You will learn how to use the force wisely, all of the pick-ups and power-ups, and strategies for every mode including Free For All, Holocron, Capture the Flag, Capture the Ysalimari, Jedi Master, and Duel! May the force be with you!!! ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Getting into Multiplayer ---^- Alright. First of all, how do we even get to multiplayer? You have three options. The first thing you can do is play through LAN, Local Area Network. If you live in a small town and want to play on LAN though, dont expect to find anybody to play. Your second option is through Internet servers. In this FAQ I will not tell how to start your own servers. There are many many internet servers to choose from. Personally, my favorite server is a Duel Server called NewSchool. Your third option, my favorite option, is playing through Microsoft's Zone Network. You can get there through www.zone.com and it is absolutly free! So, we know how to find somewhere to play. Lets work on your character customization! Open up the splash screen on Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast where it gives you the choice of single player and multiplayer. Choose multiplayer. Now, go into setup. The first menu you should see is the Player menu. This is where we want to be :). The first thing in the menu is your name. Alright, the name of your character might seem like something simple to you, but I could probably write another FAQ on it LOL. It is time for the biggest decision of your Star Wars: Jedi Outcast life. You must choose your force side! What will it be? The Dark side or the Light side? Personally, I chose not to be evil. Your name needs to associate with your side. Dont be a Dark sider with a name like "MASTER JEDI". Jedis are for the Light side! Alright, you chose your name. Lets add some color to it! Erase your name if you have already typed it in. Now, for your name type in ^ and any number (e.g. ^3). Now retype your name, HEY LOOK AT THE COLORS!! Time to pick your saber color now! Your saber needs to associate with your side. Heres the saber side list! Green = Light Side Blue = Light Side Purple = Light Side Orange = Both Sides Yellow = Both Sides Red = Dark Side Pick one that corresponds with your side. Thats it for the lightsaber part. Now you need to pick your skin. Please do not go onto the internet and download skins unless you want other people wasting their time having to download them so they can see you. May the defaults be with you :) ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Force Powers ---^- The half RPG part of Star Wars Jedi Outcast is the force part. With points, you can customize your force powers. Your points are earned by killing other players, what else? This is a list of every force power and its force side! **To change your force side, while in game press Esc, then go into the player menu and then into Configure Force Powers. There you can change your force side** NOTE : Grey force side means that every force user can use the ability. -- Dark Rage Force Side : Dark What it Does : Dark Rage makes you move quicker and attack faster. Although, it depletes your health as it is in affect. Once your health is near death, you will recharge, but move very slowly. -- Force Seeing Force Side : Grey What it Does : With this you can dodge sniper shots and even see players that are using Mind Trick! -- Force Drain Force Side : Dark What it Does : This drains force energy from the opponent's force pool. -- Force Protect Force Side : Light What it Does : This transforms damage into force energy, which is very helpful when fighting good lightsaberists! -- Force Absorb Force Side : Light What it Does : This transforms force damage into force energy, which is very helpful when fighting the dark side of the force. -- Force Team Heal(1)/Force Energize(2) Force Side : Light(1)/Dark(2) What They Do : If you are in a team battle, these powers will heal your teammates that are in a certain area around you. -- Force Push Force Side : Grey What it Does : Pushes an enemy to the ground -- Force Pull Force Side : Grey What it Does : Pulls an enemy toward you into the ground. -- Force Speed Force Side : Light What it Does : Speeds you up dramatically. -- Force Heal Force Side : Light What it Does : Heals your character. -- Force Grip Force Side : Dark What it Does : Chokes an enemy. -- Force Mind Trick Force Side : Light What it Does : Makes you invisible. -- Force Lightning Force Side : Dark What it Does : Shocks opponents -- Force Boon (PICK UP) Force Side : Grey What it Does : Gives unlimited force pull for a short period of time -- Force Enlightenment Force Side : Light/Dark What it Does : Gives every force power for the side you are on ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Pick-Ups ---^- This is the list of pickups you can get in multiplayer games. -- Ysalamari Description : When carried by a player, the force cannot hit the player. Although, the player cannot use the force. -- Shield Description : The most awesome item in the world. This is a shield put on the ground that blocks enemy movement and attack. -- Med Pack Description : This replenishes your health whenever you get it. -- Bio Canister Description : Instead of instantly replenishing your health, you can save this until you really need it and then replinish!! ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Free For All ---^- Free For All mode is where you get to have a lot of people fighting it out with everything they got. Every little shred of skill is used in a FFA combat. Heres a list of tips that you might find helpful for your FFA combat. TIP #1: If you wanna duel, well then thats o"K"! If you wanna duel with someone on an FFA server and dont want any disturbance from other players, walk up to your opponent and press K. Make sure your lightsaber is off. If they press K, then you two will go into a duel. No one from the FFA world can harm you, but you cant run off and harm them either! TIP #2: "Time we teach you the ropes." Learn the environments of your maps. Learn every nook and cranny about them. In FFA you never know what will happen. At all times, if you want to be a pro fighting 3 or more people, you gotta know whats above, below, around, and beside you or else you will get caught by surprise or sniped or something!! TIP #3: Assign a Training Day At least one day in the week, you need not to get online and just go practicing your skills on a private little game you start. Just keep on practicing and praciticing. You can even add BOTs to help you! Trust me, just one day of training per week will get you into a very very good player. Thats what you will need for FFA because you never know what is going to happen! ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Duel ---^- Duel mode is just a one on one skill fight. Personally, I prefer duel mode. I like a specific rule on my duel fights. NO FORCE AND NO GUNS. With force, you never show your true skill, its just buttons on a keyboard. Guns? Bleh, thats just sick. Lightsabers show your true skill as a Jedi or Sith. So, heres the tips on duel mode! TIP #1: Expect the Unexpected Never underestimate your enemies. Watch their strategies and find their weaknesses. You never know what your opponent's next move will be. The best solution to the unknown is do something that will totally blow their mind. TIP #2: Don't Let the N00bs Slide.. No matter how good anybody you are fighting is, never just go easy on them. Look, even a first timer is going to have a bit of skill with a saber, and you gotta fight that skill! Dont let them beat you or just mess with you. Dont let them just play around like going into a jumping (I can see you now flames2k1) frenzy. Kill them. TIP #3: Become one with the saber Practice your lightsaber skills. They will always come in handy. ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Jedi Master ---^- Now this mode is totally awesome. Everyone starts out as non-jedi players. There is a lightsaber somewhere in the map! Once a player picks up the lightsaber, they become a Jedi Master! They do not drop the saber until they are killed! TIP #1: Become one with the saber Practice your lightsaber skills. They will always come in handy. TIP #2: Hide and Seek Shoot at the Jedi Master in dark places and run! TIP #3: Hide and Seek 2 When a Jedi Master, turn off your lightsaber and hide until a non-jedi runs by. Then run up and kill them! Good strategy, no? ---------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Capture the Flag ---^- Capture the Flag is one of my least favorite modes because of the extreme difficulty. You must capture the opposing team's flag and bring it back to your own base. TIP #1: Be quick You need to move fast and not be seen by enemies. TIP #2: Dont leave alone A thief should never leave alone. They need to have at least one or two gaurdians with them. The gaurdians need to stay back a bit though, not close enough to interfere. TIP #3: Gaurdians of the Night Always leave people at your base to gaurd your own flag! --------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Capture the Ysalamari ---^- This is just like Capture the Flag, but there is one big difference! Once you are carrying the Ysalamari you cannot use the force and the force cannot be used on you. TIP #1: Be quick You need to move fast and not be seen by enemies. TIP #2: Dont leave alone A thief should never leave alone. They need to have at least one or two gaurdians with them. The gaurdians need to stay back a bit though, not close enough to interfere. TIP #3: Gaurdians of the Night Always leave people at your base to gaurd your own Ysalamari! --------------------------------------------------------::: -^--- Holocron ---^- In Holocron mode, you start out with no force. There are force cubes all over the map in Holocron mode. Once you pick up the cube, you learn that force power. TIP #1: Dont share Dont let someone quickly steal a cube that you saw first. If they steal it, kill them with your own force powers you have. If you dont have any, kill them when you get some. TIP #2: Team Up and Team Down Try to get a negotiation going with someone you dont know. Once you think they least expect you to kill them, kill them. TIP #3: What A Laugh If you know someone wants a force cube really bad, find it quickly before they do and gaurd it. Hide right beside it and when they run by pull your lightsaber and show them who owns the cube :) --------------------------------------------------------::: CLOSURE)) Ignore The Imposter : An imposter is going around saying that he is me etc. The e-mail address of this imposter is burntmetal@hotmail.com.
