Renzo Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Heretic 2 is the game i'm talking about. It came equipped with a blades-only option for multiplayer. It ended up spawning many user-made maps designed specially for one-on-one fighting. they were blades-only maps. sound familiar? well, these maps were laid out to have several separate rooms so people could, well, wait in line and fight when someone won. people had a real sense of honor there. players developed a simple communication system using slashes of the blade and everything. these maps are also some of the most outrageous and awe-inspiring maps i have ever seen, and i play all the big-name fps'. anyway, to bring a point to all this, i'm just saying that the above paragraphs will hopefully be applied to JO. Heretic 2 also had co-op, but we know that's not coming to JO, at least not from the Devs. hopefully we'll see some classic, not so classic, and altogether amazing developer and user made maps.

Lord_FinnSon Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Here is a little bit MP info from GameSpot preview: In addition to the typical CTF, team deathmatch, and deathmatch modes, the game will have some unique twists on existing multiplayer conventions, such as Jedi duel, wherein two players spar while a crowd looks; capture the ysalimari, a mode that cancels out the force powers of anyone carrying the slimy critter; and a mode called Jedi master, wherein a single lightsaber will give its owner the ability to use all available force powers but, in turn, will also mark that player as the target of all the other contestants on that map. I guess that answered to your prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renzo Posted January 29, 2002 Author Share Posted January 29, 2002 Ah thank you Finnson. Sounds good. I remember Heretic 2 so fondly because it was almost like a lounge, where you could log in, stand around and chat, and occasionally bust some heads. ok maybe it wasn't like a lounge, but still, it wasn't an all-out gore-fest like a deathmatch. just some friendly fighting, if there is such a term. I'd like to see that in JO. heck, i even played THF, or The Heretic Fortress. a TFC knock-off. there's another thing some people said they want out of JO. i hope this isn't off-topic.
