Re: Lightsabers

Yeah the Jedi/Sith features won't be completed until after the first releases anyway.

Re: Lightsabers

Well here is what i see. Say I spwan on hoth as commander luke skywalker. I have my lightsaber thats it. I can run the fastes. Then the half sphere in in front of me but its invisable. Any laser that hits it is reflected back. Thus it has to be a half a sphere so u can kill them from behind. Jedi cant reflect all lasers. Maybe if like more then 1 laser hits the sphere at one time one will make it threw. Also lightsaber fights. Code it were for lightsaber that half sphere is still there but for only the lightsaber there is a hole in the front of the sphere. And to kill him u have to hit your saber in that hole killing him. If it hits the sphere an ainmation come on of his saber hitting yours. U understand? Or you could just get behind him and kill him from there.

Re: Lightsabers

Then if its a space battle u can pilot any ship. Also destroy star ships engien with your saber. Then move tho big ships in space. This would make commander a very fun thing to play.

It's way too early to start talking about this.  Just wait.

No never i must join the dark side for "Power"

Re: Lightsabers

Can I ask why the team wants to add lightsabers. While I dont doubt that lightsabers are cool, I do doubt the point of having such weapons in this type of battle.

The Jedi/Sith only make up a small part of the Star Wars 'Verse, I would think this mod would be a chance to break away from almost every book, movie and game. Keyword almost. This mod dosent need lightsabers to make it fit in the Star Wars 'Verse.

but since Im most likely one in a few who have this opinion, I just want it to be heard.

Plus to make an effective or worthwhile saber it would need a full fledged fighting system, such as those in the jedi Knight games. and i dont see that happening in the BF2 engine. Feel free to prove me wrong, but I fell that time could be better spent working on the other 99% of the SW universe.

"Yub Yub, Commander."

Re: Lightsabers

I disagree i think its very posable to fight with them. Also the chance that both commander would meet in the map arnt likely. So mostly they would fight with there lightsaber or command ships and order troops. I think it would be cool seeing a lightsaber in the game. It could work very well it just needs some time and testing. Also just tought of this the right mouse button and lower the lightsaber then click it again to power it back up. Just something cool to have.
