This week's Star Wars: The Old Republic Friday update is quite a huge one and can best be described as a four parter. The first two have us drooling over a new trailer named "Signs of War" and Operations Game Systems page.
In the Signs of War trailer, the Trooper that most prominently received a facelift from Malgus in the Hope trailer is seen for the first time in-game. The trailer, narrated by Satele Shan, features several locals from the game that players can expect to visit when they get their hands on the game. The new Operations Game Systems page contains information on all of the current Operations along with images and video. On a side note but almost just as important, originally first revealed during the main panel at New York Comic Con, the global launch date is now December 20. BioWare also reminds fans to attend Paris Games Week, which they will be in attendance of in full force.
Our dissection is now available in the media gallery below. As with all of our dissections, things mentioned in prior dissections will not be mentioned unless otherwise needed for context. Feel free to mention stuff that you see in the comments section of this post and we will credit you with the find.

The new Game Systems page offers more details about Operations and offers a look at one of the Operations that you and your allies will be able to explore.
Head over to the new Games Systems page to read up on the content that players have to look forward to with Operations in The Old Republic, and be sure to check out the developer walkthrough for the Eternity Vault to get just a small sample of the challenges that await you.

Posted 10/15/2011 12:40:59 PMOne thing though. Global launch lol. I wonder how many people outside the announced launch regions got upset over that.

Posted 10/15/2011 2:48:20 PMIt is essentially the same if a red zone store ordered a bunch of copies of the game to their store. The difference maybe the date of arrival by not being in the green zone.
It's probably going to be another burn for the red zoners, but despite the unfortunate circumstances the ability to log in from everywhere makes it better than restricting them completely.
Hopefully more access is made much more available soon with origin, and offering more CE again as well. The more the merrier.

Posted 10/15/2011 12:43:03 AMIn fact, the use of gameplay for such an amazing video gives me even more faith in the game itself. December is looking better and better.
