I'm prevented from playing, too. Ping is still constantly in the 3-4 digit range, 300 at least. It dropped to 50 this morning but then only 10 people played, and by the time the numbers had grown my internet had slowed back down.

Ouch. Is this your internet speed in general or just when trying to play? If it's speed in general check with your ISP, maybe they're throttling your bandwidth.

Just thought id come back and check 1.2 out.
Pretty annoyed i can't play it still.

Any Way

Good job with 1.2 (y)

I do agree, though, that the restricted tank turret movement feels awekward, especially the limited movement of the anti-infantry turret.

I do love the new sights on the anti-tank infantry weapons though. Well done! I like the splash-damage of those weapons too as they can be handy against infantry as well.

I wonder if anyone else noticed but when moving backwards in the tanks the left and right keys move the vehicle opposite from what I would expect.

And maybe I am missing something here but there doesn't appear to be mouse-look in the tanks, and neither in the new Y-Wing. I like mouse-look :-)

Great job guys, and thanks for including so many maps in the 1.2 update! I thought there would be two or three, but seven! Wow!

6) Rebel hover tank's weapons are very limited in elevation and depression. The rockets don't depress low enough for really close targets while the laser turret doesn't elevate or depress well. If targets are too high you're screwed, if infantry is in close to the vehicle you're screwed.

If we gave the T1-B turret free reign then it would make the vehicle waay unbalanced, since it cuts through nearly everything really quickly

Too bad that Yavin causes CTDs, it looks so great in the news updates..

Some guy in background:  "But I think Bestine is..."

*BANG*

So yeah, Ryloth, amazing.  Reminds me of my many fights on Mars in Starsiege.  The more depressing and complex, the better.

Hey, it's about teamplay, not points

Here's my little review , based on 1st impressions...

Ryloth:

I dig this map with its canyons. Flying thro them is a blast. I'd actually add more around the edges of the map and add in some parts where only a really skilled flyer can get thro, allowing for some sweet dogfights. I'd also like to see some of those floating asteroids to aid dogfighting aswel.
I'd probably add more stalagmites around the map and general rocks etc for infantry and tank cover.
Gameplay and layout wise I think it is really good, add those above features and Im sure itl be even better.
Visually it could do with some work. The textures of the buildings are decent, they just seem to lack that pop that some normal maps would give. Whether they have normal maps but the spec and lighting isnt aiding them or you just havent made any normal maps for them I dont know.
Ground textures could do with some enhancement , they seem a little stretched and abit harsh in a way. Also a little dark, tho probably thro the maps lighting. If I were the mapper I'd try and lighten it up a bit so it looks like the loading screen image- that looks sweet.

Bestine:

Some nice choke points and level design. Trying to get up the cliff as a rebel is a nice challenge.

Damn, need to go out now... but before I do I just want to request more Probe Droids!
