Star Wars: Republic Commando

Post by Axis Kast »

Anybody else see the new trailer?

It looks sick.

Lucas should use cut-scenes like those to make the movies more action-package and enjoyable.

Yeah, I posted a link in G&C- it should be several pages down. Either way, without new screenshots to drool over, not much point in leaving this thread open.

What do you mean, sick?

The clonetroopers should have switch to rapid-fire mode and mowed the Geonosians off that wall. Not fired individual shots at them.

Their lack of discipline and close-range anti-crowd tactics is appaling.

Perhaps they were running low on ammunition (Havn't seen trailer yet so don't call me a moron if they were standing in front of a gunship full of extra clips)

The rifles capacity is 500 rounds per magazine, a typical solider today would have 300-400 rifle rounds total.

Probably a lot. A Rothana Arms DC-10 can hold enought power for 500 bolts. Clonetroopers carry several extra power packs.

I just thought I would mention that the commandos in the trailer weren't carrying the same large rifle that we saw cutting down droidekas in AOTC. It seems to be a shortened carbine like version. That probably means the version with the folding stock we saw in the film may be intended to fill the submachine gun role. I'm glad to see that the game's designers realized that the full-sized DC-15 rifle would have made manuvering around in those tunnels very difficult.
