How "consistent" should counterplay be? I mean, sniper weapons are fundamentally point-and-click. Should a skilled player be able to consistently nullify an attempt to click on them? Personally I like focusing on suppression/pre-firing/predicting because it's all based on being aware of the...

huh. well, I wish you the best.

Jedi are extremely good at not getting hit. Not only are you fast enough to evade lots of shots, if you just hunker down and block you can block for a long-ass time. Maybe you should read up on the mechanics? Physical constitution has nothing to do with capacity to lift things with the force...

If you're back and you're in Illinois (as in USA as in same general ping region), and you like strategic Soldier spam with loyalty to commanders, you could help me build a group that makes these kinds of gunfests happen (by stacking teams, and figuring out what kind of mind games work best to...

Thankfully, I'm not interested in MB2 achieving widespread popularity. You would HAVE to dumb it down to achieve to the masses, and you would be rewarded with a dumber, more toxic community (which, yes, is possible.) Hell, the current toxicity of the MB2 community may well be because it's...

I like the whittling. I like the limited resources and the fact that there's not a way to survive indefinitely while fighting (unless you're a very conservative saberist). I like the fact that there's only so much you can do. I like that even when you're really skilled some chaotic bullshit can...

The saber system (thanks in part to contributions by you?) seems to be heading in more strategic directions. I've usually played gunner, though, so what do I know. A bad player can already help significantly to kill a good player. Spray shots or go for knockdowns (frags, blobs, Push, etc). I...

Is it possible without compromise? Most first person shooters today are much dumber games than MB2 is. I don't mind "rock paper scissors," it's a fact of real life, I think it's fundamentally necessary for strategic depth, and i don't think it drastically overwhelms skill level in most cases in...

To all that I just somewhat apologetically (because I edited it while you were writing your reply) point to my edit on my last post. Point being: I think we just have differences in vision. I respect yours (and really honestly do value it and have the same kind of stance about certain other...

I'll just re-state that I see Soldier as a class that is fundamentally limited in its individual capacity, while also being the class that benefits the most from being stacked on itself (with good coordination). I think that's its fundamental nature, and that it's ridiculous to make Soldier a...

I don't see a problem with this at all. Soldier is the Cannon Fodder class. It's the "army" class. It shines in an army, and arguably should be the bulk of an army. But when the whole battle is just a disjointed skirmish between lone wolves, it's just a wimpy piece of fodder that's out of its...

Maybe that could be a secondary goal of my currently-nonexistent anti-toxic clan: to promote lots of teamwork and helping teammates and stuff, largely through Soldier spam. I was thinking about what the "optimal army builds" are for any given number of well-coordinated players. Like for 1...

that would certainly make suppressing fire more effective, although it's already pretty effective when done right (as in: aimed precisely at head height). Would also discourage close range usage in general, while not nerfing the actual damage capabilities of snipers. I like it. could also do...

@Liniyka_xddd proj IS super strong but I have a comment and a theoretical counterargument. Namely: The ARC M5 is even more perfectly-accurate-all-the-time, with good damage, coupled with either what's basically a scoped high-speed P3 (with a smaller hitbox) or a sticky area-knockdown. And both...

I feel like at this point it could be a good idea to just uninstall any and all Jedi Academy installations from your computer, delete all your MBII files, and then reinstall it all from scratch (while providing us with a little list of exactly what procedure you followed to install.) Just to...

i respect your commitment to providing Technical & Gameplay Support :D

Ehh, you can dodge their deflects. Jiggle around while spraying. Switch between aiming at feet and head to throw of their deflect aim. Have some other gunners backing you up (as a general rule) so that if they push you someone else will blast them in the little while that they're vulnerable. I...

Soldiers are a class that is clearly designed as cannon fodder, as the rank-and-file, as the meat of the team. I mean, it's called "Soldier" for crying out loud. Like "average combatant." Every other class is some kind of specialist snowflake. Big public servers have a tendency to degrade into...

I actually kind of dislike the idea of making it more headshot focused. I'm not sure how to articulate why though. One specific reason, though, is that it would make proj dodging more focused around mixing in crouching to twitch your head around, rather than wholesale avoiding getting hit, and...

@StarWarsGeek Oh yeah, poor word choice by me. What I meant was that it was a significant nerf. Like trashed "relatively," relative to what they were before. But I don't mean that they are trash overall now. They're still a three life class with an E-11 and frags, meaning they're still...
