Lightsaber kills 1 hit????

In the new trailer all the reborns they show die with one hit from the light saber.
is it going to be like this in MP?
or when it comes up to the last bad guy?
and what is this

?

I'd have to imagine damage will vary depending on what type of stance you use.. a strong stance will probably drop someone in 1-2 hits. regular stance will probably take 2-4. and a fast stance may require 5+ hits.

Definitely more than 1 hit in MP....in the newest trailer there's a part where about 5 players fighting with a lightsaber...i bet it's more than 1 hit....

Although it'd be nice if there's an option to control the realism of the game..."Realistic" --> "Normal" --> "Futuristic" ?

Using Ghoul2, The area in which you hit them will impact how many times you must hit them too.

is Evan Piel, member of the Jedi Council. One wonders how he poked his eye out.

If it were a lightsaber poke, his face would probably melt off....probably genetic? or so it looks cool (like a pirate)? I don't know....:confuse:

i read somewhere he got his eye messed up fighting a group of terrorists that he took out single handedly so it was probably a close shave with blaster fire
i think it was in one of the comics actually

In MP there will be sheilds avalible to use. You have get rid of the sehild before you can inflick health damage on a player. So in MP it will be a good 2-3 hits (depending on sheild strength) before you can damge someones health enuff to frag them

Naphtali · 03-15-2002, 04:56 AM

yes with the engine it will be one hit kill depending on where you hit, and of course the stances and type of attacks.

In Single Player yes....In Multi Player no becasue of the sheild facotr

i don't think we can really tell by the trailers... the enemies could have been pre-wacked before delivering the final blow. I hope that there will be one hit kills, and hopefully no more then 3 hits in normal stance for boses and multiplay (i mean three hits to torso area) with sheilds too. having to hit people like 7 times is annoying, hopefully AI will be good so they are hard to hit.

I wouldn't go based on the trailer. We have no idea where they were in the stage of the fight.

Cracken · 03-15-2002, 11:13 AM

Keep in mind that this isn't JK, where the saber fights amounted to essentially nothing more than jousts rather than duels. With the ability to "lock" sabers, I have a feeling that it WILL be 1-2 hit kills, except for maybe the final boss who will probably have armor of some sort. Again, as stated, it all depends on the stance and the hit spot.

Krak3n · 03-15-2002, 11:47 AM

lol - we have very similar names cracken

What e mean is multi player. If you look at the trailer 1 hit does = 1 kill, in the single player parts, if u look at the multiplayer part 1 hit does not = 1 kill, becasue of sheilds, it will be around 2-3 hits or even more, depending on sheild strength.

Squalliss · 03-15-2002, 11:49 AM

And you have to remember, your lightsaber can be used for defenseive moves, not just offensive. So you should last pretty long.

Agen · 03-15-2002, 12:04 PM

as long as you do'nt get hit
