Hengist_ Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 There are no cockpits in 1st person view when inside spacecrafts. I believe that they were in SWBF1, but they're not in SWBF2. Has there been any word to include these in a patch? Failing that, could they be modded into the game, or even imported from SWBF1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperatorCaesar Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Wow, I didn't even realize that... your right, there arn't any. Why would they not include that, its going out of thier way to take something, insignificant out of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Well, at least give us first person view for everything!!! I am not asking for cockpits on all vehicles, but currently you can't even first person on a Spider Droid or AT-ST... Yes, its a "mating female dog" not being able to go first person on things like AT-ST (we get that in BF1 even with a cockpit!) Ita a pain to pilot 3rd person while going thru jungles.

JohnLocke Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I like 3rd person better, it gives me more peripheral vision to see if enemies are trying to flank me. But if I want more precises aiming, better hits...like an ATAT copilot, or if I'm on Endor in an ATST charging through the forest, (actually, the ATST in BF2 doesn't charge so much as drips, like maple syrup on a cold day in Ontario), I'll switch to 1st person. As little as I used it, I do miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooeypants Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Do you know why it was removed? 'cause the view is not suitable on the consoles. Or at least that's what the developers thought. I wonder where they get these ideas from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerted Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 ...like an ATAT copilot...I'm sorry to say the AT-AT doesn't have a copilot. They shouldn't hurt PC users by taking out a feature which consol users don't like, when the consol users don't even have to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 aka, they smoke too much crack when they do it... as said its a "FEATURE" and I would be fine if they define the view as 3rd person by default, and changable in the options (and the view button) It does not take any effort for them to leave the feature in (just a matter of view point setting, where you can do it on your own in simple games like JK3/JA) and its just dumb for them to deliberately take them out.

mogga Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 on the at-at, why cant you just get in and get out of it as a regular soldier? (not as a pilot) The real at-at has room to transport dozens of soldiers. It would be alot more realistic if you could get in, wait till it reaches a command postm, and then get out? Thats alot easier and is more realistic then running across a huge open field with snipers and turrets firing at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonKushn Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 The cockpit textures are indeed embedded in the .lvl files (they look really cool). They had planned to have them, but LucasArts' impossible deadline made it well.. impossible to get it in on time. Maybe we'll see it in a future patch, who knows. -k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 They could easily be modded in, someones probably working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenobiChronicle Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Never noticed them in SWBF1. Then again, I dont have SWBF1 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerted Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Are the graphics which are embedded into the .lvl files the same as SWBF? If they are not, then the developers where working on it and hopeful a patch would enable them. If they are the same as in SWBF, then they just didn't take the time to remove them.

KonKushn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 These were new cockpits (I believe). I will check them again to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justus Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I would really like cockpits in the starfighters, cockpits for the AT-ST's are cool, but I rarely used them in BFI, but then again, I rarely use AT-ST's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcd927 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 It doesn't bother me. I'm willing to use both views. But I would prefer 1st person sometimes, though, in the starfighters. It would make my shots a lot more accurate! I was never a good pilot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I prefer first person while in flight usually, just no eye candy to make it interesting. Third perspective is useful sometimes, but sometimes I like to go first person just for a change of style or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same here, but first person never really worked with Battlefront on because of the whole slightly zoomed thing the camera has got going on.

Tyler_Durden Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I know some guys over at the Gametoast forums are working on getting cockpit views for all vehicles into the game. From what I've seen they have a pretty good speeder bike and BARC speeder view. It also looks like they're taking reference from other Star Wars games to make cockpits for the X-wing, snow speeder, and the A-wing. Hopefully we'll be able to use these in MP, as it is a control feature. If not SP will be fine on its own as I don't play much MP anyways. EDIT: Whoops!! Here's a link: http://gametoast.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2611&sid=e2aef201c091a0392801eb5d67838ecd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidAndroid Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Awsome, it looks like we can expect some pretty impressive stuff from gametoast once the mod tools are released. Soon hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
