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.

Not everyone will be able to use lightsabers. Only 1 or 2 people.

Re: Lightsabers

I'm not even sure where your coming from on that one... was Luke Skywalker the commander during the battle of Hoth? No, he was flying a Snow Speeder thingy. It would be interesting to have someone randomly spawn as Luke during the battle of Hoth.... but thats just a suggestion.... It kinda reminds me a bit too much of Battlefront 2, where you sometimes have the chance to spawn as a major character.

Re: Lightsabers

why jedis and siths? smile

And a jedi or sith is not a commander, normally he even doesn't participate at fights, he just protects persons and is more for a diplomatic solution than I fight

I even don't know if this mod needs Jedis, Siths

Re: Lightsabers

Its still being debated, but we want to get the important stuff done first. Jedis were only commanders in the clone wars.

Re: Lightsabers

It's been stated that they'll probably be random classes.  Why would they be the commanders?  That makes no sense.  The commanders are supposed to find a place to hide and do exactly that.  The closest a commander should get to battle is being a sniper.  Jedi will be running around and poking people with glowy-sticks.
