The Swedish website BFCentral.se have conducted an interview with DICE Lead Designer, Lars Gustavsson. Here is the English translation: "EA lengthened the developing time, it was planned to be released in the autumn in the first place. How much has this affected the game? It has affected the game quite a lot. I feel that we have, when you're writing the design and then have the chance to play it, a game like this needs all the time it can get to be played back and forth. In BF:Vietnam we had a problem with e.g. the kits such as the M60. It was tight with time and it succeeded to sneak in somehow. Because we are going to have a ranking system in the game it is imp…

Star Wars: Republic Commando - Final thoughts... "After starting in, you'll begin to see that Republic Commando is stacked with character. In fact, each member of Delta Squad has his own personality. While they're part of the clone army, they're often referred to by other clones as "deluxe models" due to their higher training that not only gives them more skills but also unique traits that complement each other in a team unit. Because they're so functional together, they're given all of the nasty jobs that the normal clones would die trying. For the most part, I can dig this change in the clone philosophy. It kind of makes sense. A group of four that acts as a clo…
