Wolfsheim posted:battlefront 2 was garbage because it became less about learning to get good at certain classes than it was "the jedi wins" I was pretty drat good at killing Jedi, most players were pretty easy to sucker into mines, if friendly fire was off I'd just run up behind them and throw a mine directly on them. Edit: Wow Battlefront 2's multiplayer was available on the pc until May 2014, then it was picked up from gamespy by gameranger and you can still play it! Maybe I'll put foot to rear end for the empire again. Mr.Pibbleton fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Dec 8, 2014 |

Palpatine's only crime was restructuring the military to not have the guys in maroon armor with laser miniguns. E: clone commanders. With the longcoat-armor. Liquid Dinosaur fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Dec 8, 2014 |

ThePutty posted:those mods were always hilarious because the engine itself couldn't handle a ship size over a certain limit. you'd get these massive ships that would sort of turn aimlessly in random directions and barely ever respond to where you actually wanted it to go Sounds like they should have just made everything else smaller instead

ThePutty posted:empire at war still had the best space battles in any star wars game ever Loved this game so much back in the day. Have your frigates create an AA screen around your heavies until your opponent wastes all his fighters and bombers, then send yours out to take out their capital ship's hangars and shield generators. also at the Lobot stuff. If I had to come up with an analogy for EU back-stories for token movie characters it would be how people who "have lived past lives" are always some famous historical figure or someone of importance. Never Roman garbage men or 19th Century paper boys.

Telepathic brain maggots are as dumb as the force. It's not the concept that's dumb; it's that it boils everything down to black and white morality and provides convenient ways for lovely writers to contrive their way out of telling interesting stories.

Did you know "bring balance to the force" means killing all the sith and there's only two sith in the universe ever at a time some of the concepts the prequels introduced are stupider than anything an eu author could ever come up with.

SO there can never just be a truly limited amount of either.

why would two of each be a good thing anyway the original three movies didn't need any loving PROPHECIES to be an epic where the force actually felt mystical, much less a stupid nonsense one like whatever the one in the prequels was. prophecies are dumb lazy storytelling that cheapen's the characters accomplishments on the best of days the one in the prequels was not "cool" by any interpretation

Every single mentioned planet in its canonical position on the Galactic Map, every ship to scale, and it took three hours to research a basic Star Destroyer. If that's the same mod I remember then yeah, moving the super star destroyer (the length of half the map) meant right clicking the opposite side of the map half ten to make it crawl in that direction. Oh and it came with a whole support fleet of cruisers and frigates instead of fighter wings so dropping the thing was an I Win button even if you didn't bother to use it and just swamped the map with the ridiculous amounts of free spaceships it came with.
