    I think that the ARC troopers might have been doing some moping up work after the battle. Poggle said that he was sending his troops into the caverns to hide.
    Also- look at their helmets, they're not like that of an ARC or Clone Trooper's helmet.

    Also, loved the scene where the clone was signaling to the others with two fingers. Love that sort of thing, SWAT team style work.

    Actually, they look almost exactly the same as the clonetroopers from AOTC.

    If anything, they're 200 times closer looking to the clonetroopers than the stormtroopers.

    They're probably just Clonetroopers, Lucasarts would want to appeal to the biggest audience and the majority of people would recognize one, meanwhile an ARC trooper, unless well introduced into the game, would make most people wonder.

    The blue could simply mean they're a Commando unit, rather than a regular Clonetrooper squad.

    >>meanwhile an ARC trooper, unless well introduced into the game, would make most people wonder. <<

    Don't forget though, that this game won't be coming out till next year, and between now and then, ARC Troopers will have their own action figure as well as being seen in the Clone Wars cartoon series (and might even appear in Episode 3), so they'll be somewhat more recognizable than they are now.

    Besides, they don't need much of an introduction- they could just be cooler looking troopers for all most people care.

    Hmm...now I've got to decide whether to get an XBox or to wait for the PC version.

    Have they stated there will be a difference in release dates?

    There's a good chance they'll release simultaneously, or the PC may even be first (like in Jedi Academy)...

    The lucasarts site still just redirects to the press release. I guess there will be a mini site up for it fairly soon...

    But no, I've heard nothing about it for a long time.

    I've been wanting something like this for a long time, with just troopers, not Jedi.

    Not that I don't like KOTOR or Jedi Academy. I'm positively in love with both, but I think this is a nice change.

    No reason to think it's scrapped. It took well over a year for the forst KOTOR screenshots to appear.

    I think now that almost all the recent in-development games are out (kotor, SWON, Armed & Dangerous, Gladius etc) that the LEC site will soon update with those being developed (Sam & Max, Republic Commando, Battlefront, Galaxies: Space Expansion).

    This game really has my interest. If the gameplay is as good as the pics look so far, there is no doubt I will buy this game.

    Hopefully this won't have the same PC requirments as KOTOR.

    This should be a good game, if done well.

    Personally, I hope it has at least the same requirements (minus possibly the hard drive space) as KOTOR. Bring on the eye candy, I say.

    Going by what another site has recently mentioned, it looks as if the game might be getting pushed back to early/mid-autumn; one aspect that was brought up was that some of the content ties directly into Episode III Spoilers Removed and thanks to this, there's a slightly greater...desire...now upon Lucasfilm's part to move it a bit closer to the film's release date.

    Again, I'm hoping that this one hits much, much sooner than what these folks are implying, but the workings of LFL are sometimes mysterious like unto the gods...
