That's an awesome blaster rifle and class trooper. What lvl do you think this class trooper is?

They probably haven't even come up with a level scaling system. I can almost assure you that this is just some of the art game concepts they have put together for just an awesome screenshot. In other words, the armor could be level 1 while the gun could be level 20 but we don't even know how many levels there could be; and I also think this blaster is a sniper type as well.
It looks like from most the video footage that all player levels from starting out to end game will all look pretty awesome too.

Trooper looks like an awesome class, defo playing it.
I think there will be some neutral classes like Traders and such.
There should be a medic class.
And Out of Intrest is there going to be any sort or Roleplaying community on SWTOR? I used to RP on SWG but I don't know if this game will have any others xD

Why are people makin clans even before this game has been created?! I'm confused :) Someone please reply to me :) I wanna know >.<

It's because people get really excited about the game and I guess just because being in a group or clan they can plan out what they want to do in the game and overall just talk about it.
That's exactly what happened with Warhammer Online.

Torn between a trooper and the Sith at the moment :(. I love the sticky grenade animation/sound :D. I'm definetely not joining the swarms of people becoming Jedi... unless they are the only tanks.

Hopefully you can change your side by being evil and turning to the dark side.

*Cue Evil Laugh*

Agreed, I actually discussed staying Grey with a friend. (Neutral, so, neither allegiance.) And I'm HOPING, that if we stay as such, we can hunt jedi AND sith. Be a group of troopers/bounty hunters. I think it'd be pretty awesome.

i believe you can

this gun screams "Your jedi mind tricks wont work on me"

In the words of Bender i'd take one of those with a side of chilli fries

mhmhmh that gun looks real boxy, looks like itd do as much damage hitting someone than firing it, i wish i could duel wield that gun =D

I wonder if you can take your helmet off as a trooper. And do you guys think that troopers will be able to take cover like smugglers as well?

wow thats a big gun , some one must be compensation for something here

A landmine or a rocket to the face would work

Republic and your guns lol its going to take more then a pistol to stop us

That's right sith we are going to crush the evil in the galaxy

you are very right it is only going to take a pistol with a scope to stop you puny sith!

now who said we were workin for the republic?

hmmm...this sniper-rifle looking weapon or the chain gun looking weapon? oh the choices of great weaponry...

its the same gun that the sith use you dumbass, and you called it a wimpy gun

Well, I wouldn't want to be shot with that. Pretty cool!

To all those hoping for a Sith Trooper let me say this: If ya want really big machine guns, ya gotta play for the Republic. The Sith got Jetpacks and Flamethrowers, so nyah.

The trooper looks awsome, however i have already made up my mind and i wish to be a force wielder.

Gun looks pretty good however whats up with the cyber man design?

Looks like my Trooper gets to use a pretty awesome weapon. I bet it could burn down a straw house! :o

lol j/k ;)

i like the boxed gun model looks really cool, good work

this is gonna be sweet , good luck BioWare

could make a little damage with this gun!

Skim reading through some of these comments and I see that some seem quite suggestive. A bit of sexual innuendo going on with the whole blaster thing. Most probably just my mind... but I might aswell join in.

"DAMN RIGHT I GOTS ME AN EXTENSION FOR MY HEAVY RIFLE, BABY! I always come fully equipped."

Making up fake quotes on screenshots can really brighten up dull moments.

this looks amazing

Man!! i cant wait until it comes out is looks so freaking awesome!!

2010 and it still looks like Dark Forces

*drooling* XD

Same here I've got drool everywhere

is any one there if any one is there please please please please please please answer me

nobody wants to be your girlfriend

does anyone want to be partners

"We'll have somethin' for 'em!"

"Can do"

got my catch phrase for me trooper

need a name tho

any suggestions?

that's a really good screen shot.

the use of bright colour is fantastic and the lighting looks great

BRAWR i must play now cant wait!

Really nice close up with the trooper and his blaster.

That weapon looks modular. As if customizable by swapping out sections. maybe just hyperactive imagination but hey...

Regardless, this is exciting stuff! Love the armor and that they have announced a new class this soon. nice pacing.

I actually have to agree with that it is a fine piece of armament.

that blaster is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very nice.

The armor looks good and so does the blaster. It sort of looks like the rifle that clone troopers use. Nice work so far Bioware, keep up the updates and we might just have a beta in store for us very soon.

Dont bother with Malis. "This little one's not worth the effort" as Ben Kenobi once said. He just thinks he's better than everyone so just ignore him.

These new screenshots are an improvement, but, I have to say, I am not getting the "Star Wars Feel" that the Devs keep talking about so much.

Personally I prefer the DC17 from Republic Commando I mean it was an assault rifle, sniper rifle and an anti-armor it was the perfet blaster.
