I remember when my brothers and I, when we were still little kids, found a way to walk outside of the ships. It required pretty precise landed of any given fighter/bomber/mobile base halfway inside and outside of the ship's hangar. You know you did it right when you hop out of the vehicle and you're on the outside of the shield. Course, if you jumped off the ship you were dead af. But you could still walk on the bottom rim of the ship, and if you timed it right and hit just the right spot, you could get onto the other ships (I think this was dependent on the map).

We all remember how it was, the instant action, playing as our favorite heroes or villains, witnessing the end of the republic through the eyes of the 501st. Are there any doubts this was the prime of star wars gaming? Perhaps, but no one has said a word against that idea. Not when 2005 came, not when revenge of the sith released, and not when we booted up battlefront 2 for the first time. Not a word.

Yes, the cover nodes were part of the map, as a level designer on the game I can attest to that. The node was placeable by the level designer, and had range of attraction, direction to face, kneel or stand, weapon, time to stay and direction to leave in. All weighted, so there was some randomness. I personally placed 750 nodes on Endor, 4 on every tree and cover, to face at least four directions and have the right stance for the direction faced.

I still play the game to this day, and still find it one of the most enjoyable and replayable experiences in gaming. Are there any other development insights that a level designer might be able to share here?
@Percopius Жыл бұрын
@@_draxin_0514 Thanks! There are lots of things that are important in level design, but continuing on the subject of cover I mentioned, one thing that is super important in shooters is the synchronization of terrain heights and player character height (in games with explicit cover, as opposed to run and gun games). In games with cover systems, there is normally a set 'half' cover height (you shoot over) that either the normal crouched gunline can shoot over, or the pop up gun line can do the same over the cover (if there is an explicit shoot from cover command). There is also standing cover that behaves the same, except you don't crouch. So there is normally three cover types, crouching, standing and 'round the corner' (at edge of the wall or half cover). It is possible to tie the crouch height to the terrain you are in cover with, allowing variable half cover heights, but most games tend to have a standard cover heights for terrain, and also the player character tends to have the same height when standing and crouching to better mesh with this. The Division 2 has a really well developed system of cover, with an explicit 'go into cover' command, with a lot of control options to fine tune the behavior, and the ability to move along a cover line, and pop up or around with a lot of precision; I really like the implementation. Different game do it differently, but what I mentioned above still holds true to a large extent. The art is where the cover is placed, the distance between covers, and the fire lanes it creates. I'm sure this is well known to most and yourself, but it's worth thinking about and exploring the idea and mechanics of cover, and it can be helpful in playing certain games better as you can deduct this design principle rather easily when you are looking for it.

Teenage me literally burned out an XBOX and wore out a chair (yes really) playing these (Bounty Hunter was on GameCube oddly). I adored Jango Fett and his clones at first sight. The fact that this game let me play as OG clone troopers kept me in a state of euphoria for quite some time. Honorable mention to the Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith games. They weren't as good as the aforementioned, but I still had some solid fun with them.
