am i the only one who couldn't stand the single player part of this game? it's just one pain in the ass after another, nothing really fun. i didn't even finish it. all i wanted was a lightsaber and the force and that was the biggest pain in the ass to get and once you get it you don't get to use it very much at least at the part that i stoped playing

BTW, I keep getting disconnected in the middle of downloads. For example, the file size of JK2 1.04 is appro. 9MB but I see about 4.5MB when I check. Maybe it's the connection since I live in South Korea.

"Corrected bug allowing players to pivot while executing
backstab moves in all stances. Players may no longer pivot
when executing these moves."
Still doesn't change the fact that all the DM servers and saber CTF servers are full
of people who just walk backwards.

The moves in this game were the hidden secret. Though I have beaten the game a while back, now I am going back and trying different tactics in attacking various foe. Being able to run a short way along walls, do a back-flip off a wall, and take down multiple targets with your thrown lightsaber is truly cool. The first half was ho-hum but the second made me stick with it. I didn't realise until I finished how many different ways there were to approach this game. Using a lightsaber is truly an art.

No new official maps? :( Me wants more CTY/F maps. Yeah, sure there are lots of downloadable maps, but unless they're distributed from an official source (ala piggy-backed on a patch) no one has them/no server runs them.

The single player is worth playing out. It gets really fun when you become jedi-like with all the force powers. The multiplayer I didn't care for because it seemed so wacky.
