Business_Eskimo Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Originally posted by Andy867 Well, the idea of Jedi's having a heavy repeater doesn't exactly strike most with all that of a positive response. Plus, the exclusive photos were from those who tested the game, and that the editor felt would get the best response. Also, the implementation of guns may still be in the production phase, while lightsabers, which is what the game is geared heavily towards, was probably given a higher priority. Thanks, I was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 We've never seen a canon example of a Jedi trying to hold his breath in vacuum... though there's some stuff in the EU that I don't really remember. Still, a Jedi in a Zero-G combat suit? Cool. Jedi Fighter pilots we've seen. They're cool. It's just the whole notion of Jedi in their desert robes, charging into battle with nothing but a lightsaber, that I find somewhat silly (even in AOTC)... in this era of turbolasers, missiles and other explosives, etc. Sure a Jedi can block a few blaster shots from some guards, but they're really out of their element just as is. "We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers." So Jedi SOLDIERS would be armed and armored far more intelligently. It would be kind of neat to see some Stormtroopers fighting alongside one another in Episode III, then we see them take off their helmets and find out they're Obi-Wan and Anakin! ; ) I would think that they'd at least wear some body armor, or helmets. I mean how many Jedi died in the Genosis arena? Quite a few... deaths that could have been prevented had they worn proper battle gear. I know they were assembled in a hurry, but gee wiz... these aren't Federation Redshirts we're talking about here! Anyway, in the GAMES, the possibility to outfit Jedi intelligently in battle exists. So far Kyle and Mara seem to be the only ones with any sense in that regard. For balancing purposes, some of the RPG's may make the Jedi weak like this, but I wouldn't bet they would be for JKA.

Andy867 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 But Jedi Soldiers would not exist, just Jedi Knights, which already did the job. The Jedi are there to protect people, not to fight wars. So plus, Obi-wan was saying that lightsabers are A Jedi's Weapon, for the more civilized age, not as clumsy or random as a blaster. with a lightsaber if you swing at a person's arm, there is a good chance that is where the blade will go until an opposing force like another lightsaber stops it, where as with blasters, if you aim for the head, you'd be lucky to hit their chest.

Andy867 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 According to Obi-wan they are. Remember in ANH. I made a paraphrased quote from Kenobi. And yes, Stormtrooper blasters are random and clumsy. Why else did someone have to make a mod to improve the accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinny Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 a blaster rifle maybe, but something like a blaster pistol is deadly precise in the hands of someone like Kyle, Han, or Mara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaming_wolf Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Why blaster? just NUKE em Im going to take the guess that they don't have nuke's and if u think a nuke is the answer to everything u need some help. Who cares about guns thats just cheep. O look at me i can shoot u and u cant stop me. How unscivised is that its almost as bad as missiles. Ummmmm long rage missiles i dont even have to see who im killing, i mean how pathetic is that and what a lack of skill. A jedi is a skillful fighter that is capabil of tackeling any situation with the assistance of threre saber or the force. I mean name me 1 handheld gun from starwars that could go through a blast door like Qui's saber in Ep1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I don't know whether this has been commented on yet... but I reckon in JK:JA MP, you should be able to roll, wallwalk, etc in 3rd person when you have a gun selected. I mean, with all the force, the saber doesn't give a jedi the ability to wallwalk or roll. Its better on SP, where with guns you can roll and all... Thats just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using any weapon in third person view should still allow you to do all the special moves. But actually, I don't think I've every tried this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solbe M'ko Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I never tried it either, but I did notice that you can roll around on the first missions while holding a gun, I don't know if you can shoot and roll at once, though. That wouldn't be very accurate anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be very accurate anyway. If you have rolling and such enabled with guns in MP, you can shoot while rolling and it's unrealistically accurate - it shoots dead on target through the whole roll.

SITHDUKE Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Sorry to go off the subject adn all but will the game come with any Admin features? Like a few good mods haev added some but are there gonna be any already in the game besides kick and kickban? I know that some people think that all you really need is kick and kicban because if you can get the disruptive elements from the server then there goes the problem. But i'd disagree as if a player is kicked he goes to another server...but if they were to realsie that the server can stop them from lameing then they realsie every server has this means then the'll soon realise the futility of lameing... P.S. Whats this points system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Whoa, this one brings back memories! I still say that Jedi need to be outfitted like real (Star Wars) soldiers in the next movie and future games. I'm glad to see that in the "Clone Wars" cartoon they had Jedi wearing modified clonetrooper armor, that's a great start. There really wasn't any reason why they couldn't have tossed in a few chest plates or helmets to the Jedi at Geonosis, after all, Yoda brought in the troopers from Kamino with all their gear. Are they saying they had NO spares? There aren't even that many Jedi for crying out loud! And blasters aren't really "random" (after all we've seen some expert marksmanship demonstrated with them in the movies), Obi-Wan was just belittling everything that wasn't Jedi-related to get Luke on his side. ; ) Hopefully GL will come to his senses in the next flick!

Dunedain Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Jedi Knights use lightsabers the vast majority of the time because they are expertly trained with them and can take out, or defend against, many different threats with them. Jedi don't weigh themselves down needlessly, they stay light on their feet and highly agile. But certainly if a Jedi was in a situation where he didn't have his lightsaber with him or for some unusual reason a lightsaber just wouldn't work for what he needed to do and there was some other weapon lying there, then he would use what he had available to deal with the problem. Jedi are very resourceful and will make do with what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm666 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 You resurrected a 2 year dead thread for THAT? Jedi's are not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Jedi's are not real. Well if you're going to nitpick, I'm going to have to point out that the plural of Jedi is Jedi. Saying Jedis is like saying 'Look at the sheeps in that field'. And even if Jedis was the correct usage, the apostrophe would be unneccesary. Anyhow, nice thread! Carry on B.
