As a good point, the new DT can cut off his jump pack in mid flight. Great for "Dive bombing" right into the middle of a crowd instead of over it. Takes many by surprise and is good for precision landings. Yeah, and nearly every weapon mod...  [Read More]

For me, it's hard to say, as I rarely use them. I'm dissapointed there is so little variety in vehicle-based levels though, but not majorly as they are now support weapons or meat shields, which I kinda like. Good old IFT-X. Best bit of Eu in the ga...  [Read More]

My brother is brilliant as that. BTW, just a thought. I wish that if you go crouch or GO PRONE (someone put that in for snipers, at least!) you should not be able to fall off ledges. After playing UT2k4, you'd be surprised how useful I find that....  [Read More]

I think it's important to at least know the levels inside and out, including 'sweet spots' and chokepoints and against AI, you get an idea of what could be going on, if not whether they'll do it or not as humans. Get a feel for each weapon and the w...  [Read More]

Well, as compensation, the V wing is actually the only bomber that can dogfight. It's very fast, small, high HP for it's size and it's blaster is pretty powerfull at close range and it's a "shotgun" effect, so is more likely to get a hit....  [Read More]

CIS rule in many aspects. They're the strongest side when it comes to chokepoints, which many BF levels have, with destroyers and maganaguard rockets, heck even SBD rockeets, you can spam corridors like Polis massa easily. They get Darth Maul, who i...  [Read More]

I'm decent at that level. It's important to take agressive action FAST! I love BF2 in that it encourages me to headshot with machine guns. The quicker you can kill something, the slower they will kill you. When you die, check if someone's nicking y...  [Read More]

Not when doing so would mean your team loose the space battle. I'm thinking Geonosis would be better than Endor though, as the ultimate objective is KILL EVERYONE! So you would even get the chance to fly the AT-TE-carrying Gunship variant down to th...  [Read More]

When you run a server, you have to run a map, obviously. That Endor design is basically two maps in one (unless they did a really cool workaround, like the Mothership UT2k4 level). The current BF method would hog bandwidth like anything. Would you ge...  [Read More]

Saying that, you should get laughed at if you can get killed by a bomber continously. First shot from one should tell you to run away, heal, turn, then unload everything you've got into the bugger. Nod are an organisation in Command and Conquer btw....  [Read More]

Cars can cross water. As can planes, if you take the angle right. So can 18-wheelers. Depends on the depth of water. Even fleas can if it's "just" right. Oh fung this water crap! On topic. I want decent weapon models. I don't care if they...  [Read More]

TK, I don't believe in futile arguments, it's why I don't vote. Let's just say that Pandemic are a console game company. Also, someone's probably going to suggest something lame like "OMFG SHOTGUN TOO POWERFUL!" and then the 100MB 1.01 pa...  [Read More]

TK, you do realise that SWBF doesn't try to fit everything anal in. Otherwise Why do they still use the 'Clone Tank' even though it's never used in the films? Heck, the Empire use it more than the AT-ST! Blargh, arguing over Star Wars is like a man t...  [Read More]

The easiest way to get awards is not to play seriously. Just set up Hoth or Geonosis with no AI to practice demolitions, for example. If you're good at bombing, then space levels are excellant for getting all the way up to "War Hero". Kamin...  [Read More]

I'm going to have to plug my geonosis idea in the "Endor map idea" thread though. That'd make a brilliant SP level, because you could supervise each stage (e.g, make the first drpoship landings, secure the geonosian arena, drop down AT-TE's...  [Read More]

In hindsight, overall, the SP challenges were pretty lame. I think they need a bit more "substance". WTF is with those infinate-spawing rebels? It's something to add to BF3, more variety in missions and more missions that don't involve you...  [Read More]
