Nope, they're taking their time this time.

I have made yet another update. I think I hold the record for the most times a user has edited his post.

I gotta quit posting so much in my own thread.

Anyway, someone just bumped a really old thread of Staurn's at LA about the Probots. Here's screenie for any who haven't seen them:

Does that mean Pandemic didn't take it when they made SWBF ?...

Nope, they really rushed it to elease it alongside the OT DVDs. For info on everything they deleted (most of it anyway), go here:

OK, thanks !...

hm... I'd be more happy to see 1,3 patch out rather than SWBF2 is done sooner

we all know its gonna be great anyway

and its not fair that its only U.S. guys who can use 1,3 BETA

lol

btw Gynt_Rules, you mention a couple of times in page 2, things like: "more upgrades added" and such - but where can I see those upgrades?

By updates, I meant I had gone back to my original post and edited it to add something I didn't know or had forgotten before. I've edited my post 15 times now, and it has probably quadrupled in size from my original post.

Although 1.3 Beta may appear to work ok with your one in norway guarder, remember that it is a beta and that lucas arts support website says "Reminder this is a BETA version for Battlefront and may not work on all systems and is for the U.S. version of the game only" so who knows what conflicts or stuff it is doing, maybe nothing but it is still only a beta, and they do say it's only for US so it's worth taking that into consideration.

Gynt, Obi-Wan has force pull, not force speed. Watch the E3 demo and pause it when he selects him. When you look at his "weapons", it will show lightsaber and force pull.

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 11:22 am

Maybe - As a true Jedi - Obi-Wan has several Force powers ?...

Hakk9 · Post by **Hakk9** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 11:55 am

No, Obi-Wan doesn't have more than one...I don't know where he Gynt got force speed from...In the demo, he was jumping along the whole time, so it made it seem like he had force speed. But, all of them are true Jedi/Dark Jedi/Sith. They only have one force power each, which I think could be changed. All of them should have force push. That's basic.

Post by **Qdin** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 12:11 pm

yeah - I agree with you

I'd like to play as Jedi/Sith and also make a LOT of combo's like in the Jedi Knight Games

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 12:15 pm

Like Force Jump, Force Speed and Force Pull in Jedi Outcast...

Hakk9 · Post by **Hakk9** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 12:28 pm

Well, if that happened, you would be unbeatable. By the way, they can't use those moves without rewriting the physics engine, so the Jedi are going to have just basic moves, but it will still be pretty cool. I think the only disappointment comes when it is compared to the Jedi Knight series. There is no beating the control you have over your character in those games.

I want to list another rumor. On the LucasArts forums, I heard that they will combine the old levels that were on the same planet. For example: You know that they are remapping all the old levels due to lack of accuracy when compared to the movies. You know that the new planets in BF2 will only feature one battleground (not counting space), as opposed to the original where most planets had two battlefronts. Take Tatooine. It had two innacurate levels. They decided to combine them, so it would fit with the rest of the game (you know, only one battlefront per planet--this allows for more planets). So, they "combined" them. Although, not really, because they just got rid of both of them when they made one huge level.
-----So, there is the new rumour. Mos Eisley + Dune Sea = Bad awesome level. Same goes for Bespin, Yavin IV, Kashyyyk, etc.
