Title: Most Impressive
Post by: jthompson333 on March 17, 2014, 11:46:08 AM
I am coming way late to the party I might add.

I just downloaded this mod, a couple of days ago...
And boy was I surprised. 
What a lot of great content, and re-playability.

Plus now, capital ships aren't made of glass.

Its a shame Petroglyph could not continue to work with you guys on this. 
The possibilities on this game are vast.  It could have gone even farther I suspect.

And I also suspect that this game can serve to help a lot of folks get their star wars strategy fix, since Disney and EA haven't really announced anything new.

At any rate, a couple of observations for what its worth- after a few days of playing.
I suspect, they may not matter as you have moved onto the Sins Rebellion mod.

-Ground combat seems to be really fast.
   Infantry are now like "The Flash" and seem to  be fairly pointless (except for capturing points, and some AA support)
   AT-AT's are much more squishy, or perhaps its because the refire rates are a lot higher on units it seems.
-Heroes seem to be quite squishy on the ground.
   I have to get use to the fact that I can't take Obi-Wan, and a few T-4's into battle and win a match lol
-Bombers seem to be very difficult to deal with in mass numbers
   BUT, it is nice that they don't die in two seconds to "Tartan Cruisers" (which don't exist anymore)
-Skirmish mode is "really" difficult for me against the AI on any difficulty
   I guess I'm getting old and have bad reflexes, but, man, for the life of me I can't beat the AI one on one in map control (i.e. mines, etc.)
   I've only managed to win one match, 1v1 with the NR. 
   Every other match I have to have an AI teammate to win.
-I have been playing GC as recruit, and I've been having a lot of fun, just trying to get used to all the changes.

Overall though, this is a great mod.

I can't imagine the time you guys have put into it.
I hope it makes a difference on your resume, because you guys have talent (or a lot of discipline and perseverance),  or both.

It's got me jobs before, not how you'd expect though.
