Inside Bespin

[Eduardo]

Well, we wll know that Bespin is going to be in the game, and we know how will be playing on space, but the cuestion is: How do you think is going to be Bespin (inside the planet), I mean Bespin is a Gas planet, or a sky planet something like that, how do you think is going to be when you battle there??, in Cloud city?, or that planet is going to be from ship to ship??

[Teradyn_pff]

Heh, good question. I wondered this myself. My guess would be that cloud city (or that type) will be a battlefield. How? I have no idea because the size of the city would not be condusive to AT-ATs, rebel tanks and especially bombing. Realistically an enemy fleet would be able to wipe out the entire floating city with bombardment easily. Is there a surface under all that gas? It appeared that the upper atmosphere of Bespin was breathable, maybe the lower atmosphere is full of dense gases but still has a solid surface?

I would venture to guess that some of your equipment/vehicles will only be useable on certain environments. For example...

 

Say we have mon cal in the game. It is mostly a water planet. I would venture to guess that alot of your vehicles will need to be water based. I cant imagine that you would just be able to drop an AT-ST or an AT-AT in an area such as that unless the land is condusive to that equipment/vehicle.

 

I can imagine that Bespin will be based above the surface of the planet and you will see alot of atmospheric flight along with alot of closed combat type of fighting.

Most likey it will me an infantry only map or some passenger vehicles small ones. Or it will be an island like map, but with sky units instead of boats and hovor crafts.

 

I think it should almost be infantry only, so it would be a very different map and ways of playing the map.

 

Just going to have to wait and see.

[Vader89]

I think itll be like a spcae only map, you win the space battle and you get the planet, which prolly produces a TON of credits.

[Ricbr]

But wasnt it said that every planet will have both space and a land portion (even if it is on platforms). I remember that comment over and over through alot of interviews.

[Darkmark]

It will have both and I'm willing to bet it will be on a 'cloud city' like surface floating peacefully in the clouds...

 

I mean, if there even was a true 'ground' surface to bespin; when do we see it, hear about it or even give a second thought about it. So what to LEC or Petroglyph gain from making it? They aren't going to waste an oportunity to use an arena of action from the films.

 

Think carefully, they won't likely do a 'surface' for coruscant either. Taking this into account, there's bound to be some way they've made cloud city (not inclusive, I would guess, of the interiors).

[General Ackbar]

maybe it will be infantry and light armor type map?

[Naja]

I assume that air power would figure heavily into those sort of maps, to compensate for your lack of heavy armor. The Rebels would have the advantage in those maps, due to their better air force.

I am not picking on you Naja, honestly. You did spark a question though. What indication have we had that the imperial and rebel fighters/bombers are anything but special attack units like the US Carrier launched F18s in Generals? The speeders of course are, but what imperial units have we seen that perform that same role? In any even, they seem like support units to the big ground combatants anyway, not direct "battle deciding" decision makers.

[Naja]

I dunno. We have seen X-Wings and the like in ground battle pictures, so fighter support is not confined to simply bomber runs. We really don't know, at this point.

[Joshinator]

Bespin wasn't just a gas giant, was it? I mean if someone recovered lukes severed hand and lightsaber, it suggests there's land somewhere. Which means it'd be like any other map, cept it wouldn't be covered in lot's of vegitation, cause of the thick atomosphere, at least that's what i think anyway.

[Gen.Vader]

hye guys i found...wait a lightsaber! and it has luke skywalker by it....eeww its all decomposing and smelly!

[Naja]

Wasn't that from that pre-teen Jedi Prince book series? Blehh.

[Foshjedi2004]

It was mentioned in the Heir to the Empire Trilogy where Joruus C'baoth made an Insane clone of Luke.

 

His hand and Saber were found by some Ugnaughts when they fell onto another walkway 100 stories below.

[Popcorn2008]

I bet they will have a few planets (like bespin and coruscant) were there isnt a land battle. But if there is a land battle I bet its limited to ground troops or something. It would make intereasting game play...

[Foshjedi2004]

Bespin could be similar maps to Jedi Outcast and Coruscant similar to JKA with loads of bridges.

[Admiral Nova]

I'd really like that.

 

Man verse man with nothing else to interfere

[Popcorn2008]

Yeah it would be cool because then you could have massive stormtrooper vs. rebel troop battles . Maybe have a few light vehicles mixed in.
