See, Al, I actually tried to be polite and such. I didn't want to get into a pissing contest with you, and I still don't. But you know what? You can sit around a bitch and moan about how fanboys ruined the game. It doesnt' make it true. What ruined t...  [Read More]

Agreed. EXTENSIVE public playtesting is essential to a good game. BF1942 and RTCW both had public multiplayer demos released PRIOR to the final game's release and both made substantial improvements on the multiplayer aspects of the games. Granted, al...  [Read More]

Well, Al, interesting points, and a boatload of sarcasm, but let's look past the sarcasm to some of the substance of what you said. In response to your statement that we look at other posts, well, that's fine, but some of us might like to discuss it...  [Read More]

I know Luke uses a blaster and explosives, but he's also not a Jedi in Empire. Maybe the way to do it would be to let you mix your abilities, but not be as skilled with the various abilities. That wouldn't screw up balance, I don't think. As for fo...  [Read More]

Why would this be stupid? It's perfectly in keeping with established SW canon. Jedi don't use blasters, much less missile launchers, etc. They use lightsabres and the force, plain and simple. Granted, in the history of DF games (all two of 'em that...  [Read More]

Shock's right on a level, but I think that it's not simply because SW gamers are not diehard FPS players. I've been playing FPS's since Wolfenstein 3D, and cut my teeth on multiplay with Duke Nukem 3D. I've played every iteration of Quake in one form...  [Read More]

Yeah the push/pull issue is one that was always a problem in this game. Try to do a move that requires jumping, get pushed down and someone slashes you on the floor. With 1.03, you had people who'd pull or push to knock you over, then stab you with t...  [Read More]

Right. Dismembering moves can be used (IE: Vader "disarming" Luke, Dooku "disarming" Anakin), and will effectively take the player out of the game, or, perhaps, to make it more team oriented, put the player in a state of shock. If...  [Read More]

Objective based gameplay is where it's at. The mention of the light v. dark, rebels v. imperials, blow up the objective/grab the objective/hold territory, etc. style of play is really what I would've enjoyed. I loved RTCW. The only reason I stopped...  [Read More]

Agreed, if single player editing ever took off (which it won't -- people are too concerned with MP), the game could survive in a limited fashion, but the online JO experience is dying and has been dying a slow death for some time now. What I'd have...  [Read More]

I used to be an avid JK2 player and poster on these forums. On a whim, I decided to come back here to take a look at the forums and it seems like much of the same old stuff, albeit I've noticed people posting that they're leaving the game (folks who...  [Read More]

Actually, Solo's blaster did have a flash suppressor on it. Or rather, a real life flash suppresor. It didn't function as one in the films, but it was there. Depending on which version of the gun you're looking at, it was the suppressor from an M3 Gr...  [Read More]

Honestly, while I prefer precise sabre battles, I don't think this'll do it. I haven't tried it, but from what I saw, the default speed is roughly the same as the SP speed. So, the real problem seems to be the collision detection, which is mostly non...  [Read More]
