Glad to hear things went well last night. Sounds like fun was had by all. Gutted I couldn't be there on one level, but also had a cracking night myself. Hope to see a few of the old guard on again tonight. Would be good to catch up with some of the old friendly faces. Maybe see you later.

Yeah, was a great deal of fun and nice to see some old faces, new faces and generally have enough live players to enjoy some good matches. To see a (relatively) well populated server from 6pm to 1030 or so was great, even if I did have to disappear for a few hours.

Thanks to BI and GC for hosting the event and inviting everyone along. For the time I was on I thought the server seemed very stable, hopefully the amended python files were received and helped with that?

Hope to see some of you a little more often, we still play the campaign on a Sunday night, and perhaps we should look at restarting the community night on a Saturday as well.

Thanks for organizing. It brought back some great memories of when we could fill 64p servers and it reminded me of why I loved FS. This mod rocks, it might need some fixes here and there but the overall gameplay is still surprisingly solid.

The game feels quite clunky nowadays though. I don't know if it was the server or just BF2142 but sometimes it felt like my hits did not register or I'd suddenly die from 100 to 0. I had a 40-50ms ping but it felt like much more... Also the movement sometimes felt awkward, a bit as if I'd warp from time to time.

Nonetheless, fun times were had ;-)

Thanks all who turned up today. It was quite fun and the new guys pretty much all had fun. One guy who was SLing ended up so sick of being unable to hit anything that he took to just hiding whenever action was happening and still enjoyed himself, it says something about how fun this mod can be

It was nice to get some old faces out from BI, GC and the FS community, I'm just sorry it was so short notice. Quite a few people were busy with work or life commitments in all communities, and then there was the normal setup issues, but still, turnout was OK. I hope some of the old faces stick around

For now though, if anyone here wants to get back in touch with me or others from BI, feel free to add me as "Gwynzer" on Steam. We're currently playing Planetside 2 (it has jetpacks, DUKE, you'll love it) if anyone has it, and are also looking into Battlefront 3 and Star Citizen when they come out. We may see some of you on there Also, anyone who sees themselves picking up Battlefield 4, you may wish to give GC a look for your weekly dose of teamplay

No worries. Just a shame I already have plans for tonight, or I'd have joined you for a few games. Have fun.

Thanks for throwing the info up on the frontpage. Good stuff.

I won't be around this Saturday, but I'll certainly get the word out there to help drum up some support for the event.

Re: BlackIntel Teams with Global Conflict To Play First Strike

Aye? Sure thing, anything that potentially makes the server just that little bit more stable is welcome

Re: BlackIntel Teams with Global Conflict To Play First Strike

Righto.

There are some python tweaks i would recommend though to be on the safe side. I've found that we were having a lot of server crashes, by removing some code that seems to have sorted a fair few stability issues and player disconnects.

It is a server side only fix, won't affect players via punkbuster.

Sorry, as I said originally I was in a rush to get the very basic information out there. Master post is updated. I'll get back to you on server files, we still have backups of our old server which in theory should just need restored and they'll be working, I hope to work on that tomorrow

Slightly confused... are you announcing this to drum up some player numbers, or just inviting people to listen in while you play your campaign?

If you need stable server files let me know.

Hi All,

Long time no see. I just wanted to alert the FS community that BlackIntel and Global Conflict, will be running a public First Strike event this Saturday on the BlackIntel server which will be set up in time for the event. We also invite all participants to join the Global Conflict Teamspeak server at the details below. The event is open to all and we're hoping for a decent turnout. We hope to start around 6PM UK time (1PM US East, 7PM Central Europe) and will hopefully play for quite a while.
Teamspeak IP: ts.global-conflict.org
Teamspeak Pass: gcfun

What is BlackIntel?

For those who are unaware/forgot, BlackIntel/BI are a community who were a long time supporter for FS for many years. We had a Farewell Event in June last year which marked the community officially dropping First Strike as a supported game and removal of our server. We want to get some of the old crew back together to play the game that brought us together, and also get back in contact with some of our old friends who did not stick with us.

What is Global Conflict?

Global Conflict is a group of players of various skill levels all around the world who get together to play some organised Battlefield 3 tournaments where the teams take turns attacking various tiles on a RISK style map. The group have been together for over 10 years, and have played since BF1942 through to Battlefield 3. Their latest campaign ended recently and they have been looking for things to do before Battlefield 4 is released. I've suggested a First Strike day and quite a few people seem interested. For anyone who played in the old Nations in Conflict campaigns, these guys run a similar set up but it is so much better organised and a lot more fun.

Personally, I'm hoping as many people from this community can come along as possible. I recognise it is very much short notice (For here, and for BI/GC) so that may impact on participation, but hopefully we still get a old faces turning up. I'll be sending PMs to some of the old crew anyway hoping they get an e-mail notification, though I've had problems with the e-mail system and trying to reset my password here for months now, we'll see.

Things like maplist and such are still to be decided. We'll certainly have the classics in though, and some of the guys are eager for some space combat too.
