I had many great moments like that in Entha, you can wipe out entire squads if done right.

It is all about being in a squad and spawing on the SL's spawn beacon. That'll keeo you in the fight. and having and knowing your role hels, too. Are you the medic? Perhaps the heavy gunner? Or does the squad need you to spot targets?

Its not about points but about helping the squad stay alive. Of course a lot of that comes down to a good SL who can define those roles for his soldiers.

That said I've found that all ground maps are full of intense fighting as long as there is 8-12 people minimum logged on.

If you are finding you are running too far try to look at the map before you spawn and see where the fighting is, and then spawn closest to it ... or just spawn on your SL's beacon.

ok, so maybe its was a few squads with 3 or 4 people in it...but ours was full...and maybe there were a little more people in the server

so yeah...I know I know....I stretch the truth at times, but the game was epic nonetheless

man...even in servers with 17-22 people in it, it is surely intense. The other night, I was playing Mos Espa and in a very good squad who worked together (Pam was there). So we were fighting, running, giving each other cover fire when we run down allys...but it didnt end there...2 more 6-man squads popped up, and we ALL (yes, 18 people = 3 squads with 6 people in each) worked together, while lone wolfers kept the pethetic rebellion at bay. We all would spread out and cover door ways and streets. We took about 3 command points with ease; even when the silly rebels thought they could fight us, we destroyed them like lubricated lightning. We were supporting each other with ammo and revives as well as health and reconnaisance. THOSE are the kinda games that get your blood pumping. THOSE are the kinda games worth playing. FIRST STRIKE in one of those games!

You just aren't playing on populated servers. There is no map wherer you have to search for over 5 minutes for a battle. Usually you can find a battle in less than 60 seconds.

And just FYI, score is not what FS is about. Having low scores is not being unbalanced.

I find good battles even when there are 8 people in the server. Its not that hard to find where the battles are--you can tell by the flags.

Please explain, "the other map", what map?

There's Mos Entha, Mosespa, Endor, Battle of Taloraan, and Escape from Hoth. Besides, there is no map that you have to run around for 10 minutes until you find something, every map is designed so that you fight constantly.

There's a lot of battles in the game, I've had one 20-20 confrontation in the center of Mosespa, good times.

Anyway, the transports are supposed to be hard to destroy, but each bomb does ~1-2 hit points per shot, so basically you need to WORK TOGETHER which is what this mod is about. Solo play doesn't cut it.

First of all..
You all did a fantastic job.

But I must gripe a bit.

I have seem to hit a wall in terms of what I get to play.
No matter what I do I end up playing Escape from Hoth.

ALMOST ALL THE TIME....

The map never seems to end, I have seen Endor 5 times but for a total of 5 minutes.
In my opinion you guys have captured SW to a tee, but playing Hoth is like an exercise in self torture. You can't take out a transport unless you die 15 times and if you play rebel you go 15-0 if you dont fly a fighter, seriously that "map" is unbalanced.

The other map.. the one with the "run for 10 minutes" until you find someone.. I have played that a few times, maybe 20 minutes total (Thank hamsters, because it is really boring running around the entire place looking for someone to shoot and something I can clear with a jump.

Seriously I am getting extremely frustrated.
I LOVE the work you put into it, but the map execution stinks (IMO)
There are zero "battles"

I know I'll prolly get flamed, but this could be part of the reason the servers are empty.

It is AWESOME to be sure, but it's not really all that much fun to play.
