:D

I hope this isn't old news.

Look at the trailer. You play an ARC Trooper I imagine.

Seen it. Have it saved on my comp. It was announced a few months ago at E3.

Btw,Those guys look nothing like the ARC troopers I've seen in the comics. They may be a separate group. But I definitely like prefer the look of the troopers in the trailer. Much more realistic. Sensibly equipped for close quarters fighting. And the armor is closer to the look of the classic stormtroopers.

But as far as the game is concerned, I'm not getting my hopes up until I see some in-engine footage. That trailer looks like FMV to me.

Their weapons appear to be short-carbine repeater versions of the full battle rifle seen in AOTC.

Seen it, but damn is that ever yummy. Lucasarts still puts out some doozies, even though their shit quotient is higher than it used to be.
I can't wait for KotOR on PC, or this one.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'
