Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 There was some talk a while ago about Star Wars: Battlegrounds and the vehicles/units etc. that would be in it. One particular question related to the use of AT-AT walkers. It seems that we were all wrong in our conclusions that it would not be present in the game: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/screenshots/67.jpg Here we see an Imperial AT-AT walker under attack from some rebel scum. I looks like it is taking damage from some rebel heavy-laser cannons, and htere seems to be some engine glow behind it from a fighter of some sort. I suppose it could be a computer controlled unit, but if it is player controlled it adds some excitment to the game. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/screenshots/36.jpg This is from the Battle of Hoth map. Again we see the AT-AT in front with some AT-STs in the back. Looks like the rebels will be pressed for good vehicles as they are forced to ride tauntauns into battle. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/screenshots/34.jpg This screen from the Kamino map answers my question about fighters. I don't need to explain this image, as I'm sure we all know what it shows. A new question arises though: How does a battle droid man a Droid fighter? http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/screenshots/29.jpg Ok, this is the last image I'll bog this topic down with. Of all the thing's I've wanted to do in a game, dropping out of one of these clone trooper drop-ships is near the top of my list. It's the closest you'll get to a helocopter in the SW univers, and it's just plane cool. Definitely keep an eye on this game. I think that it will be the redemption for the series of terrible console games LA has been pumping out in recent months (excluding KotR that is). History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Battlefront you mean Other than that, SWEET! It looks GREAT! And with my experiances in BF 1942, I should be at home here I can't wait, I do think the At-At will be player manned.

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Aye, I meant Battlefrount. Battlegrounds is the RTS. I, too, am hoping that the AT-ATs will be player controlled. If not, there's allways the AT-STs . History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 For the droid starfighter question I have theorie. 1. The droid pilot could control it from the ground2. He could get in it who cares how its only for fun. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazer81 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 at http://www.gamespot.com there is a movie interview that says the AT AT will be playable, of course if its like the other battlefield games that may mean the rebels can take control of it no problem Whoa that got em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well if an AT-AT is somehow available and the Imps have abandoned it, they would have to be some really dumb Imperials. Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I can already imagine the Battle of Hoth...

BadSamaritan Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I just hope my poor old comp can handle running it. I havent upgraded it in quite some time now. I once knew a great man. Nothing got to him, and he always smiled. May he forever rest in peace, knowing fully well that his freinds shall remember him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I am just asking because my computer is so blooming slow. But I can already imagine. Starting up the game and seeing: GAT DJ AA Fishface all on the same map brings tears to my eyes http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I already know the server I'm gonna play on We should all make a point to be on it: [OSF]May the force be with you. Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 And create a clan: The Spam Corps http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 That's an intresting idea if we can get all of us to join it..... Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 I read in PC Gamer (I think) that there will be restrictions on vehicle hi-jacking. FOr example, if a vehicle is abandoned in the middle of the battlefield, the opposing team can take control of it. However, if the vehicle is inside an enemy base, it can only be controlled by that faction. Also, if a base is captured the vehicles will convert to the capping faction's. As for a clan, I think we could get a lot of people to join an SWR clan, though it would be better to simply play without a clan. The tast of forming a heirarchy can be a pain. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all.

ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 We wouldn't really need anyone in command, in games like this you just put the clan name and play together. We could have hmm...Mad, Thrawn, Fishace, Spamtilliles and I.The hijacking thing is good to know Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Imagine the havoc we would cause? There would be non-stop chatter, either using mics or text. Oh, the wonderful havoc!

ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 The 5 of us, working together, fighting together, owning our enemies together. Ok, we're making a clan We will OWN! Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 We'll probably be the first clan for the game. I doubt there are any out there yet, since the game is still about two months away from release (September 21). The only problem we will have is that some of us (me) will refuse to fight as the rebels, unless the there are not spots on the Imperial side . History is on the move, Captain.

ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yeah, I don't like fighting on the Allied side in bf 1942 Ah well, we'll have to suck it up. It won't matter If we're there owning everyone Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 My only problem is that it won't play on my computer which is too old. So I will have to wait to buy a new one before I join... But keep me a spot in the clan. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I have to add that I tried making a blason for the clanhttp://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0YQDVAiIeCvP1UzgMnSKJGQo11WUuBRgYObu*bq4ukAUUgMb8!sCeMtu*0xykjCkqtDeYWvogSajkuEvQeXLAFPuBuVY!Y55CtXKUUKv5z!zhwiJ0JykeNv*zAAFI1vCowQ*J275NIAxpn9g7QDgJfg/Spam%20Corps%20blason.jpg And our Motto could be:We fight for the past, the present and the future. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 Nice mad, thought perhaps the lightsbers could be replaced by blasters, since there will be no Jedi in the game? We'll save you a spot, not to worry. How much would you have to upgrade to play, do you think? History is on the move, Captain.

Mad78 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I would have to upgrade everything. Considering that my current computer is 576Mhz. My dad says we are going to get a new one... Next year. Blasters you say... Okay I shall have a go at another blason. What do you think of the motto? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Looks cool Mad! I hope you can get your new computer soon,....or play with us on your Xbox Actually, there will be Jedi in the game....kind of. There are ways to call heros like Vader and whatnot. When they take so much damage, they disappear but they'll be deadly. Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
