in lack of a better name for a base, use the secret code name

Proabably called like that because of the echo you can hear if you scream in the icey tunnels of it.

Or Yavin base was Delta, and Dantooine was Charlie and so on.

Those kinda maps either suck or rock. Usually depends on your team.

I'd have to say space maps, and open-ended ground maps.

By open-ended, I mean each team gets a lot of supplies at the main base, and the mapmaker basically says 'here you go, here are your tools to do battle, now fight it how you want to'.

I remember in GC the pleasure of many of the maps was that you could try out a skyhopper, grab the shuttle and ferry people around, or pirate it up and grab the sail barge with some friends. It's like a world within a world, you know? Adds depth instead of forcing players down one set path to winning a map.

That would be awsome! Now a question for you lore-ites out there. Why is it called echo base? Was there alpha, bravo, charlie, and delta bases before it?

I like deserts, but come to think of it, I'll like interior-ship combat the most.

You know, I've not played many good desert battles in battlefield. I did like GC's tatoonine (alot), but I'd like to see some more infantry oriented battles in wide open deserts, with large sand dunes for cover...

Id probably go with deserts as my first choice , battles in large open areas ect , the kind i like. And of course space battles ( Who doesnt like them? )

The only ATAT that will be on Endor will be a static model I believe. However, there will be plenty of ATSTs.

Off topic: You have to watch out though ArcAngel. If you have a 5200 you probably have an AGP card. Most cards now are PCI-e. You might be hard pressed to find anything good for your mother board. I think there is one 7800 card that comes in AGP. Also, most newer cards use a lot more power. A 350-400W psu wont cut it anymore. You have to be carful when upgrading graphics cards now, there are so many factors to consider.
Well I'm officially intimidated. I don't know a damn thing about my power supply, and my card slot is AGP. Oy vey, to CompUsa! Sorry to steer yal off topic btw.

Ack, sorry to continue this. Contact me on XFIRE, "generalandrew" minus the quotes as a friend and I'll tell you my suggestions for purchasing a new video card, without all of the garble.
