The places in the shipped maps are few and far between for that because she's in maps that are close quarters combat.

Yeah, I was thinking about Lando with a sniper rifle (quite same as Leia but blue or something) or a Han Solo & Fett type rifle (which is practically as usefull as a sniper) but I haven't seent him or his weapon so I don't know. I agree, with the sniping opportunities Leia is a good choice, I was just thinking If Lando had the same weapon type he would be even better.

Continuing my last post, I asked Teancum about Lando on his Tatooine thread and he said lando was alot like Han and had a DH 17 Blaster. So I guess he will have Han's animations.

This site states it's short-range (30m optimum). I think it will be like Han's and Boba's.

P.S. I played the map online and it was very smooth, no problem at all. The wooden door (opening) in the tunnels is extremely fun, You can lay mines in that entrance and then walk up to the right onto some higher terrain, evade all detonators and launch a nice rocket in the opening

It killed Leia 3 times

ROFL GREAT MAP !!!

Very nice! Kind of reminds me of the old Bond games for n64. I have a question though, did you make the greenhouse section to look like part of the greenhouse in the Harry Potter video games? Because it reminds me a lot of it.

Heh, lots of people getting reminded of other things with this map. A good thing I guess.
I didn't take any ideas from anywhere but my head. One of my friends suggested a king-of-the-hill situation, which is where the pyramid came from, but that's about it.

I like this map a lot. So much, in fact, that I'm going to tailor an entire sidequest of my Star Wars RP based on this map. It's a nice, refreshing taste of originality in the universe with a myriad of enjoyable playing zones.

I must admit that I had a few accidents in the greenhouse area. In the walkway over the abyss, I didn't realize there was a hole in the middle of the platform until I walked through it. lawl

My favorite area is probably the central tunnel that has varying terrain heights. It feels a lot like a tournament-style paintball game; lots of cover, fast-paced, targets only revealing themselves for a short period.

All I would request is that you release a version that pits Empire vs. Republic. Regardless, it's an excellent map.

Now I'm mad that I uninstalled BF2.

Incredible map. Just flat out cool. No joke.

Imho maybe the best custom map for BF2 yet.
It's got a great atmosphere, colors & lights, lots of different areas and all of it is very well mended together.
One can feel the hours you spent building it!
A refrenshingly different approach from "let's put some vehicles on a plain with some mountains and call it a map" - maps.
This is a 1st/3rd person shooter game, not a racing game & Squipple got the knack for it!
