How is the Duels mod anyways? What's the current population compared to MB2?

Movie Duels is a singleplayer only mod, whereas Movie Battles is a multiplayer only mod. :D

I can guess 3 reasons why Movie Battles isn't so popular:

1.) Steep learning curve
Some people give up once they see how complex the mod is - they might feel overwhelmed.
People I've met wanted to play Jedi and Sith classes and rack up a ton of kills like they did in EA's Battlefront 2. It's difficult to play Jedi and Sith classes properly and people just leave the mod because they weren't able to kill everyone by themselves as opposed to Battlefront 2.

2.) The community
Although there are helpful and friendly people in the community, not everyone has enough patience and understanding for newbies. New players have a difficult time during their first few matches because they don't know what they're doing and they're matched against veterans who've played the mod for years.

3.) People don't know Movie Battles exists
Since Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast is going to be released for Nintendo Switch by the end of September, we should advertise the mod a bit.
The next Movie Battles update will include tutorials which will help new players with the basics - hopefully we can let people know about the new update once it arrives.

any multiplayer game should have a steep learning curve and its only steep when playing jdi or sith, also the community isnt much different from any other not everyone is patient and if you wanna play anything good star wars this is where its at

i agree with most of your points though maybe the devs could make a better manual for people only wanting to play jedi and sith, but i tried asking them to advertise a little bit they said maybe for the new update

I couldn't agree more!

I like the process of learning and getting used to new game mechanics, however some people dislike having to spend 20 hours or so just to get used to the basics.
I really like games which have depth and lots of mechanics, but some people prefer to just jump in and do stuff - some aren't willing to spend some time to learn first. :D

Jedi Knight franchise as whole is niche.(Even episode 3 game on PS2 and Xbox were more successful)

If something I think it's JA that is holding it back. If Movie Battles was a standalone free game it would become more popular.

It was more popular 2017-2018

movie battles is basically free and ja is coming to ps4 in 2020 and so is jedi outcast on the 20th and are considered one of the best star wars games to date, and you can literally get ja for 2 bucks on g2a and play movie battles with no effort at all the mod costs nothing to play still has a dedicated player base and is updated more than enough for something over ten years old

[oChalko]

i dont get how epsiode 3 is considered good when outcast and ja have dedicated first person view and light saber combat that still is unmatched by any other game

During the Steam Winter Sale, you can get the game for 0,99 € ! That's an awesome deal for such an amazing game.
I'm saying that because it isn't guranteed you'll get what you paid for on g2a website.
