wedge2211 Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I think it's definately accepted that the lightsaber is the weapon of choice in JKII, except in a sniping situation, or maybe placing a mine or two. Most everyone just runs around in massive saber free-for-alls. I'm thinking, though, that since the is a "LIGHTSABER ONLY" option, it would be fun to have a "NO LIGHTSABER" option as well, or a mod that adds that option. So those of us who like guns, too, can have a new variety of fun. (PS, nothing against the saber, I played the entire game with it after I got it, with the exceptions of shooting a couple rockets at some AT-PTs, sniping some faraway guys, and the AT-ST level.)

Jedi-Duck Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Yeah they should do that cos theres really no point in having any guns except the ones that can't be defended by lightsabers otherwize cos you never hit them anyway unless they're facing away from you. Or it could be that i've only had the game for 4 days an i suck but anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Ben Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 No lightsaber servers would be a cool option. It seems that recently there are basically only lightsaber only servers. If there were a no lightsaber option you could go in there and not have to worry about watching out for lightsaberists who tend to complain about guns. One thing, though is that this game is centered around the lightsaber so Raven probably wouldn't put it into a patch, and any mod would not be used by enouhg people to be affective.

razorace Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 You could just turn on Jedi Vs Merc and tell people not to use jedi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Actually, I find a saber user is very easy to kill with guns, and I'm not just talking about the Flechette or secondary Repeater either. I regularly get kills on people with the bowcastor and ST rifle for example, even the bryar (all you have to do is get one shot in, after all). Then there's the fun of mines, etc. Frankly, saber users are easy targets for gunners, unless the guy is really good not only with the saber, but also with the force, and is on his toes. Most of the time, if I'm in his shoes, I just switch to another gun and blast the guy. The saber isn't always the best choice in a FFA... all depends on the situation.

Luc Solar Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Haven't seen anyone "own" with a saber on a FFA server with guns allowed (& decent players). In a one-on-one fight the saberist stands a chance, but otherwise... Guns really hurt and I hate 'em Anyways, razorace gave you a solution to your problem.

thehomicidalegg Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 maybe its because guns kill people faster than sabres...1 on 1 and that may not be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle00 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 a no Lightsaber mode would be nice but i do quite enjoy going up against a few Jedi with my various weapons and watching them burn! Its even better when they come after you for shooting them when they have a sabre out (strange these people that join a gun server then complain when they get shot). As you can probably tell from the above I vastly prefer the guns in JK2 to the Sabre. This earns me a lot of abuse in online games to which i normally reply telling the "Jedi" that he should go to a sabre only server if he/she does not want to be shot at or learn how to use the force better to defend themselves. I rarely configure any Force points for use with the saber instead using them for my force skills like heal and speed. Its amazing how many sabre wielding Jedi can be killed in a a couple of minutes with a rocket launcher and force speed. But the whining is what makes it all worthwhile.
