jedialphaknight Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 I was wondering, will there be a cd key required to play JK2? or for multiplayer at least?
JackTheGaffer Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Ahhh.... a little early to be cracking a CD ehh?
Guest Obi Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 <font color=cbcbff> I'm sure there'll be a CD-key. There's nothing us pirates......I mean <i>those</i> pirates can't crack if they really want to. I wanna be a PIRATE!
Guest Sarcastic Saint Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Well these days all games ship with a cd-key dont they?? i mean i've cracked so many of them lately...eh...you didnt hear that *slips everybody a 100$ bill*
bliv Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 They may follow Medal of Honor and put the installation over 2 discs as well as having a CD Key.
Ulic Quel Droma Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 O_o dont you think JO is WORTH buying?! *shakes his head in shame*
simon says Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Hey, this $100 looks phony! *takes it to the lab* JO will definetly be on 2 cds, like JK was, but i don't know about a key. Lucas Arts games usually don't have em. GB didn't have one.
jedialphaknight Posted March 3, 2002 Author Posted March 3, 2002 oh, yeah I have all intents in buying it I just wanted to know cuz I have a lan and all and want other peeps to play online wit me.
L3onheart Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 I DID ask that in the gamesdomain chat with the developers. I asked it TWICE! Did THEY answer it? NO! They simply avoided it. The question got posted twice and they ignored it twice!
digl Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 yep I was there It was probably because they dont want to give info the crackers to start working already, as someone said
nu||ifier Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Multiplayer will probably require a genuine cd key checked on the master server like quake 3 and Elite Force which will not allow 2 people with the same key to play at the same time- although Medal Of Honour doesnt have cd checking and is playable online with the same cd key by different users.
jedialphaknight Posted March 3, 2002 Author Posted March 3, 2002 yeah wuts up with that? no cd key requirements for for MoH: AA there erally isn't a point to having a cd key then.....hrmmm also I haven't seen other lucasarts games requiring cd keys.............
Syko Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Yeah, but this is Raven/id, and their games (EF, Q3A, and Q3:TA) have CD keys, much like Half-Life. -Syko
Eternity Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Yeah, Half-Life's CD-Keys stopped those pirates dead. Half-Life was a good game. (No unique territory there..) And I never played one minute of multi-player, so I was saved being tainted.
TimTheEnchanter Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Originally posted by simon says JO will definetly be on 2 cds, like JK was. What information do you have that it is on 2 cd's? I have yet to see anything official on this Based on the system requirements from the official site for installing the game you only need 665MB of hard drive space compared too 800mb for a game like Return to Castle Wolfenstein which fit on one disc. I could see maybe 2 cds to play all the great star wars music but RTCW had a decent length soundtrack and again all fit on one cd. The only reason I could see for 2 cds would be out of tradition but I would be happier with just one.
Ki-Adi-Mundi Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 If having two CD's required for instillation and a CD Key means a better, or safer, or something like that JO community, then I'm all for it. If people don't have to buy the game to play it, then that is a sales loss for LEC (like it really matters for them) and Raven. LEC can afford any type of loss they suffer, so I'm not worried about ripping anything from them. But Raven is a different story. These guys working there aren't all millionaires ya know. They don't ride around wearin' gold chains and rings all over the place in their Dodge Vipers. So if they get HUGE sales, then LEC might team up with Raven again and make more games with them for us to play. But if they don't make too many sales (think on a nation and worldwide sale level) then they might not make any more games.
jedialphaknight Posted March 4, 2002 Author Posted March 4, 2002 Hey TimTheEnchanter, I checked out your desktop...you had a Jedi Outcast icon on there..............................wuts that...
TimTheEnchanter Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Originally posted by jedialphaknight Hey TimTheEnchanter, I checked out your desktop...you had a Jedi Outcast icon on there..............................wuts that... What is the purpose to this post?, I guess it was meant as humor but I didnt quite get it. What was your point?
jedialphaknight Posted March 4, 2002 Author Posted March 4, 2002 No Tim I am being serious, wut is that icon for...you don't happen to have the game do you?
hahadude Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 I'm kinda hoping that it is like 5 cds. But that is just my love of rendered cut scenes I guess. If it has as many movies as the first JK, than it will definetely have to be more than 1 cd.
Guest Krayt Tion Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Spread it out over five discs, stick it with the standard q3 cd key system, it doesn't much matter to me. I'm buying it either way and none of those things will be terribly inconvenient to me.
Bio Warrior Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Originally posted by hahadude I'm kinda hoping that it is like 5 cds. But that is just my love of rendered cut scenes I guess. If it has as many movies as the first JK, than it will definetely have to be more than 1 cd. even if there were more cut scenes than in JK1 there wouldnt be any need for it to go on more than 1 cd and they already said its gonna be on 1 cd
Desslock Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 It is the Q3:TA engine after all. Why take out the CDKey stuff? JKII will definately run on 2 discs... theres not a good reason why it wouldn't. If Im right, it'll be as long and contain as much, if not more content, than CnC Renegade did, and they put it on 2 CDs. Crackers wont need to be doing a lot of work. Its just like cracking a Q3:TA CDkey, unless Raven upgraded the encryption level of the Keys.
TimTheEnchanter Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Originally posted by jedialphaknight No Tim I am being serious, wut is that icon for...you don't happen to have the game do you? Ya got me, I have an entire beta, the multiplayer bot ai need some tweaking though. My piece of crap system runs the game great though probably cause there are no large outdoor enviroments. Fans of the previous will love this version and the voice acting is good. I wish I could only describe to you the role vehicles play in the game but youll just have to wait.
