wanted to play in jabba's palace, teher must be lots of maps who deserve it moreb to be made, but because this is the first indoor map, adding a new aspect to battlefront.
MasterChiefRulZ Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Originally posted by Armydude71490 THE AI SUCKS AND 200 RIENFORCE IS GETTING OLD! You must be referring to the Xbox version, because the AI in the PC version is incredible. Some of the best I have ever played in this type of game. Had several rounds tonight over Lan with my brother and nephew, great fun. I'm looking forward to playing Jabba's palace! I just hope bot support is available. Its been terrible support from EA with their BattleField 1942 and Vietnam games, as many times the offline audience is overlooked or neglected. My hope is that Pandemic and Lucas Arts will be different and support the whole community.
Syzerian Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Well Pandemic has done well so far making up for there misstakes although there is still alot to be done. Hope there are still all ther classes in this map though because Im a sniper that plays like an assault.
