Topic: Trooper Skill

This looks like a realy exciting project. Im currently in a Star Wars Battlefont 2 clan and the clan is a bit split when 2 came out as the game is so bugged a good few members cant stand to play it.

What is also sometimes an annoyance is the amount of tanks and vehicles on quite small maps the trooper doesnt stand a chance as hes blasted from all sides by heavy vehicles. The thing is to get the vehicle balance/respawn times right so its not just a big vehicle fest. Star Wars lends itself to vehicles quite heavily but going over board limits the trooper skill and reduces the enjoyment of playing as a grunt.

Re: Trooper Skill

i think there r going to be maps w/ and w/o vehicles so that it all works out
and if this mod uses the bf2 potential of 16/32/64 version maps, it can make the 16 have no vehicles, 32 some, and 64 LOADS!
lol but i aint part of the dev team so wut i say is just wut i think and no facts

Hum, I don't think this has been discussed before. Welcome to the forums as well. Yes, there are going to be vehicals most likely in each map- what type will vary depending on race and location of the map. As for how easy it is for ground troops to combat against them, I can't say, only the devs can.

Re: Trooper Skill

Well, GC had good maps for infantry only, some maps with heavy vehicles only, and some maps with a good mix in which both have their advantages. smile

Re: Trooper Skill

so what about Hoth with 16/32/64 players?

16 no vehicles, 32 some 64 alot?

This can never work, cause how can u play Hoth without vehicles?

The only map u can play without vehicles is Cloud City smile, except the cloud cars and the transport system

Re: Trooper Skill

And the Tantive IV.

Hoth 16 player could be set after the Snowtroopers are in Echo base.

Yeah! Like the final stages of the evacuation. Good idea.
