For those of you who dont know what Jedi vs Merci is:
When playing in a JedivsMerc JK2 game, the player has to choose how he's planning walk through the level, by being a Jedi or Merc. The Jedi can choose between the Light and Dark side, although a Jedi can only pick up Shields, it has to trust on his force powers to keep in good health. Mercs are the gunners, they no Force powers at all. Gunners trust on weapons and they can pick up all the non-force related items in a level (Bacta/Health/Shield/Ammo/Weapons).

I hope it's clear now for the ones who didnt know

Till then,
D

argh, I cannot stand it

Jedi is spelled Jedi, in every form.

1 Jedi
2 Jedi
3 Jedi
The Jedi (multiple) are going to...etc etc etc.

For the rest, nice idea

We ran a few tests and tweaked the game as we went along, for the straif jumpers out there you should find this quite a good challenge if you're playing as a Merc as even rolling Jedi cant keep up with you.

This has the potential to be good (really good) however we need the numbers. Once enough people are in the server we'll start playing arround and having one team Merc and the Other Jedi for a game then switching.

Personally I wanted just the deflectable weapons however it made things too hard for the Mercs as their shots just got bounced back and it wasn't much fun for them.

You may have noticed that we've disabled pull, the reason for this is simple. Because the mercs have no pull points when a Jedi pulled the merc went to the deck. This could get very boring for the mercs is its abused. Yes granted you have lost the ability to nick weapons off the mercs but its swings and roundabouts as mercs can easily be pushed over edges.
