Wilhuf Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Preview says the lightsaber can deflect thermal detonators .... interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 wilhulf, how would that work? what does it mean by 'deflect' wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Yea, wouldnt they detonate on impact?? Or be sliced in half and detonate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I dunno. I would think that a saber would destroy an incoming detonator, rather than whack it back at the pitcher, like a baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 That could be a sort of multiplayer mode. j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digl Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Thanks Im gonna read it right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_silvergun Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Yes, that does sound a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 well, it wouldnt detonate if it was sliced through, i think they have some sort of detonater device in them, you know, complete the circut, so, if you cut it, no circut!! viola!

Sifl Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I think he meant that you can force push it, like in the GameSpot preview, it says you can force-push missiles back at your enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreTZeL Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 hmm....yes...id like to see how it could be deflected as well like wilhuf said, it cant be like a baseball only because the lightsaber is energy and can cut through almost anything, where as a thermal detonator is matter, and not super enduring at that... im eager to see how it turns out!

nykel007 Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I haven't read it yet, this deflection of thermal dentonators sounds so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancor Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Did it actually say that you can deflect them with a light saber?....or did it just say that you can deflect them ( without specifying how )? Maybe I'll have to re-read that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreTZeL Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 it does not specify... but think man, what else can you "deflect" with in JK....a bryar pistol? a conc? a bowcaster? a stun baton?(maybe) it almost HAS to be a saber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 u can deflect blaster shots with your byrar if u take advantage of the lobby error in CTF Nar(jump off in waiting area into pit fall so that you are swinging saber when u fade away - you'll be able to deflect blaster shots with your byrar until the next time u die!)

PreTZeL Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 ok....well obviously someone had too much time on his hands to notice that glitch... but thats obviously along a different line than what we are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I think it would be cool being able to push it away, but i cant see it being possible to cut a "detonator" in half....because it will detonate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreTZeL Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 hmm...thats a good idea for its own thread maybe "if you slice a detonator, will it explode or not?" i dont think it will explode, because of the circuitry or whatever that someone mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancor Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Yeah, I guess I just assumed they were talking about force push/pull or something. I mean, I figured slicing a thermal detonator in half would be a very bad idea. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndrix Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 One level we saw seemed to indicate superior noise reaction too. Kyle was hidden around a corner, and made some slight noise. The Stormtroopers commented on it, almost like the guards of Thief. When the noise didn't persist, they relaxed. OK, everyone talking about the thermal detonator enigma, but when I read the review I couldnt help but find this interesting. This stands, to me, as being something that will greatly increase the SP aspect of the game. Having been in some more recent games I relise, but it will add a great element to the SW gameplay. An AI element that sadly was weak in JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 a thermal detonator wouldnt explode because its not a conventions explosive... just the same way a nuke wont explode if it is dropped, or sliced through with a saber... the detonater has to complete a circut, or do something-or-another wich isnt done by cutting it...

ed_silvergun Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Yeah, Syndrix, that exact kind of interaction was what made Elite Force so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 The thing that made Elite Force good for me was they way you had to think, but you didnt have to think. On the dreadnought you could either fight the enemy, or think strategically and destroy the things they beams in with. In some cases if you used your mind instead of your gun all the time you could complete the levels in half the time. I really hope this kind of intelligence is build into JK2.
