I can tell you they are close enough, and in this case with the weapons they are very alike.

it is possible to bisable a weapon on a map right?
so not al maps have to have this weapon/function.
as for giving every type : remember teamplay plays a big part to.
when i go playing with my clan we always make sure we dont al have the same kits, and the best for the current opjective (defence, attack).

Well regular stormtroopers have one as well, when Luke tries to escape with Leia and the bridge is destroyed

if u give too mush to the snipe it aint fair to those that work as a squad realy

I think a grapling hook would add a lot of new possibilites (maybe too much) to the game. But if you give the grapling hook only to specific units like the scout maybe it'll work out if ONLY this unittype can use it and not the rest of the squad. This again can defeat the teamplay. But I also think it'd be too much to include in the first releases.

I can definitl see this being used in vast maps such as Bespin, but it may defeat the purpose of interior models as well.

Yes Luke had such a hook...
But the hook wasnot used that much... On the contrary Luke was used VERY much...
Let's add Luke

I believe that in this specific topic gameplay must be considered above all. Would we want such hooks, and if yes what should be made to make them "usable and poppular" ? Maybe many buildings and structures should be created to allow (and ensure) the "Total and Beneficial use" of such gadgets (and maybe some changes should be applied to the maps, make sure the players wouldnot use the hook to reach places they are supposed to reach etc).... hmm I don't know

Now... what would be more interesting would be to see those magnetic cables, that were used to bring those beasts down (<-- my opinion)

Thanks

it wasnt used in the movies a lot, because it didnt make for a nice movie then and the story didnt alow for it.
as we saw in the prelogie most standard guns can be given a line attactment. why wouldnt a army of elite troops (that cant aim ) not have that kind of gun, or alteast the so called special storm troopers

Much of the stuff being used in this mod wasnt in the origional movies.

If we jsut used stuff from the origional movies, it would be pretty dull.

I beileive stormtroopers had some type of grapling hook/Wire combo in their utility belts. Isn't that what luke and leia use to swing across that hole in the death star?
