ok, here i am yet again, having to explain my views....
thats yet another useless feature. ok, i got jedi outcast and jedi academy. you have the option to put your saber away. people sue it as a 'Saber down = peace' rule. well, i ignore it, and i get loads of kills on those who refuse to play. i mean, the game says 'Free For All' not 'Grandma's Hearts Chat and Competition'.
whats the point of putting your saber away as soon as combat ends? say your fighting a group of 3 dark jedi. you slay them, and your low on health. your two party members put their sabers away, so do you. then, you manage to walk around the corner 3 second after you won, and you get slaughtered because you had to put away your weapon for no reason except suicide.
so there ya go.
