First Strike Mod Update

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

There is a new update posted today over at the First Strike (http://www.firststrikemod.com/) mod website. Here's what they had to say:

As far as modding is concerned, BF2142's customization system is nearly broken. It allows only three weapon choices per class. That's far short of the full kit customization of seven items and three weapons to choose from per kit in vanilla 2142. What's more, when we started we were limited to only four kits as well, rather than BF2's system of six kits. It was literally the worst of both worlds.

Fortunately though, we were not to be deterred. To combat this problem we've instead put together a complete redesign of the kit layout structure. To start with, we combined all the major combat class functions into the first two kits. The keystone of each is the weapon selection. Each of the first two kits has three very different weapons to choose from. We specifically engineered the choices so that each weapon drastically changes the style of play for that kit. For example, the anti-infantry class has a choice of short, medium, and long range weapons. The heavy weapons class is the same in offering three different weapons for three different purposes; a heavy repeating rifle, a long range grenade launcher, and an anti-vehicle missile launcher. For gear we were sure to provide the equipment that best benefited the task of the anti-infantry or anti-vehicle trooper in their respective classes, so no matter which weapon you choose you will still have appropriate equipment for your role.

[Woodrow]

Correcto!

[Shrooms(Scott)]

That looks mighty fun, :yay:

You obviously have more than this done :nod:

Darn cliffhangers! :dead:

[Sex_Pistol]

OMG!!!! That looks so Orgasmicly sweet!!!! This is going to be awesome!!! To bad about those problems with the kits, they might wanna ask DICE maybe to patch the software to help them out, I'm sure if they ask nice enough they can get it.
I'm crossing my fingers for a ranking system too. I just really can't wait for this mod, it's going to be the only thing I play!!!:D

Thank you so much First Strike!!!!

[Kradath]

This looks damn impressive. :)

So how do we twists Dice's nipples to get guys what you need? I have heard a lot about how Dice has screwed the mod community but you would think with First Strike being the only mod for 2142 that they might actually live up to their promise and try to help the mod or at least allow them to use unlocks. There is a great thread on totalBF2 about how the mods have been screwed and I was surprised to see all the major mods in that thread confirming that Dice really did screw them over.

All that nasty stuff aside which is out of your control, the update looks amazing. As I said in the past, First Strike is the only reason I got 2142 and I can not wait until you release (But am willing to wait as long as it takes). Please keep the videos and screenshots flowing to keep us entertained until you guys are ready to release!

Awesome job guys!

Actually we have been working with DICE in getting what we need done. It is through their direct assistance that we have been able to build our space maps (via enabling new features within the 2142 engine in the last patch). For that we thank them.

As it stands we have no problems with kits as we feel our setup works great. There's no nipples left to tweak because we have almost all of what we need to complete the mod, it's just down to hard work and perseverance now.

[BIFF EXPLODER]

i wont download the mod if evil betty isnt on it... :p

looks awsome btw, never tought a battlefield game could ever look like that.

5 stars ***** :)

Damn sweet looking, everything I had hoped Star Wars Battlefront 2 would not be delivered by Lucas Arts, but will be granted by the modding community. Now if you guys could only get wide screen support in there.

Don't get your hopes up. That would requre some reprograming of the game code thats currently hardcoded.

Anyway great looking mod! I new there was a reason to get BF2142! good thing I got it because this mod is going to be the biggest mod release ever for a BF game! rock on!

[Vp2008]

this will be the best thing to happen on bf2142:yay:

[Kradath]

I hope they implement the mon calamari. :D

[Arid]

that would be SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Waatrope]

Oh that looked amazing! Can't wait!

[NadeMaster]

DAMN!! I cant wait. I am such a star wars fan :)

[Kradath]

Anyone interested in some rounds galactic comquest? :)

[calvin950]

These guys deserve a round of applause cause they do not get paid and they do not have to do this.

[Kradath]

For all the people that want to play the forrunner, here it is. The devs are not the same, the old gc devs wanted to create a new scifi mod for bf2 but it seems it's dead. :(
