Underwater Battles

Darth Eclipse · 09-24-2008, 07:58 PM

I was just wondering if everyone thinks underwater battles are a good idea. I like the idea of it. Like it could be underwater on Naboo and the CIS could be attcking the Gungan City, so there would be some dry land fighting also.

GeneralPloKoon · 09-24-2008, 08:19 PM

I'd like it, I remember on the Clone Wars cartoon on Mon Calamari the space battle. But not very many levels though.

Darth Eclipse · 09-24-2008, 08:50 PM

Yeah, I REALLY hope they have at least a few underwater battles.

M@RS · 09-24-2008, 11:25 PM

I think this is a great idea... I'd love to have an underwater battle, and I'd like to be able to swim this time... That's one thing that bothers me in SWBF2, you can't swim... You just walk at the bottom and drown...

Darth Eclipse · 09-25-2008, 07:45 AM

Yeah, but the CIS shouldn't be able to go anywhere underwater besides in a vehicle and inside whatever other base is underwater.

Bokken · 09-25-2008, 12:18 PM

The CIS already don't drown or suffocate. There should be a special class that can go outside of bases, but only that one class.

Uh, wrong? Any unit (except droidekas - possibly, because of a special droideka-only parameter) takes damage underwater. And there's no such thing as "suffocation" - Polis Massa just has a damage region set up so that droid healthtypes don't take damage.

But I for one would love to see some real water - right now all we have is a glorified hardcoded damage region.

Last time I checked, if the Clone Wars cartoon was canon, droids don't suffocate underwater...

I was talking about a game mechanic, not about what showed up in a TV show.

Theone Thewayne · 11-24-2008, 07:47 AM

What I mean is two giant command posts and underwater vehicles who are generelly fighting each other. Maybe you could add some underwater tunnels for some man to man combat...

I think at Gametoast there's and underwater battle map you can download. I tried it out and thought is was good, but the jetpacks don't work well for some reason.

Are you serious?

M@RS: I'll visit the site again, soon.

Thank You

LordOfTheFish · 09-26-2008, 04:46 PM

Nice idea DE. I would play it.

Ping · 09-27-2008, 12:34 PM

Okay, since one of you guys asked for a link this is the download location here

Scoll down and click on the link to download. Have fun!

Darth Eclipse · 09-27-2008, 10:14 PM

I wish I could play it. I have it for Xbox...

GeneralPloKoon · 09-28-2008, 01:32 PM

Is that for BF2?

Ping · 09-28-2008, 03:03 PM

If it wasn't for BF2, I'd say it. Since I didn't say that, it is for BF2.

Oh yeah, how do you guys like the map?

M@RS · 09-28-2008, 03:23 PM

It's nice, but the jetpacks aren't very good... It wasn't how I thought it'd be, but it's still fun

Ping · 09-29-2008, 09:24 PM

I know how you feel about the jetpacks - maybe they short circuit underwater

. I also think that cp 1 (I think) is not capturable; I think the creator did this so there would be Quarren to fight (since the Quarren spawn from there).

Darth Eclipse · 09-30-2008, 08:43 PM

Are there any videos on Youtube that show that map? It sounds pretty cool...I really wish I could play it...

LordOfTheFish · 09-30-2008, 09:38 PM

Please, don't rub it in...

M@RS · 09-30-2008, 09:52 PM

^ What are you talking about?

Darth Eclipse · 10-01-2008, 07:04 PM

Yeah, really...What ARE you talking about???

LordOfTheFish · 10-03-2008, 11:12 PM

Please don't rub in the fact that you guys have live (or you just play the pc version) and I don't.

Darth Eclipse · 10-04-2008, 05:46 PM

I only have the Xbox Star Wars Battlefront. I sold my Xbox and now have an Xbox 360. I HAVE a good PC, I just don't have many PC games.

Theone Thewayne · 10-05-2008, 01:24 PM

I think the underwater lvls should be like a spacebattle in BFII.

what, slow, empty feeling and completely reliant on bombers?

LordOfTheFish · 10-05-2008, 02:27 PM

You mean like when Obi and Qui-gon go to the planet core on Naboo?

LordOfTheFish · 10-05-2008, 07:12 PM

Water gets shallow, why would it have to be in only deep water? What if a land level had an area where you fought underwater.

That would be nice if that happened, actually. Because I can see if it's solely underwater, things can get empty and a bit boring in the long run, like the space battles from BF II. So I like that idea of land and water combined. But maybe underwater there would be only a couple of CP's, so that the battle would be balanced instead of people focusing solely on land only...or water only.

GeneralPloKoon · 10-06-2008, 07:51 PM

Such as Mon Calamari! Republic starts on the Cruisers on the surface and the CIS are in the Quarren outpost.

Kit Fisto would have to be the republic hero obviously. Also there could have scuba-troopers, which would be awesome!!

LordOfTheFish · 10-07-2008, 05:07 PM

Precisely what I meant. Kinda like that episode of the original Clone Wars TV series.

Darth Eclipse · 10-10-2008, 07:06 PM

I will be even more happy to buy SWBF III if it has underwater battles, that would be so cool!!!

Darth Eclipse · 02-20-2009, 10:09 AM

I'll be happy if Star Wars Battlefront III at least comes out...

M@RS · 02-22-2009, 12:09 AM

I'd like scuba-troopers...

That'd be awesome...

Real quick in your sig... It gives a link and says to sign up to give you points? What can you do with those points?

LordOfTheFish · 02-22-2009, 12:56 AM

Gawd people are getting bad at bumping these days... I had no idea anyone still cared about this idea.
