Revive Jan Ors!

Nah, but ya never saw her in JA. So ya don't really know where her and Kyle's story went. Unless she became a stay at home mom or something .

Well, kyle never died at the end of JA. I think it showed him crawling out of the rubble.

But yes, more twi'lek chicks

Nope; Kyle doesn't die on either side of JA

maybe JK4 should start from a different perspective following the story line of JKA, like one of the captured cultists having to escape from the yavin academy then rising to restore the order of the sith.... good idea from the forum noob?

Meh, I think they should ditch the JA storyline; it seems like the sickly, pale shadow of JO's storyline to me.

I found that JKA was poor compared to JO because you had no set story line to follow, less narrative prevented me from seeing a goal to complete. I would personally love to stay with the ideas from JKA, having it set after gives you an insight as to what has happen before the events of the game. Playing from an alternate view from after those events would give the player extra insight as to what has taken place. It wouldnt have to include all of the ideas like the whole ragnos thing, I think that sucked, but yes I agree on having a new game engine and better guns, not so sure about the multi player tho, I kinda like it

I think the next JK4 should be about Jacen Solo, he's the only jedi who relize's that there is no darkside you can weild all powers its how you use them that makes you bad or good.
They could rap it around the hole Tratior series it would be great, getting to use all the powers at you dissposal to take on the evil  Vuuzhan Vong
It would make a good game maily because it would bring a hole new generation to the gaming(SW)world

to bad all we can do is dream that they might cuz if they do it would make the best game yet...
anyone agree...

I'd agree about the new engine, this one is getting a bit old. A bit different style of play too.

I think it should be a bit more like KOTOR as NC said, but without the leveling system etc (that'd be kotor then). Just the atmospheric-like thing, you know what I mean. You could travel to other places when you need to, like kotor also. The main difference would be that it's a first person shooter, not a kotor style game.

But it's not really a shooter.  Play it online and you will almost NEVER get any Star Wars shootup action.  Just saber dueling... which gets REALLY boring after a while.

The biggest issue I had with JKA was the fact that you couldn't use AI in siege based games, so basically you had to play it online with other players... what's wrong with that?

I'll tell you what's wrong with it...

Siege is a shooter style game.  Blow open door.  Hack computer.  Open door.  Use heavy weapons team-mates to empty room of enemies.  Move on.

But people who play JKA hate guns.  Why?  Because they are so effing pissed that a guy with a e-11 can blow the living turds out of any one man (or woman) with a lightsaber.  SO, they ban guns, and install a crapload of effing admin mods so that effing admins (who live in their moms basement browsing porn, and of course, being stupid admins) can enforce "fair rules" to "enhance the gameplay experience" (ie: Make it boring, and restricting) !

So, people hate guns = general dislike for siege.  BUT... wait!  We can just give all the siege players lightsabers, so now it's more like this:

Blow open door.  Hack computer.  Open door.  Start lightsaber dual.  10 minutes later... duel ends.  Move on... BUT WAIT, we have to fight ALL the other team, but in individual organized duels, because it's cooler. (IE: I'm an idiot, and I don't want to die.  Maybe if I fight only one person, my single core, non hyper-transport, multi-threading-incapable brain will be able to handle the action, and I might just win!)

The above makes siege idiotic and tedious, so people don't play it at all.

My opinion: Get rid of the effin' admins with their effin' admins mods and play the damn game the way it was meant to be played!

Well... that was rather un-orderly, but I had to say it, so I did.  Thanks for listening.

There was/is actually a mod the adds bots to siege, actually.

I don't know how well the bots do objectives, but The Open Jedi Project is what you're looking for. I think I'm meant to be compiling a mac version actually, so that should be done soon.

I don't know if you've tried the siege mod Movie Battles 2 or not, it's online-only but definitely worth giving a go.
