Re: As far from battlefront 2 as possible

SWBF2 isn't really like Starwars. It could be mod of someone who don't know anything about Starwars. General Grievous' Fighter is the bomber for the Confederation... This is wrong, but this is maybe needed for the gameplay: every team needs a bomber, a transporter.... but this isn't like Starwars.
Please don't make this mistake wink

Re: As far from battlefront 2 as possible

That's what happens when you try to shoehorn things into games. Galactic Battlegrounds still holds the record, though: It wanted to include the Gungans, disregarding that the Gungans' military strength was not nearly that of any other side in the game, from the Rebels to the Empire. They also had no air units whatsoever. No problem, though - the developers had them ride birds. Yes, birds. Huge reptiles from which they threw energy balls at enemy fighters and ground units. And these birds were on par combat-wise with TIE Fighters and X-Wings. They could even fly about in space, with neither creature nor rider sporting space suits.

I think Rebel Strike comes in second when it felt like including Hoth for the third time, this time having you mow down half of the Imperial ground forces, including three AT-ATs, singlehandedly - from astride a tauntaun.

Look, both games were pretty good, but those examples still stand.

Re: As far from battlefront 2 as possible

I have to admit.. there is one thing that bfront2 did right...
being able to change kits at spawn points...

that's just handy... *smiles and bats his eyelashes at the devs*

i wouldn't mention that kinda thing if i hadn't seen it done in the bf engine already btw wink

other than that... ugh.. not being able to take a spawn point while in a vehicle? I mean.. i see what they were trying to do.. i think.. but it just doesn't make sense at the bottom line.

It's not Camping anymore, it's "Strategic Defense".

... I didn't ram you, i simply didn't care that you were in my way.

Re: As far from battlefront 2 as possible

It'd have made more sense to nerf what I seem to recall was ridiculously overpowered tanks. But no, it didn't make much sense. If there are no enemies and two AT-STs at a control point, it's captured by said AT-STs. Did you ever hear anyone refer to a control point as 'under our control, safely guarded by two enemy walkers'? Didn't think so.

When a mod made by a small non-profit team of modders beat out a big budget team of proffesional game developers at a big name company, you know somethings wrong...
