He pretty much only plays WA. Just swap to supremacy or TP for a while. Or, quit and rejoin till you're on his team and soak up the easy wins. Equip pulse cannon and homing shot, and aim at the side of the field he's not on.

17000 IIRC? Honestly, you make enough credits between about 45 and 50 to buy that with spare, so blow your credits on whatever. Shame the scout trooper looks poo poo compared to rebel aliens though.

Well I'll upgrade cards then.t
Honestly I mostly don't care for the skins, like I said the reason I like the black one is because it is less blatantly obvious to see on Endor and Sullust. I have not changed my dude past initially picking him for rebels.

And no helmet stormtroopers can gently caress off anyway. :colbert: That's just a lovely marketing ploy so they could claim "103210358 billion customizations" instead of "52 rebel and 5 imperial customizations".

Full disclaimer. I use a helmetless stormtrooper. I genuinely don't give a poo poo about all the "they're meant to be uniformly identical etc etc".

I mean come on, what the gently caress where they supposed to do with stormtroopers for customisation? Paint that no-one will ever see? Meh. I was happier to buy alien rebel skins, I skipped scout trooper entirely.

Or just have like 5 options for stormtroopers. Helmet less troopers just look dumb, like why would you ever take it off during combat?

I was also thinking they could have had a bunch of options of troopers with varying degree of armour damage and dirt/grime. Blaster scorches and shrapnel chunks.

Imperial Officer, Deathstar Gunner, AT AT pilot, Tie Pilot, etc? There you have different uniforms but instead of creating more models, they went the lazy and cheap way of "troopers have the same faces as rebels".

I also think only 1 body for rebels is a bit meh.

But I guess it also comes down to "babbies first enemy recognition". Imagine you would have to tell like 10 distinct uniforms apart.... that is not casual enough for this game.

I totally remember that being sort of a thing in BF2. Commander Clones (with the pink armor and a minigun :kimchi:) and Imperial Officers (looked like the officer in ESB inside the AT-AT) were pretty tough to see on Felucia and Endor.

Also the whole "we're doing Original Trilogy ONLY" thing is kind of contradicted by the fact Sullust is in the game at all. With Jakku releasing to (I guess) ramp up hype for TFA, It's almost like that wasn't the original plan but at some point when they decided doing TFA content was too much :effort: and they decided "Actually nope. Let's stick with OT."

This is all conjecture though.

I think it takes a willful ignorance to think that the announcement means "only stuff that literally appeared on film in the original trilogy". A non-retarded person would understand that it means that everything in the game will be in the OT era, which Sullust and Jakku both are.

omg boba fett was never on Endor this is a breach of their promise to stick to the OT!!!!!!

Helmetless Stormtroopers bother me just because they are easily mistaken for rebels when you're trying to fight them, so they can sneak by you sometimes and shoot you in the back of the head like dickbags full of butt sludge.

The battle at Jakku takes place shortly after the events of ROTJ, and long before the events of TFA. It involves the Rebellion and the Empire, long before the Republic or the First Order even exist. Both sides are armed with the same kind of ships and equipment used at the battle of Endor. It's about as OT era as you can get, including literally (based on chronology).

As for heroes who knows. Earlier speculation is summed as "probably Chewie and another bounty hunter", and "maybe Wedge or General Veers????"

Not sure why you think this is so outlandish? Name ANY occurrence of a Stormtrooper taking of their helmet that was not Luke/HAN.
On the other hand, Imperial officers, while not on every planet were present on Endor inside the shield station bunker thing and partook in the fighting IIRC.
AT ST and AT AT pilots are also a thing in the movies.

And Tie Pilots are a thing, frankly Rebels are sorely missing some clothing variety as well, such as Xwing pilot jumpsuits.

Chewie, Lando, Bossk, IG-88. That's what I'm rooting for.

There's no way Tarkin gets in, as amusing as it would be to watch Old Man Run And Gun. I'd rather it be Admiral Ozzel in that case.

And it just occurred to me to see if I can make John Ratzenberger's face as a Rebel.

One of his special moves would be called "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?", during which all Imperials within a certain radius of Tarkin are completely invincible until there's one second left in the game and then Tarkin and all Imperials simultaneously die.

Of course officers and pilots and such exist, but especially pilots would not be in the midst of battle with an LMG. Just, like, no. And a helmet can get damaged, maybe the optics break down or whatever.
Officers would be cool though, I agree - they'd even work with all the different heads we have.

If you loudly dislike helmetless troopers because of "canon" reasons then you should be consistent and also dislike all the other stuff that wasn't in the movies, like Leia in her Hoth outfit on Endor, the Emperor on Hoth, the loving Jumppacks. Or Stormtroopers using Wookie Bowcasters, now that's outlandish.

Speaking more generally, most gamers annoyed at this just come across as not wanting to see women and/or black people in their Star Wars shootybang game.

The clack of a light autocannon going off is just how you know everything's alright.
So I took a gander at the official forums to see if there's any news on when I can have more than one hand saved.

It's really never a good sign when the only official staff interaction is a thread titled 'we are listening,' is it?
