Just so everyone is aware, in stock FoC the AI has fog of war turned off, and can apparently spawn units after you retreat from a battle, even on medium difficulty. I know that there is a way to turn fog of war off, but I'm not sure if the spawning u...  [Read More]

I would say if there was a Republic Commando sequel, we need some of the characters from the novels (Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, General Etain Tur-Mukan, and General Bardan Jusik) to appear. Either that or we could play as Omega Squad. (Another squad, fr...  [Read More]

I think Scorch was originally meant to say something like: "Easier than a drunk Twi'lek." However, it was cut from the game. The text files for the subtitles are still there, I think. I guess ole' Walon Vau was teaching the Deltas more tha...  [Read More]

For that part, I usually tell the lads to occupy those sniping positions after they save the ammo crates, and try to set a charge on the SBD dispenser. I find that the Elite bugs show up a few seconds after you start setting the charge on the dispens...  [Read More]

As for that Kal Skirata quote, remember that he didn't train the Deltas. Walon Vau trained the Deltas, and according to Triple Zero Skirata and Vau didn't get along very well....  [Read More]

By Kashyyk, it just got a bit "meh". Good game, but a variety of missions would have helped. They're a SWAT team, so where's the hostage situation? Son, one thing you never, EVER do is compare the elite clone commandos of the GAR to those...  [Read More]

But if you made the fighters bigger to match the icon, the starships would also have to be bigger, which would mean that in turn, the maps would also have to be (much) bigger as well. In the default version of EaW, the fighters are already too big an...  [Read More]

According to Star Wars "history", didn't the Empire only have a few dozen Defenders scattered throughout the whole galaxy? If they mass-produced them, the Galactic Civil War could have turned out far differently... I'll be sure to keep that...  [Read More]

Don't these same tech books also say that one shot from an Acclamator Cruiser's turbolasers is rated at 200 gigatons? Do they have any idea just how much energy that really is? Just to put things into perspective, the largest atomic bomb ever detonat...  [Read More]

Oh boy, here we go again.... Why don't we just compromise and say they have both shield generators and sensors equipment in those domes? That way both sides will be happy. Hell, I'm perfectly willing to go as far as saying that those are only the shi...  [Read More]

About the Ion Cannon: There is a column of buttons just to the right of the mini-map on the bottom control bar. The top one of these buttons controls the ion cannon. Assuming you have an ion cannon built on the planet's surface, you should be able to...  [Read More]

I'm with Froz. Taking over a Star Destroyer, in which resides a whole Stormtrooper division is no easy task. It does sound more like an Imperial ability but how often will you catch a lone starship? It distracts you away from the main battle. Capt...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Ranre I got 13 right. The one I got wrong was how much ammo is in a clip, it is 100 and that pisses me off because it is 100. :mad: Actually it's 60 rounds per clip, not 100....  [Read More]
