What would make the game more realistic to play?
Realistic as in 'like the movies' ??

Any possible improvements that everyone could contribute to? Maybe a USB-Light saber, so we can stand up and duel? :P

Lets talk...

Anyone know if this "original Star Wars novel" Java mentioned is sold anywhere?

perhaps amazon.com or something

and if you don't want to buy it via Amazon you could always find the ISBN number for the book, and order it (if possible) at your local book-store

nah, its just because it's an old thread, and some of them seem to be created in the year 1969, but it isn't correct of course :)

7. Nix Force Heal.

This is the only thing Java said that I don't agree with. Maybe it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the original movies, but the idea of deep meditation (a "healing trance";) speeding up the body's natural rate of healing drastically, as well as stopping bleeding etc nearly instantly, is firmly entrenched in EU lore by now.

this may sound wierd but i think if they made a thing were you could walk on it and you would walk in same direction in the game and you had alight saber and when you moved the light saber around you would on the game at the same time:D:D:alliance:

I agree with u CMAD,
it suppose to be more realistic with the laser
shots. Someone should get injured.

I like JK2 itself, but
there is space for some improvements, like the
picture. There is need for real SPACE pictures.
I agree with u. It would be cool to have Han Solo in JK2. However, I play JK all the time.

see the idea of the usb saber would be awesome but in order to get the rel feeling of being a jedi u would need usb gloves so when u want to push u just push ur hand forward, pull inward, grip choke etc.... lightning would be weird tho

Well techinically

Remove everything that was removed in MB 2 and maybe more

Rage, Drain
Protect, Heal

And absorb either needs to stay, or you just need to be able to block Dark force powers, actually maybe all jedi should be immune to all force powers, but you need a small stipulation.

1.) No Jedi would ever fall for mind-trick, jedi can block grip/lghtning if they are looking at the jedi attacking them with it.

The blocking in MB 2, is a start but it far from perfect, I think as long as your holding block people can come up from behind and youll even block that.

Parry is in the game fine, that is just moving out of the way, its BLOCKING that is super, weak. It might almost be better if you hold a key, or something like caps lock is on/off, and all of you attacks are stopped 50% of the way through them, cause a block instead of a full attack.

1. A single shot from any blaster would kill most people in most instances. There were places in the movie where someone was injured but not killed by blaster fire, but these were rare exceptions. In the original novel Star Wars, Lucas himself wrote that even stormtrooper armor, though it would deflect a glancing shot, was no defense against a direct hit.

2. Lots more parrying with sabres.

3. Every hit from a sabre would cause dismemberment at the very least.



Well as for JKA, check out the MBII mod :) (too bad its site is down atm, when it goes up again, check out http://www.moviebattles.com)

Force Heal is where you heal damage using the Force. :D

There's no reference to it nor suggestion of it in the movies, and it kind of defies things that did happen in the movies.

2. Lots more parrying with sabres.

3. Every hit from a sabre would cause dismemberment at the very least.

4. This one's one of my peeves about most computer games: When you do get hurt, you shouldn't be able to continue fighting exactly as if you were uninjured. You should move much more slowly and be abled to do a lot less. Yes, there are real-life human beings who took out machine gun nests after having a leg blown off, but they did it by making a slow, agonizing crawl to the nest and then, with enormous effort, chucking a grenade into it--not by charging up over the top as if they had never been hurt at all. I shouldn't have to guess that my opponent is close to having only one point of health left; it should be obvious from the fact that he's laying on the floor almost immobile.

5. A lightsabre should be able to cut through anything on the map. There are obvious technical reasons why this can't be in the game, but it would certainly make it more "realistic" in a like-the-movies sense.

6. There should be a Telekenesis Force power.

7. Nix Force Heal.

8. Fatigue! Currently, you can run forever and fight forever without ever slowing down. Jedi are highly trained and conditioned warriors, so certainly they have physical stamina far beyond normal people, but they can't possibly have unlimited endurance. After enough running they should start to slow down and need to rest. Using Force Speed, of course, should temporarily negate the effects of fatigue.

and as SQL counts from the year 1969, thats the result :)
