This is sort of a nit-picky thing, but is there a new model for the stormtrooper's blaster? The last screens I saw their blasters looked like police bats with a scope attached.

lol. As long as they shoot I'll be satisfied.

I'm thinking they're an upgrade of some sort that's applied to that group of units. I can't imagine those will be the default set up for the stormies.

Or they may have updated the models since then.

im sure as ou research better guns they change in appearance...Look at Battlegrounds, you go from a pathetic little blaster to a 'Repeater Rifle' Thats huge.

If you carefully look at the newest additions of the pictures (Well old now) you'll see that the guns have DETAILS now compared to the ones that got me hooked on to this game which was the AT-AT and stormies in Tatooine in the first ever pictures.

 

Anyways heres the before and after pics of the gun.

- BEFORE (One that got me hooked onto this game, simple renders):

Thats what I'm talking about, the second ones are an improvment. Thanks Youki... Those blasters in the first pic... Blah

yea those first blasters look like placeholders.

it looks like they also added more detail to the armor, i like the improved blasters though, i dont like beat sticks!

Correction Vader, they were beat sticks with scopes. Far more accurate than your usual, everyday beat stick.

Better range and power. Enough to take out the sand Crawlers Still i am tired of all the confusion with the weapons and Tech. We need more details to be released. Ismael can you talk to Mike and the crew and see if they can add stuff onto the forum

I never noticed the blasters looked so bad in that first screenshot. lol. Yeah they do look like placeholders
