WD_ToRMeNt Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I'm not exactly sure why, but here is my guess. Remember the "hands" skin where all you could see of the hands? Well, from what I understand, When you go to first person mode with saber in SP that is the skin that you become. That would be a bad thing in MP since being 95% invisible would be considered by most to be a cheat (that's why the made the hands skin unusuable in 1.03). I'm sure it would be possible for Raven to fix it and make it work in MP, but think about it. They have a lot more on thier hands to worry about. This last patch has caused a wide division between SWs fans and true gamers. They've go more to worry about then 1st person in MP. Raven knows that most people wouldn't use it because it would put the user at a major disadvantage in MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuloch Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Yes, if you get used to it, you'll find 3rd person view is much more effective for sabers. -Stele007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyth'emos Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 yeah I used to play JK saber fights in first person, and I got a whole heck of a lot better when I finally switched to third person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Brave Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 in JK1 the first person sabre combat was WAY harder than JK2 and imo the 3rd person view helps it ALOT.. dont worry.. 3rd person is better.. take my word for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling us that we should like 3rd person because you do is mildly retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling us that we should like 3rd person because you do is mildly retarded. taking my friendly gesture as an offense is what id call mildly retarded.. well anyhow.. even if u did get to use first person sabres ud probly get dizzy trying to do moves like spinning slash or bicycle kick.. IMHO 3rd person is the way to go.. id hate to see how the view would look while dueling.. its pretty fast paced and all that turning and twisting will probly make someone dizzy in 1st..

Zek Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 The reason they took it out is because when you go to first-person view, it switches your model to the hands-only model(which is why it's there in the first place). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boreas Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 They can't make it use regular models why? Zek, stop trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Widow Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Well you know they did it with the guns so i don't see why they couldn't with the saber. Its just suppose to change the models for the player ..not others looking at you. If they released the tools for us to edit the models i'd gladly make first person arms for all the different characters, like they did with Kyles for first person. That is if its too much work for them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dak101 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I doubt Raven wants to go back and add extra code for a first person MP game, or they would have done so by now. I think thats the game's biggest flaw, and is really why I never got into the game as much as the original. Again, its my opinion... the game is really good, but the fact that I'm forced to play in 3rd person is a severe turn off (yes, i'm a big FPS fan). I think Raven did a fine job on the game, but making the decision that no one will mind the 3rd person only and assuming everyone will find it easier is pretty stupid on their part. Oh well, maybe the gamecube version will have a firstperson MP sabre mode. -IAMDAK- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
