Just played a few hours of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy on MP doing some of the lightsaber combat. In comparison to M&B combat its definitely faster paced and more "flashy". It was definitely cool to do flips around the map and watch the fight move from corridor to corridor as me and my opponent flipped and jumped around the map using the force. However, I gotta say theres no real combat metagame like there is in Warband and cRPG. Theres definitely skills to work on but its nowhere near as indepth. Blocking, for those as you who dont know, is instead of having a block key it uses physics to detect where the swords are and if they intercept they will block(kind of like chambering). All and all its a fun combat system, if anyone wants to duel me in Jedi Academy or Jedi Outcast hit me up on steam.(steam username: evilmagic).
Also if anyone ever wants to play Star Wars: Battlefront II, Empire at War, or any of the others let me know. They're all awesome games and I enjoy all of them.
