This is not a rant, just wondering why, these games are just so star warsy and put u in the game. Something u cannot get from SWG. Just want your thoughts on this, oh, commandos actually get star wars commando weapons,yay.

Because SWG is more fun....I think they brainwash us to keep us coming back.

SWG is not more fun at all, I only come and play for the friends I got online and thats it, but as far as fun and exciting goes, battlefield and commando for xbox rules.


Seriously, if we had those commando weapons, it might be fun for us on SWG.

So your saying thata piece of grapichs, like a new gun, made my a model and a skin, can make a game fun?


First of all, you cannot compare does games with SWG!


SWG is a MMO, does are shooters!


I have played FPS since Doom and Quake era, and personaly, im tired of does games! I feel they lack of depth, and thats why I wanted to play a MMOG in the first place!

I have just grown apart from does game, but it's too early to judge since they have not been released.


When it comes to Starwars games, im really looking farward to KOTOR2:Sith lords and Jump to lightspeed

It's better if you like more personal interaction. There's so much more to do in SWG than in an xbox game. On the xbox, can you be part of a player city ? Can you become the mayor of your city? Can you meet someone and get married? Can you found a guild, form your own militia? Purchase your own speederbike? Does the game change and evolve over time to add more adventures, more content? Will there be an expansion for the xbox games? I don't know much about the console games anymore, so maybe you can do some of these things. But I believe there's so much more to the MMORPG SWG than there is to the console xbox games.

Im not saying there isnt more to do, Im saying why does SWG get the shaft on weapons and content. Ive been playing this game since beta and the content has been nonexisting since launch, its a constant grind and really nothing to look forward to, no working specials, no extras really at master and this is not just commando. Ive done every combat profession and the only ones that really work are rifleman, TKM, and fencer. It erks me everytime I destroy a master commando or MBH with very little effort. Hell, I can stand there for 2 minutes and they would even hit me (this is my fencer/swordsman/TK). When I think commandos, I think big dmg and bad mofos. I used to be an Army Ranger and saw some real commandos, let me tell u there is alot more they should do with this profession.

I see your point, and I agree completely. I've made a number of posts outlining changes for commando to make it more like what a commando actually does, according to what I've read. This, of course, does not make me an expert, but at least I'm interested in making the profession a decent representation of what people think when they hear the word 'commando'.

Sounds to me like you never played half-life....first game where you learned everything from what you see and hear ingame, not through crappy movie sceens. smoothest running game and exelent graphics ( if you download the high res pack, and set your graphics on open gl @ 800X600 res or higher )


Best game to buy for the pc, ever. Simply because you cant find what not to do with the game, after beating it you play online with mods, or make your own weapon/player models, skins, sounds, or your own map.


Svencoop firearms counterstrike:CZ day of defeat are all very good mods.

Because, similar to real life, you aren't forced down only one path.


It's how you choose to play the game that will decide if a FPS or TActical SHooter is more your speed.


This is a MMO Role Playing Game, it goes way beyond combat.


And you're still here right?

I have the first Deus Ex. It got a little repetative, and the music didnt get me going. If anything, the sound ( which is an important aspect in a game ) was realy lacking.

MY real beef with the game is no onlineplay, dificulty to mod, and little replay value.

The aiming was kind dumb at first but once you got used to it, it realy dragged you in the feel of being special agent type robot leet d00d. Story was good too, but not enough nudity...the cup is half emtpy..
