Just a note...

Sweet!

Now to decide between Xbox and PC... Yes, I realize that graphics will be better on the PC. And yes, I realize that a kb/mouse is the better controller for FPS games.

But sitting on a couch in front of a HDTV surrounded by 5.1DD beats the hell out of sitting at a desk. 🙂

According to what I've read in the comments posted to Blue's News, it has 64 player LAN support for PC.

The LAN figures are double the online figures, so 32 for Xbox/PS2 and 64 for PC.

Hehe, it'll be Halo2 that convinces me to buy an Xbox. 🙂

 

[BCYL]

I will so be buying this game when it comes out...

 

[styrafoam]

I hope it's good, the game really has a ton of potential as far as content and playability are concerned. The fact that Lucasarts farmed it out to some no name people and the game being developed cross-platform are in a way two strikes against it.

Thanks,

Get a good chair, a big monitor, and a 5.1 speaker set.🙂
I don't know how close to your TV you sit, but I figure that the image on the monitor will occupy a larger area of your field of vision than the one on the TV will.

Well, there's always Jedi Outcast. Though you can't play as the Dark Side players. You can cheat though to access their saber styles. I always loved Desaan's overhand sweeping saber swings - much more efficient and effective than Kyle's slower windup-and-swing style, which often leaves him open to a quick slice from an opponent.


Hopefully the demo of Battlefront will be out soon.
