Damn, I feel so lame. You guys have finished and moved on and I'm stuck in "the belly of the beast" area. 
edit: I made it out 10 minutes after this post. Thanks for the inspiration folks.

Granted that I haven't had as much time to sit down and play this as I've wanted....but this game is actually longer than I expected. While I like Brothers In Arms better in the long run I find SW:RC has gotten more time from me this past week because I've been able to sit down, play for 15 minutes or so and save where I want to. Brothers In Arms is more of a game for a day when I have nothing to do and I can sit down to focus on it for a longer period of time.

Yeah, I finally played multiplayer yesterday and I thought it was ok. Only played one round, but it was ok. Graphics still seem to suffer a bit, but maybe because it's not running in 480P.....damn you Lucas Arts

I beat the game last night. I don't know what I'll trade my game in to buy. Open to suggestions. Thinking about the new Prince of Persia game, but not really feelin' it.

And the fact that you have to put WAY too many rounds in a Super Battle Droid. I dunno, maybe I got spoiled from being able to drop them in a couple shots in Battlefront.
One EC grenade in a crowd of them let's you walk up and melee them pretty easy.
My kids play online more than me, but we are XBox Gamertag: JKMC Jedi

as for the sbd the easy way to take them down is tell your sqaud to fire on them and then do the run in a circle and kill like in Halo 2. they are too slow to get a shot off and you can just melee the crap outta of them.

Yeah, there's an upper clear armor that I guess would be their face and once you nail that piece there's a red optical area underneath which makes a good target. Also, the static charge grenades and a well placed melee while their being shocked will nail then after you take some of the health with sniper rounds.
Also, beware of Super droids that fall as if destroyed but then they start shooting from the ground. Most of the time the squad will take care of them but they can still get a good shot in.

Well, I finished the game last night....what a total let down of an ending. I think it was worse than Halo 2. I was getting ready to keep going and then the credits roll. wtf?
I think I will trade this game in, as the LIVE is just average and the 480p does not work.

I traded mine in for MechWarrior2 and am about to trade that one in (not feeling it). I'll probably go with one of your suggestions, so thanks a lot.
By the way, I had the same reaction to the ending as you did.

Yeah, I guess Rainbow Six got pushed back until JUNE.....Mercenaries is fun though if you are a GTA fan. Fight Night 2 is average now....only if you are a BIG boxing fan I'd recommend it. MechAssault 2 sucked ass too.

I've always wanted to try SuperMoneky Ball and there's a release next week. I'm looking for a bright, fun, sonic the hedgehog type game like Marioparty is for gamecube. I also have been playing some of xmen:legends, which is pretty good, but the camera angle is annoying and it's a lot of the same thing. I've never played any of the GTA and am not a big fan of Doom type games either. Anyway, that's that......(not really sure where I was going with that, but)....

My son rented this game the other night, and every time we play it, the game will freeze during one of the time it is advance to another point or save your mission during the game.
We have to restart the game to start playing again.
Anyone else have this problem?

I just rented this, and it is pretty fun. I like that you can set your troops to snipe positions, this would be nice to have in Rainbow 6 or Ghost Recon - being able to place one team member in a specific spot for a specific function.
It is better in the squad area than I had heard. I still have trouble hitting anything, and my guys keep walking in front of my line of fire. I hate SBD and Elites, it takes too many hits to kill them.
