Star Wars: The Old Republic -- BOOM! Goes the Bounty Hunter

Boba Fett, eat your heart out. Nothing compares to the tricks and tactics of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Bounty Hunter class. IGN was able to give us a sneak peek at the latest class video for BioWare's Star Wars MMO. The Bounty Hunter was the first class to be revealed for SWTOR about two years ago, but it still generates the excitement it always has.

As the video shows us, the Bounty Hunter is all about gadgets -- Holy kriff! Did he just flash-freeze someone in carbonite?! -- right, gadgets. From flamethrowers to jetpacks, these devices are what keeps the Bounty Hunter in business. From the moment we first heard Boba Fett say "As you wish" in the Empire Strikes back, we knew the definition of awesome in the Star Wars universe was "Bounty Hunter."

Catch the full video after the break, check out the IGN interview, then stay tuned to Massively tomorrow as -- most assuredly -- more information will be released on this powerful class.

This is the class I have been looking for with TOR.

Nice, flash freeze to the face! lawl.

nice ,nice.....
the one thing that cold put me off this game is the "omgomg why did i die???" kiddie crowd it will no doubt attract like flies to a corpse

Looks like they have improved the animations and lighting, nice.

What I'm wondering about is the actual gameplay combat, what we see here is cool, but this is a movie - and the bad guys die in 1 hit. How cool it will look when you are standing still and taking turns at blasting each other is what I'm wonder about.

Did he just use his jet pack to head but a guy 30 yards away? Yes he did!! Bounty hunter ftw!!

Now I am starting to believe in this game. EA/Bioware look like they are very serious about making this an outstanding experience.

This game and Guild Wars 2 will FINALLY bring to this market the choice I have been waiting for.

Thank Goodness!

Never left my radar, but this video reignited my interest. Hope it plays as well as it looks.

I've loving the sound design here. I know it's a little thing, but those little sounds (the rockets, flamethrower, etc) are great and it adds a lot for me.

There better be color-customizable armor here, at least, the main outer, protective bits !
