Underwater Battles

[Darth Eclipse]

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]

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]

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

[M@RS]

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]

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

[bokkenblader56]

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.

[Maveritchell]

The CIS already don't drown or suffocate.

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.

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.

[LordOfTheFish]

Nice idea DE. I would play it.

Ooh, could you give a link?

Are you serious?



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

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

Thank You :D

Okay, since one of you guys asked for a link this is the download location here (http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=11775)

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

[Darth Eclipse]

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

Is that for BF2?

[Ma ping]

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]

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

[Ma ping]

I know how you feel about the jetpacks - maybe they short circuit underwater :lol:. 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]

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

[LordOfTheFish]

Please, don't rub it in...

[M@RS]

^ What are you talking about?

[Darth Eclipse]

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

[LordOfTheFish]

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]

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]

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

[LordOfTheFish]

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

[jawathehutt]

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

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

[LordOfTheFish]

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.

[GeneralPloKoon]

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

[LordOfTheFish]

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

[Darth Eclipse]

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

[Maveritchell]

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]

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...
