Originally posted by toms I agree that stealth SHOULD be an option, but they already said they are taking it out completely (cos they messed it up totally in JO) so i didn't bother mentioning that. :( It seems that too many games have levels that...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Sargasso I'm assuming JO was a commercial success even if it didn't deserve to be, which unfortunately has encouraged LEC and Raven to pound out a new game out of what originally was supposed to be an expansion pack. If they lap...  [Read More]

[OK, I'm Mara now in MotS] I'd also like to see a time-based mission in JA, but just one. I think the DOOM_Shields should have been time-based after you whacked Fyyar. Personally I'd like it to be more like 'The Falling Ship' level from JK, wher...  [Read More]

I have just finished replaying JK (that's right, JK1 ...) and am in the middle of MotS, and have some thoughts. This is the first time I actually played JK on 'Dark Side', it is also the first time I've played through since JKII. I've played bits an...  [Read More]

Very well said, and thanks for the naps ;) The interesting thing is that many people are calling for more parity between SP and MP, without thinking about the overall implications. So, to extend what you implied ... remember that SP is a 'game mode'...  [Read More]
