DEFINITELY siege mode. I get REALLY bored with DM style gameplay, and the CTF maps in JO weren't all that entertaining to me (they were too small, I found, and too many of them were about pushing your enemies off of cliffs). Duel mode is cool, but it sucks to have to sit around in line. For me, objective oriented, class-based team multiplayer is where it's at, no question. I love Team Fortress, Weapons Factory for Q2, TFC for Half Life, RTCW, BF1942, etc. It's about damn time we had a version of this for Star Wars.

Siege Mode. Easiest poll I've ever taken.

 

It's the mode that should have been in Jedi Outcast.

 

I'd wager that it will be inferior to other class-based objective multiplayer I've had the pleasure of playing (namely TFC back in the day, DoD, RTCW). But at least they are taking this series in the right direction with this addition.

Which user in this thread said or implied that they wanted an "exact replica of another game" for Siege mode?

I'm looking forward to Siege. It's funny, though, for months, I've been pushing people in my JK/JO clan to be more serious about training in different specialties - Light FP, Dark FP, Guns, Sabres, etc, so we can really back each other up in big games, but nobody listened. Personally, I thought stuff like the Team powers were being wasted...at least, in my clan. Now, all of a sudden, Raven announces a Class based MP mode, and the guys I play with are suddenly talking about the "great idea" to train up in different specialties BEFORE JA comes out, in RTCW, or whatever.

 

It's nice to be ignored when I'm ahead of my time.

Practicing with other team/class based games before JA comes out won't help much. Hell, even practicing in JO won't help as far as the team/class stuff goes. We just don't know how the classes are going to play out.

 

The only reason why practicing in another game might help would be that it gets you accustomed to the concept of class games like TFC, RTCW, etc. You learn the general guidelines for, say, how to be a medic or an engineer. But an engineer in TFC is radically different from an engineer in RTCW, who is also different from an engineer in BF1942. So, really, don't expect the specific skills you develop in other games to help much, outside of getting used to playing that general style of game.

Well, I would say you should check out TFC and RTCW, but I don't know how much of a following they still have. BF1942 is going strong though. It's not quite the same as siege mode, since all you're really doing is capturing and holding a position, but it's got the class thing. Really, RTCW is probably the best example of class-based objective multiplayer. If you can find good games of that, that would give you a good idea of what to expect (I hope) in JA's siege mode.

I voted for Siege mode as well. I like FFA, TFFA and CTF, but I'm always looking for something new, and I like the variety of game modes in games like UT2K3. So the more new MP modes in JA the better. Siege sounds like it's going to be a real blast, and I can't wait to play it.
