Hello everyone! So far, the Star Wars Gaming Order is a 100% swbf2 community. If thats our only game, then I believe our players should be skilled at it. Im starting this thread so ppl can write suggestions and tricks about Star Wars Battlefront II, Hero Assault or Conquest. Post tactics, stradegies, short cuts, tricks, tips, and anything else that would give our SWGO players some extra knowledge when they fight! You may even post videoes. However, plz refrain from posting glitches.

Many of you may already know this one, but believe it or not, I've run into a few ppl who don't. They panic when their shields go down in the Space missions. You can always repair your shields. Just use the fusion cutter that is given to the pilot, stand near the destroyed shield generator, and repair it. Do not get too close to the glass or it will not work. This will take awhile, but is helpful. Also on ground battles you can use the fusion cutter to slice (hijack) enemy vehicles.

Heres a tactic for easy kills in Space Missions: First, ensure that the enemies shields are down, then select a soldier with a blaster rifle. Take a fast ship and fly directly into the docks, land, and get out. All of the enemies will be lightly armed because they are pilots. Open fire. Most will not return fire.

While in a space battle, take a transport to the enemy's space cruiser for sabotage. Land and make sure no one is in it or they will destroy it. When no one is in it, it will stay there for the rest of the battle. When you die, the transport acts as a command post for your team so you can go into the enemy ship much faster than taking another fighter from your hanger.

Likewise, YOU dont wanna be the one who has a big enemy transport in your hanger acting as an enemy command post, so its very important that if an enemy transport ever lands in your hanger, that you disregard the enemies getting out of the transport and focus on the transport first before more enemies can spawn.

Hope this helps and that SWGO will participate in this thread. Thank you

Thanks for the space strategies, Hobbit.
If you want to gun on hero assault, always stay on the rooftops at all costs. I also recommend adjusting view to third person. If you fall of the roof, then you are a very easy target on the ground. Also, if they use force push, you can recover on roofs, while if they push leia while on the ground, you will never get to recover.
Last of all, a great place to shoot wookie rockets is behind the two cylindrical barrels at the end of the arena opposite the sail barge. Simply crouch, fire rockets, and move to the ammo droid a few meters away when you need more ammo.

in HA never stay in the same place with a wookie, you will be targeted. only go to ammo droids when you need to b/c thats the place where the villains will first look for you. try to stay on the roofs as much as you can regardless, it makes it much easier to jump away after being pushed. plus it's easier to attack other people/sk, centerblock is made by blocking while facing towards the center of the map, as is center dash. float choke is good against pullers, Capture pullers by surprise, don't let them know that you are sneaking up on them and always keep your body completely hidden by an object b/c if they can see even part of you they can still pull you. Most of all, have fun.

Chin, If I'm aayla-ing, you won't catch me by surprise by that xD (but I lag lots so I have trouble with being a noob with lag)

When you say you think our members should be good at the only game we host, hobbit, do you mean we should get many kills, or be skilled at doing what we do?

e.g if you look at hero assault, then pulling and push spamming isn't skilled, but it'll get you kills, also with space, sure you'll get kills in the hanger, as you said, because they're lightly armed and easy targets, but this mean you're giving yourself an advantage over them, but I'd say it required more SKILL to kill people from the cockpit of a fighter :D

If you answer this then I'll try and give tips, it just depends on what you meant by "good"

Well Corpse, I must admit I don't like the position your trying to put me in. To answer your question though, most ppl should know what "skilled" means. I would like SWGO not only to stand out for, hopefully, their maturity and politeness, but also for having skill in the game. That includes knowing the maps, tricks, and tactics, but also being able to get kills.

Pulling and pushing are as much of a way to gain kills as gunning is. Just as you can be skilled at gunning, you can be skilled at forcing. Its a weapon Lucas Arts gave us and if you complain about this weapon, you minus well complain about them all.

About your cockpit theory, I agree with you. It probably does take more skill to kill ppl using a fighter in space then it does using my tactic. However, isn't your goal to give you and your team an advantage over the enemy team, anyway you can?

I'll say this again. I started this thread so that members can give advise to other members about ways to play skillfully. I'm quite certain that I explained that already. Instead Corpse, you asked a fairly pointless question and put me in a position where I had to answer it. I must admit, your thing about how certain tactics of play render skill and the ability to get kills different was rather clever, but still pointless. This thread is for sharing tactics, tips, and tricks, and not to complain and ask stupid questions. Thank you

Hobbit, you're starting down a slippery slope. Look at GMRZ, they thought the same thing. They were hated by practically everyone. Don't know if they still are now, but meh.

hobbit, those were not stupid questions, They were very valid, There is indeed a difference between having skill and getting a lot of kills. if we are trying to show politeness as swgo members, then don't put others down. k? nargotah, lets not talk about gmrz and bring up old conflicts :(

If you already answered my question why didn't you just quote it instead of writing a book?

"if you complain about this weapon, you might as well complain about them all. "

But I don't complain, whining is for circus dwarfs.

"I don't like the position your trying to put me in. "

Tried and succeeded, but I wasn't putting you in any position (I'm hetro) I was asking a question, most people do it at one time or another, I hope you learn not to feel uncomfortable while answering questions.

" I must admit, your thing about how certain tactics of play render skill and the ability to get kills different was rather clever"

Thanks, but it's not an idea, it's basically saying "just 'cause you get kills by SKing doesn't mean you're an uber pwnz0r h4x"

"isn't your goal to give you and your team an advantage over the enemy team, anyway you can?"

No, my goal is to have fun, why should I care about helping a bunch of arrogant morons with attitude problems? (it's generally what my team usually consists of, with some exceptions) I'll do anything in the game if it's fun and doesn't violate the server's rules and as long as it doesn't upset people who I usually get on with well.

"but still pointless."

You're pointless.

"and not to complain and ask stupid questions"

I didn't complain, you did, circus dwarf.

Ok, first Nargotah. I don't know what you're talking about with the GMRZ thing, so I'm just gonna disregard that.

I said Corpse's question, about whether I was referring to skill or getting kills, was stupid because it was obvious. The word "good" is in the eye of the beholder. If all you do is kill, then you'd consider "good" to be getting lots of kills. If you want to play the game to the fullest by using stradegies and tactics, then you'd consider that to be "good." However, what I meant by "good" or "skill" isnt at all what the thread was about. Corpse has a point about the difference between skill and getting kills, but if he just looked at what I, Jrod, and you, Chin, did he would've been able to see that this thread is for sharing tactics, know er what your view of "skill" is. (Who put that pic in my message?)

Also Chin, I don't know what on earth you're talking about with "putting others down." I said that SWGO's members are supposed to be polite and mature. If you think that that suggested that there are SWGO members who aren't mature or polite, then youre wrong. Even though there always is at least one person who misrepresents a community, I mentioned no specifics, or anything, saying that.

Ill answer all your questions, Corpse. First of all, you wanted me to answer all your dumb questions. So I did.

In MY opinion, you were complaining about forcing and I'm pretty sure you were. If not, then I apoligize.

I have no problem answering questions. And you DID put me in a position:
(1)"When you say you think our members should be good at the only game we host, hobbit, do you mean we should get many kills, or be skilled at doing what we do?"
(2)"If you answer this then I'll try and give tips, it just depends on what you meant by "good""
You specifically asked me questions and in your own little way, as shown by quote number 2, put me in a position where I had to answer them.

If your goal isnt to help your team, but to have fun, I'm completely fine with that. But alot of ppl want to win and help there team out.

"You're pointless." That is the most childish thing I've ever heard on these forums.

I answered you're question and told you I didnt like the position you put me in. I dont think I complained at all.

Edit: Issue has been resolved.

All right guys, cool your jets.
If your post has nothing relevant to this topic in the form of tactics, strategy or tricks; get out.

The best play style for the no force game, is to make your opponent miss then attack. Most players who attempt to predict people with characters like Vader and Obi-Wan often are the first to die.
