    Great news. I just hope they include a limitation for Jedi players online, otherwise there will be just Jedi vs Sith battles. 2 or 3 Jedi per army are more than enough.

    I am glad they use the same engine. I loved BF's graphics.

    I hope they include a map creator. This would be really nice.

    There should be a custom mode for battle front 2. The player should should have the option of customizing or creating thier own character. For example, if someone want's to be a clone trooper, they could customize his armor with camoflauge templates to help hide them in thier surroundings.

    And for God's sake, give the female rebel a voice!!!

    Also, they need to include creatures like the Reek, Nos monster or Rancor on certain stages to keep player's on thier guard.

    I've heard the AI in the game is pathetic, almost as bad as Battlefield. Is that true?

    The AI is Battlefront is WAY better than the AI in Battlefield 1942. If you try Battlefront and then play Battlefield 1942 right afterwords, you will notice a huge difference.

    It's okay AI. Your squad does follow your orders for the most part.

    I think Brothers In Arms has the best AI currently.

    LOL. I hardly think the Amazing Suicidal Elite Corps is a good demonstration of AI. Halo 2's AI was alright, but it had nothing on the big lads. You want real AI, go for Far Cry. Top stuff..... ;)

    wow. I make the thread, come back, and it's on page 6.

    It's even funnier that it's gone this far and some firmly believe battlefront sux.

    :p

    I think the game could use more maps. That would make it alot better.

    Adding teh episode 3 maps would fix half of what's wrong with the game.

    [I really liked battlefront]

    Sucidal? Me thinks I smell another newb playing it on easy mode. Taking cover when you're shields are down is hardly suicidal. The way they work on Legendary is almost a thing of beauty. I have four of them hiding behind crates pounding at my shields, while a fifth with a melee weapon is inching forward, moving from box to box 'till he finally kills me.

    The only real problems I had with BF1 is :

    A)The difficulty level was way to low. Playing on hard was the equivalent of playing easy on any other game.
    B) Map size. Bigger maps would be awsome especially all-space battles.
    C) More vehicles. Need more.
    D)A.I. Friendly and enemy A.I was weak. Notch that up add that with bigger maps, harder level of difficulty, more ships and then we have a good game. There was other crap I'd like to see in it but thats already in my other post.

    And for the Person who asked the realease date, its Nov. 1st 05.

    I assume you meant no insult. I'm a serious gamer, I never play any game on anything less than the hardest (except Doom 3, where Nightmare diffciulty is easier than Hard).

    As for Halo 2 - sorry mate, but AI taking cover when vulnerable and supporting each other was perfected back in Half Life 1. It's nothing new. When I refer to suicidal, I meant the Elite's weird habit of either hurling plasma grendes at me when I'm almost on top of them - and then standing still while I scarper, getting themselves blown up - or the hilarious "suicidal rage" maneuver - where an elite growls, then dives off the nearest cliff/walkway edge.

    Compare that to Far Cry, where the AI actually enages in feints, deceptions, true air support (where the helicopter relays your position to ground units), ambushes, distractions..... It's some of the finest AI I've ever seen. Certainly better than Halo 2's suicide squads ;)

    The Female Rebel had a voice. It was male, the same as the rebel soldier.

    That would depend. Difficulty fluxuates by map and side. Some maps on hard are ****ing tough and you have to play them 5 or 6 times before you can win as say the Republic.

    I've said it in other threads I'll say it again here. The problem with Battlefront is that it was rushed and stuff was cut and left unpolished.

    This game needs bigger maps, more modes (capture the flag would pwn), improved AI (as Exar said look at FarCry), and it needs a single player campaign.

    The only hard map on there was the Cloud City if you were the Republic. But it was a good game. w

    If they make it, they should add some of the friggin space battles, its just not Star Wars without space battles.

    Myabe they should add more heroes too, like Han Solo, Chewie, Leia, Obi-Wan, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Lando, and other important characters that took place in the battles just not Luke and Vader...and how about the figgin heroes fightin each other on the field.

    I agree, add more of the movie characters like Lando and Plo Koon. Thatd make it seem a lot more like the movies.

    Also, I'd really like to see a geonosis battle revamp. I thought the one in the game (battlefront I) was weak, compared to the intense one in the movie. Put more vehicles and make the levels larger.

    Ok...My friend rented "Battle of Naboo". I watched him play it. From his word of mouth and watching HIM play. I saw that it wasn't even worth the effort to pick up the joystick. Got it? Or do you need me to use smaller words? I'm sorry I forgot to state that I only watched my friend play.

    Compared to X-wing, Tie Fighter, X-wing vs. Tie Fighter, X-wing alliance, Dark forces, and Jedi Knight series. Lucas arts games have gone down hill in quality. BIG TIME! In those games I don't remember it crashing once everytime I played it.

    There is no way I'm going to buy Star Wars Battlefront 2. No Way! Its the same game just tweaked alittle plus new levels. The graphics aren't pumped up for the pc end at all. They can't even put a Star Destroyer Hanger in the right place. It should be an add-on/ expansion pack. A new game title means better engine,graphics,AI, over all new and better look.

    The only cool thing that sounds good from the new game is the level where you board a ship and take it over. But I'm not paying $50 dallors for that.

    Yes Star Wars Battlefront is like a drug and fun. But not when it crashes on you every other round. You guys have been Jedi Mind tricked!
