Check it out. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> The final release for Galactic Conquest (Means they're not working on it anymore after this one [EDIT:] For clarification, there are going to be no more official content releases. I think they're still doing bugfixes, though.) has been out for a few days. I only just remembered to check the site today, so I'm downloading it now.
It features, among other things, the AT-AT! Finally! Go grab it.

You simply can't compare the two. Galactic Conquest has come so far since then. That seemed to have been more of a "proof of concept" release, really. To make themselves known and show that they have a lot of potential.

Don't worry, I wasn't considering it a putdown. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I was trying to emphasize that it is very, <b>very</b> different from the first release.
What about the first release was a disappointment, out of curiousity?
Been playing the new one for a few days. Utterly annoying players, laggy computer, and just general boredom (it's essentially BF1942 with pretty lights, for me at least, and a heavier reliance on vehicles and planes) made me give up. Plus i can't ride the speederbikes at all. Vroooooom, BOOOM for seemingly no reason.
Stupid things.
sandcrawler (also mobilspawn)
atat (4 leged walker also mobils spawn )
repair ship for big capital ships
some map changes and er thats about all the new cool stuff i geuss
OH GOD, those were great times. Pilots who were good, players who watched each other's backs....
Good times. Good times.
Maps are a lot more mixed, there's a good spread and many actively reward team play.
IE
Vanguard/most space maps - Actively require engineers AND gunners to keep ships alive. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing the virtual cheer as your Imperial cruiser splats a blockade runner.
Hoth - To stop an ATAT, you NEED a rear gunner in your snow speeder. The ATAT itself is almost immortal if crewed by competent engineers. Also, the Falcon is now restricted to Rebel only, so no spawncamping Hoth base in order to steal the Falcon.
Death Star - Y Wing rules supreme with a full crew. Other ships get mangled.
TBH I'm very very happy with the build. In fact I'm upgrading my PC expressly for the purpose of making it more stable when I play on the big servers. The mod is awesome.
But you can't be a real stormtrooper unless you can miss someone standing 4 metres in front of you!
Battlefront stinks in comparison to GC. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yeah, you can say that while I unroll my droideka and unload blast after blast into clone troopers furiously diving for cover only to be blown away by an AT-TE as it rounds the spire on Geonosis after fighting off two Geonosian fighters with the help of Republic gunships manned by 4 clone troopers. Or you can say that as I speed through the forests of the forest moon of Endor on my speeder bike, blasting away at Ewoks and rebels with the help of my AT-ST friend until he carelessly walks between two logs and gets his head smashed in. Or you can say that when my buddy and I fly between the crossfire of 2 AT-ATs and 2 AT-STs and wrap a tow cable around the Empire's sinister machine of destruction and wind around over and over until finally it topples in a gigantic explosion.
And there's no recoil on the blasters. And you can shoot Gungans.
in gc you work as a team you pilot the large ships man the turrets have giant space wars in well err space with fighters wizzing about giant ships blastiing heck outta each other or fight on Tatooine and have boba the fetts cradft flying over you as well as many other wonder full craf and the giant sandcrawler slowly comming towards you or fight in the city , or howsa about fighting in hthe sky in bespin or ginat fght in hoth with atats and the melenium falcon flying in the sky and lets not forget the death star flying about like in the movei trying to get that shot with laser turrets firing at you
and lastly all of this with you team mates right behind you there is a lot moe content in gc a lot mroe levels and a lot more fun wher as battlefront was rushed unliek movei and all round crap ai was dumb as battlefields online team mode were when i last played borring no one talked every one made a grab for fighters etc and ran off sorry no contests

Okay, you can do that while I hunt rebel scum on Hoth with AT-STs and AT-ATs, pilot a gunship with up to five other people (Up to three can shoot, plus I get missiles), blast away at an enemy tank with a tank on Dantooine, fight over vast oceans in the water world of Mon Calamari.
I can also fly in to the Death Star trench while being covered with X-Wings and Y-Wings and blow it up, fly the Slave I over Jabba's Palace, steal Jabba's barge and make the rebels weep for mercy, engage capital ships in huge space battles while simultaneously sabotaging their research technology, battle my way through a Star Destroyer with nothing but a blaster pistol and my teammates by my side, grabbing enemy weapons from gun racks as I blast my way to victory, bring swift death to the Imperials in the Millenium Falcon and repair capital ships in the middle of a huge space battle in a YT freighter fitted for repair.
Or I can throw down a camoflage tent and covertly snipe the enemy, transport troops in to and out of battle in a Lambda shuttle, covertly capture key points or heal/repair other players/vehicles by controlling a droid, zip through the Dune Sea on a speeder bike, or fight in Bespin at dusk.
All of this on large, detailed, beautiful maps with other players at my side, working together to accomplish goals. And I haven't even mentioned everything that you can do.
And Gungans being in the game is hardly to your advantage. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Hit a tiny bump and blow up in a hellish firestorm from which there is no escape.
I hate those bloody things.
There's no reason to fight, folks. They're both equally good games.
Everyone knows its all about getting in a PBR and sailing up river with Fortunate Son beibng broadcast over the radio while Hueys fly over you.
While being gunned by the NVA. Now THAT's a game. None of this pansy laser crap. I want guns dammit!

I'm not too bad at driving the speeder bikes. They take a bit of practice, a bit of skill and a lot of terrain knowledge to use well. Try practicing on the bonusrace map they included, it has some jumps and neat stuff.
