In BF III it would be cool to add KOTOR wars in it, like The Manalorian Wars and the battle of Rakata Prime, but looks like the majority of you guys would like it to stick with the original Star Wars movies, that's still awsome. And i guess it would be kind of weird, fighting in a KOTOR war with the BF fighting simulator.

Climbing trees and on that topic, poles and such objects would be pretty cool, but you wouldnt be able to shoot and you would climb reletively slow.

If you did fall after being shot a number of times, then you'd never get up, and if you didn't fall after being shot, then you would undoubtedly be killed half way up. It's a stupid idea.

Well you would die anyway if you got shot a certain number of times. I guess I mean if you get shot so much you health meter runs out than in stead of just lying flat on a pole dead you scream while you fall maybe even on somebody and hurt them a little bit :hoops1: .

yes, yes, yes!! Oh ere's another thing kind of already mentioned.

You are an oridianry soldier. Uh oh! Darth Vader! Kill him. You can shoot him alone or you can (new feature for BF3) gather up your squad and call open fire on Darth Vader while you handle or the other guys!

mabey on some maps yoou could be a commando sargent and lead a squad of commando privats around the battle field capturing key locations and destroying certain things or people. It would be for the top 4 players on each side, and they would be armed with emp launchers grenades blaster rifels blaster pistols jet packs health ammo fusion cutters mines and interchangable HUD displays. :twogun:

if its too much for one commando to carry one could have the mines dets ant rocket launcher, another maybe has fussion cutter health ammo blaster pistol and so on but it would be cool if they had a deployable e-web ooo or 3 recon droids. or a time bomb with a 10 sec timer that has the explosive power of 1000 mines! :fire3: :launcher: :ang3: :fire3: :fire2:
Also on space levels there should be space commandos that can have super jet packs and can walk on the outside of enemy ships planting mines or tearing down the wall to let air escape and if the life support system is broken the enemy gets sucked into space until another space commando fixes the life support.

On the 1000 mines thing you could be in yor ship and carry the big bomg (1000 mines) and you land in the enemy hangar and your ship will detonate then grab another ship and get the hel out of there! It could be a hydrogen bomb (spelling?)

The space-trooper people from the clones wars animated series for space battles. Would be interesting to fight droids on top of their own ships and vice versa.

And the noobs would still get this, the noob order of battle is this
1. get tank
2. spawn camp
3 get hero
4 spawn camp

add in the 4 commandos and its
1. get tank
2. spawn camp
3 get hero/commandos
4 spawn camp

If you were climbing, you would have the blaster pistol equipped if your troop has one, troops without the pistol would be unarmed. If YOU were climbing a ladder with stormtroopers blasting away at you, YOU would have a pistol equipped and YOU would be shooting at them. What idiot would climb something while unarmed with an entire army underneath. You would have a weapon no matter what action your performing like in Splinter Cell. i WOULD nOT go anywhere in BF without a weapon equipped, even if I was a vanguard I would scout out vehicles, use mines on them and use the last mine on a trooper in a suicide bombing.

What about if soldiers had a stun mode on their blaster rifle as seen in A New Hope when they captured Princess Leia.

What about a bounty hunter mode! You would choose the clone wars or galactic civil war and then choose a bounty hunter like Jango for clone wars and Boba for the gcw. then you would go on a campaign to capture important characters like Chewbacca, Leia, R2, Ben Kenobi, etc. You would have like 10 weapons, five can kill, other 5 are lesslethal like the stun mode on a blaster rifle or a cable to tie up your enemies.

MAybe you could have the commando thing where you are leading a group of commandos on mission mode. so you are the only four so you have to be able to fight like an entier army. :twogun: :blast5: :vsd: Or just have the commando free noobs on levels that don't have tanks and don't have heros at all. And I don't think stun mode would be good because it would be no fun lying powerless on the ground while somebody shoots you.:blast5:

Im sorry newfie and fett, but your ideas really aren't battlefront about the bounty hunter thing and commando thing. While they sound fun, they would be better suited for a different type of game. The core of battlefront and battlefield games is, being the grunt. Your not the commando who kills everyone and single handedly destroys the enemy, your the guy who received normal training along with everyone else. You don't have a back story, your just a clone or a droid or a guy wearing plastic, maybe a guy wearing camo. In the movies, your aim sucks if your a plastic or droid. The battlef... series is not RC or RtCW and it should stay that way, like real wars.

On the topic of stun gun things, I wouldn't like it but if they were to be put in, I would hope they would follow Red Faction 2s example of the shock grenade where your vision jolts around and everything is inverted, moving the mouse up moves your vision down and pressing foreword makes you go back wards, your at a disadvantage but you can still fight back.

Well what if the stun function was an award for doing something special like getting 20 headshots with a blaster rifle or getting 4 kills with a thermal detonator at once?

About the bounty hunter thng, in the PSP version, you play four missions as a bounty hunter so it would kind of be BF style.

You know what SWBF 3 needs is the ability to upgrade and choose which weapons you want to carry in to battle before each battle begins. Everything from guns to grenades to medpacks and misc.
You should be able to:
Carry 2 diffrent kinds of upgradable guns (in battle) :twogun:
Carry 2 diffrent kinds of accessories - you pick (in battle)
more weapon choices (guns and grenades)
Smarter, harder AI (make us work for the victory)
Switch rules of game so that even if your reinforcments run out and you are still alive that the game goes till the last human player is dead
Game should continue to track your progress and promote you as you work through it, which unlocks more weapons and accessories which you need to buy to be able to use and then can upgrade
Harder terrains or battle areas that prevent more of a challenge
More promotable levels (to go with weapon and accessory upgrades)

I allready mentioned something like that. "Maybe you could have something like when you enter a battle you could: start out with 1000 credits, choose your soldier, then on the pause menu you can buy wepons and when you kill units or capture a comand post, you can go to a certain area like a base and get better wepons. But you can only have a certain amount of wepons, depending on the value of the wepon.
It might not work but it might be fun."

FettsComander:

You play Counterstrike, yes? Wait, that's a game where you need skill to get good. Hmm, BF3 could do with some of that, rather than just playing as Darth Maul and hogging a narrow corridor.

I don't really want Jedi in the new BF, they sure as hell didn't win the clone wars, and I doubt Luke Blew up the Death Star II!

But I'm not sure about no Jedi- just make them a whole lot less "noob friendly" as... I think MachineCult put it expertly, and overall less powerful. Oh yeah, not to mention HARDER TO GET. I swear, on some levels as soon as I get a hero, I get him again as soon as I die.

Well, I have to say that getting new and better weapons during a battle is not a good idea. There is such a thing as "unit balance", and it's a good thing. Battlefront II was already easy enough, so it shouldn't be made even easier with more powerful weapons.

And besides, each unit specializes in a certain field of battle. For instance, Sharpshooters are best at sniping, but wouldn't be too good on the front lines. One class can't be good with all types of weapons, as that would kinda make you an unstoppable force.

Or have a mode like training where you have the map to yourself you have all the wepons and there are cardboard targets standing around some moving some not.
 Daft Adidas
01-16-2007, 2:30 PM

yes. that's the way you can learn about the game and play with all the weapons and how to use them. Carboard maybe not coz this is Star Wars and it would probably be holoimages or fake droids.

Yeah, we've had that idea before... in the form of "The great weapons looting idea wars". And there actually is a setting in Battlefront II where you can set so that you only get the Jedi once.
