MovieFan Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Does anybody know if there will be a Rocket jetpack in JKII, for mp mods like there was in mots "ManoWar"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Nothing is known about rocket packs at this time. I'm pretty sure that if it's not featured in the final game that someone will probably make a mod for it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Ugh. I really, really hate rocket packs. They just annoy me, and they are rarely ever done well. I enjoyed it in Tribes 2, but I just think that a Jedi flying around n rocket packs just feels wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would change things a bit, wouldn't it? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 All right, we'll suppose that. We wouldn't have to worry about it in single player, since you play as Kyle Katarn. But in multiplayer, one guy flying on a jetpack, and the others walking on the ground? I don't know, but it seems unbalanced to me. But if Raven found a way for it to work out, that would add a whole new perspective to the game. Could be interesting, although I doubt it will happen. A mod will surely be made, and we'll see how it works out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Aidan Hall Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Well, if JK2 did different player classes, it'd work out fine IMHO. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 I'm with Canoli, I don't really want jet packs in Jedi Outcast, at least not in the multiplayer modes announced so far. I wouldn't mind if it was a separate setting for 'Allow Jet Packs' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vagabond Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 I wouldn't mind jetpacks for, say bounty hunter classes, in MP, or even all non-jedi classes. But agreed, something so potentially controversial as a jetpack should be a MP option set by the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1587246523 Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 In MOTS and JK1, they had bouty hunter classes in multiplayer. One of the playable bounty hunters was a mandalorian. (Boba Fett armour) but the jetpack was not used. This was anoying, because on one of the cloud city levels, there was a big hole in the floor i couldnt get out of. It was very confusing how to get out. The jet pack would be OK if available then. And speaking of jumping and flying, does anyone know the part of ESB where Luke jumps out of the carbon freeze? He hangs on to a wire above it. That would be an excellent thing in JK2. To jump, grab something, swing forward over a gap, kick a stormtrooper, land, pull out lightsaber and continue....

ReAcToR Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 You can rest assured that if JKII isn't sporting a Personalities MODification, a group of editors will probably take on the task. I've been working on a few things, as far as the site design, over at JKMAG, and hopefully I'll be able to talk Azlon into making Manowar for JKII.

MovieFan Posted November 28, 2001 Author Share Posted November 28, 2001 Has anybody here seen the new trailers to Ep2 AOTC, if you have then you would have notice Jango Fett battling Obi-Wan he was flying around shooting down at Kenobi.So if the movie has that senario then why not in mp mod, plus Jedi's have their force powers and Mandalorian Commandos have their armory?

Kwup Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 just a lil reminder, anyone remember Shadows of the Empire for N64? The lvl 5 boss was Boba Fett, who flew around and even had Slave 1 up his sleeves (literally) anyways, to do this again would = rehash, and there is too much of that already in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 You are correct, I haven't played Tribes 1. Tribes 2 was decent, but I no longer play it. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the jetpack in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Boba Fett appeared in Dark Forces too. I'm not really sure I'd want to see Fett as anything but an MP skin...but there are issues around rocket packs. You can check this thread for another discussion on the topic.

Executor32 Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Boba Fett appeared in MotS as well, in the Cloud City secret level. I couldn't find Man O War, but a good place for other JK/MotS levels and mods is Massassi.net. I recommend IWP 2 (JK Mods section), and Birth of a Mercenary (MotS Single Player Levels section).

OnlyOneCanoli Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Not sure if this is what you guys are looking for or not. I remember playing this a looong time ago, but whatever. Manowar 2 for JK Manowar 3 for MotS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 i have to agree, jet packs would only fit in if there was a class system with the jet system being the bounty hunter or mercenary counter-part to force jump.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRAVE Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I would have thought a jet pack would definatly be included as it was in Elite Force. Many things like this will be available in JK2 multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things like this will be available in JK2 multiplayer So, because something's in Elite Force, it means it'll automatically be in JK2 as well? Wow, according to your logic we can look forward to phasers and disrupters. Yippy skippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
