That's not all! The front of Hoth was Vader's personal 501st legion, which was ALL clone. That's even referenced (though hardly exclusive to, it's in promotional material for episode 3, not just stuff that's no longer canon) in Battlefront II.
The story mode for Battlefront II was pretty nice. It was minimalistic, not overly bombastic or distracting and had some interesting things to talk about (how does the 501st react to attacking the Jedi Temple or having a lot of their buddies blown up on board the Death Star?), and the ending was rather poignant.
Clones of blacks, asians, latinos.

This is possible, probably the best way to take one down too, I'm guessing the map at the beginning as nobody has any idea what to do is imbalanced for Imperials, but as more people know what to do it'll be imba the other way around and people will have to actively protect the things:
Anyway, I played the Beta for a while and while the Battlefield 3 one made me want to Pre-Order that shit like yesterday (despite being somewhat dumbed down), this didn't do it at all for me.
- Vehicles and aircraft are kinda floaty and shit (some like the AT-AT come with 60 second timers, others die pretty fast)
- Powerups instead of hangar or airfield is stupid, it all feels very arcade like you're playing a pinball game instead of a giant battle
- Small 20v20 maps instead of epic 64v64 battles on large maps
- The objectives seem stupid, gotta run and activate the same shit all the time
- There's barely any destructability in comparison to the recent Battlefields
- No class system that would require different classes like Engineers, Assault, Medics, Recon etc. and would give the game more depth. From what I've seen most people run around with the same weapon loadout
- Unlockable weapons so far are boring/meh, no heavy weapons class or sniper class, just powerups/pickups like fire-once rocket launchers or cooldown snipers
- You can randomly die a lot faster and often do so on spawn or without even seeing any enemy - often from just 1-2 shots because there doesn't seem to be a base/no-go zone, and everything is always open as fuck
- I didn't generally see much in the way of tactics or squad play possible like in Battlefield.
They should've made another Jedi Knight or an actual Battlefield "Reskin" instead of this thing, or at least another Republic Commando.

The Jedi gameplay looks so bad.

He's right. If you think stuff like Borderlands is bad... oh man... go watch some Cow-a-doody online matches.

None of the above, he's from NZ
I'd edit maori, but i'm lazy.
20 years after attack of the clones, one guesses they had more clone facilities and new DNA donors...

Nah, Vader's Fist were all pure-blood Django Fett, he would have accepted no less.
Other legions did get new (inferior11!) genestock, but nothing but the best for Vader IIRC.

I guess it's easier to build up an "elite badass" image in books after the fact. Also it was probably decided to go for the funny angle and have them get beaten up by Ewoks I imagine.
There are plenty of in-universe explanations for their shitty performance though, eg. being told to let the Rebels get away from the Death Star easy...

I really used to like shooters, you know, Soldier of Fortune, Quake 3, Jedi Knight, the first 2 Battlefronts even, Counter Strike...
Now when I think of playing them again, I don't even know what to play that doesn't look like total shit for children.

Jedi Outcast and its sequel Jedi Academy still are the best that lightsaber combat has ever been done, disregarding all that motion crap stuff and the trite that is The Force Unleashed.

That would be Movie Battles 2, the best of the best.

That's around the price for nearly every AAA game now season-pass-wise. Including stuff like Witcher 3.Season pass is $50

Witcher 3 "season pass" is 25 bucks and non-expansion content was free anyway.

I've got a bad feeling about this...
