Very interesting. Never would've thought you had find things and take somewhere. ex.gunships
I like the way it is objective-based. Though I still like too just take command posts...nice and simple.
This is much better than the original Battlefront's campaign. That was just a string of IA battles stuck together.
BTW, is there an Acklay hunting mode on Felucia? That would be pretty sweet
Also, how do you load Hunt Maps in the beta? I know you can't spawn, but what is the map name?
Unfortunately, there probably isn't an Acklay in hunting mode...I heard that the Acklay is only avaliable in the Campaign.
Here are all the in game pics of all the natives in hunt mode from the beta (except the wookies, map wouldnt load):
http://home.comcast.net/~kohan/natives.gif)
give it few secs to load...
How do you get that? I tried the Hero mode code to see the heroes but nothing loads.

Easy, i just made a batch file and loaded the map. To find out the maps which we included, you have to extract the mission.lvl file. Post your information of your batch file on the heros, and i will tell you the mistakes.
Kurgan told me that tat2g_eli 200 200 was the code to get the Mos Eisley hero mode map running.
use this batch:
cd\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\
BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe -/win /autonet Listen /resolution 1152 864 /gamename "Heros" /tps 20 /playerlimit 18 /playercount 1 /bots 17 /noaim /password test /sideselect /difficulty 1 /heroes 1 /hrunlock 5 /hrunlockvalue 0 /hrplayer 7 /hrteam 8 /hrrespawn 0 /hrrespawnvalue 0 /pregametime 5 /voicemode 2 /throttle 6144 /spawn 0 /netregion NA tat2g_eli 500 500
That doesn't do me any good :/
All it does is automatically start and all that appears is a black screen
it will be on a black screen for about 5-10 sec. then will load the map. Try running the bat, in the root directory of which the beta is installed.
In the GameData folder?
It goes black then freezes, is that normal?
no, the root (aka the drive, the first thing that pops up when you click on a drive via my computer). It should not freeze. first it boots up the cmd and then the game runs, the intro goes very quick, and then a black screen pops for about 5-10 sec (also there is a "back" button) and the map loads.
Bah, I keep getting to it and then it said something like Host Registration Failed
make sure your internet is up an running, and that your firewall aint disabling the game. the batch command is basicly hosting a server, so it needs to send a few packets to gamespy cuz it want you to be on the game list.
Aw man, it seems the gungans and geonosians don't have electrospears as I had hoped, and no gaffi sticks for the raiders...
Oh well, the campaign mode looks sweet! Way better then the first one. The objective based gameplay looks fun, although I would kind of like to complete some of them online, with other players. It kind of makes me wish there was mix between simple capture the command post gameplay and achieving objectives, instead of limiting the objectives to campaign only and making IA and multiplayer strictly capture cps. Although this might make the game a bit more complicated.
Yeah...it would be fun if you could complete some of the objectives with players online...but at least you can play with a friend on XBOX and PS2 on the campaign.
Or more accurately, lose online because some n00b wants to play as a Jedi for the whole mission.
Excellant findings, I'll have to admit. Pandemic must have been on the coffee again.
Galactic Conquest:
Birth of the Rebellion is the campaign where you start off as the Rebel Allinance. You start off with Dagobah, Yavin 4, and your base, Hoth.
The Confederate Uprising gives you control of the droid army of the CIS. Geonosis is your base, and you also start off with Utapau and Mustafar.
Republic Sovereignity puts you in command of the Republic Forces. Your base planet is Kamino and you also control Naboo and Coruscant at the start of the game.
Dark Reign of the Empire lets you command the miltary might of the Galactic Empire. Endor is your base planet with Coruscant and Mustafar also under Imperial control.
Points for taking over planets:
Energy Boost (200) - Causes your enemy guage to replinish faster after being depleted
Garrison (200) - Extra Troops if your force drops to low
Auto Turrets (200) - Automatically reinforces your command posts with defensive grid turrets.
Bacta Tanks (400) - Causes health to automatically generate over time
Supplies (400) - Increases the amount of ammo you can carry
Combat Shielding (400) - Gives your units an extra reverse of health upon entering the battlefield
Sabotage (600) - Causes all enemy vehicles to suffer damage upon spawning it
Enhanced Blaster (600) - Amplifies the damage of your blasters
Leader (800) - Activates your teams faction playable hero for the planetary battles
You have to conquer all 13 planets to win the Conquest of the army.
Wow, 13 planets in GC...thats pretty sweet
when none complete the Objectives does the CPU control Jedi?
You're the only one who can control the Jedi of your team in the Story Mode.
A link for BF II (says XBOX, but applies to all)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=908418)
But if you buy Faction Leader
You have to unlock it trough objectives either?
No, the objectives only appear in the Campaign, not in instant action multiplayer, or I believe Galactic Conquest. So if you buy faction leader, I guess the hero goes to the highest scoring player, or the lowest scoring depending on how it's set up.
It would make sense if the objectives would be in Glactic Conquest....anyway for the videos I have seen from BF II, the game looks preety fun. Here's a link to a video for BF II (from g4tv.com)
http://www.g4tv.com/videos/index.html?video_key=9769)
Yeah, objectives would make sense, but I think they kind of limit the player, it works for the campaign but not so much for IA or galactic conquest. I think it would be cool if they added the objectives in single player, and just made victory less reliant on them. There could still be ackleys on Felucia in single player, you don't have to kill them but it sure makes life easier.
And I can't see the video you link to for some reason, I click the "watch this video" link, and the window pops up but the video does not appear. Oh well the games almost out, soon we won't need videos to know what it's like.
Yeah...Acklays could still be on Felucia even in GC and IA....and the AT-TE. Well, you could type in the website
www.g4tv.com) (sorry can't post a link..in a hurry) and see if that works.
WOW!The level at the Jedi Temple really looks great. Can't wait to play it :D
So if you unlock him? you can play as the faction leader:D
Edit:Does Someone have a Video of Deflecting Blastershots as a jedi does it look stylish....very important to me if it is stylish game= Awesome
WOW!The level at the Jedi Temple really looks great. Can't wait to play it :D
I agree the Jedi Temple looks fantastic :twogun:
I agree the Jedi Temple looks fantastic :twogun:
that is in the story mode only! its about when order 66 been given out.
Ah yes, I'm really looking forward to that scenario, it should be fun to wipe out the jedi once and for all...
Although it is for story mode only as you said, so you sadly probably won't be able to fight as the jedi, or even play it online with other players unfortunetly.
only jedi you become is anakin in the jedi temple, slaying all the younglings :(
You can also become Darth Maul (okay okay he's a Sith, but so was Anikan a.k.a Darth Vader when he attacked the temple) in Instant action, fineally living out his lifelong dream... The only jedi will probably be Mace Windu, hero for the rebublic in instant action, and maybe somebody you have to fight in the campaign.
I doubt they could get away with letting you kill younglings though, probably just unidentified jedi knights.
well if having anakin kill little younglings...ESRB wont like it.
Luke Skywalker is also playable in the Jedi Temple...in IA.
Oh yeah, in GCW I forgot the jedi temple was playable during that time period.
The Jedi/Sith playable in the Jedi Temple in Instant Action are:
Empire - Darth Vader
Republic - Mace Windu
Rebels - Luke Skywalker
CIS - Darth Maul
woow...wait...what about tyranus...or the rest of sith/jedi for that matter?...i think it should b like this:
Republic - Aylaa Secura, Ki Adi, Mace, Obi Wan, Yoda
Empire - Vader, Sidous
Rebel Scum - Luke
CIS - Tyranus, Anakin (u know what i mean), Maul
my point of view...for IA it should depend on the planet don't u think?
There's only one hero per side per map.
yeah i know...that's why i'm saying it...lol!...and WTF mate!!!!?!?!? can't play the jedi at temple!? that's serioulsy screwed up!!! :P i wanna kill them sure...but also play em a couple of times
Well...more info:
-Space Endor is avaliable in GC and IA
-No Space Naboo, Bespin or Rhen Var
-Jango Fett does have his trademark, dual pistols
-Yavin IV, Mos Eisley, and Endor (from BF1) are the same, except for graphic changes
-No Space Naboo, Bespin or Rhen Var
Those were some of the best maps! How dare they! *seeks revenge*
Yes, I know it was all but confirmed that Bespin and Rhen Var wouldn't be in BF2, but still....
By the way, where did you learn of this?
Jango doesn't have duel pistols, at least not in the beta or in any screen I've seen. Hope they changed it though...
Can someone clear something up for me? Will Jedi have unlimited time limits in IA, and will you have to unlock special classes (commander, jettrooper) in singleplayer as well? Or is it all customisable?
Bespin gone, curse them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rhen Var gone, seek and destroy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though I knew this, it still peeves me off!
They should put in space levels for the Death Star and you have to destroy or defend in IA, GC, campaign just pumble the rebel starfighters and cruisers.
Those were some of the best maps! How dare they! *seeks revenge*
Yes, I know it was all but confirmed that Bespin and Rhen Var wouldn't be in BF2, but still....
By the way, where did you learn of this?
I have my sources.......other websites.....forums.....game producers....I agree about those maps being the best.
Jango doesn't have duel pistols, at least not in the beta or in any screen I've seen. Hope they changed it though...
I think he does...I am not 100% sure.
