That's the dumbest thing I've read in ages.  Considering the game engine, and the horrible ATST walking animations, they did an amazing job with the ATAT.  Having two fully crewed walkers lumbering towards Echo Base was amazing during games on Hoth.

I agree with you 90% there...

I agree completely. The At-At was thought to be an impossibility on the Bf1942 engine, but thanks to the combined efforts of Woodrow and Django, they made it a reality.

Re: AT-AT Body.

It took two years to build a walking AT-AT for Galactic Conquest.  It was the combined effort of at least 8 developers, and required me to figure out some pretty crazy mathematical ways of spinning objects.  By the time you got to the bottom of the leg each foot on that AT-AT was spinning in 9 different directions at the same time (literally), yet appeared perfectly stable.  It was the ultimate achievement of developing over limitation.

Actually that's a little bit of a lie.  We had a better walking AT-AT that didn't get released because we were worried about network lag and performance in large games.  Which I found a pity overall, because the one that did get released wasn't as good.  We even had an AT-ST that looked the real deal using the same methods as the AT-AT, but that was developed by django after our final release and thus never saw the light of day.  Again a pity, because it pretty much near rivaled the SWBF ones in terms of animation looks.
