Well, I would say you should check out TFC and RTCW, but I don't know how much of a following they still have. BF1942 is going strong though. It's not quite the same as siege mode, since all you're really doing is capturing and holding a position, bu...  [Read More]

Practicing with other team/class based games before JA comes out won't help much. Hell, even practicing in JO won't help as far as the team/class stuff goes. We just don't know how the classes are going to play out. The only reason why practicing in...  [Read More]

DEFINITELY siege mode. I get REALLY bored with DM style gameplay, and the CTF maps in JO weren't all that entertaining to me (they were too small, I found, and too many of them were about pushing your enemies off of cliffs). Duel mode is cool, but it...  [Read More]

It's not just in JO that people do this. People whine about cheap shots, campers, lame tactics, etc. all the time. Sometimes the complaints are justified (I personally HATE basecamping in any game where you actually have bases) and sometimes they're...  [Read More]

I just want to reiterate, I have no problem with the RPers in general. If folks want to RP, more power to 'em. What I have a problem with is people who don't respect the rules of a server, plain and simple. If the server is an RP server, don't frag....  [Read More]

What would be really interesting is if they allowed the game to progress throughout the course of the Galactic Civil War (which they won't, most likely). As far as the jedi thing, I suspect that the force sensitive people will not be so few as to b...  [Read More]

Whoa now, back up people. I wasn't saying I hate RPGers. I have no problem with them and really enjoy a good RPG myself. In fact, at the moment, I'm actually playing through the old Gold Box games (those of you who are old-school RPGers will know wha...  [Read More]

So, now that Galaxies is out and doesn't seem to be getting super-fantastico reviews (GameSpot gave it a 7.5 and said that, for the time being, it was like a better looking, slightly more complicated EverQuest in space), how do you think this will af...  [Read More]

Which would be all the more reason for me to go on the offensive anyway, and just close with him to duke it out with sabres. If he keeps his distance, I'll turn off absorb and wait for him. Essentially, light side is a shield, dark side is a sword. M...  [Read More]

For the moment, I don't think this will be that big of a deal in MP combat. There are a number of variables that can come into play which will offset this being an uber-power, or just an upgrade to force-lightning. These factors include: - initial f...  [Read More]

I agree with you, Prime. The more of the SW universe we see, the more we have in terms of expectations for how that universe should work. And if you're going to base a game on the jedi experience nowadays, you need to take into account the jedi exper...  [Read More]

It depends on what you mean by "balance", really. If you mean "able to defeat a gun user every time" well, no, they aren't balanced, nor should they be. The sabre is just a tool. It's the wielder's special abilities that make it...  [Read More]

Spider Al originally brought this point up, but I think it warrants repetition, especially since it was one of the things that FINALLY convinced me that sabres are balanced in relation to the other weapons IN FFA. The thing to remember is that in al...  [Read More]

For guns, at least in FPS games, it's pretty standard fare these days for people to take 2-3 hits in the body before dying, depending on the gun, and 1 hit in the head. I think that works fine. If you're going to up the damage potential of the guns,...  [Read More]

Admittedly, Raven has a tough job for balancing things, but bear in mind that not all modes have to be balanced equally (and probably shouldn't). In FFA, sabres should NOT be balanced so as to be able to beat all guns all the time, or at least do ju...  [Read More]

Well, first time through, I'm thinking human male, two sabres, either both blue or green, or a mix of the two. Not sure about clothing, hair styles, etc. It'll depend on what's there. Oh, lightside, by the way. Second time through, dark side, and ei...  [Read More]
