I tend to think that just about all of the models will be enhanced in some way, but returning characters will likely be pretty similar - especially since it happens pretty much right after JO. I would like to see a larger number of models used. Stor...  [Read More]

There are lots of decal options that would enhance the environmental realism: - hurt enemies limp or can't shoot well - dead bodies - wounds on others - wounds on your character (this is 3rd person after all) - blast marks on walls - saber cuts on wa...  [Read More]

Sorry - but you want expansion? Look at the 3 hour gameplay of MoHSpearhead, or the upcoming MoH:Breakthrough which clocks ~5 hrs. Expansions offer a smaller extension of the original - a subset NOT a superset! JA is going to be longer than JO, and...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Prime I don't think you need to be as complicated as all that to get effective lightsaber damage. Also, a system like that would have a big problem with lag. Suppose you take a swing, and due to lag the distance gets messed up....  [Read More]
