Dark Bob Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Seeing as how we aren't allowed to chop up storm troopers into mincemeat (ooh, the mental pictures), I think there ought to be a mode where you could fight battle droids. Personally, the idea of chopping an enemy into two sparking metal hunks with the molten glow on the edges is most satisfying indeed. What do you all think?

Silent_Thunder Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Uh... Where does it say we can't cut stormtroopers up? You know the "bat saber" isn't in SP anymore, and dismembering enemies has NOT been removed... Unless you literally mean "cutting stormtroopers into mince meet" and in that case, I can't help you there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digl Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Welcome Dark Bob Silent_Thunder dismembering was never supposed to be removed Anyway, "chop up storm troopers into mincemeat" wouldn't be Teen rating...

Silent_Thunder Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 "Silent_Thunder dismembering was never supposed to be removed Anyway" ________________________________________________ I thought that's what I just said?? I said dismembering has NOT been removed... So I suppose that means the same thing... Dark Bob was acting as if it was removed; so I was just clarifiy that.. "chop up storm troopers into mincemeat" wouldn't be Teen rating... " _______________________________________________ I'm not sure if that was intended for me or Bob, but if it was for me, then that's the same thing I ment when I said: if you literally mean "cutting stormtroopers into mincement, then I can't help you there".

Neilinsky Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I would also like to know where it was heard that the batsaber has been removed from SP. Is it still being left in MP though? That and those really big lightsaber glows could really twist my melon in MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_Thunder Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Try looking for the bat saber thread (the one with lot's of replies) a developers replied saying that the "Bat saber" was completely removed from SP becuase it didn't feel right, however, he said he wasn't sure if the knock back was left in MP at all. Also, he comfirmed that dismembering is still indeed in the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Yup, so need for battledroids... and besides it's the wrong time period for seeing those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUS_Tomcat Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Here's EXACTLY what was said: "Dismemberment was not removed. In single-player, the lightsaber used to kind of erratically do an inconsistent amount of knockback several builds ago, but that was removed because it didn't seem right. However, I cannot be certain about whether or not the saber does knockback in multiplayer. This is the primary reason I haven't posted a "no, there's no knockback" or "yes, there is" because I'm not certain if there (technically) is or isn't any in multiplayer... That is all. __________________ Michael Chang Gummelt Lead Gameplay Programmer Jedi Knight 2 Raven Software " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracken Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Just one quick comment: how the reason you want battle droids included is so you can chop them into itty bitty pieces, right? Well, that would be a very impractical and inefficient way of fighting, especially for a Jedi. For example, let's say you're surrounded by 6 of so battle droids? Are you going to attack any single one with extreme predjudice? No, you're going to dispatch as many as possible in a short amount of time.

Dark Bob Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Sorry if I misled my point with the word "mince meat", I just figured that we wouldn't be seeing any storm troopers fall into two or three seperate pieces, as for the battle droids did, so I figured it would be a cool kind of bonus level or mini-game to be able to take out the trade federations mechanical horror.

L'Equa Sinar Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Its a real shame not being able to cut Storm troopers up, yeah, but i guess i will have to be the voice of reason and say, whatthe hell? The rest of the game rocks, it will be so fast paced action that we won't even bother looking round to see if there are stormies at our feet, aaah well, we get to play this damn cool game in 3 weeks time, that gos enough for me!! Unless ppl wana send me a beta copy or summit?!?! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I was kinda joking about the Teen rating They justify some things saying the game needs to be rated Teen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 You could always go around slicing the tops off Probe droids with saber throw... I have to agree...if you can't get to thoroughly slice-and-dice Stormies (just have arms, hands etc., flying off), then it would be nice to take out your frustrations on the droid contingent in the game...

Neilinsky Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thanks for answering my questions and sorry i didn't go myself to find it from the relevant thread. I get confused at what i have read and what i haven't. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediArs Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I would enjoy chopping up stormtroopers anyday over those lame and utterly weak battledroids (not that troopers aren't the same). It's just more fun fighting stormtropers, the signature dumb army of StarWars. I never really liked the whole battledroid idea.....Aghhh!!! ...brings back horrible memories of EPI.....stupid little brat saving a world by accident......Jar Jar:jarjar:......Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
