Got the game today after seeing it on member Drew's PC.
Awesome game, and great multiplayer.
You can add a ton of bots to it.
Going to try hosting later tonight with Andy.

You can pick to be different robots in the game I made, and I am sure you can also be human or alien too, I have not tried that yet.

Here are a few screenshots at 1024x768 res which I am running the game at flawlessly.

Editing for more shots
Yes, you can be other races besides robots in multiplayer.
After you select a map, a box will pop up asking if you want Clone Wars which uses the robots, or another type where you play and you get to be human.

I bought this game not really reading or seeing anything of it. I am happy to report it's fun. However I jave gotten totally locked up twice and have to reset. I am wondering if it's because I'm using the surround sound options, which sound killer by the way with my 7.1. Once in a ahiwl certain sounds lock up and repeat until level change or I quit a map.

Fun game.

 

Matt, maybe try turning off the EAX function?
I take it you are using the hardware support for your soundcard settings?
Also you do need the latest drivers for the card in case you do not have them.
Also the latest vid card drivers too.

Drew and I played the game last night, but we had to disconnect our firewall/Netgear routers.
It still did not work, but we figured it out.
When you host a game via IP address, you must choose to host the game from direct connection menu, and not the normal multiplayer menu.
A little confusing as to why they went this route, but we got it to work.
We will try it again later today leaving our routers hooked up this time.

I forget what these vehicles are called, but this is from the battle scene from the last movie Clone Wars.

You can also enter into these and do some heavy damage.
Here I am inside one of them firing on one of those ships that Anakin told the artillery guy's in the ship they were in to fire on the fuel cells to blow it up.
I think they are the Trade Confederate ships.

Lots of damage

This game rocks.
Also we had zero lag hosting over cable.
This is with two of us playing, and around 40 or so bots in the game.
They really made this game to play well with lots of players or bots in it.

 

i got it for xbox....single play is "ok"....multiplay is barely better.....doesnt have a permanant scoreboard, it doesnt let you see who is actually talking, bots are easy even on hardest difficulty, buggy (which is ashame considering my xbox is unmodded), servers are all pretty slow (might be because its a new release and good servers havent gotten it up yet), auto-aim in multiplay deletes any need for skill...

I hope its alot better for PC then it is for xbox, people playing on xbox live seem to really like it but I dont think its that great. The game in general needs some work too, the pilots can only drop so many health packs, and if they repaired a vehicle any slower they're class would be useless....oh and that rolling CIS thing with the shield is crazy over powerful....

heheh other then that the game is pretty fun, piloting one a vehicle with a bunch of teammates is pretty cool and other little things like that....

 

I get this problem also. Caulkt it up to new game bugs. hopfully it will addressed in a patch soon. EAX thing works but man full surround rocked.

 

i get it on xbox too....surround sound is really really buggy...and it freezes every so often....surprised that bug made it past development.....

 

I read on a Lucus Arts forum that the game was ported over for the PC from the console side in order to make fast $$$ for George.

Huge post.

However the game does look and play great on the PC.

I am running it with hardware support for the soundcard via the ops panel within the game, and full EAX on.
It sound really great with my 5.1 system as sounds scurry back and forth across all the satts.

 

There is now a 2nd patch out, 1.01.
http://support.lucasarts.com/patches/Battlefront.htm

 

After doing much more reading up on this game, I do not believe it is a ported game.
I remember reading several months ago there was a Star Wars game coming out much like Battelfield.
This game is it.

Reading the FAQ on the Lucas Arts site shows more patches coming down the line later to add stuff.

Found out what you can get with Media Player.
http://www.lucasforums.com/showthrea...hreadid=138410

Look for Drazek's post on using the seach function in Media Player.
This one is called Rage Imperial March or something like that.

I did not realize you could even do this with MP for searching for MP3s.
Learn something new everyday.
