luke - so how is it then that Petroglyph has been given free reign over how the campaigns go in EaW? After all, if this game was supposed to be pure film based, how could you have the Rebellion still on Dantooine when the Empire arrives? As for modd...  [Read More]

Well, actually i'm not a little kid, i'm actually 20 and at uni. Having said that, I admit i do enjoy CGI. :) Also, luke is right, that is the particular scene I was talking about, as I said, I knew he was bad, but not quite that bad. Finally, I wo...  [Read More]

Hi guys. I was lucky enough to get preview tickets for Ep3 and lets just say I was blown away! Although you may know i'm a bigger fan of the Saga than the OT, Revenge of the Sith is seriously one of the greatest films I've seen. Even though i'm not...  [Read More]

Very unlikely. Apart from not seeing any in the films apart from Jedi, it just doesnt fit with the sort of combat that is portrayed in the films - besides, melee fighters would get ripped to shreds against blaster-armed opponents....  [Read More]

Cheech - hardly. Sure - Patton, Guderian etc were excellent Armour Generals, but did they achieve their successes without Infantry? No, and there is no way they could have. Regardless of whether you think Infantry supports Armour or Armour supports I...  [Read More]

This is exactly why there should be a smaller number of units in the game rather than the approach Petroglyph seem to be taking of "if it was in EU or the films, we'll include it". Infantry are historically the cheapest and most versitile m...  [Read More]

I agree, although there are other problems. In addition to the lack of infantry, there is also a glaring lack of diversity in infantry (ie there seems to be only one infantry unit) and far too many vehicles, like Imperial Hover-tanks, of course in ad...  [Read More]

Thank you, thank you (bows) I thought it would be an...interesting April Fools joke, if somewhat cruel to some of the more pro-PT fans. Still, hopefully sometime soon Lucasarts will announce it for real, but for now, glad you enjoyed the joke :)...  [Read More]

Actually Nitro might be onto a good idea here. Rather than having generals like in C&C:GZH, how about a KotOR-style system where when you begin the game you create a unique general? In this way, you could create what the General's name and looks...  [Read More]

Actually I think it's a great idea. Having created my own version of a sequel to SWGB I had about 4 'Commanders' per side which were unique, but not to the point of C&CGZH where units get deleted and whatnot. With just two sides though, this woul...  [Read More]

luke - I don't see how, after all you're not really re-balancing the original two against the new two as you are balancing the new two against the old two. Also, with the Empire having at least one Republic unit (Assault Ship) it would actually seem...  [Read More]

Getting back to the topic at hand, the easiest way to add the Republic and CIS would be to give them a different 'age' to fight in, so they dont interact with the Empire and Rebellion, but also allow a 'free-for-all' where anyone can fight anyone. O...  [Read More]

Dragonball/Eagle - Yes, but that example is of when flight was only beginning to be used militarily. On the flip side, could an F-14 take on any other fighter in the world? Yes (apart from the F/A-22) and yet they were in service in 1975! Realistical...  [Read More]
