MachineCult Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I was telling him that there is just Anakins yellow Starfighter in the game.
ParanoidAndroid Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 All right, promising news for those who use cockpit views! BTW quick question for those who have used the ARC-170 in the demo. can you man all three positions in the ARC-170? or just one or two?
Blackrider27 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 WHAT YOU USED IN IN THE BETA HOWW please tell me how do i do it

Btw, Tyler, did you happen to check out OJP for Jedi Academy with its first person saber views? (MP only though, sadly) I never really got into the MP aspect of Jedi Academy. However one of the modders for that game came up with a SP first person mode which does the trick pretty well. I would like to continue mapping for those games but Diesel's tutorials are offline.

ParanoidAndroid Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I was talking about any demo that allows you to use the ARC-170. I just wanted to know how many positions it has, just one for the pilot or can you man the gunner and tail-gunner positions as well?
MachineCult Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I assume it will have all three positions, there are no other vehicles lacking in positions, one thing people can't complain about.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 cool.....my friend and I are going to have fun with the ARC-170
Tyler_Durden Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 From 1up.com: http://pc.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3144676&did=4 "PC gamers prefer first-person perspective. Pandemic gets the point and has added this POV to Battlefront II's 30-plus vehicles (a selection that includes Revenge of the Sith's V-wing and clone speeder, along with a few venerable Star Wars classics). "It gives you an enhanced sense of speed in space," Baker boasts--perfect for slipping through a screen of TIE fighters and blasting a proton torpedo into a star destroyer's docking bay. Jedi "heroes" (only a faction's highest-scoring warrior can wield the Force), however, stick to the far-and-away third-person solution. Force-choking foes cold with Vader or Ginsuing 'em as the four-saber-wielding General Grievous wouldn't work as well otherwise, we're guessing." Well, there it is in black and white. This game's as good as reserved for me now.

There would probably only be 2 positions because the three positions in the ARC-170 are: 1.pilot 2.copilot/gunner 3.back/tail gunner Usually in BF the pilot/driver and gunner are combined, as in the AT-TE and AT-AT. edit:Sorry for the double. Should of read the posts first.

biny Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 MachineCult said: But there are three positions in the AT-TE and five in the Gunship. In reality, the AT-TE has a pilot, co-pilot/gun coordinator, 2 front gunners, 2 rear gunners and the top gunner. the gunship has a pilot, co-pilot, and the 2 pod gunners. this is correct in the game. But the position where you stand in the BF would hold 30 troopers. In the AT-AT, the pilot operates guns. In the movies, someone drive and another person shoots. What I mean is that in many of the Star Wars vehicles (ARC-170, AT-TE) the pilot/driver ONLY drives, nothing else. I know all this with complete certainty because I own the Ep3 and Ep2 cross section books. To be more specific, they are called "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross Sections" and "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Incredible Cross Sections", both published by Dorling Kindersly. They are definately reliable because and astrophysicist who went to Skywalker Ranch helped write them.
Rends Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 There are no cockpit views in the game! Only 3rd person and HUD only.
Tyler_Durden Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 would that be for all versions Rends? Cause it says there are in the link that I posted. This is for the final PC version. There is also a first person mode as evidenced by this pic: http://pc.1up.com/do/imageDisplay?id=2385933
Blackrider27 Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 tyler i really hope your right....by the way thats darth maul is there a mistake? Like we know that there is first person shooting but we dont know about cockpit views i really hope....wait rends if there isn't didn't you say on gametoast you said you could make them.
Kurgan Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Darth Maul isn't a mistake. He's been one of the confirmed Heroes for a long time... In the beta: -you could use First & Third person view for infantry (but not Jedi). -you could use only Third person view for vehicles (there were no turrets usable in the beta).* -you could use First & Third person view for ships. HOWEVER, in SWBF1, you had "cockpit views" (an "Inside the cockpit" graphical HUD in first person) which the SWBF2 beta lacked. It was just like a zoomed in view from first person perspective. So does the final PC game have the same, or what? * In both games of course you could change positions on a vehicle (like as a gunner). Those "first person" views were typically locked without the HUD grahpics (much like the ships). So you either had third person or first person for a vehicle position (1st person gunners, third person drivers/pilots).
rut-wa jodar Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 i can confirm that the retail version "doesn`t" have rendered cockpit views for ships, just HUD`s.
Kurgan Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Well that sucks... At least they could have ported over the ones from SWBF1. Granted, that's not ALL the vehicles (minus the Episode III ones) but still...
Rends Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 No Cockpit View for any vehicle or fighter in the game. Yes i find it a big step backwards to walk the ATAT in 3rd person only. They also left the gunner position out of the ATAT but it´s still there if you use a ATST. When flying fighters you can switch to HUD only view. Yes Kurgan i hoped they used at least the cockpits from SWBF1. sad they left them out. It was nice to drive the ATAT from Cockpit.
Tyler_Durden Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Damn, well from what I'm hearing about this game, it looks as though they didn't include a lot of stuff from last year's game, in otherwords, not good for longevity. Also the missing cockpit views are a very big deal with me, though I wonder why the guy from 1up.com would write that, knowing they aren't putting cockpit views in the game? Maybe, just maybe they are including them in the NTSC version.......... hopefully. Sounds like the game is turning into another console port, but I hope not. By the way Rends, someone said you might be able to implement the cockpit views into the game if they aren't included. Any truth to this?
Kurgan Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Yeah, a few steps forward, a few steps back...
