Hey, I'm getting JKA for pc today. Already beat it on XBox and I have JK2 for pc. Decided I need to check JKA for pc out.

Anybody know of mods I must download? Or advice on how I should conduct myself on the servers for multiplayer?

And last, if you have played both JK2 and JKA tell me how you think JKA compares to JK2.

-Thanks, I hope to get lots of responses.

And by the way, hope I'll have time to hang out here.

The best advice, is to buy a different game...

You'll notice most servers use JA-. Don't fall in with the common crowd. A lot of people will tell you it makes JKA like JK2. It doesn't. It just nerfs the hell out of the dueling.

JAE is a good mod, it keeps the damage and hitdetection system at baseJKA, and you don't need to download anything to play on it's servers. Likewise with Lugormod, which is more of an RPG mod, but does have fun little features.

(That reminds me, I forgot to set 3MJ's server to JAE...)

I assume the way you would in the average JK2 server. If in doubt, read the server's MOTD. If still in doubt, ask someone what that particular server's rules are.

My advice for you Kaeros..avoid the JA+ mod. The mod unbalanced the combat pretty bad.

Best mods for me..

JAE.
or
xMod.

But it all depends on what key elements of a mod your looking for. I distinguishly prefer JAE as it provides you with a better administrative control whilst keeping the game BaseJKA.

i really like the MB2 mod but thats just me. i always found JKA duels as just hack n slash. MB2 gives saber combat a twist. and not to metion it gives u objectives. if u ever get bored of JKA or just think the saber fights r dull get MB2. or if u like team play.

That's not the point.
JKA is JKA.
MB2 is a cheap version of Star Wars Battlefront.

Thanks for the advice guys.

It turns out I'm going to have to order JKA since I can't find it in any stores so I will soon I think.

I'll have to check out these mods when I get JKA, and yes, I'll avoid JK+.

Thanks again and I can't wait to join you on the servers.

FYI, not sure where you live, but Wal Mart stores seem to be stocking Jedi Academy pc games for around $9.88
