I fell that meny thinks they have to play Jedi Academy for staying in the academy. I know there are still servers in Jedi Outcast, but they aint used. I have talkede with meny that plays JA for getting up in the ranks and getting to know other players from the academy even tho they prefere the game JO. I just want to know. Do most of you people prefere jedi academy or are you just playing it for getting with the academy?
Im just ceriuos because i have playede JA and i really dident likede it... the game was to.... new for me... it dident have the charme as jedi outcast.... so just want to know... what do you guys prefere?

In the last half year I've come across maybe two people who spam kicks while dueling.

Unless you're talking about FFAs, in which case, get with it! Two thirds of the damn thing is kicking!

lots of ppl spam the kick off the wall(player in this case) move tho. that thingy is really abused much so its as annoying as wiggles and stuff like that.

Isn't flip-kick something that was added through a mod?

If you want to play JK2, go sit on jk2home and advertise your presence in IRC for a while, or add me to MSN and tell me, and people will join you eventually. Because JK2 really is better than JKA.

jk2 sp surely pwnz jka sp :)
i think most of us will agree with that.
speaking of mp tho both games have their downsides. jka has poking,swaying,ghost hits and hell know what else. jk2 with 50 ping it feels like playing jka with 250 ping, kick off the wall works on ppl (doh that thing does considerable dmg!).

these are my points :)

Yes indeed. So many puzzling things in Outcast, I got stuck all the time... :D

Academy was a walk in the park compared.

JK:JA single player was really poor. You think you get to choose side, but it's really nothing, except if you go dark, you get a slightly easier fight in the end and another ending.


If it wasn't for the staff and the academy, I would play outcast.

JK2...by a mile. The game play seemed so much better to me (multi-player) and dueling was a blast. JKA just never seemed to be as fun...which is why I probably quit playing it. :D

both are real good, Outcast has some things Academy doesn't, and Academy has some thingss Outcast doesn't. but when it comes down to it, Academy's better, i think because of online. maybe if Outcast were online i'd play that more. "?"

Outcast is online ...
It has an MP you know :P

Same, I've downloaded and enjoyed many JK2 SP custom maps. Now I'm having trouble finding more! :D

Rax ?
you mean ragnos....
well ever tried the game dark side on jedi master ? with single saber ?

haha.... its just like duelling blindside. more luck than skill, if you ask me.
also, the JA:SP saber system is screwed. but *sigh* who cares as long as one can enjoy tons of JK2:SP custom maps ;)

JKII:JO SP was a sure challenge. I had much to figure out before I completed the game.

JK:JA SP was quite easy, everything was obvious to me. The only challenge was Rax, and even then I had a go. Heal owned him. I mean, they need people like Galak! :D

JK2 MP was good, but I must admit that I like the Jedi Academy multiplayer more. However, basejka is still screwed up, so they are both as messy! :P

I think Outcast have a better main character, a better story, more interesting bosses - while Academy have more varied maps, saber from the start (I hated the first 6 or so missions in Outcast), more interesting non-saber foes, better moves, 3 different sabers...

All in all, I think Outcast have better SP - while Academy have better MP.

But I'd love to see the Outcast SP ported to the Academy engine... I even tried doing that myself, but there were some big issues with it... :/

I like the multi in JA beta, more variety and although it kinda be kinda crazy a more solid saber system, and it makes more sense.
