So, over the course of the past few weeks, I've been joking around with my team about what we'd do if we'd design BF3. Of course, this actually led to a lot of interesting ideas, and brought up the B2 Battle Droid again. For some reason, the last meeting we had degenerated into 2 hours on a title we're working on, 1 hour on a team name( still hasn't happened ), and 1.5 hours on talking about the B2 Battle Droid and the comparison of the movie version vs. the battlefront version( a good majority of my team are BF enthusiasts).


Point in question: The B2 super battle droid from the movie is considered a hulking, slow, and powerful droid taking many hits before going down. Their repeating blasters fire quite quickly as seen from the battle of geonosis.

The BF1 and 2 versions slouch, and act more like a standard trooper, walking at a slant, and not towering. I mean, aren't they supposed to be scary? I remember trying to take the spire in BF1 and being like: "oh crap not a droideka, not now!" but I never seem to have those moments with the B2. Besides the B2 is supposed to be similar in power to a Droideka. Even free radical's version seemed toned down.

I would prefer B2's to be like those in the movies. I was just wondering your thoughts.

I agree that it should be a specailist unit because I didn't like how it replaced the regular battle droid.

Wow! Very well thought out. I guess thats why your a game designer.

I'd like the B1 as the main droid simply because I miss grenades while playing the CIS.

B2-Battle Droids I just didn't like, because how easily enemies' could headshot you when playing as one. They were weak, and nothing like how I, personally, expected them to play.

I think they should replace Magnaguards as the special class, unless they give Magnaguards their force pikes back. A Magnaguard without a force pike is like Darth Vader with a blaster, it's just not right.

They do need their electrostaves, but balancing of-course being the primary issue.

yeah, i suppose having a class that fights like a jedi would imbalance it. that's why they should just cut him, make the B2 the special class, and make the B1 the trooper class

Ahh okay, so I will change mine, B2 for special class.

Thats a good idea. Even though i never once thougt for the B2 to be special class. Every time i used him i thought it was fine. (I actually liked the rockets more than the grenades)
But the points u make are very good. Maybe he can be like a wookie execpt more tank-like in movement. And make himtower over the rest of the classes.
