Hero Assault (your input please!)

[Maveritchell]

Because there are several new heroes this time around, and just because hero assault is a fun mode to tool around in, I'm planning on adding at least a couple extra hero assault modes (in addition to the already-included Coruscant and Mos Eisley).

Any new hero assault mission will be on one of the new maps, and the maps right now I'm considering for hero assault are the following:

• Balmorra
• Sullust
• Mon Calamari
• Nar Shaddaa
• Kashyyyk

Frankly my choices here will be fairly arbitrary, so I figured I may as well see if anyone else has any preferences. I plan on adding probably one Jedi hero assault and one gunner hero assault, so I'd like to hear from anyone their preferences on two different maps they'd like to see hero assault on.

All those maps seem good for hero assault. I also think that Korriban and Tibrin would be good.

Tibrin for Gunner Assault and Korriban for Jedi assault.

Well, Sullust was practically made for Hero Assault, so I vote for having Jedi Hero Assault in Sullust; as for Gunner Hero Assault, I believe Nar Shaddaa would be quite fitting, since it has plenty of hazardous pits, a very open nature and looks like a good place for a firefight, besides, it's Nar Shaddaa, where else in the galaxy (besides Mos Eisley) would you most expect to see a band of bounty hunters and soldiers of fortune engaged in combat?

I had always thought that the Los Angeles underground might be a good place, but what do I know:

Yup, Sullust for Hero Assault and Nar Shaddaa for Gunner Assault.

[skelltor]

what is gunner assault?

[Nihillo]

what is gunner assault?

Hero Assault with heroes who carry guns instead of lightsabers (e.g.: Boba Fett).

[skelltor]

ahh ok thx thats a pretty good idea

what he said

[Twilight_Warrior]

Nar Shadaa - Gun Assault
Balmorra - Hero Assault

Nar Shadaa just SCREAMS gunfight and I always preferred the indoor lightsaber battles in BFII.

[Nova Hawk]

Yup, Sullust for Hero Assault and Nar Shaddaa for Gunner Assault.

Sounds good to me.

[Sky_216]

Nar Shaddaa sounds good to me.

@Mav: as the only one to have played all those maps + know what gameplay is like surely your opinion is important?

[Maveritchell]

know what gameplay is like surely your opinion is important?

I know, and I know that the final say in what goes where is mine. The five I have it narrowed down to are the five I believe will work best with hero assault, but further than that it's a wash. Since I don't have any particular investment in any specific two of the five, I figure I may as well see what people want.

[Anakin]

i don't know the new maps but Nar shadda sounds good.

from the original maps i would choose hoth or the death star

[TML]

I have to agree with the others by saying that Sullust is probably the best choice for Hero Assault, but its kind of a tie between Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa for Gunner Assault, so I'd be happy with either one

That sums it up for me...

But what about a space hero battle? Nobody has tried it before. It would be awesome!
Obi-Wan's ship, Jango/Boba's ship, Luke's Ship, Han's ship, Darth's ship, a rebel blockade runner for leia...

[CressAlbane]

rebel blockade runner for leia...

You do know that the blockade runner is massively gigantic?
Also, this would need to have lots of weird scripting, and weird vehicle spawn stuff to make it work so that each hero can only get in that ship.

[AQT]

Space heroes have already been done in the first Dark Times.

[CressAlbane]

Yes but not a full battle with them.

[mswf]

But that's not very relevant at all; space battles should be with ships vs. ships, if you'd make all units have special ships, the special-ness of a space hero units falls away. (IMHO)

[CressAlbane]

Mswf I agree with you on that point.
