If you could have new heroes for bf2 which would you choose?

I think it would be cool to have a commando as a hero for the republic. Maybe even have a squad that follows you around. Though the AI probably wouldn't be to great. The squad might just get in your way.

Padmй, mainly because the Republic doesn't have any gunfighting heroes. Lando, because everyone seems to want him. Roron Corobb, Kyle Katarn. and Mara Jade, because the CIS shouldn't be the only ones with an EU hero.

A hero for the empire could be one of those special dark troopers from Rouge Clones: First Assault (Battlefront 1) that have the super powerful laser gun.

Qui Gon Jinn & Old Ben Kenobi. ;)

Younglings! (for the "Anakin hunts the Younglings addon map" that you will make, yesssss).

Oh and we need some Ewoks and Jawas with lightsabers. Trust me on this one. ;)

lol. Or maybe there should be a create your own jedi with multiple species EXAMPLES: Gungans, jawas and ewoks (as kurgan pointed out) hutts, wookiees humans and lots more. Any of you think they will make a mod that letts you create a jedi?

That's a great idea Darth_Death. You should be able to choose what kind of clothes they wear, and their accessories too. They could be wearing stupid hats or something. lol

Ya gotta have Qui-gon, and all those background cool looking jedi who everyone seems to love. Lando and Padme might be good extra shooter heroes.

I also advocate Nute Gunray, not really as a playable hero but more as a "kill this unit" NPC...

Padme and lando are great ideas for bf2. I now wonder why they didn't add padme' as one of the heroes for the game. . Maybe there thinking of putting her in a bf3?

Yeah, gotta have Lando and Padme. And yeah, Nute Gunray should be a unit you can kill, like the Queen on Naboo.

How about these gimmick heros:

R2-D2 (Rebel Alliance) - Has boost rockets (jetpack), a miniaturized Arc Caster, and some sort of melee weapon (doesn't he have a little chainsaw in one of the movies?). And if he manages to get Frenzy, he can use a little walkie-talkie (like he used in Episodes III and IV) that calls down AN ENTIRE LEGION OF REBEL VANGUARDS!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Now you say, "But that will unbalance the game! Boo hoo!" Seriously, if you allow an astromech droid that goes 2 m.p.h. to get a Frenzy, you deserve to lose. Badly.

C-3PO (Rebel Alliance) - Has bludgeoning arms for a melee attack, and a Chattering Sonic Wave of Death (C-3PO's constant talking builds up and causes an outward sonic wave that not only kills large groups of enemies, but throws them back 20 feet if they somehow manage to survive the carnage). If C-3PO gets a Frenzy, he also gets a walkie-talkie that causes hundreds, if not thousands, of ewoks to climb out of the woodwork and attack enemies with sticks, stones, and the occasional pistol.

Jar-Jar Binks (Republic, sadly) - Klutz (waves his arms wildly around, hitting enemies and throwing them to the ground), shotput booma (basically a grenade launcher that takes a long time to charge up to throw EMP-like grenades, but has massive area-of-effect damage), and 'Meesa Bombad Warrior!' (talks in his annoying way that brings enemies to their knees, causing them to scream in agony. Perfect for disabling enemies.). If Jar-Jar somehow manages to get a Frenzy, he explodes from his excitement of miraculously getting it, causing a nuclear holocaust on the map. The battle usually ends there, seeing how nothing can survive a nuclear holocaust. This will cause both allies and enemies to avoid Jar-Jar like the plague, thus Jar-Jar will never be used. Now call that unbalanced. :D

Fixed. He'd be sweet to use. Though, I tink he should be for both the Rebs and the Republic.

UBER EWOK OF XTREME MASSACREATIONS +10 177N355
it would be the uber hero
it owuld be an ewok who has a autorailgun with unlimitd ammo from red faction 2
also he would fly, have every force power and a super lightsaber and would move uber fast
would he be over powered
of course but ewoks pwn so there

I like the Jar Jar idea. Overpowered heros are the whole point of the game.

That Poon Tang Jedi (or however you spell it) would be nice, so would dark woman, or Kyle, or GURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh speak of Kyle, Jan Ors, that Sariss Dark Jedi chick(however you spell it) or Boc from Jedi Knights series, or Jerec.

Hmm... IG88 would also be nice.

Qui Gon, as I've said a billion times in other threads. However, it does seem as though the Heros outweigh the Villans, so I'd like to see Zam Wesell as the only female villan.

Quinlan Vos,
and maybe to make the heroes less Jedi intensive, like jawathehutt said, IG88 and the other bounty Hunters like Bossk, Zuckuss, Dengar, etc.

what about space heros
like the falcon for the rebs, a jedi flying a jedi starfighter for the rep, the slave one or like bossks ship for the emps
idk for the cis
but wouldnt it be cool if you could explore the millinium falcon and the other ships

well not exactly... AT some point in the game (while in space) it lets you choose to be a hero. then the veichle is availbe for that hero. it wouldn't be the same if any charecter or unit got to go in a special aircraft

The jedi starfighter could dodge most of the attacks automatically. Also, it could have super accurate weapons. The weapons could be more powerful and the ship could fly faster. Something like this.

More powerful weapons and faster speed I could go for, but wouldn't dodging attacks automatically and super accurate weapons take away from the purpose of building skill in the game? To me, that's the fun of the game, building the skill to improve play.

Perhaps there's a way to make a vehicle Hero only... just put it high up in the air or on a small pedestal such that you'd need a Jedi Force Jump or Jetpack to reach it...

Except I guess Jet Troopers and Dark Troopers would still be able to get to it, and the few heroes without any sort of flight ability wouldn't be able to use it (Grievous, Leia, Han, Chewie).

That might work. And the same could be said of if you're flying in an air vehicle on a ground map... So you'd spawn as the Hero inside your special hero vehicle. But I suppose you ditch the vehicle and some ordinary grunt could then steal it... ;)

Good if you can pull it off, but I think the illusion of that being possable in the campaign is that all AI is set to ignore the vehicle. Now if you do this online its hard for you to stop chipmonk bobby from jacking your ride (I suggest setting FF=On so you can put the kid out of his misery and him cry like he just realized he himself is an accident.

Space vehicles would be easy, just make them locked for non-hero units. That would pretty much solve it, or that they begin in space, flying in from the edge, as some sort of reinforcement.

No, the Death Star II in space levels. You fly it like a fighter and you're pretty much an insta-kill to anything. Sweet.
