Here we go to Jedi Knight Files again. This time it's for a Jedi Outcast mod that was pieced together by some Anonymous fellow who took some other peoples work and pieced em together to form something called Real Combat. Here is what the reviewer had to say about it all:Holy crap, I love this mod. I'm not sure I've played with all of the weapons that are included here before. The author of this mod is really only responsible for compiling the weapons and blood effects. But it works and it looks great and it's a ton of fun. At least, I thought so. I haven't had fun killing bots in a while, but I totally did this time. Yeah so maybe this Real Combat is fun.

Ok here we go with the Jedi Academy stuff again. This time it's a Free For All map called Dark Temple of Ashore Tol.It's a decent map in some areas, though other areas leave a lot to be desired. If this is a first map, it's a decent job, compared to other first maps I've seen. Keep at it! So check on that Dark Temple of Ashore Tol level.

The Raven news sure would be slack without the Jedi Knight Files site. There's no X-Men Legends news now... too bad it's not on PC and moddable. Seems like Soldier Of Fortune is starting to wane in the mod department and so is Elite Force. I hope Raven gets that Quake IV out soon. Anyhow I did find something for Jedi Academy. Some dude who goes by the nick Chairwalker went and made a Super Battle Droid model. For some reason I couldn't decipher if theres Bot support or not due to the fact that the readme says there is yet the reviewer says otherwise. Anyhow check out that Super Battle Droid if your into that kinda thinghy.

Today we have a small duel map that is designed for Jedi Academy by Ultimateworf that can be found on Jedi Knight Files. The reviewer said this about this map:There are a few things I look for in a duel map. First, the map should be small. Second, the map should have a high FPS. These map meets both of these. Go check out Rift Catacombs and get into a duel or somethin'.

Some dude named Renegade of Funk made a deul level for Jedi Academy that is entitled Crazy Train and the reviewer said:Now onto the map. While this map doesn't seem to be much to look at - it's a lot of fun to play. It's a small train that travels along a neverending track at a high speed. Seriously, don't fall off. Instant death. I suppose the music is fitting, though I can't say I like it. Simple concept for this map, but like I said, so much fun to play. Of course, FPS is just fine. And I didn't encounter any bugs at all. Nice job here. So maybe you too would like to go off the rails on a Crazy Train which is on that Jedi Knight Files site.

Way over onJedi Knight Files I noticed that Onobi released a neat lookin' duel map called Padme's Apartment and here is a snip from the reviewer's comments on the level:The textures used are just beautiful. Everything is so opulant here, which is just what I'd expect of Padme's Apartment. My absolute favorite part of this map is the area with the couches. That area is just gorgeous and perfect. Check out that Padme's Apartment level for Jedi Academy.

There is a clan map on Jedi Knight Files that is entitled Sex Kingdom and from the available screenshots it looks downgrabable. Now for a quote from what the reviewer had to say about it:First of all, this map has no images that you might expect with the title of "Sex Kingdom". That's just the clan's name. So yes, this is a clan map. But it's one of those clan maps that you won't mind putting on your server. You won't find clan tags or pictures plastered all over the map. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by this map. While I'm not fond of all of the lighting used in this map, there are some areas that are just pretty to look at. Fortunately, it's also a fun map to play. Check out Sex Kingdom but don't expect to see any nude wookies.

Found an interesting level on Jedi Knight Files and here is a quote: Imagine Bespin on acid. That's totally what you get with this map. It's brighter, more colorful and it has a heck of a lot more going on than the original Bespin. There are more pads, more corridors, more of everything. But the basic Bespin Streets design is still there. Check out GR Bespin that is a FFA map designed by Enemy for Jedi Outcast.

Level designer Lord Kaan made a cool looking CTF map called Nar Kreeta that is designed for 4 vs 4 gameplay but easily supports 12 to 14 players. Here is a quote from what the reviewer had to say about the level:First of all, I love it when people create maps specifically for a game type. When maps are created for several game types, one or more thing suffers to allow for the variety. But when one focuses on, say, CTF, then the map usually works really well for what it's intended purpose is. Such as this map. Not only does it play well, it's also pretty. Go capture the flag on Nar Kreeta that is on Jedi Knight Files.

Apprentice sent in the news that Asteroid Base release TWO shall be released this Friday.Other then the beta versions and Release ONE, shall Release TWO be only released as PLAYABLE version. The name PLAYABLE shall also be dropped. The reason for this, is that the three versions (Full, Playable, Split-up) are not compatible with one another, so to eliminate this problem, I’ve decided to drop the three release versions and release the map in one single file. Check out the Official Asteroid Base website for more info. For those of you who don't know, Asteroid Base is an Voyager Elite Force level which is a Starfleet base built around a large asteroid.

Level designer Nkenobi released a Free For All level for Jedi Academy called Corellian Water Treatment Plant and here is a small piece of what the reviewer had to say about it: There's a nice amount of model and brush detail around many areas, and the new water effects are pretty good as well. Weapon placement and spawn areas have been well thought out, and the doors impressed me, especially the one into the storage room which was very reminiscent of Doom 3. Have a look at that Corellian Water Treatment Plant on the Jedi Knight Files site.

You are given 3 sniper rifles as well as a phaser sidearm. Each rifle has a unique quality to it that makes sniping easier in all situations. There are no crosshairs or nametags above players heads when you look at them, so finding your target may prove to be a challenge! You are also given a scope for aiming, activated by the zoom key. Check out that Ultimate Sniper Mod right here that's on Elite Force Files.

I'm hoping Quake IV does come along soon. I need to shoot some Stroggs or something. Eh, anyhow check out that Chicago Burglary thanks to SoFFiles.com.

EniGmA made a modified version of Raven's Taspir map that he created from a sample map Raven Software had put up for download.This map is meant for gun battles. It has a few more weapon locations, so more ammo locations, and a few more spawn points. The roofs have been finished, but parts of them still have caulk on them. Partly because I am lazy, and partly because I wanted some of them like that. Check out that Taspir Frag Edition map that's available on Lucas Files.

BRIGZY released TB Bloodsport for Soldier Of Fortune 2, which is designed for deathmatch. Here is a quote from his text file:This map is about the 6th map I have made. The idea of this map is that there is nowhere to hide... there are sniper holes in walls that cover the complete tunnel system. Everyone spawns at the top at either end and jumps into the water. If you can make it to the center of the tunnel system, you will be rewarded with a rocket launcher and a serious supply of ammo. Try and hold off the players entering the tunnels from 6 directions while avoiding the snipers. Yehaw ! TB Bloodsport is on SoFFiles.com.

Level designer Sith-J-Cull finished his Sith-J-Cull's Falcon map for Jedi Academy. The map is designed for FFA with bot support, new sounds and new textures. However Sith-J-Cull says that the map isn't for an intense FFA and was created due to his love of Han Solo's Falcon. In the actual level the Falcon is situated on a desert planet, near an installation of some kind. Here is a quote from what the reviewer said about this map:Like many of you, I was eagerly anticipating the release of James' Falcon map. He promised he'd show us the full interior of the Falcon as accurately as possible - and he delivered. From the cockpit to that little game with the dudes, I can't remember the name of it, to the bedrooms to things you don't expect - like Mandalorian toilet paper. You'll see what I mean. Well off you go to check out that map right here and view the 14 sparkly screenies on Jedi Knight Files.
