I then abandoned the smoking and damaged AT-ST to jump on a speeder bike, which proved to be rather different to control, accelerating much too quickly and careering spectacularly into the nearest tree.
Let's face it - souped-up fast-moving vehicles and densely packed woodland aren't a good mix. However, once you get used to the handling, it really is a thrilling ride as you weave deftly in and out of the trees, taking pot-shots at Stormtroopers and rival speeders. The battle maps are all different in look and feel, but also in how you play them," continued Zemke.
The ice planet Hoth, for example, is a huge battlefield, so vehicles are a lot more important. That's why we also give you the opportunity to set up moving spawn points - the AT-ATs are actually moving points for the rebels, so that when you lump back into the game, you appear right beneath them.
What's very smart is that you can be the rear gunner at the back of the Snow Speeder who shoots the tow cable at the Imperial Walkers. Hoth has wide-open spaces and is great for multiplayer, but the team has also built in some indoor levels, with quick fighting in enclosed tunnels. The rain-drenched ocean planet of Kamino is the next port of call, which involves an intense clash of Clone Troopers and the Droid Armies of the Separatists. The Droids have a decent selection of units, including the vicious plasma-pumping rolling robots the Droidekas, but it's the Clones, with the superb Jet Trooper unit that steals the show.
A backpack icon on the top-right of the screen shows the limited energy for the jetpack, which regenerates after a short time. To use the jetpack, you double-tap on the default spacebar jump key to send your trooper zooming into the air - definitely the best use of this gameplay feature since Tribes. Myself and the 15 other networked players had a fantastic battle on Kamino using the Jet Troopers, flying outside between the different platforms and steep pathways that are built precariously above the raging sea below, while also having to hold the control room in the shiny-floored white surroundings of the base interior.
It's actually quite hilarious when you and a dozen other Clones are running and jetting close together towards the next control point, like a Star Wars version of Benny Hill.
We basically decided that if you're going to do a sky map, this is the best one to use," says Zemke. It turns into a sky battle with X-Wings and TIE fiqhters, but you can also touch down on the platforms and run into rooms to take over spawn points.
It changes the nature of the game a little bit. But that'd be a great level, so we'll look at that for a possible future title or expansion. Plus, the fact that Battlefront will be launching the same day as the feverishly awaited DVD edition of the original Star Wars trilogy, September 21 will go down forever in the Jedi archives as the day responsible for the 'most sickies in a galaxy far, far away However, the outdoor Battlefront event in San Francisco's National Park, the Presidio, was also very special, with dozens of Stormtroopers and Rebels lining the forest route up to specially constructed tents housing 16 PCs all connected via LAN.
Also adding to the Endor atmosphere were the hidden speakers projecting Ewok chatter and a series of fires, echoing the ceremonial burning of Darth Vader in Return Of The Jedi. It's just a shame I forgot my Wookiee suit Begun, the Clone Wars most certainly have, but end in a protracted lawsuit, they quite possibly will. Impressed with the phenomenal success of EA's Battlefield franchise, LucasArts will soon, ahem, 'pay homage to' said series with a full-blown skirmish simulator of its own.
Dubbed Star Wars Battlefront, the title should make 'large-scale online warfare' a household term when it ships this year. The only question is, will this be the online shooter Star Wars fans have always dreamed of, or another slap in the face for loyal Wars buffs? Obviously hopeful of the former, we tracked down the Battlefront bods at LucasArts for an early look at their new project.
What we discovered was a game that builds cleverly on the Battlefield formula, as well as going out of its way to keep the fans that's you happy.
For the uninitiated, here's the gist. Participants plug in, link up, choose a team and blow each other sky high with an array of brand-specific weapons and vehicles. Like Battlefield, the main game sees you vying for control of a number of checkpoints in each map, and like Battlefield you can switch between firstand third-person perspectives at will.
