Um, no they aren't timed.

Alot of demos are timed like that, theres no way a full game would try and do that it's ridiculous.

 

End thread.

[deamonomic]

what i meant is the individual missions...

[MachineCult]

The only thing that is timed is the length of time you can be a hero.

[deamonomic]

ok thank you, i asked cause im playing the demo that comes with the dvd...

[Jetset]

Anyone know if the pc version has been released in Japan? I'm going to meet friends there in February !! Thanks!!

Well, there is that suicide droid the commander have... though not nearly as powerful.

[MagnaGuard]

My friend, commanderobiwan, told me that Hoth is timed for 21 minutes. If you go past that time, it is considered a defeat (this is for PS2...and probably all versions).

Also, you have to complete some objectives in a certain time limit. This also is what my friend, commanderobiwan, told me. Since I have yet to play the game.

I have to say, that when they still had orbital strikes in the game, I'd often go find me an out-of-the-way gonk droid and just hunker down, prone, so as to draw as little attention to myself as possible, and just oribital bomard the heck out of everyone. I have to say, that was a LOT of fun. I'm sort of sad to see that both oribital bombardment and laying prone are gone from SWBF2, but I still think the game is pretty fun so far.

 

I agree. Especially on Kashyyyk, as a clone sniper, I'd run to the end of the platforms and go prone next to the ammo droid, and bomb the snot out of the AATs and spider walkers on the island.

But these maps are way more complex and the recon droid would would probably run out of fuel before getting to its target. Plus I'll admit going prone got me killed (or got me kills from enemies who did) all too often.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

I have never had to redo a level more than once. Never a third time. But, I have finished a few levels with one casualty left, like on Mustafar, and Tantive IV.

[zerted]

I suck. I've beaten the entire SWBF2 game (501st campain and the 4 galaxy conquests) on Elite and I became a worst player. After you have been playing for a while, you start to keep bonuses such as damage given increase and damage taken reduction. I've been playing with those given to me each time I spawn for so long, I've gotten too used to them. I want a way to turn those bonuses off. I don't want to make a new profile becasue I want to keep track of my stats, but I no longer want to start with the 3 (soon to be 4) permanent bonuses I've earned. The bonuses are there to help good players, in the short run they do, but in the long run they only hurt you.

 

In the first patch, make a setting so the user can turn those off.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

I have a question for you zerted. How do you get the technician award or the award that you get by getting into an enemy vehicle?

[zerted]

Nooooooo. I just typed a very detailed reply only to have it erased when I hit the BackSpace key when attempting to delete a letter, but IE went back one page... Anyway the short version:

You get a technician award by slicing into an enemy vehicle. To slice into a vehicle, use the reapiring 'weapon' on the vehicle. A green % will show up display how much of a % you have completed. When it reaches 100%, the enemy units inside the vehicle will pop out. The vehicle is locked for a second, then you can jump in. You don't need to get into the vehicle to get the award. If you do get in the vehicle, you get a nautomatic vehicle health regeneration for that vehicle.

 

Note: The enemy units stay alive when they pop out, so watch your back.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

Thanx.....

Nice. That what I'm gonna be doing the next few days.

[Kurgan]

Here's my noob question (for all you experts who've had the retail game for 1-7 days!)

 

How do you take screenshots?

[deamonomic]

is it true that in every mission the enemy has unlimited reinforcements?

[McCusto]

Yes

[Kurgan]

Fun. One more reason to prefer Instant Action/Multiplayer.

[ParanoidAndroid]

yep, you can't just deplete their reinforcements now, you actually have to acheive objectives, it can be fun, but a bit frustrating. Play IA if you want more freedom in how you play.

[deamonomic]

darn. it would have been funner depleting the enemies forces.

[zerted]

I think I'm going to try to deplete the enemies forces. What could be better than defeating an infinte amount of enemies (meaning if the game buggs out at some number). Can anyone think of a good map for this? It needs to have a defendable location where I can order all my troops to stay behind behind.

 

I just though of one: The Jedi Temple. Right before the bookcases, there are very few enemies spawning and no Jedi around. I should be able to stay alive even if my troops can't.

[deamonomic]

they have infinate spawns

[CountDooku]

It seems as though they deplete because they seem to spawn like rabbits so that its impossible to capture a post and then eventually stop spawning. I don't really understand it.

[deamonomic]

maby it just doesnt say how many they have?

[zerted]

...they seem to spawn like rabbits so that its impossible to capture a post and then eventually stop spawning. I don't really understand it.

I've noticed that too.
