Actually, in JK it only took 3 shots to kill a Stormtrooper with a bryar pistol. I think the difference here is that in JK2 at least, the hit points for regular enemies actually increases with difficulty levels. In JK1 only a few enemies did that, l...  [Read More]

The question then remains... why bother using the non-saber weapons in JA SP at all? In JK2 SP you had an excuse to use the crappy guns, because for the first few levels you were without any sort of Force (and you don't even get the saber until what...  [Read More]

Yes txa1265, I think you and I are on the same wavelength with this. I couldn't quite put my finger on it at first, but after I turned off the DynamicCrosshair I realized that the guns in SP with AI just "suck" in general. My opinion has t...  [Read More]

The thing was, in JK2, the "kick" people are talking about is really just a "wall jump" (side or forward "wall flip") done on the "body" of an enemy. You flip off them, you hear a "smacking" sound as...  [Read More]

Well the "jumpy" bots was due to lack of information on the bot pathing on the part of fan map makers... All of the Raven created maps had bots that were fully functional in the levels they were designed for. With the engines being so si...  [Read More]

MP definately (although a few bot matches to get the hang of it before I "really" go online). I'll skim the manual while installing of course, and maybe load up the opening cutscene, but SP will get sadly neglected until I've had a chance...  [Read More]

If I get the urge to play some CTY, Holocron or Jedi Master, you can bet I will. Otherwise, playing parts of single player for nostalgia purposes, or loading up some user made mods would be good reasons to draw out JK2. From the sounds of it, Jedi...  [Read More]

Well IMHO, if we want JA to be a competative game, it's up to US, the community, to make it so. So all you mod makers and all you competative gamers, go for it. Buy this game when it comes out, play and promote the hell out of it, and we'll see what...  [Read More]

Perhaps it works differently on different levels. Perhaps on Level 1, you *have* to get very close to use it and you do a "hug" animation. Perhaps on Level 3, it has more range, and so you get the more traditional looking drain. This woul...  [Read More]

Don't get me wrong, KOTOR looks great, but I'd much rather play it on PC, so I'm content to wait until November to try it and get higher resolutions and unlimited save game space. As to music, I listen to it in SP, but in MP, I turn it off complete...  [Read More]

There are no two ways about it, lightning is a very agressive power and I don't see any excuseable reason why a Jedi Knight/Master should use it. You guys make a good point about powers being neutral and the intentions and feelings of the user dete...  [Read More]

Ha, I thought I was the only one who noticed this. Actually, I've seen it in JK2 as well (very rare, but occasionally it happens, and yes, it looks pretty goofy). Probably won't be fixed, it's just one of those things that reminds you you're still p...  [Read More]

According to the latest info (in SP at least) you will have 9 hilts to choose from. Blade color wise, you can't pick red in SP (there's some speculation that you can if you go to the Dark Side, but that's pure speculation at this point), but you can...  [Read More]
