Yeah, I was incredibly releaved to have an LA game that didn't have a single mentioin of lightsabers or Force powers. I mean, in KOTOR I was so angry I couldnt stay a normal soldier that I alwqays fought with pistols and never lightsabwers! (Except in saber duels.

) First-person-shooters are the
real strategic ones; there aren't a ton of one-hit kills like in JA.
Anyway, on-topic: that
is a pretty cool theory, but like TK or Oidar said, you can hear the distinct sound of a droideka firing in the comm (I heard it myself and recognized it instantly) showing it was simply Seperatists.
Hopefully we get to save Sev in a sequel.
