BF2142 - First Strike Star Wars Mod...

[Lucid]

Has been released!
!

Polish those blasters, power up your converters, engage thrusters.

The time has come, and at last First Strike Release 1 is here. True to our word on the 28th of September 2007 at the stroke of midnight you can now begin downloading the fruit of all our labour. The First Strike Mod Team do hope you enjoy our first release, we?ve all had a lot of fun working on it, and are desperate to see the public?s reaction to our baby as it takes it?s first steps into the world.

And remember this is only Release One, Release Two will have even more content for you to play with, but we?ll let you get your teeth into this first before we start talking about that.

So get downloading and get on the intergalactic battlefield and we?ll see you out there.

And don?t be shy, once you?ve played get on the forums and let us know what you thought of it. We?re dying to know.

I'm downloading it right now, this mod is the reason I bought BF2142 in the first place! !
I'll give my impressions some time tomorrow.

Downloading now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Fantastic mod.

I've only played the space maps so far, but they're a blast.

Can't get it to work. Some shader error that only seems to occur in Vista. Other users on the First Strike forums have the same problem. Damn that.

Damn that sucks, I wanted to play with you.

Too bad almost nobody on this forum actually still has 2142 still installed.

 

[Ennui]

Excellent. I'll have to pop back home and get my copy of 2142 so I can play this

I'm such a Star Wars geek.

Hm, Star Wars never really appealed to me...

Star Wars always appealed to you. You want to be Han Solo.

This is out? Shit I might have to go buy/torrent 2142.

I knew a handful of the devs for this back in the day from the BF1942 SW mod... (Preacher, JayBiggs, MUAHAHAHAHA, etc)

 

[Lucid]

Again, this mod is awesome fun for anyone that has 2142 and is into Star Wars.

I highly recommend it... fighting on Endor is so god damn intense with enemies being in the tree houses shooting down at you... from what could quite possibly be the best rendition of the speeder bike that I have ever played.

Seriously though, this mod rivals most of LucasArts' own Star Wars games.
