Should sequencer charges be a part of Jedi Outcast?

You know, if you're going to run blindly full speed, then I say you should pay the price.

Good people who know their stuff don't and thats why mines can be difficult to place in such a manner that they escape the usually alert eyes of experts.

 

Mines makes good strategic weapons, and help do checks and balances against people who insist on running around without watching where they're going.

 

I agree.

Mines in JK certainly were fun, and I can seem them working just as well in JK2, but I would rather have a new gun or something.

If they do put them in, I think ridding the thing of the 1 sec timer would be nice and just giving it a prox setting and some other setting. That way, you wont have those bombadiers with speed on all the time and they're still useable for what they're intended: Traps.

[DeathBoLT]

the only application beyond traps in NF guns that i can think of is in water, where you carpet mine with primary fire while making passes around the gunner in the water with you.. they're hard to evade in that method..

 

their best application in FF guns isn't traps due force speed but rather as a last ditch weapon or a weapon against those who love to pull because they can only pull 1 at a time, allowing you to merely pull out another. if you can out-manevuer your opponent, you can score a kill by dropping them at their feet, ducking in, dropping a mine, ducking out, ducking in, dropping a mine, ducking out, and so on..

[DeathBoLT]

without centripetal force factor, in a non-force speed setting, the only way i can think mines can be balanced is to significantly reduce splash damage; so that the explosion occurs over a small area, allowing people to escape if they're merely passing over an area...

 

reducing the damage done, and maintaining same radius of area effected is simply counterable by putting more mines down.

I personally think they shouldnt be included.

[DeathBoLT]

they're a great strategical weapon.. they just need a little balancing to be JKII-worthy

[StarScrap]

I personally think it would be a shame if they left out the mines. Unless, of course, they added a different, sufficiently unique, weapon. While they aren't my favorite weapon, they are certainly more than just a more powerful stormtrooper rifle, which is what most of the weapons seem like. (In DF and JK at least.)

I enjoyed the mines in JK and MotS. Added atrategy to what was basically a run and gun deathmatch style gameplay. I hope they make an appearance in JKII.

Well...they seem to have alot of forum support lol

[StormHammer]

Yeah, I think the sequencer charges should be in there...with the same versatility as the explosives in Half-Life. They should definitely be in the SP game...though I'm not so sure about MP.
