Yeah I know what scoreboards are mate. ;-)

I was like 5th on the Assault board last night. ;-) Enjoying it while I can before the robots get hold of the game and start adding a million points to the board everyday.

You have the basic scoreboard for each game type, saying who is where... then if you select a player you see how many kills and deaths they have, how many points and hero points they have, how many games they have finished and started, total time played and last game played.

They left out Bespin because in every Star Wars game it's managed to be the most aggrivatingly impossable battle ever.

Oh yeah, I mean proper scoreboards like the Rainbow Six kind not just ones that are summaries of individual games.

I mean cumulative scoreboards and rankings.

Does it have those?

Having infinite enemies sucks. :(

I'll still be getting this though.

Yup there are scoreboards. Campaign mode can be a chore - the objectives idea is all well and good, but certain things let it down. While you have a limited number of troops (which tends to rise a little when you achieve an objective), the CPU doesn't have a limitation. This means that more often than not, a shedload of enemy troops will come spewing out of one spawn point constantly, making it very difficult to take a position. Doesn't help much when your team are about as helpful as a bloke with no limbs. Plus you're the only one who can take a spawn point, so you can't take a supportive roll very much and you end up being forced to run upand down rushing through everything before the CPU just wipes out your band of retards.

That is only one of two complaints I have about the game. The other is the ATST - its pretty crap now and that makes Endor a pig to beat.

Other points about the game...

The ATAT is even more awesome than before now. No having two drivers anymore though. The one driver handles both the main guns and the cheek guns. Its alot better to use and shooting Snowspeeders down is easier than before.

Remember the pilots that repaired vehicles they were using ? Well you only see them on space missions now, so you can't repair a ground vehicle as you use it. The best you can do is to pick an engineer, then get out the vehicle and repair it manually.

Hoth space battle, Tatooine space battle, but no Endor space battle ??

Anyone feeling put off by the campaign mode, don't worry - theres conquest mode and thats a really good single player mode. Plays more like the old game, no objectives and you have more freedom to approach the battles, taking on more varied roles. With the points you win from the battles, you can spend them on more troop roles to select from and bonuses to use in other battles.

Some cool maps in the game, but I wonder why they left out Endor space battle and Bespin. Maybe they'll be downloadable content in the future.

I like to see if I'm improving and it's fun to have friendly competition with others on my friendlist.

No idea, maybe so they can have monthly reviews on what areas they are lacking skill so they can develop that ability more in hard 1 player training?
