1: Space.
Why is space even in this?

ROFL Ever saw Star Wars on TV or in the Cinema ?

I'm not sure if its because the fans of the space part has never played a real flightsim or what... but its lacking most of the main parts of a flightsim.

I'm a fan of the space maps. I don't want to play a flightsim, i want to blow the Death Star up and fly a X-Wing or a TIE Interceptor.

A Starwars Game without space is like Battelfield Inf only...


2: Balance

Hm, the Assaults Standard Rifle could be a little bit more accurate in the first shoots when fired "from the hip while moving". (It's a assault rifle, not a camping gear !) This affects Imps and Rebs.

3: Map size.
Most maps are just to large, you get hotspots of action with a 5 min run in the middle. You want the game to be group based but the only way to move units at a semi fast speed is in 2 person armor.. ( less your a reb and you get the APC )

Get a Speederbike or an APC and play Taxi.
Join a Squad and spawn at the Squadleaders position.

Fast respawn Times for the Bikes & APCs after destruction may also helpfull.

I had such high hopes for this mod I really did, but I think you guys just put way to much time and energy into parts that really did not need it. Scrap the space junk, downsize the maps and balance out the weapons/kits/factions.

With other words: Make a "Inf Only Star Wars Version of Gibraltar / Karkand"  ? wink

There is a reason why inf only is very popular.
You don't need teamwork.
-> No Tanks, no need for a buddy who is also firing at the tank, no need for support to get ammo
-> No Bombers ? No need for Fighters to shoot the bombers down
-> Small Maps ? No need for Players as driver

If you still have high hopes for a good Star Wars Mod with teamplay... don't uninstall.
Play it, play as part of a squad, recruit your buddys to play with you.
Post your feedback and suggestions in the forum, and discuss it.

And remember: A game is never final.
Some things what work well during tests must be reworked after many players have played them public. Especially then in public a certain feature is used to spoil the game (like the nadespam inBF 2142  titan mode).
Some thing what work well on a 3 Ghz 2 GB Testserver with 60 ms Ping won't work on a Public Server with 1,8 Ghz 1 GB and 120 ms Ping.

Re: Why I'm Uninstalling

There's one way I've found in particular to REALLY enjoy this mod and it's immersion factor:

Eat the cheese.

Yes, join a squad or create a squad/get people to join it through some inviting name like Teamwork or VOIP (or Rogue or Avenger on space maps). Then do your best to coax every bit of teamplay out of your buddies. A microphone is the best purchase you can make for a game like this. Take yourself out of your keyboard, mouse, joystick, and sights and take yourself into the world. "Here's the plan, guys, follow me and we'll flank those bucketheads." "Head on in on that tower, I've got your six covered in an X-wing." "Shoot, we've got a whole swarm of them coming, take cover!" "BOMBER INCOMING, GET DOWN!"

Use the cheese, but use it practically. When you fail, you know you tried really hard. When you succeed, it's the most exhilarating feeling there is.

Re: Why I'm Uninstalling

What did you expect Star Wars Battlefront 2?  This isn't like that.  This mod is about teamwork not about not joining a squad and randomnly killing people.  I'm glad you are uninstalling because that's just one less noob who won't play together with teamwork.

Damn you, Bandu. Touche smile

Actually, now that I think about it, yeah, sex alone ranks above the "most exhilarating feeling there is". Apart from me only experiencing it once.

Re: Why I'm Uninstalling

My main gripe with the game is that there aren't more people playing. I have a feeling FH2 has stolen more than a few players. They'll be back, I hope.
