Well on ET servers the admins can limit the number of heavy weapons users, so hopefully there will be a limit on Jedi. Personally I'd like to see it so that:
1. No team can have more than one Jedi,
2. The Jedi has very limited respawn--two or three spawns, or better yet no respawn at all after he dies,
3. Only some of the maps even have a Jedi available, and
4. Some maps have a Jedi on only one side, with the other side having some other advantage to balance it out.

Another possibility would be to make Jedi superpowerful but, once killed, not respawn until the end of the server cycle--not just the map, but the whole cycle of maps on the server. Or how about this: A team can vote on whether to have a Jedi at all, and they vote on which player plays the Jedi, and the Jedi is very powerful--but if the Jedi is killed, the team automatically loses the match. That would allow for Jedi in the game and make them satisfyingly powerful, as they should be, but would make them fairly rare (a team that did choose to have one would probably keep it a secret and spring him on the other team at endgame).

I suspect, however, that you'll see lots of kids setting up servers overloaded with Jedi. Geez, if you want to play all-Jedi, then play JK2 or JK3.

I'd really like to see really big, elaborate maps with complicated missions like in ET. In SWBF1 it was just capturing command posts, and even that simplistic objective was never really fought for--in practice the better team just went for maximum frags until the weaker team's reinforcement points were used up. And there was no "shuffle by XP" to balance the teams.

Enemy Territory and Call of Duty should be the models for a SW shooter. SWBF1 was just TFFA, and not a very good one at that. Multiplayer had more serious problems than I can begin to enumerate. And yes, the AI sucked, especially when it came out within about a year of Republic Commando, which had such great team AI (though multiplayer sucked there too).

I liked Battlefront I but if the II has jedi in multiplayer then forget it. I think its just a extra thats going to be forced in the game and it will loose the feeling of being an average soldier.

From an admin perspective SWBF1 was a horrible game. The Battlefront dedicated server is hands down the absolute worst in terms of featureset, configurability, in-game interaction, compatibility, scriptability, etc etc. The only redeeming feature was that you could run a PS2 server on your PC. I don't have high hopes for SWBF2, especially since theyre announcing it for an xmas release. This gives their developers next to no time to work on this. I'm expecting a big lump of crap on this one.

I thought Battlefront was not that bad a game although many people disagree. It could deffinately be improved though, hopefully that will happen in the sequel. I think the first was a bit.. empty.

I really like Battlefront I. It's really the only game where you can get somewhat close to playing through the original movies. It certainly has its flaws, though. The graphics are good, but kinda strange and fuzzy sometimes. The AI is pretty bad, and on most maps the flying vehicles aren't that useful. I don't really like how the guns work either...in a lot of shooter games, weapons are more realistic, it makes a difference where you shoot somebody, they aren't always perfectly accurate, and people can't take like 5 or 6 hits in the chest before they die.:eek: The balance on some maps is pretty bad.

Nonetheless it's lots of fun, and a sequel has massive potential for improvement!:D

I never tried the firsr battle front, because I thought I mise as well play a non star wars shooter game if I want a shooter game.
