Brian and i finally completed an entire Galactic Conquest in Battlefront II. i have 3 things to say:
- the sniper-class soldiers can only crouch, not lie completely on the ground, which they can do in Battlefront. it totally sucks. i mean, how’re you supposed to snipe effectively? duh.
- successfully defending one of your planets or, in this particular case since we played as the Rebellion, taking over planets under Imperial control, are nowhere near as satisfying as doing so in Battlefront, particularly if you play as the Empire. (though we haven’t completed a Galactic Conquest as Imperials, we may have played a battle or 2 as stormtroopers.)
- omg. if you have horrible allergies, like i do, battles on the planet Felucia are horrid. it’s an overgrown botanic garden. not only that, there’s pollen flying everwhere, not unlike the dandelion pollen that’s going to start floating around Chicago in the near future. i swear, when we play on that planet my eyes and nose start itch to and i get all sniffly.
we’ve just started another Galactic Conquest as Clone Troopers. we’ll see how that goes.
in other SW gaming news, i read this article last night on the Star Wars web site. a sequel to Star Wars LEGO: The Video Game is currently in development. i was happy to read that they’re improving the camera, which i hated about the first game, and a reason why i haven’t even finished it.
I’m kind of torn between 1 and 2 myself. Graphics, new classes, Heroes are all cool parts of BFII, but I kind of prefer the aiming and grenade physics of the first one. And people are STILL exploiting wall glitches
Heck, I’m about to boot it up now, you made me wanna play Conquest
You do realize that the pollen is not real
LEGOs and Star Wars was a great idea

T_T, welcome! it’s been a while since i’ve played BFI, so i can’t remember how the aiming is different.
there are wall glitches? on both of them?
Frodo, yes, of course. i guess not everyone appreciates my dry humor.
the wall glitches have something to do with droids being next to the walls. i never bothered to learn them because i dont play like that. i know you can do it in Kamino in BFI and Tatooine in BFII. people climb inside, and pretty much stay there til the match ends, since they can hit you, but you cant hit them.
that’s cheating! where’s the fun in that?
