[QUOTE=nightlord;52450338]Delta Squad appearing in the game is something i have mixed feelings on. I really like Clone Commandos and the Republic Commando game was awesome, along with Delta squad as actual characters...but those characters don't exist anymore. The Delta Squad that is canon is in no way the same as the one everyone thinks of, pretty much nothing about them is known now beyond their names and appereance. Just taking them and sticking them in without [I]any [/I]establishing of their characters beforehand would be such a missed opportunity. Still, i would like to see them in the game anyway. I suppose it's sort of similar to how they did the same with Shadowtroopers, Lavatroopers and several weapons without there being any prior information about those.[/QUOTE]
You act as if the canon wipe suddenly made their game and books not exist. I understand they aren't confirmed canon or whatever, but it doesn't keep me from sleeping at night. The games and books still exist to build those characters, it doesn't really matter if they're "canon" any more. At least I don't care.:v:

Also if they we get commandos in the game, should they be voiced by Tamuera Morrison?
One thing I'm going to miss is clones with different voices ala the og BF2, Republic Commando, etc...

Commandos will most likely be voiced by Bradley just like the rest of the clones(and just like they were in their cameo appearance in the cartoon). If they went the path of just making them heroes, then maybe we might get at least their respective voices from the original game, but I highly doubt that will be the case at all.

Having different voices for clones was always odd to me, makes more sense to have the same voice actor.
Baker's already shown he can pull off having characters with the same voice sound different enough in TCW - just look at Umbara or the Bad Batch arc.
There was a lore reason why Delta Squad had different voices, but I don't recall why.
Gameplay reason was so you could tell them apart.

The lore reason was in one of the books. iirc, they all do sound the same to everyone else, but 38 is able to hear subtleties in the voices of his squadmates which then manifest into their own individual voice in his mind.
I've been seeing a few people claim the AT-AT's in the last Battlefront are too small on other websites, but I extracted and measured the in game model, and it is around 22.5 meters tall, which is the canon height. (the snow trooper is around 6 feet tall)
Mind you the height in ESB was never really consistent anyways, if you compare the Snow Speeder getting stepped on, and Luke hanging from the belly.
people will always claim that the giant mechs of their favorite franchise are too small, no matter how humongous they are and no matter how well their given size fits the internal logic of the franchise
this i have learned from the idiot horde that is the WH40k fandom
I've been digging through the Battlefront 2 files with a Hex Editor, some interesting stuff I found in the UI file
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_cloaking_device - Cloaking Device, not sure what ship would use that, there are a few in the new canon, could be a new ship as well.
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_seismic_charge - Jango Fett's special ability?
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_astromech_droid_bb-8 - Probably Poe Dameron
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_resistance_ace - Probably another Poe Dameron ability
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_ion_cannons - Ion Cannons, Don't think this is for the Y-Wing (look below)
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_ion_turret_cannon - I think this one is Y-Wing because of the 'turret' part.
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_force_evasion
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_force_guidance - These two may be for Rey flying the Falcon
/spacebattles/ability_icons_ability_tail_gunner - Tail Gunner, any thoughts?

The only place the Clone Commando is mentioned, is in the weapons file, the UI file has no reference to the Clone Commando, just the Jet trooper.

Corra has uploaded the First Order voices. For some reason they call the resistance 'the defenders' in some audio?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52451833][video]https://youtu.be/4SKea_xhSQs[/video][/QUOTE]
They sound a bit too young, which actually kind of makes sense given that a bunch of First Order troops probably are teens. Also, a couple "TRAITOR!!"s in there, probably for Finn.
Also, a few actual curses in there; I heard a few "shits" and "fucks." No kriff/kark/karabast/sleemo apparently.
The question i have is the elite class for the First Order going to be TR-8R type baton trooper? because i really want to beat the the shit out of Jedi with a baton. :v:
Flame trooper maybe? I could see the baton working a bit like Jyn's in the last game. A star card that gives you a few OHKs.
Anyone still play StarWars Battlefront on PS4/PC?
Open beta info
[url]https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/07/10/star-wars-battlefront-ii-open-beta-hits-early-october-pre-order-to-play-early/[/url]

[editline]10th July 2017[/editline]
We're suppose to be learning more about space combat at Gamescom in august, I bet it is going to be that game mode
What does OT stand for? Original Timeline?
[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52453839]What does OT stand for? Original Timeline?[/QUOTE]
Original Trilogy.
PT and NT on the other hand mean Prequel Trilogy and New Trilogy respectively.
[QUOTE=Fancy Godgineer;52453848]Original Trilogy.

Most people I see call it the ST, Sequel Trilogy

[QUOTE=usaokay;52453857]So is she voiced by Daisy Ridely?[/QUOTE]
No. I believe it is the same voice actress they got to play Jyn in the Rogue One DLC.
[editline]10th July 2017[/editline]
Anyone know any good mods for Dark Forces 1 and 2? I don't mean graphical mods, I mean stuff like maps, total conversions, those kind of things.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;52454026]No. I believe it is the same voice actress they got to play Jyn in the Rogue One DLC.[/QUOTE]
To be fair she sounds a hell of a lot more like Daisy Ridley than she did Felicity Jones.

As hinted by Iden's actress being at D23, it has also been confirmed we'll be seeing more campaign stuff there.

[QUOTE=Alsojames;52451987]Cloaking? Come onnnnn TIE Phantom.[/QUOTE]
Making those canon would make me the happiest fanboy alive. Tie Phantoms are my favorite old EU Imperial fighters.
I think the cloak might be for TLJ spoilers:
[sp]Kylo Ren's TIE. I have zero evidence to back this up, but a new first order ship is going to be in the game according to the pre-order bonuses.[/sp]

Is that Chris Pine?
I don't see any resemblance.

If that's the same VO as Battlefront 2015, he's doing it worse. TBH I thought Lex Lang was closer to Harrison than this guy was anyway.
I saw this pointed out on reddit, but some of the hero voices lines are responses to other heroes, some of Solo's lines are responses to Boba Fett's lines towards him
