1. Better singleplayer. Definitly!
2. Seemingly simpler multiplayer, if that's what you are going for. Better maps IMO. JK3 Maps are way bigger, but I loved the small JKII maps, which created a better feeling IMO, multiplier wasn't simpler tho!
3. A lot of the fruitcakers left for JK3, so there are less of them around. Still a lot, though. True to a certain extent.
4. Excellent duelling once you get used to it, IMO. TRUE! JKII duelling > JKJA duelling
5. Movement = Bad. Hell no, it's the crappy beta looking movement in JKJA thats bad.
6. Weapons = OK, not really worse than JK3 IMO. Weapons are the same in JKJA except for looks.

I find it easier to stick to one game, so I play Jedi Academy, but Jedi Outcast is fun to play occasionally.


JKII > JKJA, and nothing will ever change that!


AGREED!

Well, when I used to play a lot, I found many non-idiots. Of course there were a lot still, but I met a lot that were indeed nice and mature people. :)

I'm not sure about now, though. :o


no its not. There are lots of servers with really nice and skilled players. its a problem to find duel servers with balanced damage cvars. too many servers tried (or try) to adopt to jk3 which sucks.
I have a tough time getting used to basejk / jamod again.....
but its fun :):D

yeah, me being one of them :D

I actually fought two guys (FFA-server, good fights :)), who seemed quite the taunters. I tried getting some conversation in place, but they never responded.
I also noticed that their pings were always zero.

It took me about an hour to figure out that they were indeed bots, and not real people ...

=> me is idiot :P

Now let's look on some cons, after all these pros!

- HORRIBLE, and I do mean ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, OUT OF THIS WORLD POOR movement code. If you have more than 50 ping (this is MP, of course), hit speed, and try to strafe jump, the walls will stick to you like rats to Burger King's kitchens.

- Hitbox is huge, you can't miss with a repeater/golan when you have less than 120 ping.

- Community is full of idiots.

yeah i know, i just read my post and it doesnt make sense... oh well :D
i mean gunning skills not always helps.
you must improvise , use your environment, funny looking tricks , force power combinations etc.
jk2 is much more than just shoot em up or hack and slash game.

The Saber System has some big differences to the one in Jedi Academy.
