Jedi Outcast Weapons and Forces in detail -
Thanks to Locke505 for letting us know and also I've seen it in a forum thread, but the Jedi Outcast at MSN gaming zone (though pages are still incomplete) has detail descriptions of weapons and forces of Jedi Outcast that I haven't seen elsewhere.
It doesn't have any images but the text tells alot about each weapons/forces/items. Head over to this page to check it out.

Jedi Outcast Preview -
We've been informed that PC Games Portal has posted a new preview of Jedi Outcast.
The preview is indeed in German and most of you probably need a translator to read (like Altavista). The translation is dumb, but even I (Japanese) could understand the flow of the preview, so I'm sure you guys can do better.
The preview is located here.

Jedi Outcast Review at Games Radar UK -
Heh, if this isn't jumping the gun, I don't know what is. The folks at Games Radar UK have already posted a review this morning for Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Here's a snippet:
In the structural sense, JK II matches its forebear with ease: the enormity of scale that the original Jedi Knight demonstrated was one of that game's real achievements, and while many FPS titles are now as far ahead as JK II in terms of architectural complexity (and a few are now already beyond it in graphical terms), the scale still elicits palpable twinges of panic and vulnerability at times. Most often when teetering above a seemingly infinite abyss as laser fire erupts all around you. Indeed, no other current FPS offers the same breathtaking sense of scale as JK II.Head on over and check out the rest!

Description: This is the first level I've created. It consists of two stories, each with 5 spheroids connected via thrust sectors. The first level connects with the second story also via thrust sectors. All surfaces are translucent, providing for a dizzying/confusing atmosphere. Probably not a good level for extended periods of play. Normal gravity has also been halved.

Description: UW2 continues the story of one Ugnaught's journeys through a galaxy that is hostile towards his race. Kyle, Weegee, Tosk, Bob Saget, and others -- all out to get him. Fortunately, an Ugnaught Warrior is skilled in the ways of the wrench, and has many strange weapons and powers at his disposal. This patch allows players to be Ugnaughts. Their limited movements have been expanded, so the Uggies can now do anything Kyle could. As in the original, the lightsaber is replaced with a wrench, but now all the weapons are changed. There are some new abilities, force powers, and skins, too.

These include some people/enemies that were in Jedi Master Episode 2 like Kyle, Jan, tusken, greedo, and a few more. It also features a puzzle to get the concussion rifle and a nice "Easter egg". I created this so I could run wild over my level with my mates having a laugh. As it's MOTS it probably won't get played over the zone, but at least that means it won't get hacked to bits.

Today we, at massassi, are proud to host our first Jedi Outcast Submision. This just goes to show that this site is going to be here, and that it is going to continue to provide you with the same great resources, editor saavy, and nearly anything else you could think of that pertains to the Jedi Knight universe. You can download the mod here.
A big round of applause goes to lordvader for putting forth the extra effort to send the first Jedi Outcast related submission.
I think there was hesitation to send in Jedi Outcast files because the masses thought we didn't support that yet. Well, we're here kicking and screaming. So submit some stuff already! The game has been out almost two full days!

Description: This is an update to the previous version of Z Arenas! It will make all levels available in Team Free For All, as well as the Free For All and Duel modes included in the original version. To enable the mod, create a new folder for it in your JK2 GameData folder. It can then be turned on in the Mods part of the JK2 Setup menu. Why 'Z' Arenas? No reason. =)
