Good review, i agree on all points. The multiplayer aspect of the game is indeed hectic. People do run around in FFA games like chickens without heads just slashing and spinning in any direction possible.

 

And it becomes even more hectic if all weapons and forces are allowed. To that I say; I'll go play some CS or a not-so-chaotic MP variant. However when the Duel mode (sabers only) is being played this game's MP is probably at its best. After downloading some new background music for the whole (duel of the fates, rotj luke-vs-vader music, and some more) the Duels are actually exciting and thrilling. Taunting each other after binding a key to +taunt is certainly an addition to building up the excitement before running at your opponent full of hatred or despair. Though even the Duels can get quite lame when forces as Force Drain or Force Mindtrick are being used. You slash your opponent almost to death, he'd only need one more rock thrown at him, and he uses Force Drain at you which by he drains your health to a low level and it pumps his own hp up graciously. That's just no fun. And the mindtrick, what's that all about, since when can Jedi mindtrick EACHOTHER? I dunno just doesnt seem logic to me... So if I'll play JK2 MP, I'll play Duel mode with NF as the term was in JK1. And to be more precise, the old gaming zone gameroom names will be the same for me: 'BGJ, NF, NH, SO'. Rock on!

sure i like reading reviews written by people i 'know'

but if im the only one then don't bother the effort

I think that people would read it, but only if they got brave enough to read the other forums besides Mojo Discussion.

that multiplayer is not running around like chickens. Its alot of fun however there are like a million spammers out there that just do 1 move and ...... ok they can be called headless chickens if you want them to be called that.

Jedi Outcast was a disgrace to the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight franchise. Raven Software tried to gear the game so far towards newbies, that experts will be lose interest after a few days. I'll stick with Jediknight 1 thank you.
