On the subject of Gameplay; is it balanced so that the villains actually have a chance?

Stay on topic, everyone, please:
so I'd like to hear from anyone their preferences on two different maps they'd like to see hero assault on.

What about Luke and Mara? Are they gunners or Jedi? Sure, they do have lightsabers, but they seem to be weaker than the other Jedi, considering that they do not have force powers or explosives to fight tougher lightsaber-wielding opponents.

So, where do they fall in all this?

They're Jedi. They both have more powerful long-range attacks than regular Jedi have (the only long-range attack Jedi have is Force Pummel) and their saber attacks are better than average (but more importantly they are some of the more "easy to use" combos, which is more often than not what makes a Jedi hero feel powerful in the hands of a player). All you really need to "fight tougher lightsaber-wielding opponents" is another lightsaber - that's the real equalizer since every combo has a built in combo breaker (Force Finisher) and a block attack.

Seems like a good system.
I'm glad each combo has a COMBO BREAKER!!! built in. :wink:
Innovative lightsaber systems rock.
Still, I'm going to vote for Nar Shaada for Gunner, and Sullust for Hero Assault.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Maybe because of my old ne'er released Sullust Hero Assault map...

Well still, urban maps are practically made for hero assault, with the tight spaces and all. Most heroes use melee weapons, which would work well in close quarters. So yeah, I think you should use Nar Shadaa.

Since we are on the topic of Hero Assualt, are you going to add any new extra heroes like you did last time that are only available in Hero Assualt (Like Mace Windu, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Luke from the first Dark Times)

Yes, in Hero Assault. Luke Skywalker (Episode VI version) and Kento Marek were there too.

but its kind of a tie between Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa for Gunner Assault, so I'd be happy with either on
NAR SHADDAA definately for gunner assault, no contest there. as for hero assualt, ide have to agree with the crowd in saying that Sullust is the best choice.

by the way, has anyone ever thought of making Rham Kota's ship into a level? i loved that level in force unleashed, so i cant imagine how fun it would be in SWBF2.

You mean this? That's from Battlefront: Elite Squadron, not TFU; but if you are referring to the TIE factory level in The Force Unleashed, then the answer is 'yes', Mav' has a map that is loosely based on that location, it's called Balmorra: Outpost.

*off topic* Kota's starship looks too much like a Klingon Bird of Prey.

Back on topic, I'd go with what just about everyone else said. Sullust for Jedi Assault, Nar Shaddaa for Gunner Assault.

I am going to have to go with the rest of the crowd. Sullust for hero assault. Nar Shadda for gunner assault.

@Obi-Wan Kenobi: Dude, this mod has been out for nearly 29 days now; hero assault is already on Sullust and gunner assault is already on Nar Shaddaa. Play it and see.
