Being able to instaswing off of a blocked shot is what makes me, as a gunner, feel hopeless in 1v1s against good jedi. But I'm not sure that's a problem, since I don't think lone, non-specialist blaster dudes have a right to be able to go toe-to-toe with lone Jedi. I'm fine with basic gunners...

ayy. Always cool to see more progress and activity on this 13 year old game. How many Project Leaders are there at this point? The end of the month will be Halloween. Can you promise me you're not just talking about a goofy Halloween thing

Those are some really hot facts. It's really cool that MB2 got recognition among developers, and got random mentions by TotalBiscuit and company. I still think my argument holds up, that a stronger brand could be built with a different name, and that the increase might entirely compensate for...

I hella appreciate your points, and the incredibly even tone of this conversation. How strong is the Movie Battles brand, recognition-wise, at this point? I'm kind of figuring that the current population is low enough that we can afford to let go of the old brand and start building a fresh...

hey I appreciate your points. I have some thoughts and maybe counterpoints, though. Changing instances of "Movie Battles" strings in code to something else isn't really a massive task. Arguably, file names don't even need to be changed. I mean, Team Fortress 2 still launches as "hl2.exe." And...

I'm a fan of Star Wars: Strike Force. the MBII team doesn't have a clear consensus on whether the name can change now... For: Helix liked my post. Hexodius said he's not against a name change. For-ish: Good Ol' Ben said the name is quite shit but he can't think of a better one. Against...

continuing my sincere but clumsy attempts to feel towards a better name: what about something with "Incursion" in it? All of the battles in MB2 are... after all... incursions. They're all sudden, small-scale tactical assaults on specific targets in enemy territory. The nature of the word suits...

Presumably because not many clones play with Stamina 2+

A Thrawn Commander model.... I would hope the taunt would 100% always be "I will pull the Rebels apart piece by piece," so that I would could play as an undignified melee-only Thrawn who just spams that. or wait, maybe the taunt should be "The Emperor recently promoted me," so you can spam it...

... Alright, while "Arena of the Force" expresses the best "feeling," in my opinion, it's intolerable that "Arena Of" feels so unnatural to say. The name has to flllloooowwww. If we wanted to get more... abstract, more allusive, what about something like "Will of the Force." I've been figuring...

Good point. "Arena" Star Wars Arena, or Galactic Arena, or Arena of the Force, or something. Are we allowed to use "Star Wars" in the name? That sounds dangerous. ...I do like "Arena of the Force," because all of the conflicts are fundamentally caused by the battle between the Light and Dark...

Can we discuss name ideas then? Conceptually-related, well-known games have names like Counter-Strike, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Insurgency....... Blade Symphony...... Planetside...?? I'm thinking about what makes those names "work." I'll put these ideas in a spoiler tag again since my...

a short story in 1080p60fps life is intense as a melee mando.

Bear in mind that it's evolved a ton over those 13 years, and there's still significant mechanical revamps happening in recent patches (like: flinch). I don't see a reason to be saddled to such a weak name, except out of respect for those 13 years of history and progress. Which I understand, but...

It's probably at least a decade too late for this to be a serious topic, but I want to bring it up anyway. This game is a really unique tactical Star Wars shooter. In my opinion, it's unreasonably fantastic as a tactical, mindgames-based game, it's pretty good as a Star Wars fanservice "do cool...

A super slow heal seems like it would necessarily prolong rounds, as people retreat and hide to very slowly heal their 400 hp wookiee back to full health. The Hero can already self-heal up to certain thresholds, which... already has some prolonging potential since it lets you tank an infinite...

How does aiming at the feet change blaster deflection? (I've seen people aim at feet a few times but never understood why)

Is deflect considered weak? I was under the impression it was just considered boring. As a gunner, when I meet a D3 player I feel like I lose all my options. Although... can a force user push immediately after deflecting? If they can, then they can kill me for dodging their deflects, meaning I...

Zard is a super fragile target to gunners but at the same time, I think Fly + Flamethrower is deliriously strong against sword people for as long as your fuel lasts. Maybe zard needs more flamethrower ammo and... a ton more health?

um_downfall (and um_downfall_guns) crashes immediately after fully loading (so for a moment I get to actually see the map, then it crashes.) For me, anyway. I verified my files and it still crashes. When I went to the Official FA server (when it was empty) and RTV'd to downfall, after I...
