Star Wars Battlefront

Knock out shields, toss grenade.

Really wish there was an option for rifle butts and punches.

True that, I'm spoiled by modern shooters and expect a melee attack.

I remember in Republic Commando that a good way to destroy Droidekas was to run up right in front of them where their guns couldn't shoot you and just melee them to death XD

But still, they were tough to take down in both games. They were one of the reasons I preferred Galactic Civil War battles.

The Magnaguards would be a lot more memorable with staffs.

And Grievous should have had his cape.

Still, large scale battles made more sense in the Clone Wars.

Was the slap for the bad pun?

What were the empire unique units again? All I remember is the Rebels had Bothans (who I generally sucked with) and maybe Wookies (I think...).

Dark Troopers and Imperial Officers.

I sort of remember the Dark Troopers (they could turn invisible... or something... or was that the Bothans?), but I can't remember the Officers at all... I never used either.

I remember using the Bowcaster with the Wookies and being moderately good, but I can't remember if that was this game or another one.

Bothans could stealth, Officers were like the Magnaguards. Dark troopers had the jump-pack.

Dark Troopers had jetpacks and Tri-guns. Think a cross between the clone jet troopers and the Super Battledroids.

^^ They had vibroblades? Holy crap, that's awesome! Why can't I remember that?

Uh, nobody had vibroblades. Not even the Magna Guards.

Electrostaff, whatever.

I really hated not having a melee attack. Even if was just a rifle-wack, there should be SOMETHING

Anybody else have some serious pleasure at using the Jub Jub code in the first one?

Especially with the Rebel Pilots. Decapitated midget whose head was floating 5 feet above his body.

And I think the whole space between head and body counted as part of his hitbox too.

Truthfully, I would be happy with a next-gen Battlefront that takes Battlefront II and polishes it over, rebalance the classes, vehicles and perks, give a large number of maps and generally improve upon things that were already present (such as a more elaborate and complex inner corridoors to capital ships). After that, any new features would be a bonus.

I played the midi-chlorians out of Battlefront II, so any evolution/polishing/streamlining of the series would have me sold. Personally, I think a cool idea would be if the land and space maps could be linked together somehow on certain maps, allowing you to pick up a starfighter and immediately fly up into space in the middle of a land skirmish and vice versa.

Yes. That would be brilliant.

One thing they'd have to do with that would have to be making it so that it actually matters where you are, but don't have to be in two places at once.

Starfighters would have to be incredibly fast though so as to not waste time going in and out of space.

Though I would love to just fly straight towards the surface and dive bomb some poor sod.

ATMOSPHERIC RE-ENTRY KAMIKAZE!

Hey, if you're gonna go out, go out in style.

"Dive bomber one you are clear for descent, over."

"Roger that command central, proceeding to drop some heavy artillery on that AT-AT over there, over and out."

-ten seconds later- BOOOOOM "AT-AT has been annhilated, over and out."

And that, kids, is how Hoth was really won. Forget that myth about Luke Skywalker tripping one.

I want to carpet bomb from space so bad.

Orbital cover fire sounds sweet, but I can't help but feel that you would somehow be caught in the crossfire.

I don't even want to aim, I just want to swoop in, bomb shit, swoop out, repeat. That'd be sweet.

Also want to stick mines on my fighter and crash on people for the lulz.

Oh and shooting people. That'd be cool too.
