Guest T.I.E Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 I would like to see the AT-ATs smoke, tip and make that cool falling noise instead of just falling and dissapearing like some games outthere. Also I want a stop movement button so when the snowspeeders attack with their cables if your paying attention you could stop your AT-Ats andsave them from tipping. Of course they could not move anymore but what a great gun tower you would have. Does anyone know if the dead units are going to hang around smoldering for a fewor are they just going to vanish like in Force Commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 T.I.E., i'm not sure if the snowspeeders will actually circle around the AT-At's.. of course that's the logical way of doing it, but they might also just fire lasers and cause bonus damage against ATAT's. so your idea is great, but it may not be possible because of the way they handle it. The ATAT's smoking fall seems a given, and you know how they handle the disappearing in AOK, so expect that here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T.I.E Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 I like to survey the carnage I caused or have been caused, thats a huge part of the game for me. As for the snowspeeders flying around, that would be a huge eye opener if they could get them to circle around like in the movies. You are probably right on them just firing blasters, circling would be a big pain if they had 50 speeders circling......what a mess. I also want the TIE fighter to break apart wing to wing........and Jedi to just vanish leaving their outfit behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Great ideas... if they haven't done that up 'til now, they are in for a lot of new graphics if they want to.. Total Annihilation was an RTS where destroyed robots left behind a metal mess. It might be possible to do it in the AOK engine, but units can be seen lying on the ground long enough if you ask mee.. it takes literally minutes to let all the carnage clear away..

Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 If they do, there's a good chance they'll go for the 'easy' unit-deaths and won't incorporate some of the nice stuff you thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Aircraft will most likely simply blow up. The screenshots in PC Gamer showed several air-explosion (pretty nice ones too), while there were air-units on screen. Maybe some debris can be seen falling, but we have nothing to compare it with, since AOK didn't have air-units. (and you couldn't shoot diwn the birds...bummer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Originally posted by Paragon_Leon but they might also just fire lasers and cause bonus damage against ATAT's. Yep, the speeders are like airborn mech killers, they do heavy damage to mechs, unlike other fighters. So, i'd doubt it if we saw them circling the AT-AT, since they are good against all mechs, not just AT-ATs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Master Yoda Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 What if the snowspeeders main attack was blasters and their secondary fire was a tow cable? if you select a snowspeeder and then just told it to attack a mech then it would use blasters but if you click tow cable then told it to attack an AT-AT(it just wouldnt do anything if oyu told it to attack anything else with a tow cable.) it would use the tow cable and you would see it circling it....

Guest Telephius Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 yeah killing birds was fun, but since when does an eagle explode in a massive firball by juts a spear that was wired. TA wrekage was cool and it provided tactical (dis)advantages being you could get metal or in some cases energy and for base defense it was nice killing the fronline so you could use thre corpes as a barricade.

Guest T.I.E Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Watching troops get stomped by an AT-AT would be cool.........squish. That would be some poor AI on the part of the squished....I dont think I would stand under a huge walking fortress, and I hope my troops dont either.

darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Sorry but they have already said that you can not run over units. It would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T.I.E Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Ahhhhh Mannnnn they are not going to have a blocking effect are they? Where one stupid peon guy can block your vehicles while they attack a further oppent without being able to close the range because some thing is in its way. Or they go around when they could easily crush it. I hope they dont do either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvan Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 WOHO! A thread about death and carnage! Your my kind of poster T.I.E (it pisses me off to type the "." in your name though ). Anyway, I hope your able to step on enemy (or critter) units! I also hope vehicles have similar deaths to their movie counter parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Fat Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Cool Ideas The ATATs should have deflectable armour against snow speeders like in the movie and also the should alot of blood in the mens death and Ships should be able to cause damage when they crash into buildings and units like the A wing that smashes into the Super Star Destroyer.

Guest T.I.E Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Well Kvan I am sorry for the trouble with my name but it kinda adds alittle pizzaz. Crushing things would be awesome in the game but it might ruin the purity of killing them with big weapons and sound effects that go with it.

Darth_Rommel Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 I don't think excessive gore is nessacesry (sp) A little blood is okay, but do we have to have screaming? (I was replying to Boba Fat's post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T.I.E Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 I think that would be a great idea Boba Fat about the crash damage...that would be pretty sweet. I think the AT-AT is already a monstrosity and will probably cost some good resources to field. Very well spent resources with alittle air cover from my all favorite TIEs.

darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 I wouldn't have guess you all time favorite was TIEs even though I have the Force with me at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 I'm glad you can't crush troops with vehicles, it got really annoying in RA2, even though the AI rarely ever thought of running me over rather than trying to fight. Anyways, i think that LEC tries to stay away from blood and carnage, and i, for one, am glad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
