Trooper introduced to 'Star Wars: The Old Republic'

Until now, the website for Bioware's upcoming MMO, "Star Wars: The Old Republic," only had one class update: the Bounty Hunter. However, with new updates come new introductions for new classes, and now we are all introduced to the very cool Republic Trooper. No, this isn't your regular run of the mill soldier. When you check out the mini videos showing off some of their abilities like sticky grenades, weapon butting and high powered rifles grenades, how can't you be sold?

So why would you pick this class over the more popular Jedi or Bounty Hunter classes? According to the description of the class on the official website, "These advanced strike teams are comprised of only the most talented and disciplined soldiers — a new breed of elite Republic Troopers. These Troopers are the embodiment of the Republic military’s highest aspirations — the most advanced fighting force in the galaxy. They are equipped to face any foe in any environment, but it’s not their gear that makes them tough — it's their guts.The fate of the galaxy rests upon ordinary men becoming extraordinary heroes. This is the path of the Republic Trooper."

Head on over to the "Star Wars: The Old Republic" website to check out concept art and clips showing off some of their arsenal.
