On the LucasArts.com website is the new trailer for Republic Commando. I think this a great demonstration of SquadLeaders in action, and wot type of role they play.

i dont know if you CANT READ or if your just plain dumb. it's called "Republic Commando" meaning a Commando that fights for the republic. there is no SL there. except for maybe YOU who gives out the orders to your team, and even then thats still no Squad Leader. and untill SWG becomes like RC, that will not be how a SL is portrayed

i dont know if your dumb or whatever you said earlier, but did you see wot the game was about ? Did you read the discription ? Did you notice the part about the squad usuage and leadership ?
Thanks for the personal attack right off the bat, good ole "knee jerk" reaction there

LOL so your definition of a squadleader is NOT someone in charge of a small squad of men, making the tactical descisions. ? Odd I thought that was the definition

ok listen here, you are a Republic Commando yourself. REPUBLIC COMMANDO! your a Commando. with some SL abilities.not nessesarily(sp?)a Squad Leader. and yes i did see the trailer. i didn't think too much of it. you give orders to your squad.
WHOAH! WATCH OUT! THIS GAME LOOKS GOOD! /sarcasm
this game is like Socom, only star wars style.
and once again, untill SWG combat becomes like that of RC, SL will never be portrayed like that

Ok, your too busy trying to only flame me to see the point. Your a squadleader ? IS that all you are ? Do you have a stockpile of unspent skillpoints because to be a SL you can only BE SquadLeader ? Of course not , i don't think your that silly.
The idea of the guy leading the "squad" of men , making the tactical decisions, being the inspiration in combat to perform was the point ! It's even represented in SWG this way, i am a squadleader , but i am also a marksman, a medic, and a scout. Wot makes me the squadleader is fact that your incharge of the group(squad) , in charge of the tactical decisions, the squad's safety and direction, etc.. To highlight this , the prof. is given squad-boosting ablitlities inorder to represent this aspect.
I don't care if you like the trailer, or the game , or even the game style. I'm not hyping this game, im not even suggestiong this game. I'm pointing out the example referencing, the genre of the squadleader. I'm showing you the Forest , and your only seeing the Trees.

Craker, leave it alone. You have your opinions (you hate everybody) and you aren't afraid to show them. GJ!
Better to not post than to post flaming insults just because you feel like it.
Also, Republic Commando is okay. I played it at Comic-Con, nice nice. I think the Clone Wars series on CN shows it much better, since you don't really have the luxury of playing, you can see the squad leaders in the clone armies really lay the smack down.

ok your obvioussly not seeing my point. im not flamming you just for the sake of flamming. yes i am a SL, and no i do have a combat profession. i have been a Rifleman since launch.
but i think your missing my point. in Republic Commando you just give your squad commands, in my perspective its like Socom, which was an okay game. if this is anything like socom then its not what an SL should be. if i wanted to issue Squad members commands, which i sometimes do, i do it in teamspeak. bottom line is IN MY OPINION that this is not what SL needs.
