THE TROOPER!

[Ragnarok]

Troopers aren't in it for glory. They are protecting the Republic. They are protecting freedom. And according to the newest trailer from Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Troopers' duty is to defend the people and the principles of the Republic no matter the sacrifice.

Today, Gamespot posted the latest class video from SWTOR, this one highlighting the Republic Trooper. Videogame voice-over legend Jennifer Hale lends her talent to this exciting trailer, which briefly outlines the Trooper's role in the overarching Star Wars story. The video showcases the incredible weapons and devices the Troopers use to defeat their enemies, even ones as powerful as the Force-wielding Sith Warriors.

If you weren't interested in playing a Trooper class in The Old Republic, you may be now. Take a look after the break for the full video and pop over the SWTOR website tomorrow for the official update from BioWare. For freedom; for the Republic!

That's the voice if you play Shephard as female in Mass Effect. Nice!

I wanted her heroic line to end with:

"for great justice"

I'm just going to guess that this will be part of Fridays update if they do an update. I hope they also have a separate trailer to deal with the ACs.

Yo, rocket to the face of a force jumping Sith....I love the troopers more and more lmao.

SWTOR.com is updated with a bunch of info on the trooper. Companion, races, advanced classes, etc.

Yes nothing says owned like an explosive round to the face right in the middle of your epic leap attack.

A trooper is cool, but the force is everything.

In my opinion the force is way to much like cheating. Also I would rather make some kid cry when I blow his face off mid force jump/leap.

To me it just makes killing force users that much sweeter when you use a smuggler or trooper. In TOR it probably wont be so much, but its always a tasty treat as a "normal" class player to take down a god.

RP-Wise, yes... but im pretty sure they gonna make all the classes balanced... Of course... jedi/sith can deflect blasters while they run towards them, but im pretty sure smugglers/troops/bh are going to have an easy time kiting them... So it wont be like fighting a god... its just another character.

They can deflect my blaster as much as they want.  While they're busy doing that, the rest of you can run up and beat the snot outta them.

yeah gameplay wise it wont matter. which is why I said it wouldnt matter much in TOR. but it will matter all the same to me, a vet of the D6RPG and SWG where they were pretty much gods.

Yeah especially when jedi were an alpha class.
