I was just wondering if everyone thinks underwater battles are a good idea. I like the idea of it. Like it could be underwater on Naboo and the CIS could be attcking the Gungan City, so there would be some dry land fighting also.
I'd like it, I remember on the Clone Wars cartoon on Mon Calamari the space battle. But not very many levels though.
Yeah, I REALLY hope they have at least a few underwater battles.
I think this is a great idea... I'd love to have an underwater battle, and I'd like to be able to swim this time... That's one thing that bothers me in SWBF2, you can't swim... You just walk at the bottom and drown...
Yeah, but the CIS shouldn't be able to go anywhere underwater besides in a vehicle and inside whatever other base is underwater.
The CIS already don't drown or suffocate. There should be a special class that can go outside of bases, but only that one class.

Uh, wrong? Any unit (except droidekas - possibly, because of a special droideka-only parameter) takes damage underwater. And there's no such thing as "suffocation" - Polis Massa just has a damage region set up so that droid healthtypes don't take damage.
But I for one would love to see some real water - right now all we have is a glorified hardcoded damage region.
I think at Gametoast there's and underwater battle map you can download. I tried it out and thought is was good, but the jetpacks don't work well for some reason.
Nice idea DE. I would play it.

Ooh, could you give a link?

Are you serious?
M@RS: I'll visit the site again, soon.

Last time I checked, if the Clone Wars cartoon was canon, droids don't suffocate underwater...

Thank You :D
Okay, since one of you guys asked for a link this is the download location here (

Scoll down and click on the link to download. Have fun!
I wish I could play it. I have it for Xbox...

If it wasn't for BF2, I'd say it. Since I didn't say that, it is for BF2.
Oh yeah, how do you guys like the map?
It's nice, but the jetpacks aren't very good... It wasn't how I thought it'd be, but it's still fun :p
I know how you feel about the jetpacks - maybe they short circuit underwater :lol:. I also think that cp 1 (I think) is not capturable; I think the creator did this so there would be Quarren to fight (since the Quarren spawn from there).
Are there any videos on Youtube that show that map? It sounds pretty cool...I really wish I could play it...
Please, don't rub it in...
^ What are you talking about?
Yeah, really...What ARE you talking about???
Please don't rub in the fact that you guys have live (or you just play the pc version) and I don't.
I only have the Xbox Star Wars Battlefront. I sold my Xbox and now have an Xbox 360. I HAVE a good PC, I just don't have many PC games.
I think the underwater lvls should be like a spacebattle in BFII.
You mean like when Obi and Qui-gon go to the planet core on Naboo?

what, slow, empty feeling and completely reliant on bombers?
Water gets shallow, why would it have to be in only deep water? What if a land level had an area where you fought underwater.
Such as Mon Calamari! Republic starts on the Cruisers on the surface and the CIS are in the Quarren outpost.
Precisely what I meant. Kinda like that episode of the original Clone Wars TV series.
I will be even more happy to buy SWBF III if it has underwater battles, that would be so cool!!!
Last time I checked, if the Clone Wars cartoon was canon, droids don't suffocate underwater...
I was talking about a game mechanic, not about what showed up in a TV show.
What I mean is two giant command posts and underwater vehicles who are generelly fighting each other. Maybe you could add some underwater tunnels for some man to man combat...
I'll be happy if Star Wars Battlefront III at least comes out...

Kit Fisto would have to be the republic hero obviously. Also there could have scuba-troopers, which would be awesome!!
I'd like scuba-troopers... :D That'd be awesome... :)

Real quick in your sig... It gives a link and says to sign up to give you points? What can you do with those points?
Gawd people are getting bad at bumping these days... I had no idea anyone still cared about this idea.
Ain't a fan of it TBH, BF1 had the K.I.S.S principle. Fighting in 3 dimensions would just overcomplicate matters!
Keep it short and sweet ftw.
Just like your visits to these forums redtech :p
Ever heard of COBRA Sales + Marketing?
@LordOfTheFish- Gotta do what you can to keep these boards alive bro. Seeing as there isn't anything new to start a thread with, may as well expand on some old but slightly interesting ones until something new leaks out.
COBRA sales? Sounds like GI Joe's worst enemy!
You know what I want? BF3 to kick Killzone's arse. Could you imagine a dark shooter that has a style like that? I'd have a heart attack seeing an SBD with that kind of hardware.
And no Jedi plzthx.

Indeed.
I think we've all agreed that Jedi detract from the original purpose and fun of the game.

It's a point that still needs to be forced (pardon the pun!)
No underwater battles in my opinion. Keep it land battles, air battles and space battles. Unless you talk about walking through swamps, lakes, rivers then that is cool.
I like having heroes in the game to play as. Why don't you guys?
I don't like the SWBF 1 heroes though. Those were awful.

Corrected.
The thing is, that SWBF is a SHOOTER GAME!
That's right.
Guns.
Shooting.
Jawas.
You play as a no-name grunt, fighting no name grunts in the Star Wars Universe. Do you know how many games exist that have you playing as a Jedi and pwning? Almost all. Why can't the other aspects of the universe be depicted in a reasonably interesting way. Hell, Republic Commando was so popular that it got a book trilogy.
Other games show Jedi in a far more interesting light rather than "hold down the attack button and kill people by walking into them". Force Unleashed and KOTOR are particularly spectacular examples, and in BF2 especially they stand out and dominate far too easily, to the point that it feels more like I'm waiting to take my turn as Darth Maul, rather than concentrating or caring about learning to play properly.
As for non-jedi heros, they're amusing, but they're not interesting enough to really make a difference compared to getting the elite weapons(and I'm discounting General Asthma in this argument) and they're more fanservice than anything IMHO.
What I really want to see is the K.I.S.S principle taken to a logical conclusion: make a game indepth not by adding complication, but by making the individual classes all the more satisfying to play as.

Every Star Wars game these days happen to have a lighsaber in it. Jedi don't have to be everywhere, we are meant to play as grunts.
