Let's Play Star Wars Battlefront II!
« on: August 16, 2010, 10:33:04 am »

Star Wars Battlefront II is, when you get down to it, a Star Wars version of Team Fortress II. The Story Campaign sees you playing as a trooper in the 501st, who get all the "fun" missions, from the 3rd movie to somewhere in the 5th if my memory serves me correctly. In the Galactic Conquest mode, you could play as any one of the 4 teams and play against their enemies in a fight to the death over a large star map. And of course, the internet has plenty of Mod Maps to play on.

So, if I get enough interest in this, I'd start up a handmade Conquest to play over teh interwebs, using custiom maps fom maximum hilarity. I could probably find the 1.3 patch which allows you to edit certain stats for one side, for things like health regen etc. as purchasable bonuses. But that will be nothing when you get into a tank and blow things to hell creak and back.

So, is anyone interested?


Screw this, I'm makign a Let's Play.

Do it.

 Although I wonder how you'll be showing us the battles, will it be via screenshots or videos?

Live. As in, players will be fighting in them on their side. Assuming people have the game.

Only have SWBFII for PS2.

And the campaign ends at the assault on Hoth, even though I'm pretty sure it was 501st that got it's ass handed to it on Endor against the Ewoks.

A couple of things that I didn't like about it was the fact the AI cheats rampantly, and the fact that the AI is still braindead stupid from the first one. These two combined have on one occasion caused me to die because I was in the co-pilot seat of a TIE Bomber(for the remote-controlled missiles), and the AI pilot went outside the map boundary(he didn't die).

Yeah, I usually get into a Transport as a passenger, but I usually end up being the pilot.

And seriously, am I the only one who has SWBFII for PC?

Yeah pretty much. I've only been able to find Battlefront 2 for consoles.

I have it on PC. I'm not bad at it either although I only play on the Australian servers.

Right, so that's 2 players (I have to play to veryfy the results and start the server etc.)

Oh, and I've decided on 12 maps for the game:

Aaris III
Naval Battle
Negative Zone
Capital Downs 1 and 2, depending on who owns the planet
Hyrule
Earth
Ralltiir
Kothrlis
Verena
Pegasus
Boras II
Corellia

We'll be playing in the Clone Wars era, except in Negative Zone, but the sides are so varied on that map that it won't matter anyway.

I have Battlefront 2, although I only ever play against the AI, so I have no clue how I'll face actual players.

And I've never heard of those maps, so I'll have to go find them.

Guys, I have bad news. Something's wrong with my Battlefront. It won't let me acsess the main server-at least, now with Firefox running. I'm going to try again with Firefox off, and see what results I get. If not, I'll do things as webadict suggested with images.

Bad news, everyone. It just doesn't want to work. So now I'm stumped for ideas. Because I'm far more skilled than the AI, any side with me on it is likely to win a lot more than the other one... any suggestions?

I like the idea of a 4-way Galactic Conquest; it's pretty much the poor man's Emperor of the Fading Suns.

That being said, I only have BF2 for the Xbox...which may not work.

Ok, because of a lack of ideas, I'm just going to turn this into a regular Let's Play! We need a name for our valiant hero, and his faction.
