michaelforce Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 One thing I am dissapointed in is the lack of any space battles. I realize they are not the main point of the game but it is still an important element of the story. Does anyone know why the spacebattles have been ignored? Is there another game coming out with these in it? I am probably in the minority but who is using the XBOX platform only out there?
swphreak Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 For Battlefront, it is not part of the story. The part of the stroy is ground infantry battle. I think someone made a space/star destroyer map.
michaelforce Posted January 27, 2005 Author Posted January 27, 2005 Can you elaborate on the space/star destroyer map? I didn't understand what you meant. Sounds interesting! Thanks for your reply.
Rends Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 not sure if you mean this one: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=143351
The_Preacher Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 well, if your looking for, Ground, Tanks, Infantry, Teamwork, Airbattles, Sapce battles,Bespin, Capital ship fighting, Sea battles. and near 60 vehicles. all you needs is http://www.galactic-conquest.net
michaelforce Posted January 27, 2005 Author Posted January 27, 2005 Thanks for the info. I believe that is what I am really wanting. There is a problem....I am a XBOX guy and probably don't have a chance at LucasArts making this into a game anytime soon. With the success of Galactic Battlegrounds, lets hope I am wrong.

michaelforce Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 You're right, and I have owned most of the space battle games over the years. I always felt they were less than fun without the context of the ground battles. They are more like simulations but I think the gamer wants all contexts to be explored. I really enjoy flying an XWING in Galactic Battlegrounds. The ability to switch from air to ground battles is part of the thrill of winning (or at least keeping your side alive). Who hasn't had the desire to fly up to the Imp Cruisers and take a few shots?

Except they stand still while firing, which makes for some stupid-looking fighter engagements. But yeah, GB is a good game.
michaelforce Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 That and the fact that they tend to be pretty clumsy...which is a limitation of the game engine. I get kinda disappointed when the TIE fighters crash themselves into the Tattooine mountains on easy mode. I would wager that happens to 60% of them!
Knight of Naboo Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Well, im also a little displeased. Although it is mainly focused on infantry and ground battles i think they should open up the ability to fly. Also something that i don't like is the smallness of some levels, its very hard to manuver a airbourne vehicle. They should either take away the limited area, or make it go into space.
clonearcman Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Get the map editor. I don't know where it is but it is out there.
Windu Chi Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 yes they should remove the limited area, I hate that limit also make star fighters have greather speeds.
michaelforce Posted March 26, 2005 Author Posted March 26, 2005 These are good suggestions, which is possible if you have the PC version. I have already given up any hope because I have the XBOX platform. I am putting much hope into the "Empire at War" coming out soon. Who knows if XBOX will be included?
JediConsularAD Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 empire at war is an rts is it not. also i have heard that pandemic is bringing out a battlefront 2 and are going to include space boardings amongst other things.
michaelforce Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 You're right, it is a RTS. However, I hold to the hope that they will port it to console gaming (XBOX). Thanks for the tip on Battleground 2 as I haven't heard any news about it. I would probably buy it but I can't say that BG has been the best game in the world. Happy it exists, but I don't recommend it unless a die hard Star Wars fan. I rented a driving game this weekend: Burnout 3 for XBOX and it is a huge improvement is the other two releases. I hope for the same for Battlegrounds 2 (if it ever gets released).
Dagobahn Eagle Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 There is a mod for BF 2 planned called "Warp: Dimensional War" or something. It will have space battles, boarding, the works. Just to let you know.
LukeKatarn Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I think Battle Grounds two would be Empire at War.

Well consider yourself to be lucky cause Pandemic is making Battlefront 2 which is going to come out in the Fall this year and one of the new things they will be adding is space battles like the Battle of Endor or the Battle of Coruscant! Also you will be able to board other ships to take them from the inside and use them against other nearby enemy ships! There will also be Jedi and more things as well. The space battles look like the Rogue Squadron 2 Space Battles, and I'm not exagerrating.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Quote I think Battle Grounds two would be Empire at War. No. Plain and simple. It's more like Total War in style. Quote Also you will be able to board other ships to take them from the inside and use them against other nearby enemy ships! How revolutionary... That's been there for years already in the shape of GC, so it's hardly anything new. It should have been in SWBF all the time, as a matter of fact.
clonearcman Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 I've never even heard of boarding another ship so it will be new to me at least and probably a horde of other people.
LukeKatarn Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 New to me too. That will rule. I want to board a SSD, take it over, and then fire upon all the SDs. MUWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHA!
clonearcman Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 It would be sooooooooooo insane if they had the death star as a ship and the firing range was short and the CPs would be planets or moons that spawn lots of ships and you'd have to destroy or takeover the deathstar before it destroyed the CP's. And you'd have a limited number of turrets on the deathstar and there'd have to be someone operating and etc.
Redtech Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Personally, I'm hoping that there is an emphasis on repelling invaion parties, rather than just creating them. Perhaps if the invasion parties capture CPs in an enemy ship, then obviously you (and reinforcements) can spawn there and if you nicked all of them, the ship is yours! Actually, that sounds cool.
