If you want to be sure about the details of a server, you can always select it in the list and hit "server info" to find out what mod it's running and who is playing on it. There are a few other gametypes, but it mostly boils down to duel and not-really-FFA gametypes. This will apply to other servers running other maps, and it might not apply to every server running ffa_bespin. Most servers running this map, particularly clan servers - you can tell these by the clan tags at the beginning of the name, naturally - disallow weapons and run mods that specifically disable force powers except for jump, offense and defense. If you see a server running the map ffa_bespin, chances are it's not actually a free-for-all deathmatch with weapons and force powers where every man fends for himself. Jedi Outcast is unique in that most gametypes are not actually what you think they are. This late in the game's life, you probably won't see a large number of servers, but there are plenty to choose from. Go and change "source" from "local" to "internet" up at the top of the screen, and then hit "get new list" to connect to the server list. When you hit "join game", you probably won't see any servers initially. When you're done setting up your character, it's time to jump into a game. It is also possible to switch colors multiple times within the name, so enjoy personalizing your experience. Play around with different numbers to discover all of the colors. Optionally, you can give some color to your name in the same way as any other game based on the Quake 3 engine: with the ^ character, followed by a number. You'll avoid some potential trouble later on. Avoid these baseless judgments and choose a name for yourself before you start. A few servers will kick a "padawan" player outright.
It's a sad fact that if you go onto most servers with the default white name of "padawan", other players are going to assume you're a noob and they will treat you as such. When you first fire up the multiplayer portion of the game, you'll want to immediately head over to the setup screen and configure your player.
How and why these practices came about is beyond the scope of this guide, but rest assured that you will learn everything necessary to start out Jedi Outcast's multiplayer on the right foot. Admittedly, this has turned many players off of the multiplayer experience, but for most servers this is just a fact that must be accepted if you want to really play the game.
If you do or fail to do certain things, you might be picked on or even kicked by the denizens of a server, so it is very important to know how to behave. When you're just starting out, it can be a confusing experience. Jedi Outcast is a game with a unique multiplayer atmosphere. A Guide to Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Multiplayer
