Star Wars Battlefront 3 Speculation, hopes, discussion

For the At-At thing, how bout a large vehicle just sets it on the map.

how bout in maps like Felcuia or Tatoonie, about 3 Rancors appear there and they can chase you and you can kill it. Each Rancor respawns 4-5 minutes. I dont think they should be close together and if they do they should fight each other. There could also be a Bull Rancor which is alot more agressive, stronger, and faster but there should be at least 1 and it should respawn every 10 minutes. There should also be a mutated Rancor which is just a bit weaker than a Bull Rancor. It should be in woodland planets or Korriban (Sith planet)and be rare to see.

Here are some blaster variants that would be cool for unlocking if the game would include such as feature as in the battlefield or call of duty games: (CLICK ON THE PICTURES FOR THE TO-SCALE VERSIONS)

Keep in mind that there are many more variants of these blaster classes. Also keep in mind that I included weapons which are already available to the factions. I forgot to include the blaster carbines. These weapons were found on wookieepedia. Why don't we compile a list of these weapons and continue adding to it?

 

^^That would be really cool to have unlockable weapons like on BF:BC. I wanna get my hands on that Imperial Heavy Repeater... muhahahaha. The rotary blaster would own.

Real life is different. They do it because there is no clear place to land a helocopter and/or because the soldiers need to be inserted into a very specific location. That requires a lot of coordination and patience, something that many, if not most gamers don't have.

It's far easier to just jump out or land the ship. In my opinion, it's just uneccessary. There might be some that would utilize it, but it pretty much would just be a gimmick for most people. And really, when does anyone rappel in Star Wars?

I like your suggestions, but some of them are pretty far-fetched for a video game.

Thats more modern warfare, remember we're in the STAR WARS universe! If you like this type of game then you're better off playing CALL OF DUTY 4 and FARCRY 2

 

On the last one, did you create it using SPORE? Otherwise, great idea for using monsters, would love to see the animals in the arena from EPISODE 2, thatll be so fun! I can't wait for this game!!! 0_o ... I'm not creazy =_=...

 

Well, perhaps the one shot-one kill thing could be implemented in a new mode, maybe called XL or Movie-like or something. and as for units, this is what I'd like to see.


Soldier- (average stats-slightly lower on droids)
Primary: Blaster rifle, blaster pistol
Secondary: thermal detonator (1), fusion cutter(?)


Sniper- (aside from droids, have lower health, but more stamina and speed)
Primary: Sniper Rifle
Secondary: Blaster pistol, Thermal Detonator (1)


Heavy Weapons- (aside from droids, have slightly higher health, but lower stamina and speed)
Primary: Rocket Launcher
Secondary: Mines (2), Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator (1)


Commander- (Takes a few points to unlock, slightly higher health then average except for droids)
Primary: Light Repeating blaster, Commando pistol
Secondary: Thermal Detonator (2), Det Pack (3)


Empire: Soldier=Stormie, Sniper=Scout, Heavy Weapons=Stormtrooper with backpack (not a pauldron), Commander=Imperial Officer like in Battlefront II

Rebels: Soldier=Rebel Soldier, Sniper=Rebel Sniper, Heavy Weapons=Rebel Heavy Weapons, Commander=Rebel Field Commander

CIS: Soldier=B1, Sniper=B1, Heavy Weapons=B1, Commander=OOM Commander droid (like OOM-9 in Episode 1)

Republic: Soldier=Clone Trooper, Sniper=Clone Trooper, Heavy Weapons=Clone Trooper with some sort of backpack, Commander=Clone with Pauldron and Kama


The specials would be...

Rebels: Wookie and Bothan

CIS: Super Battle Droid and Droideka/Magnaguard (depends on map)

Empire: Imperial Jumptrooper (to replace Dark Trooper and be more accurate to canon) and Blackhole Stormtrooper

Republic: Clone Jet Trooper and Republic Commando


Wookie-(Unlockable,higher health and stamina, lower speed)
Primary: Bowcaster
Secondary: Mine (1), Det pack (1), Thermal Detonator (1)


Bothan:-(Unlockable, Lower health, higher stamina, average speed)
Primary: Silent Blaster, Vibro-knife
Secondary: Stealth, Time Bomb (1)


Super Battle Droid-(Unlockable, slightly higher health, Lower speed and stamina)
Primary: Wrist Blaster
Secondary: Wrist Rocket (2)


Droideka-(Unlockable, Lower health, Stamina N/A, Speed in ball from is high)
Primary: Quadruple Blasters
Secondary: Personal Sheild


Magna Guard-(Unlockable, Higher Health and speed, lower stamina)
Primary: Electro-staff
Secondary: Rage(Increases attack damage of you and nearby allies)


Imperial Jumptrooper-(Unlockable, Lower health and speed, higher stamina)
Primary: Light blaster rifle (like in TFU), Flamethrower
Secondary: Thermal Detonator (1)


Blackhole/Shadow/Whatever Stormtrooper-(Unlockable, average stats except slightly higher stamina)
Primary: Stealth E-11, Stealth Blaster Pistol
Secondary: Thermal Detonator (1), Stealth


Clone Jet Trooper-(Unlockable, Lower Health and Speed, higher stamina)
Primary: Light Repeating Blaster, Blaster Pistol
Secondary: Thermal Detonator (1)


Republic Commando-(Unlockable, higher health, lower stamina and speed)
Primary: Commando Blaster Rifle, Commando Pistol
Secondary: Det Pack (1), Thermal Detonator (2)


Note=CIS would be weaker and have worse weapons, but greater numbers. Thermal Detonators become a good bit more powerful and have larger blast radiuses. Det Packs would look less like homemade bombs, and be more compact and advanced-looking. Time bombs would be more powerful, and look like the rebel's charges used to destroy the shield generator on Endor instead of seismic charges.

 

that would be negatory. blasters use tibanna gas ammunition packages that have a limited supply and have to be replaced after a certain number of rounds depending on the gas type and cartridge used.

 

I might as well mention some stuff about skins

Instead of the rank/class issue in the previous battlefronts, the phase I sniper, heavy and engineer clones should base themselves off the republic commando units, sev, scorch and fixer. The phase I rank colours can be given the unlockable classes, as there could be more of them.

For phase II clones it would be better if the skin varied alot on the map rather than having the 501st for all the maps, the clone commander skin would also vary along with the map (cody for utapau, gree for kashyyyk, bacara for mygeeto)

I think the droids are fairly obvious, the battle droids could be made slightly redder for geonosis, and since some of the droids are changing it may make sense to put a varied magnaguard colour.

Rebels can do with a bit more work, in hoth different classes could have different coloured scarves and hoods, and the endor team could be based off the strike team (most of it is already), and the yavin team could be made out of units based in the throne room. Perhaps on other planets it would be nice to see aliens replace human soldiers.

For Empire, the orange pauldron needs to go, orange pauldron stromtroopers are squad leaders, perhaps squad leaders could replace officers in desert maps, or be part of a new class. I suggest either replacing the skin with actual shocktrooper armour, or give them the "death star trooper" skin. We see "death star troopers" both on death star I and battling on endor so its only fair they get a place in the game. The engineer class should probably wear AT-ST driver clothes apart from maybe death star and hoth. Officers should only wear general veers outfit only on hoth, otherwise they should wear the familiar uniform, maybe varying the colour for different types of map.

 

i'd like to see more use of the rebel marine model for standard rebel infantry over the endor ones. maybe it could vary from map to map or something but not one single thing over most of them.

 

But that's there outfit for conflicts they're participating in. You're thinking of their fleet/off-duty outfits.

Forgot to mention earlier, I'd like to see actual Sandtrooper units. The basic one would have a black pauldron and small backpack. The sniper would have a scout helmet, a black pauldron and a smaller backpack. The Heavy Weapons trooper would have a black pauldron and larger backpack. The Commander would have an orange pauldron and an average-sized backpack. The special could be another sandtrooper unit (maybe with a white pauldron) that has a DLT-19 and average sized backpack.

I'd also like to see more accurate heroes. Replace Jango Fett with Durge and Darth Maul with Asajj Ventress. I suppose Maul and Jango could still be in Hero Assault, though.

 

so what? theres no medics in Star Wars, ppl dont try to help others get over a wall, and dont repel of things? Ive seen some of thse things in Star Wars. and no we are NOT in a STAR WARS UNIVERSE. we tried but that but it failed. im not sure which prez thought of it, it was either Nixon or Kenedy.

Someone said something about plp never repelling in Star Wars. thats not true. Star Ep1 and 3 had repelling and in the Star Wars cartoon movie. They even did it in a game, so i cant see why not have repelling Sta Wars battlefront 3. that would be something new and ppl could have fun that.

Someone else asked about one of the Rancor pictures if i created it. No i have not i just found it and thought it might be pretty cool to have in a game.

oh yeah nice guns you found rock

 

[image=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/thumb/e/e3/CC-1.JPG/200px-CC-1.JPG] i think this guy should be adde on some maps.
[image=http://static2.filefront.com/images/personal/b/BFWEPinguin/112719/uvwbilvoas.jpg] i dont think it should always be Jedi or main characters from movies that should be a Hero or Vilian.
[image=http://i24.tinypic.com/35avg2e.jpg]

Im just saying you know its only the Rebels that get to change their outfits to each map. It should be every team that could change their color. We shou ld be givin the option to change from 3 colors each time we start a map.

 

Reagan. Nixon and Kennedy were both president before Star Wars came out.

They do do it in Ep. 3, you're right. But, honestly, is it really neccessary?

Look, the only way rappelling would work would be in a scripted SP mode like in CoD4. Otherwise it's a gimmick and something that the devs shouldn't waste their time implementing.

 

I was thinking yesterday how cool it would be if your rank actually meant something, especially for space battles.

Think about it, online play. You could have your own squadrons. If you have Commander or General status, boom, you're in charge of the squadron. It would be even better with the head sets.

It would be somewhat like an actual space fight. You'd be going against actual squadrons of REAL people. Not this CPU crap where they always hit you with the defense turrents, not the CPU's who crash into you and stuff. It would actually be somewhat challenging, and less annoying.

But, that's just my opinon.

 

oh yeah? plz explain the laser turret, laser cannon, and laser beam. i wanna see you come up with an answer for that.

 

I my defense I say that we see officers dressed like that as part of the legion outside the endor bunker. They also participate in the battle. So if I wanted a skin for officers on endor it would be the black uniform.

 

different tech, those are more true lasers than bursts. you really have to read up on the New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology. A couple of the gun graphic chart pics were also from that book.

 

That's because they were working in the bunker, and were tricked into coming outside, thinking the battle was over.

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing them NOT introduce anything new to canon, but expand upon what's been established. Keep the Victory II's, but stick in some Lancers and Carracks and even some Corellian Gunships. That and actually have shields on the frigates. And have then move. and have them carry fighters if they're able to. The conflicts they could use could be stuff like the Battle of Jabiim (Clone Wars), the Battle of Jabiim (GCW), the Battle of Toprawa, etc.

 

maybe on something LIKE the Death Star map, there can be a gravitational beam that bring you to the 3rd or 4th lvl

 

No, before then, when they first come to the bunker and capture the rebel strike team, oh and I meant grey uniform on endor. We also see the black uniform for a gunner in the conflict on the Tantive IV, since there are only 3 infantry battles we see on film for the galactic civil war and we can exclude hoth from the normal set of costumes due to the snow outfits (and the fact the engineer and the veer's outfit are both AT-AT pilot outfits), we see the uniform I described in both of the other conflicts.

 

the space fights need to be more interesting. like guys with jet packs, rifles, and rocket launchers on SOME space maps. it would be interesting having guys shooting on top of ships and turrets attacking them.

 

I don't care what the guns look like I just want to know how effecient they are. A gun could look cool but be really weak. Also say if there is anything special it can do.

 

In BF1 u don't have to land for ppl to get out.

I think that crystals or something that directs the lasers get worn out so they replace them. It's just a thought.

 

on the medics subject rewatch the battle of utapau scene in ROTS again. One of the clones gets shot, so another clone crouches by him and makes and hand signal shouting for a corpsman. something I'd like to note

 

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but what bugged me most with SWBF2 is that heroes/villains are restricted to certain locations, and this is really unbalanced. For example, you can play Obiwan on sooo many maps, and Anakin in only one or two of the maps. Dooku only on Geonosis. I'd like it if this were more balanced. Maybe even better if you could just pick a favourite hero/villain. I was always hoping this would be fixed with a patch, but noooo....

Another thing that really bugged me was that there were no B-Wings for the rebels. Instead they added this republic trooper transport to the rebel ships, it doesn't make sense at all.
