Topic: Riding Creatures?

Is there any chance we will ever get to ride those cool StarWars animals you see in the movies/TV, and or places?

I can think of a few that would be fun:

Endor:

Blurrg:

Tatooine:

Ronto:

Bantha:

Dewback:

Eopie:

Hoth:

Tauntaun:

Of course this may be asking too much of the BF2142 engine. But if we can get them to walke right, and of course have it look good when it dies. It may be worth a try some day.

I would love to ride around any of these on the maps we have and use them to get from place to place quitly and without notice.

Re: Riding Creatures?

We talked about that quite a bit and we haven't so far come up with a conclusion but we -as you know- didn't include in RC1 for obvious reasons. If we are going to do it, it will become a great challenge because the BF2142 engine has never been built to do anything like that but I guess if we are able to do an AT-AT then we can also do one of those monsters.

Re: Riding Creatures?

I know what you mean. One of the cool things in StarWars that most other Si-Fi shows/movies lack is realy cool looking creatures. I mean it's one of my favoret things to do in SWBF/SWBF2 is to ride around the creatures we get on some maps. Though I wish we had more encounters with them on planets. I would love a StarWars game that has not only everything we wan't in a StarWars FPS IE this mod. But also everything we could ask for with encounters with the Creatures of the planet that live there. I mean It would be cool to run into a Gorax on Endor liveing in a cave, or a Wampa on Hoth, or a hurd of Dewbacks on tatooine.

Long live the Empire!

Re: Riding Creatures?

I dont think having organic mounts is possible with 2142 engine
