Dark Lady Mara posted:So, I've gotten sucked back into BF2. Sigh. Thought I finally had this addiction kicked, then I suddenly started having cravings for it, and now I'm playing more days than not again. If I've got to be hooked on a game, I should've at least found one that wasn't so glitchy and crap. I don't know if the eventual BF3 will be a good or bad thing for my addictive personality.
Commander_Ducky posted: I think the medic should work something along the lines of the medic in TF2. One 'weapon' heals people [but not himself], one weapon is offensive but not super powerfull. HE should slowly heal himself constantly [not very much though]. I think that is the perfecty medic class.

Lord-Krill posted:I can't wait till the new star wars battle front 3 comes out. I wish they would release it already. From what they say you can go from space to land and vice versa. I would also like to see more hero's as well plus a building up rank like on call of duty games as well as armor and weapon upgrades. That would be nice. Plus more planets and such as well as able to command certain functions onboard capital ships, mainly fleet deployments and such.
Lord-Krill posted:I saw some talk about some people still playing battle front 2. Does anyone else still do that? and does any one know if you can still go online with the games even though some now have a 360 or ps3. If it does we should ban together sometime and take the fight onto the screen with massive war outbreak.
Lord-Krill posted:Not sure if this helps but here's something. On September 29, 2006, Computer and Video Games (CVG) magazine claimed that Free Radical Design was developing the game, however, neither Free Radical Design nor LucasArts have officially announced this project to be Star Wars: Battlefront III. A "Secret LucasArts Project" was also listed on the Free Radical Design website soon thereafter. Kotaku, a video game blog, allegedly received information from a former LucasArts employee that Star Wars: Battlefront III, along with other rumored games, were in the creation process. Later on July 8, 2008, Star Wars: Battlefront III was listed on Amazon.com as being released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable on March 15, 2009 but the listing was later removed. On October 2, 2008, OLFC listed Star Wars: Battlefront III for the Nintendo DS with a PG rating for mild animated violence. The classification had been filed by Activision Blizzard. On December 28, 2008, renders of Star Wars characters surfaced from a laid off employee of Free Radical, bearing the Star Wars Battlefront III watermark. Further leaked artwork hints that a dark-side rendition of Obi-Wan Kenobi may be featured in the game. A former employee of Free Radical Design later sat down to an interview with IGN. Regarding the technology to seamlessly travel from air to space the ex-employee stated, "It's dead. The stuff in the video of going from the ground to air to space to orbit is the tech that is dying with us". Free Radical Design announced that they lost the rights to develop Star Wars: Battlefront III in October 2008, prior to them going into administration. The game had been in development for two years. A company spokesperson on the official Pandemic Studios Internet forum refuted speculation that they had taken over the project in March of 2009, saying that "the title seems to be up in the air." Later, rumors surfaced that pointed Rebellion Studios as assuming the development of Battlefront III, after the closure of Free Radical Design. Several months later, the spin off of the series, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, was announced. The PSP version of the game was made by Rebellion Studios, while N-Space developed the Nintendo DS version. Leaked footage On January 15, 2009, gameplay footage was leaked from a Free Radical in-house showing from November 2008. It showed seamless ground to space maps, new units, maps, and faster overall gameplay, and was branded with the Free Radical Design logo. The leaked footage and pictures revealed that the engine of Battlefront III was graphically far superior to its predecessors. Furthermore the footage featured cutscenes and appeared to place more emphasis on storyline elements while still retaining the trademark style of gameplay. The footage was later pulled on IGN after Lucas Arts demanded it be removed, being "the intellectual property of Lucasfilm and [has] been posted without permission." The footage bears striking resemblance to the Lucasarts' spin-off project, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, in its land-to-space transitions and character cast.
