they need an immersive FPS SP game, kind of like kotor, but more action based. Screw missions, I prefer more like the galaxy of KOTOR, but without mission limitations. Kind of like a cross between GTA and Jedi Academy. Go WHEREEVER you want, do whatever you want, and it affects you.

Okay, i admit, it was only good for a while. It does get extremely boring. _______________ Padawan to Solitude "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to... suffering" -Jedi Master Yoda "I shall not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will allow it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone i will turn my inner eye to see its path. Where fear has gone there will be nothing. Only i will remain." -Bene Gesserit Litany, Dune |

Quote: Solitude I hope you know that it was widly publicized that Galactic Battlegrounds utilized the game engine from AoE. So its not a "rip-off" No, but they were too lazy to make their own engine, and instead went for a well-known (or perhaps, well-selling?) engine to make a horrible game, based on an already horrible game series. |

Quote: Anybody played age of empires? i've got a star wars version of that, called galactic battlegrounds. it should be a bit like that, but actually it looks similar to star wars force commander.

While we're talking about RTS games here, I'm disappointed that noone's mentioned Starcraft or the Homeworld series - IMO the best RTS games out there. Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on it too - if only for the graphics. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

How about playing the role of a Stormtrooper as you go through Basic Training, rise from Private, to PFC, to Corporal, to Sergeant, then attend Officer Candidate School/Carida and become a Lieutenant, and finally become a Captain all set on the backdrop of the Galactic Civil War. That would be interesting. Or the Rebel Equivilent with resistance flavoured missions as opposed to oppression flavoured missions. _______________ Some friends wear pants, some don't. |

Rome is the ultimate strategy (or any other Total War). I wouldn't mind seeing a more squad based Star Wars strategy with better tactics other than just pour in troops and wish. _______________ Padawan to the great Jacen Aratan! <Setementor> Scythus is a genius!

It's a strategy game. Oh nooo... Actually it looks pretty cool. But when I saw the rebels and the empire ships firing at eachother with red and BLUE lasers, I thought, "wtf." Doesn't LucasArts get tired with making Star Wars games? I mean I love them, but gee, remaking what's already been made with slight changes and better graphics. I say, go for it! _______________ slorp |

Well, I hope it turns out better than SWGalactice Battle Grounds. That game was so slow pased it took about an hour just to see a first battle. Either way, Star Craft takes the cup in this genera. Maybe if all the other RTS games weren't practically the same, I might raise an eyebrow. _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan |

Sweet! Looks like another Battlefront. Though, I like Battlefront because you can do both eras of the wars, the clone vs droid and rebel vs imperial. This game doesn't look like it has that option, although, it's possible it could be able to be modded. Maybe it's more like the Battlefield games this time, where you have options to install and load mods. _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.
