So how many people are going to be leaving JA for Battlefront? I know I want to get the game, but I have a hard time NOT having a saber.

In my perfect world, I could mix the gaming environment of JK2, JA, Duke Nukem, Quake 2, and Hitman. LOL! :D

I've set up a public 50 player server at public2.insomnia365.com (69.41.232.165). Join up and have fun! I'm planning on getting this game tonight!

edit: server's down now. Go play somewhere else! :P

Those blur effects are nice to watch but...kinda unnecessary...dont like em...anyone knows how to shut them down? (besides going into options and clicking on "Motion Blur" lol)


They're actually quite necessary, unless you like a choppy game. The game has a built-in cap of 20 FPS, but the motion blur tricks your eyes so you can't see it's only 20 FPS.

Hrm, its going to be this game or SWG+JTL, SWG isn't really worth the monthly fee anymore, was alot more fun when I was a newbie. No Twitch, No Roleplay, Monthly Fee = Nonhappy Zertz. BF seems to be my kind of game, I'll see if I can check it out first because my wallet is running a little low on Galactic Credits.

Yes as an NPC.

Theres the E-11 and the DL-44 as far as I can tell, amongst other guns.

And if you get hit by a grenade blast or whatnot you fall over.

Darth Vader is in the game? As an NPC, right?

Does it have weapons that do not remotely resemble anything in any of the movies, e.g. the Imperial Repeater?

Can you fall prone like in Enemy Territory or Call of Duty?

Oh yeah, and for those of you who can't get this server IP to connect, it's cause DJ didn't set it up as a "direct connect" server. So look for the name "TheJediAcademy." As far as I know that's the server.

the scariest thing is walkin to the hanger in Hoth..turning the corner to see Darth Vader right in front of you...ive never run from someone almost pissing my pants in a video game before...

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

True, but you can fight along side Luke, Mace Windu, Vader, and I think one or two others simply by turning the "heros" option on :D

The store only got seven copies?

Did it take a market-research genius to figure out that Star Wars games are popular?

my roomate got the xbox version. it's pretty damn sweet to watch on 39" widescreen tv! :D but i don't think it's anything close to being worthy of yanking somone away from the JA :) at least for any extended period of time.
