SGR: The Future Of.........

i played for the first time in a long while today and the spark of love i have for SGR was re ignited.

which got me thinking..... has anyone heard any news as to what we should expect in the near future in the world of SGR???

What I Have Heard
1) ZATTTSSS!!!!!!!!
2) Flamethrowers........ (can someone say bad idea lol)

What I Hope
1) More new skins/ Weapons
2) New Maps
3) SP support (probably never going to happen, but i can dream right???)
4)ASGARD AND WRAITH!!!! lol this one is either not going to happen or is so far into the future i might as well not have posted.

any thoughts, comments, confessions, and or leaks????

no I say give it a year to 18 months for an atlantis expansion

asgard are supposed to be dead at this point but in an atlantis expansion they could throw in the lost tribe asgard

I am pretty sure the Goauld are supposed to be dead, didn't SG1 finally wipe them all out .... so I think some Asgard may have survived after all ou might have had a few renegades like Loki flee the planet before they blew themselves up? What about the Replicators, they exist in the Ida Galaxy do they not?

no, the goa'uld are not supposed to be dead. they are out of power... like a coup d'etat, just a new regime in place.

Asgard, yes it is feasible that some fled the planet. But no one has told us that have they? So as far as we know they are toast. The best course of action for SGR to integrate them would be the lost tribe asgard.

Replicators, no they all came to our galaxy and were completely annihilated. and then the Atlantis ones were too. They are gone. However they could say that some mad scientist recreated them. Just like they did in ark of truth.

i am also not looking forward to flamethrowers. it's not stargate, and i think it will take away from the coolness of the game, especially if people use it as their primary weapon.

things i am looking forward to are cannon maps, zats, more races, jaffa serpent armor, larger team sizes, single player mode and support for usb controllers.

but i am willing to wait and i am willing to pay. end transmission.

Agreed. Much like with the prolific use of the grenade launcher as a primary weapon (which, considering SG lore, the grenade launcher would only be used for dispatching close groups of several Jaffa or a shielded Goa'uld - more of a support weapon than the first thing they reach for in combat situation) I can invisage flamethrowers becoming ever more present in light of the area of effect granted to them in comparison to that of a P90.

I am not contesting that it will be a nice addition, but more how it will affect the Goa'uld players. Although, I do have faith in the Devs that they'll make it work somehow, regardless of my present hesitations.

I believe the flamethrower is a throw back to Stargate Worlds where the SGU or OP-Core Soldier could use a flamethrower.

In your What I hope list I can clean that up

1) More new skins/ Weapons = I will say definite because DCG have said weapons and armour DLCs are coming.
2) New Maps = I will say definite because the new wallpapers show of a new map.
3) SP support (probably never going to happen, but i can dream right???)= unlikely.
4)ASGARD AND WRAITH!!!! lol this one is either not going to happen or is so far into the future i might as well not have posted. = There has being hints at a Pegasus expansion pack so Wraith likely, Asgard not so likely since they are all dead.

I don't want to be antagonistic, but where in Stargate lore (tv series/ producers comments/etc) has it been said that the Replicators, all of them, "were completely annihilated"?

Now for the semantics

History:
-we know the Asgard back in their day acitivated a command built in the android Reese, which said "come forth".
- We know using that command the Asgard were able to trap the Replicators from supposedly "every galaxy" (according to Gateworld Omnipedia), and trap them in a time dilation bubble on the planet Halla.

This brings up the issue of continuity, although Stargate Atlantis wasn't conceived by that episode, there still hasn't been any explanation why the Asurans/Pegasus replicators did not "come forth"! Therefore indicating that the subspace communications the replicators seem able to transmit and recive information over may be limited by distance or rather clusters of Replicators. If this theory is to be believed, then it would explain why the Asurans never received the message (or maybe they did and just ignored, "sorry we can't come, far to busy, good luck "

I'm sure someone much more SGcentric could refute that theory by factoring in distances of nearby galaxies infested with replicators close to the Ida Galaxy and relative distance from Ida to Pegasus (now I'm confusing myself)


Fastforward >>
- Blackhole, Replicators escape, Fifth killed, Replicator Carter builds her forces, invades Milky Way, lots of killing and shenanigans, weapon at Dakara wipes out all Replicators in the Milky Way.

And we know what happens in Pegasus...
War with the Wraith, Asurans kick some butt, then Asurans are defeated after command is issued for some intensive cohesion, or something of the likes...

And... we know Dr Weir is still chillin' somewhere in deep space, left behind

Anyway, as for continuity the fact the Asurans exist beyond the command "come forth" activated by the Asgard suggests to me there still are Replicators out there. Not just the ones made by your average mad scientist like in Ark of Truth, or those witnessed in Pegasus.

Think what you will but keep in mind the Replicators primary function is to replicate at all costs, sort of like self-preservation. While they may be wiped out in the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxy's, I think other galaxies beyond the Ida Galaxy would/could have some replicators.

It'd be interesting to see them in-game, and in Stargate Universe (I don't think that would be too cliched for Stargate) Just show what a plague they've become.

And on plague did SGA or SG1 ever indicate what the plague was that wiped out the Ancients in the Milky Way, was it biological or was it technological. They do have a tendency of playing with life (Replicators/Wraith/humankind)
Just saying

There are 2 types of replicators:

1)The one Reese made (aka the normal replicator) to keep herself from being lonely after the replicators she created or she killed everyone. I believe Reese was likely made by an Alterian who came back from Atlantis and wanted to continue the replicator research (maybe in secret like Janus did with the time machine)

2)The Asurans are the first replicators designed and created by the Alterians during the war with the Wraith, they were designed to be nanites which attack the Wraith and the Wraith wouldn't be able to stop them, but the Asurans evolved into human form replicators (it is still not known why the evolved so quickly, but they did take the form of their masters, it could also have being the netronium rich planet on which the Asurans likely were developed on/we saw them. In the end the Alterians so no use for the Asuran and did what and race would do and destroy them and cover it up.

In short both replicators are different. It is likely they both operate on different subspace frequency's so the command "come forth" was only heard by the replicators Reese herself created.

I like your theory, "come forth" makes a whole lot more sense when it's just directed at the "bug" replicators.

Yeah thats kinda what i figured. lol

I was mainly wondering if anyone had heard of anything semi specific like what map is next or what class to expect the next gear for ect.

And as for the Asgard/replicator debate that has been going on up there, this game isn't necessarily restricted to cannon. So....... they in my opinion, could implement any race or faction that has been in Stargate.

I think Single Player is highly unlikely anytime soon, although there is no reason they couldn't do it. They are focusing on multiplayer content because that is what everyone wants. SP would be nice, even if it was as shallow as the UT3 single player (series of MP maps with bots, an overworld screen showing completed missions and missions to select from, and a thin storyline to tie it all together). BUT it should take a serious back-seat to further development of maps, costumes, weapons, and other content.

In the list of things proposed/asked for, SP should be very near the bottom, priority-wise.

As Aaron said, it has been said that there are more weapons and skins coming.

For Single Player, check the Suggestions Thread:

A Wraith Faction will hopefully come with any Atlantis Expansion in the years to come.

As for Asgard, there are two easy ways I can see to add them if the desire is there: Pegasus Lost Tribe Asgard are the easiest with an Atlantis Expanision. The other is more theoretical: the Asgard are not dead, their consciousnesses are stored in the Asgard Core on the Odyssey - if their Cloning problem can be solved they can be extracted.

As for Replicators, more can be made from the Asgard Core as seen in the Ark Of Truth . The other options I see are more tenuous: one is that there were Replicators stranded somewhere outside the Galaxy (as some appeared to have been stuck in between Galaxies in SG-1 5x01 Enemies) and so were spared, the other involves some use of Time Dilation technology. The third is the awesome might of Because The Devs Said So, which cannot be countered

Additionally we know that Humans have all asguard tech and we also know that they can make replicators using the beaming energy technology such as in the Stargate:Ark of Truth movie.

Didn't NID try to bring the Replicators into Pegasus? Got something like that in mind, some "oh noes you are about to destroy this galaxy with replicators just to defeat the (wraith??), how could you?", "The deactivation code is at the back of the chrystal". Ok whereever this happend, NID = humans are able to create them. So one of all those Scientists could provide a bug in the teleporting system and the wrong think will be teleported instead of a turret: a fresh swarm of milky way replicators!!!!

looks like this all got wrapped up lol...

Some of those would be nice new skins and possible new characters would be awesome. I my self i'm hoping for Atlantis expedition solider uniform and to include Atlantis in the game would be so awesome.Can you imagine ATLANTIS!! Be so awesome oh and maybe even a wraith hive ship to.

I'd like to see a character customization.That would be a really cool feature if it's possible. No matter what class you'd look the same just uniform change.

Replicators still exist, how you ask read up on the Asgard

Here is a hint (Ida)!

Oh and btw, there could be renegade Asgard who did not obey the Council's wish to mass suicide, anyone remember a little grey being named Loki?

See SG-1 6x12 Unnatural Selection and SG-1 8x01 and 8x02 New Order Parts 1 and 2. Ain't no Replicators left in Ida. Any surviving Replicators are either trapped or stranded so they couldn't participate in these events or be affected by SG-1 8x17 Reckoning Part 2.

I love the Replicators and very much hope there will be a Replicator Faction in the future (I was the one who added it to the Suggestion Thread) but the only way I see for them to come back is through the Asgard Core n the Odyssey or a small faction that was stranded in between Galaxies as seemed to have occured to some in SG-1 5x01 Enemies.

How are they not alive in Ida? The Asgard fled that Galaxy? Therefore handing it to the Replicators, and as far as I am aware thae Ancient device didn't dial othe Galaxies?

Edit* Quote ... Thor explains. In studying the android Reese ("Menace"), they discovered a way to signal all Replicators in the universe to come to them.

A signal which can broadcast through out the Universe .... isn't that a little farfetched .... I stand by my earlier statement, they exist in the Ida Galaxy. Who ever wrote that line, ..... well you know lol

Add the wraith please ; )

Even if they failed to summon all of them to the initial trap they all came to the Milky Way from Ida with Fifth and Repli-Carter (and remember the first time we made direct contact with the Asgard in SG-1 2x06 Thor's Chariot Thor spoke to Sam in Real Time from the Ida Galaxy so they should have been able to disseminate the signal to all Replicators without any real problem using the physics established in the show). We also know the Asgard made Replicator Disruptor Satellites that could effect an entire planet in one shot so if there were any straggler Replicators in Ida they would have been systematically wiped out before the pre-planned suicide was carried out.

The only ones I can see them potentially missing are in the voids between Galaxies.

The Asgard fled their home planet not the Galaxy.

Are you sure they didn't abandon Ida, as I seem to remember Thor saying they had, and that the Asgard Fleet was awaiting confirmation in the Void between Galaxies, that it was safe to approach there new home world in the Milky Way (the one they blew up ...)

P.S. No signal could carry across the entire Universe, do you realise how vast it is and it is still expanding!!!!! The only signal to carry a great distance is white noise produced by Galaxies, and even that wouldn't travel all the way to the other side of the Universe before breaking up ... and lets say they did manage to send a signal through out the Universe, how would the Replicators get there ... I am a Ship right on the other side of the Universe hmmmm say a few quadrillion years away probably more? I think its a bit of a plot hole really, and I do believe the Replicators survived, they could be anywhere a Stargate is.

I also find it hard to believe every single Asgard would just commit suicide, we are all individuals, there will have been a few which broke away from them before they Suicided. After all I think most people would want to live as long as they could, dying race or not....
