[QUOTE=Pops;49896647]when did they add endor leia? is that part of this update as well?[/QUOTE] They added her outfit last month. it was one of the community goals. [QUOTE]kind of silly to have her with the poncho and everything [i]after[/i] the battle of endor. fuck's sake, dice, stick to the goddamn canon.[/QUOTE] Just like how its silly to have Vader and the Emperor fighting Luke on Hoth? Maybe she replaced her outfit afterwords, you can't expect her to go out fighting in her dress do you?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49898027]Maybe she replaced her outfit afterwords, you can't expect her to go out fighting in her dress do you?[/QUOTE] yeah, you're right. damn, for some reason i thought she was still in her battle fatigues like [i]literally everyone else.[/i]

I'm still confused on your point. What else should she wear?

well, i figured something like what she wore during the actual battle. [t]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e8/4f/92/e84f922fb3f859c12ff0e8bed5de78f9.jpg[/t] well shit, apparently this is all that was under the poncho. ignore me, i'm being extra retarded today.

If they did follow the canon that accurately we would have even less maps and weapons. Just keep your mind open

Err what? All the weapons in the game, bar a couple star cards and pick ups are from the movies. [editline]11th March 2016[/editline] The Outer Rim page on the official website shows a new weapon star card not in the movies, look like a Spas-12 with its front end turned sideways. Which is neat, keeps with the OT style of the weapons being made from real guns

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;49908872]If they did follow the canon that accurately we would have even less maps and weapons. Just keep your mind open[/QUOTE] No, not really. There are a lot of weapons just from the movies they could use.

[url]http://starwars.ea.com/en_GB/starwars/battlefront/outer-rim[/url] This page has the new weapon I mentioned

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49911428][url]http://starwars.ea.com/en_GB/starwars/battlefront/outer-rim[/url] This page has the new weapon I mentioned[/QUOTE] Looks like this. [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110208162122/republiccommando/images/0/0f/ACP_Array_Shotgun.jpg[/img]

wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by it. [editline]11th March 2016[/editline] Oh wow, ok, it is it. Really hard to find other angles on you on google, but this one clearly looks like a Sideways SPAS [t]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_super/6/62890/1557731-array_gun.jpg[/t]

Wow, I played Republic Commando religiously and never noticed the ACP was a sideways Spas.

well you can't really tell without the other angles. if someone could load up the game and maybe take screenshots of the world model, we could see more.

Wait, so they are adding weapons from Republic Commando now?

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;49912268]Wait, so they are adding weapons from Republic Commando now?[/QUOTE] Its just looks similar in design, i don't think they're actually meant to be the same thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's done as an homage. Republic Commando is one of the more popular Star Wars games out there [editline]11th March 2016[/editline] The commandos are canon too since they showed up in Clone Wars

[QUOTE=Wulfram;49912535] The commandos are canon too since they showed up in Clone Wars[/QUOTE] The Commandos are canon, but nothing else about the games is. All we really know is there are 4 Clone Commandos with the same names and appearances as the ones in the game. They're the only thing that has been made canon, and it doesn't go beyond them just existing in some way.

[QUOTE=nightlord;49912409]Its just looks similar in design, i don't think they're actually meant to be the same thing.[/QUOTE] the devs were clearly inspired by the design. I'm not saying it is meant to be the exact weapon, probably just a homage. The DLC page calls it the 'scatter gun' [editline]11th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=nightlord;49912597]The Commandos are canon, but nothing else about the games is.

the ACP array gun is in TCW [t]http://i.imgur.com/JFB79KH.jpg?2[/t]

That isn't the only RC gun to show up in Clone Wars, Gregor has a DC-17m in rifle configuration

[QUOTE=the_killer24;49927502]the ACP array gun is in TCW [t]http://i.imgur.com/JFB79KH.jpg?2[/t][/QUOTE] neat easter egg, as trandoshans in repcom had that as well.

Knights of The Fallen Empire just stole my heart for an MMO expansion Minor spoiler at best but when you reach Chapter 9 they apparently return interactions to the old KOTOR/2 style dialog,without the VAs too which is actually fucking awesome.

[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;49928869] Minor spoiler at best but when you reach Chapter 9 they apparently return interactions to the old KOTOR/2 style dialog,without the VAs too which is actually fucking awesome.[/QUOTE] As much as I liked the feature myself for the first hour or so, it becomes painfully apparent after a while that the whole thing is just a gimmick to save money on dubbing

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49928973]As much as I liked the feature myself for the first hour or so, it becomes painfully apparent after a while that the whole thing is just a gimmick to save money on dubbing[/QUOTE] Probably was but I like it.

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49928973]As much as I liked the feature myself for the first hour or so, it becomes painfully apparent after a while that the whole thing is just a gimmick to save money on dubbing[/QUOTE] More apparent when you realize almost every conversation branch nets the same response.

[QUOTE=Pops;49928480]neat easter egg, as trandoshans in repcom had that as well.[/QUOTE] Considering killer called it by its republic commando name, I think they know. We were talking about it last page. According to Wookieepedia Hondo's pirates also used it in a couple episodes

Ohhh the Relby-V10 is Bossk's rifle.

Wow. So there's an MMO game recently released on steam that uses what is very clearly SWG assets. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDVC4-ftMtU[/media] Some of the sounds, models, UI and even just gameplay ideas are taken directly from SWG. It even calls itself a "spiritual successor to Pre-NGE SWG" and the dev has said he hopes he gets sued.
