I was reading game reviews on ign for poops, and found myself reading the Jedi Fallen Order writeup. That's a nice story, EA coming through thanks to Respawn.
What's another nice story? Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Partway down that Fallen Order review there was a link to "every Star Wars game review ev4r by ign" and i clicked through a slide show looking for this game (9.0/10 at a time when these ratings didn't quite work as they do today)
JkII: Jedi Outcast is a game i can truly feel a sense of ownership over. Growing up, gaming wasn't very easy for me, but there were a few legitimate titles which i was able to get my hands on and really play - this, Age of Empires 2, Warcraft 3, and others. JKII:JO had a fantastic single player campaign, with great characters and rich, varied enemies and locations.. but one other thing it had that was particularly great was MP.
HUGE, varied arenas with big numbers of players, heaps of skins, a vibrant modding scene, legitimate gunplay even in lightsaber-enabled battles, quick battles, epic CTF.. just fantastic.
I would kill a small gerbil with my BARE HANDS if it meant i could play a fully staffed MP match of JKII:JO again.
What about you? What old MP game would you love to have a MP scene resurrected for?
edit: this is an awful video, full of exploits and bunny hopping, I've only put it here because it's my favourite map - CTF in a city like coruscant.
