Can you change the number of reinforcements or the number of bots, or both, in single player?

I bought it today (UK highstreet) and its.....

AWESOME!!!!

System:
Athlon XP3200 1Gb RAM

Settings:
Maxxed Out (1280x960) full on!

Runs like a dream - well, when it isn'r crashing to desktop all the time...... :( :( :(

Jedi mode is great if a little fiddly to start with.

Tantive Map is small but sweet. http://www.lucasforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif) Can't wait to do the Death Star.

Only thing annoying me so far is: What do I press for screenshots?... 'PrintScrn' just captures to clipboard.

GAME (http://shop.game.net/) (but in a highstreet store).

If it's an error, they'll probably pull it by tomorrow morning... I actually said to the guy - "This is on pre-order, right?" and he replied "No... it's in stock and on sale now".

I bought it straight away... once he'd helped me back on to my feet! http://www.lucasforums.com/images/icons/icon10.gif)

Well only fraps seems todo the screenshot job.Havnґt found an ingame key to take screenies.
The first screenshot i posted over at gametoast shows the deathstar minimap. Think about the prison area from EPIV plus the shaft.
Machinecult, iґm german not british so i got it from german online dealer.

Corellian corvette? You mean the blocade runner thingy? I donґt believe you can fly it. Havnґt tried to board it yet but donґt think itґs possible.

Not pics so much as information. I bet nobody who has the game now played the beta beforehand. Am I right?

I'd like to know what they fixed or changed... I mean I'll find out myself within a week but still... for those of us not rushing out to buy the game the second it becomes available, some more info would be nice. ;)

Kurgan,
remember the Gametoast beta buglist i posted? Well most bugs were multiplayer but i havnґt played much online yet because only a handfull guys are able to play online yet on home servers only.

But from the suggestions in the list i can say that i havnґt seen any changes in the final game yet.

There is only space coruscant in campaign and i have only played geonosis in training.

Oh yeh and on campaign utapau is a bit different from the beta, two commmand posts are in different places and there is a big communications thing.

And the stardestroyers are bigger than in the beta, or im going insane.

No gunships on geonosis only infantry, atte, spider, hailfire.

And there is a weird skybox issue on geonosis, maybe its my pc?

Same commander on geonosis, the thing that makes it even worse is that they bothered to put in a new clone commander on campaign when empire have to fight rogue clones.

AI is improved, but maul is on mustafar instead of anakin .

Kamino is changed a bit.

Empire Vs. Republic forces, yay!

So did they get rid of the gunships thinking the Republic had too much of an advantage on Geonosis? Lame. They should just have given the CIS better transports to compensate. Oh well... hopefully we'll get decent mod tools! :P

And the AT-AT is nerfed even further? Yikes.

Well anyway, most of the world will be getting the game soon enough, they'll be servers to play on.

But for the meantime you guys with the game have no excuse. Use a batch file and you can test out everything by yourself, with bots or with a handful of humans by hosting... Check out the server administration thread for details!

I just got the game for Xbox (GAME UK) so I'd be willing to answer some questions as well.

It's miles better than the first game. Although I'm confused why it's Maul on Mustafar- it really pulls you out of an immersive battle!

And yes, I've played the BETA, and while it could be that I'm playing on the Xbox instead of a PC that doesn't fit the specs it really has improved graphical effects. The controls are good on an Xbox pad as well. Although it's better than the beta, it is pretty similar to it.

It looks like it should be. Itґs not a that big effect but looks better than JKA. Well the deflected blasterfire goes in every direction very unlikely you can send it back to your enemy.

Yes Rebels got the clone Gunship. Well i donґt have a problem with that because why not? They donґt have such transport craft so it isnґt that unlikely that they used old outdated stuff.

And no coruscant Space in Instand action or Mulityplayer. Itґs campaign only
