I would be neat to have Jango Fett vs Boba Fett.
I agree.....
Likes:
ability to fight in Space and then land and continue the battle on ships
Reinforcement adjustment
Hero/Jedi implementation
variety of Gamemodes
improved AI
Dislikes:
Menu interface
historical inacuracies
some weapon strengths still underpowered
apart from that I think SWBF2 is a big improvment over the last game.
theres no space endor in the game at all, and there is no space mustafar even though its in campaign :(
the background of the menu sucks its just the same as beta, schematics and blueprints.
hunt mode is funny, spears stay in people:

What video would you like to see?
Those of you who have got the game early somehow, pre-ordered it,
or people who live in the UK and DIDN'T pre-order it from amazon.co.uk (unlike me)
Tell us you have it, what do you think? was it what you expected? What don't you like about it? What you do like?
and show us some screenshots, what vehicles and maps made the final game,
Stuff like that.
I haven't got it and i haven't even played the beta (my PC is just... weird)
I've commented here:

The campaign mode is 'nails' at times - even in normal mode (not Elite).

Ah good to see im not the only one :( oh well it got dispatched last night so we should have it tommorrow comrade!!
Cant wait for someone to mod this game.
Mustafar is messed, obi vs maul for clone wars and obi vs anakin in galactic civil war. Weird.

I have it, great improvement on the original, still lots of continuity errors though but that was to be expected. I dont like the fact that some things are missing from multiplayer and IA such as maps and stuff, the fact that they could have put the commander from the kamino level in campaign onto geonosis in IA and multiplayer but didnt. Im sure much of this could be fixed with mods but much of the game shouldnt have been rushed, that way it would have needed no modding. I like the new graphics, new models, hero system, new maps, improved AI, great Campaign, and altogether improving on the 1st battlefronts features but also including many new features. Mygeeto kicks ass. The hardest campaign level is Hoth. If you liked the 1st battlefront or star wars in general then this game is for you, the pc version would be the best to buy due to the fact that it can be modded succesfully.

Ok, you guys can stop bragging that you have the game now already :)
Keep the pics comin', alex533! Could you possibly show some combat inside capital ships?
Another little annoyance I have is that the levels/missions are all too fast-paced and frenetic. Slowing it down just a little would have allowed the player to take things in and think about tactics more.
As it is, it's just blast-o-rama.
As it is, it's just blast-o-rama.Wasn't that the whole point of the first game? :D The Battlefront series isn't that original, and I think the main point of it is for the player to live out the dream of battling in the Star Wars universe, not execute breathtaking tactics. Meh, I don't mind.

Well the clone wars had finished when obi-wan and anakin fought on mustafar
and anakin was never part of the seperatists but part of the empire
can we get some screenshots of flying. The arc 170, republic gunship ON LAND and the jedi starfighter
Ah good to see im not the only one :( oh well it got dispatched last night so we should have it tommorrow comrade!!
Aahh, thank God,

Wooo!

:lsduel:
hey alex you just posted those on gametoast lmao cause you know my account on gametoast just doesn't have the 27 at the end thats me lucky number :-)
Still 2 days for me
yep, me to man, me to.
yep, me to man, me to.
*sigh* same.
I'm going crazy over here in canada ive looked at every gameplay footage peice, so many threads, i tried dling beta for pc (even though i have ps2 swbf1) twice and watched the trailers and everything so much.
NOT FOR MEEE nah jp i have to wait hmm i have to preorder today hopefully my sister can take me
To Rebel_Trooper, I'd like to know if Space Coruscant is in Instant Action? (I have asked this question many times, but it's usually good to have more than one source)
I know it's been answered by others but just to be sure it's not. It wasn't even that good anyway- it was really empty!
Does the sniper have a corsshair in normal view (ie. not zoomed in)?
I'll get the game in a month to two...
Still 2 days for me :(
Same here.....what are you getting it for? PS2 for me.

Thanks.......
We already HAVE the SWBF2 first impressions. I'll merge the two threads, but any new threads like this will get the lockdown.

I am renting it for the X-Box for all of November. But I am getting it for PC on Christmas
This is great,
I had a good thread for once and ET gives Rends' thread all the posts from it.
Does anyone have a pic of a republic gunship

No, itґs like the beta. No crosshair in standart view.
Does anyone have a pic of a republic gunship
It's unchanged from SWBF1, isn't it?
What they're calling a "gunship" anyway, is just a LAAT with the "side doors" closed.
***
IA = Instant Action (solo mode playing an MP map offline with bots).
Yeah the Jedi blocking requires you to toggle the block option. You can't jump or sprint with it, and it rapidly drains your "energy" bar (the same one that's required for force powers and sprinting). You hold saber at the ready and block the stuff that comes in at random angles (at least that's how it all worked in the beta).
This is great,
I had a good thread for once and ET gives Rends' thread all the posts from it.
Why does it matter?:dozey:
Furthermore, YOUR thread was basically the same thread as this one, and this one came first. It was either lock your thread or merge it with this one.
Did you really have to just delete my thread and put it on the end of this one?
No-ones ever going to read page 2!!! It just makes this one look better.
I appear to have forgotten that it's a competition to see whose thread gets the most posts. Are we giving out a free copy of BFII for the winner?
It makes it easier on everyone if there is only one thread to discuss first impressions of Battlefront II, and so I made it so.
Well i wont post the same stuff here again so please hop over to gametoast:
http://gametoast.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2425)
But feel free to ask questions here if you are not registert there!
My thread was different to this one.
I said tell to people tell us what they think about the game when they get it, Not ask questions here if you want or go to another website.
Different threads, there was no need for it.
This is a pointless argument. I did what I did, I had good reason, and I can't undo it. Having a thread with a lot of posts in it isn't going to affect you any, so what's the point of complaining about it? You can still discuss your first impressions of the game, go ahead and discuss it. As I see, that's what this thread is for. So enjoi.
omg!!!!! did you say taht maul (who should be dead) is on mastaf!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

No he said that Maul is on Mustafar
I like Maul at the Jedi Temple, because it lets you see what would have happened if he lived to realize his dreams of attacking Jedi bookcases
battle on Dagobah ! what`s that all about ?
Did Pandemic mistakingly go to a Trekkie convention to get thier Star Wars Historical information ?
I just got Battlefront 2 this morning and all I've got to say is WOW! The hero characters are super powerful and have their own powers. The Jedi/Sith have Force Push, Pull, Saber Throw and Lightning while others like Boba Fett have their trademarks like missiles and flamethrowers. But now all the specialist characters like wookies and jet troopers need to be earned in a battle by killing enemies, capturing command posts etc. But while this is a disadvantage some of the more more useless troops like the engineers have special powers for example the engineers can cut into enemy vechiles with the fusion cutters now. Last new thing I've come across is the space battles. They are fun but REALLY long. I sat playing my brother while he was trying to cripple my ship for over an hour! Anyways if I come across any more interesting facts I will try to post them here.

At last we will have revenge... on reading!
Hmm, any comments on multiplayer performance?
The lag and bandwidth requirements was a #1 complaint among many SWBF1 players and it would be good to hear things about this, especially of course from people who had problems with it before. ;)
Thanks for your reports so far! :D

if you'r talking about the PC version, then its a bit early to say cos there aint that many proper servers yet. most servers are running on someones home rig and home connections just aint good enough to run big games lag free. i have been playing on some ok servers though and the pings seem a bit more stable and best of all theres no 30fps cap in MP like there was in SWBF1. also some servers have been set up really poorly with multiple game modes and the crappiest maps running but this ofcourse is down to personal preferance as i'd like to play only the newer maps and space maps. the ticket amounts have been low in all of the servers meaning that the rounds tend to end pretty quick.
im still waiting to see a 64 man space maps only server with tickets set higher for some massive space battles, i sure hope someone will set up a server like this :D.
OK, thanks for that.. Yes, I'm talking about PC to be clear. :)
Will still be interesting to hear more about as the game gets more crowded, although the lack of a cap is sure a good start. :)
