It is easy to get them mixed up...they're soo much alike.

Yeah, I hate the noob tube, too.  But it's always a great equalizer.  Especially when you're playing a clan that does nothing but camp.  That's the quickest way to root them all out.  Camping may be a legitimate strategy, but it's really lame.  No skill required.  Know what I mean?

I personally like the basic Deece.  I love that high rate of fire you can put on a target.  Doesn't take as long to take the droids out if you shoot them in the head, either.  Except for the Super Battle Droids.  It's not very effective against them.  Best to hit them with a ion grenade first and let them have it while they're stunned.  Rinse, and repeat.      Although, that Wookiee rocket launcher sure got the job done.

I like the way the game lets you control the squad a lot easier.  It always reminded me like a cross between Dark Forces and Rainbow Six (because you get a 4-man squad).  I never cared much for how Rainbow Six lets you control your squad mates.  It's similar, but just seems more fluid on Republic Commando.  Now, if they had a voice command recognition for your squad mates, like they did for Rainbow Six, that would have been really sweet.  The actual gameplay reminded me alot of Brothers in Arms--great actual gameplay, but the online multiplayer was weak.  Either because not enough people played it in multiplayer or what, but the multiplayer aspect of it just wasn't up to par, I think.  Maybe better maps?

Yeah, you do move a lot faster when you're doing multiplayer.  I noticed when you switch to your pistol you really can truck a lot faster than with your rifle, but when you switch back to you rifle you slow down pretty quick.  That helped crossing distances pretty quick, if you spawn on the other side of the map or something.  But if you run into an enemy while you're running back, you're pretty much hosed becasue they outgun you, before you can switch back.

Moving fast is the name of the game on multiplayer. A person can't kill you before you change weapons...unless you happen to turn a corner and they have a shotgun to your head. Especially if you have a scroll button on your mouse...changing weapons is cake. Multiplayer can be annoying the first couple of times you play it, but once you get the hang of it and get sorta good at it...it rocks! There are plenty of people playing it...there's maps with 30-40 people in them, which is plenty for the maps provided. By the way, private message me if you want to get a multiplayer game together... TheCloner already buzzed me and we're planning on getting a game together sometime soon... Teaming up and playing multiplayer with other Fett fans will rock if we can get it together!

GAH!!!YOU STOLE MY THOUGHTSSS!!!!!!!:P (jk)

I agree completely, fixer did have his moments though.

He lacks a sense of humor... I don't remember him laughing much with the other commandos in the game. He seems to me somewhat of a "goody goody" and stricto ratter...if ya catch my drift. He follows everything by the manual and any creative or inventive methods he's quick to scoff at 'em. He reminds me of one of those people who needs to loosen up and take a chill pill... the friend that when he's around, everything gets quiet and things aren't as fun anymore. Anyone agree with me? (btw, we are talking about Fixer)

                                                                                                     BB*

I think both of them did something like that.

Nothing's wrong with Fixer, he's a pure and uncomplicated soldier, he's the second-in-command of your squad and he aims better than Scorch!

I hope Sev didn't die, he aims even better than Fixer.

But Fixer still is the second-in-command and he still aims better than Scorch. And the campaign would be boring if Fixer wasn't there. Of course the campaign would also be boring if Scorch or Sev wasn't there. It's the whole squad that makes the campaign fun, really.

And another reason why Fixer should be noticed is that in the Republic ghost ship mission, Sev and Scorch didn't make it, while Fixer actually saved you. Well, at least he saved me...

Well of course parts of certain levels you need your teammates, but then you just go back and revive them.

And its not that hard to kill you team mates: Just snipe em in the head or use the vibro-blade.
