dual and staff are good noob weapons. Just about anyone can pick one up and get kills with it in multiplay. Especially with a lucky shoty. In the hands of a skilled person, any style works....  [Read More]

I see no reason they can't start you at a higher force level....I think their problem is they can't think of anything for the higher levels besides more badguys to slash. I know I won't be buying an expansion until its been released, I was very very...  [Read More]

They can't program good AI so instead they give tons of hitpoints to the bosses. It's been that way since the dawn of computer games.....well, computer games that had hitpoints....  [Read More]

Im actually considering hitting everyone that puts thier saber down just because they dislike it. Maybe it'll teach these guys some quicker reflexes. At any rate, it'll get me banned from all the crap servers and then ill be able to enjoy the game w...  [Read More]

Really depends on what you like. Most of the single play missions are just charging through a linear level hacking everyone as you go. There are a couple of exceptions but certainly nothing like the level in jedi outcast where you had to sneak aroun...  [Read More]

I like single as its most challenging. If i pick up dual its a joke...I win a ton without even trying. Regarding single the number one thing I hate is that single stance and even medium, to a degree, get knocked away. They should be as good at block...  [Read More]

Im not sure why your offended Kaia, it sounds as though your already watching your server and trying to adjust to it. Im refering to those admins who stick up a server of 16+ and they are never seen. The other day the people in the server I was pla...  [Read More]

If your going to host a server please check what the max capacity is. Ive joined 10 servers in the last 3 days and had to leave due to lag. I join and its a nice 3 on 3 or 5 on 5. We all play and have a great game. Couple more people join and thinks...  [Read More]

Im extreamly disappointed with both sp and mp. Multiplay I won't go into, you all know exactly why I think its crap (if not read one of the other 300 threads). As for single play. The plot line is predictable and boring. You move from some unknown...  [Read More]

Sorry to go off topic but...I don't think darth vader was the chosen one was he? It could be debated that Luke is. The chosen one is suppose to bring balance to the force. So did vader do that by killing all the jedi? Or is luke doing it as he tri...  [Read More]

So do you think they screwed up with the balance to the point where no ones going to use single saber? If you base things off the movies then 90% of jedi should be using a single saber. Im sure 90% of people will be using something other then the si...  [Read More]

Well it would be good if they remove it and instead hard code it on :) I believe Raven knows how much more people loved the look of single play jedi outcast then multiplay. While it would probably be impossible to get it like that (without killing p...  [Read More]
