    Agreed. You would think in some 30-odd years, they would be using something else besides an X-Wing v.2. And you would think the First Order would be using something new besides TIE Fighters v.2. Between the Clone Wars and the Rebellion, even those ships changed and that was only 20-odd years.

    Some of the toys are calling it a "Special Forces TIE Fighter" (the one with the red highlight). So there will be 2 variants featured in the movie , the normal one and the one with the turret and red strip.

    Kylo ain't Luke. I think there's a set pick of Adam Driver being filmed without the helmet. And the shot in the trailer of Kylo walking up to Finn without the helmet should quiet any talk of that. Yes, they left stuff out of the trailer but throwing everything in would ruin the point of a trailer. And JJ should realize by now that with a movie with this rabid fandom, there are no secrets. If I can find a rumor-based synopsis of this movie and piece it together with what the trailers have shown...

    Only took 14 hours for that comment to show up. Guess the nerdgasm finally ended. You should consult your doctor for nerdgasms lasting more than a few hours.

    "Not actual gameplay." Yep. Ain't that the truth...

    I'm guessing those are

    When your opponent calmly walks up to you with their blade lowered, while you are gripping that hilt a wee bit hard, I just have 1 question. Finn, how would you like your ass served to you?
  8. azrael
    Which is exactly what I'm hoping it isn't.

    No. Doesn't matter if it's in Japanese or dubbed in English. If you want Macross, dubbed or subbed, get Harmony Gold to drop the trademark.

    Yeah, that's pretty big freakin' spoiler.

    Playing more Walker Assault... -Hoth map is pretty much a win for Imperials. Rebels can win but they have to dominate the skies. (Yes, the Rebels lost Hoth, but that battle also didn't have X-Wings, A-Wings, and TIE Fighters in the sky so they might as well balance it out). This map needs serious balancing. -They might want to bump up the cool down for thermal detonators. It gets 'nade spammy on Drop Zone when the pod capturing comes. -Vehicles and stationary weapons need a 1st-person view. Aiming the turret is a pain in 3rd-person. I already noted the AT-ST. I've heard the AT-AT is just as bad in judging where your shots will land. The beta's been extended for another day so get the complaints in while you still can.

    Now that I've played some Walker Assault... -Spawn system is really screwed up. And I mean REALLY screwed up. Died 5 times in 3 minutes just to a guy who was spawn camping most of the round. Other deaths from running into gunfire because the rest of the team knows the spawn. That needs to be fixed by release. Hell, they should patch it in beta now. That was my worst round. -Air superiority in Walker Assault will define the round so I would brush up on your flying skills. -If you play a hero pickup, prepare to be a blaster magnet. Thankfully you can move fast. But prepare to be a gunfire magnet. -On Hoth, open up with the sniper, then move in with your primary. The open terrain is a sniping paradise. -Graphics glitches. That needs to be polished by release. -AT-ST cross hairs does not line up with the camera view. I try to get some people off a hill and I shoot the face of the hill. Either put in a 1st-person view or fix the camera angle. Same with the missiles. Your missile will land somewhere in the cross hairs. -I see the glitch from the Frostbite engine remains. I had a partner that was stuck in shallow rocks. Little pebbles seem to be obstacles and jumping over stepping stones seems like a chore. Thanks for that DICE. More to come.

    Auto-aim on consoles. *snickers* Definitely not like Battlefield. Yes, it uses the same game engine as the Battlefield series (Frostbite 3), but the implementation is for Star Wars as opposed to modern world-FPS.

    Playing with the PC-master race. I'm getting the feeling this is a console port. Having the controller icon in the key mapping screen is not helping. Graphics are very good. 1st round I played, I died very quickly. It evened out on rounds 2 & 3. Not sure about the controls. I'm not getting the whole Cards-thing. Do not spawn on your partner. That's an insta-kill waiting to happen. There are some engine issues which stem from the earlier versions of the Battlefield which I'm guessing were not implemented for this game. Bummer. No flight stick support in the beta. If you want to fly, you are stuck with keyboard and mouse. I need to play some more to unlock some more stuff and then I'll see what happens.

    But but but but it's faster! Sometime in 2016. So how long do you want to wait?

    Don't worry Graham. Go ahead and post in this thread. Just trying to keep this thread from getting too speculative and too I-wishy like it did between the contest announcement to when the press announcement came out. The thread will reopen on press day. Until then patience.

    Try uninstalling the USB root hubs and then reinstall. If you have USB 3 ports, you'll need to grab the drivers to reinstall those. Try reinstalling the chipset drivers for that system. The next steps would probably require a house call. Try resetting the BIOS back to factory default. Check the insides to see if anything happened during transport (loose cable causing a surge). Bring a Linux live CD (Ubuntu, Knoppix) to see if it's a software problem. If that still hasn't resolved the issue, then I'm guessing hardware failure.

    OK, time to go dormant again. Join us for the hype-fest on October 29, 2015 (that's October 28, 2015, 0800 PST/1100 EST).

    Probably a spring tab. It would probably help to switch to non-right angled cables. Right-angled cables look nice, but terrible when you need your cables to perfom acrobatic twists. Especially when you have two 2.5" drives stacked on top of one another.

    Most mobo manufacturers ship SATA cables with clips to secure them into the port. I'm sure they sell them 3rd-party at Best Buy/Fry's. I would probably pick up a set. They can be more secure than the original SATA plugs. If the plug is taunt or being pushed by other cables, that could be a problem and could cause intermittent issues (it's basically a loose plug). My suggestion is go to Fry's or a MicroCenter and find some SATA cables with the clips built in and see if it helps. Try doing some cable management as well so that your cables are free from being snagged by other cables.

    When it comes to Macross canon, I would recommend looking at the bigger picture or summary. Avoid the details because one should view all Macross productions as retellings of historical events. Things have been dramatized. Even the games.

    Finally. We're going planet-side. Nice to have a change of scenery than the black background of outer space. Delta logo. Harem ending is best ending.

    Please stop giving them ideas. No matter how disgusting, sick or demented as they may be.
