Darth Maul Double 'Saber -- 10:01 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

There's a cheat code in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast to enable a double-bladed lightsaber a la Darth Maul in Episode I. It only works in multiplayer with cheats enabled. Hopefully in a future patch they can fix some of the animations (the one blade tends to cut through your model--without doing damage) and make it "official." Here's how, as posted on several JKII sites:

1. Fire up JKII multiplayer
2. Start a game with cheats enable via this console command: devmap ffa_bespin
3. Switch to the lightsaber and then turn it off
4. Pull down the console and type the command: thedestroyer
5. Enjoy some double-bladed action!

Although the one blade does not harm you when it appears to cut through you, it will damage opponents! JediKnightII.net has some screenshots of it in action.
