Rudolphski Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Does anyone have any info on what the Auto Turrets are that the sniper class carry? Is it some type of mini turret that can guard your back or defend a location while you move to new ground?
T10 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 It's a small floating droid that looks like a grey interrogation droid from the DS. It fires when people go near it, and is as scary as a crouching Greivous.
0MERCURY0 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 sweet this will come in hande when im sniping on endor.
Rudolphski Posted October 25, 2005 Author Posted October 25, 2005 Awsome! I can't wait to try that out on Hoth. The number of cool things that come to mind are just plain awsome. There have been so many cases were I've found a great sniping location just to get killed by a single pilot that has found me in a not so great position to defend myself.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 The auto turret is going to be fun to use.
ET Warrior Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 One would imagine that the aut turret isn't meant to kill other people, so much as it's meant to give you warning that someone approaches.
Darth Alec Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Or to give your position up. If someone just walks past not looking for anyone, they'll get shot at and will know someone's there.
zerted Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I've been able to jump on the auto turret (frendly of course) to get to better places...
MandaloreBIC Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 lol how would the person know if the sniper who put the turrent down is gone or not? and using turrents as stepping stones are a great idea.....
MachineCult Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Well now the game is out we all know the auto turret thing is crap.
jaemz Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I wouldn't say it is crap... just another tool. What you really need is 3 snipers at the same place to drop their turrets together, I am sure a couple of these together will be alot more effective.
Samduhman Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I talked a bunch of guys into buying the first one at or LAN party and then it bombed horribly with them! I felt like an idiot. We went back to Battlefield 1942 and Unreal Tournament 2004. Two main reasons it bombed, the maps where to small especially for the space fighters and some people just didn't like the way the graphics looked. We loved playing Jedi Knight Outcast in its day but just couldn't get into Battlefront.
jaemz Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Better is pretty subjective. Personally I am having a blast playing this online... the space battles are amazing. Will your friends like it more than the first SWBF? Well that is hard to answer... but I would bet money they will like it more than the first one. I would recomend getting this one, trying it out yourself... and then see if you will recomend it.
MachineCult Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 In every way, this game is better than it's predesessor, Get it, if only just for you.
Tyler_Durden Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Well I'll be objective and say that from the reviews I've read, the game's pretty much the same as the first one except there's more content added plus there's a coherent single player campaign. I read that some maps, such as Rhen Var and Tatooine were taken out completely and the game's pretty much about the space battles and the Jedi, though IGN points out that the Jedi are kind of twitchy and the overall game is more arcade like (quake) as opposed to sim like (battlefield). Once I have the game, I'll put a non-hype review up.
richo Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Hi, I want to buy this game as I had a blast playing the last game online. But I wanted a definite answer to the question in the title. So, can you crouch or prone in the game? It would annoy the hell out of me if I couldn't. Especially if I was a sniper, I would be a sitting duck if I was standing and sniping. I remember reading somewhere that you can crouch but not prone, but I have also heard that if you press and hold the crouch key you prone. So I am a bit confused. Also does this game have widescreen support? Thanks Richo

richo Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I don't see why they have taken it out???? I doubt I'll buy it. Thanks for the reply.
MachineCult Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 What an intelligent post commanderobiwan.
MachineCult Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 You aren't buying it because you can't go prone? Heres an idea, be something other than a sniper once in a while.
Vagabond Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 You can still snipe, even if you're not prone. I agree that I wish being prone were still in the game, but that seems like an odd reason to not get the game. The rest of the game seems to be pretty fun to me.
deamonomic Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 ok all i want to know is what the space battle is like. im going to buy the game, but cant do so for a while. can you tae over a ship and turn it agianst its own fleet? or blow it up? or do you just occopie it and pray they dont come and take it back? (xbox version) "judge not, lest ye be judged"
