So what are everyones thoughts, do you think academy is as popular as outcast is/was.

I just reinstalled JK2 the other day, before I updated to 1.04, I wanted to see if "anyone" was still playing 1.02 guess what A LOT of people are. seriously. There were at least 70 servers of various game typed, and I dont think I see every server.

Plus there were TONS of 1.04 servers when I updated.

You would ?? Best of luck to you then :) I'd rather have sabers which do lower amount of damage than they should than having sometimes no damage casued at all :)

Well, I really like JK3 better. I'd rather play with random damages than damages that are the same every single hit.

A sacrifice which shows your dedication to the Force, and to a new life, based on selflessness. This may be someone close to you, that you come to realize you must let go of in order to follow your path. It may be a certain addiction, or passion for something that would inhibit your abilities. It is not necesarilly your choice as to what you give up, and it is also a mile stone at which will decide your destiny. Choose wisely, and may the Force be with you."

I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

you say at JK2's peak it was more popular than JKA, but i think JKA is still not at its peak, lets not forget, JK2 wasnt that popular until the 4th mod came out...:D

Don't hate me, but I personally like JKA much much more. Its graphics are drastically improved and when I fight it doesn't feel as awkward.

I'm starting to like JK:JA better aswell, but it can never compare to JKII imo, saber duelling and movement is just weird in JK:JA.

No way, JKII pwn JA anyday. At its peak outcast had way more numbers than JA along with comparing numbers from release days (although outcast was more hyped as it had been 4 years since last Jedi Knight game :P)

You can actually USE the lightsaber in a situation other than duel effectively along with the force (as jacen will tell you :D). From a gameplay balance point of view and also an RPG perspective, a trained jedi with lightsaber and the force can be a match for any gunner, and in most cases beat them, which is as it should be.

No one argue with me that FFA sabers in JK:JA is better than outcast cos thats just downright stupid. You can be a killing machine with saber and force in JKII, not a namby pampy with a glowstick in JK:JA, theres no way to stop people running away.

Jacen likes JK:JA for the guns, yes its very fun but you gotta look at it from all perspectives, powerups, weapons, force, gametypes etc.

I do like the infinite ammo on pistol in JA :D but theres no kick so no grip kick, strafe jumping seems a little spongey, saber collision is off, no way to stop people running off with force. Only insta kill move without guns is throw pull but you need more umph than that sometimes.....
