True but when was the last time you seen an all out ffa with spaming of special moves on a Base server that wasn't just a piss take. Its extremely rare if even existent but Ive seen a lot of JA+ servers with my own eyes (Facts you can say) which are like that.

JA+ is just more popular so new guys will most likely stumble into a JA+ server and spam... if it were the other way around then base servers would have the new guys spamming specials... New players don't see a server and say "Woah it's JA+, time to spam =D" because new guys usually think all servers are the same.

  • Elite Force > Jedi Knight.
  • Even if the input is identical in two seperate tests, alter the process and the output results won't be anywhere near close.
  • "by default" isn't actually winning.
  • This thread needs more Sheepeep.

if you ask me, I prefer jk2 multiplayer and single player. The only reason I still play jka is MB2, because I really hate jka mp.
JKA is slower, the sabers don't feel better at all, the maps are worse, plus my favorite mode was ruined (CTF saber only).

If you find JKA slow then why do you play MB2 its saber system is much slower and really messed up (IMO).

I can say that jka's sp is a bit crap, jk2's sp is better. But you can get all jk2 maps on jka easily aswell as the maps it already has. I have tried jk2 and I don't really see much difference in speed of combat though quite a lot of people on jka don't just rush in and try to dfa they play passive.

You can also get CTF saber only on JKA aswell but for some reason people like being able to push you down a whole or have guns. I for one sometimes have my base server on CTF saber only.

Im no fan of the JA+ mod but for what I have seen it has a lot of similarities to JK2: The emotes, Annoying roll thing which makes you roll when your trying to do a combo (worse in jk2), flip kick(Always wondered where this annoyance came from), JA+ MP damage system was even for some reason trying to be like JK2 (Maybe the reason why most JA+ servers play on SP damages now).

I for one believe that JK2's damage system is a bit crap and lacks skill. Base JKA is better for skill and JA+ is better than JK2 for the "fun" aspect.

But ye as SiLink would probably point out you play what you enjoy playing and its not anyone else's place to tell you what you should play.

Well, I don't like sabers in mb2 either, I play with the guns ;).
The jka CTF can't be played at all. Any semi decent flag carrier is impossible to be killed.
Oh and I don't play JK2 anymore, it's a closed chapter for me.

On most ctf servers you can push them down a hole or spam rockets at them etc to kill them. But on saber only with no force the aspect of strafe jumping comes into great use, If you learn to have a good strafe you can catch up to the flag carrier quite easily. Killing them is another matter it involves being good at hitting a moving target and sometimes air hits come into play to. Teamwork is a major aspect in ctf aswell (If you can get a server with players who don't treat ctf like a tffa just attacking anyone).

Do that kind of players even exist? All players I`ve seen so far seemed unable to grasp the concept of team playing. :cort:

Ye but they are rare. On my clans server we sometimes decide to do a ctf and since were experienced base players we have good teamwork. Its basically next to impossible to go on a random ctf server and have a team with good teamwork thought. Most of the time it is when a clan has a sufficient number of members in the server and decide to do a ctf. Even then sometimes people connected and ruin it (Thank God for being able to password a server).
