is JA dying?

***Da-Ko*** · July 15th, 2004

It seems like less and less people are posting here. It seems like the number of good players is going down. Is JA getting old and dying?

Well to answer your question... YES! It's only normal, u know... If JA was something VERY different from JO it would've lived a bit longer, but it's getting old. MODs might bring back some sparks, but they're just not enough. Now don't get me wrong... JA is a GREAT game (with only a few glitches

) and I really love it. But everything gets old. We just need another Jedi Knight game

Ain't no dying for the modding community

I guess. AOTCTC mod and FOrce Mod 3 are coming out soon though, so it might rise back up

You have to realize that they didn't really do an outstanding job with the first person shooter aspect of JO/JA to begin with. If you can't take the lightsabers away & have yourself a game worth playing, then it's just plain not done right; However, the lightsaber melee combat is the main thing with SW games & I think they did a good job with the melee combat alone, but it's just not enough to compete with some of the other first person shooters out there.

To answer the question, it varies. JK may have sold millions of copies, but there are under a thousand people playing online, so by JK standards, it varies. I don't have ASE & GS3D installed right now so I can't check the current numbers but I'll be sure to post them on sunday or monday if I remember.

Why is this game less good than some of the other shooters? What other shooters?

That's the only game that allows me to get in an x-wing or a tie-fighter and play against real people online (since X-Wing vs Tie Fighter doesn't work without a joystick).

I think if Force mod 3 will be awesome and everyone starts using it, it will COMPLETLY change jka as we know it.
