From GC on to now, the team has been able to pull in a large group of people all driven by what they love and what they like to play, Star wars, and create from scratch a modification everyone can enjoy, even those who are unfamiliar with it. First Strike has a great future ahead of it and deserves the recognition by the gaming community. It has proven it's worth and has set down the typical SW atmosphere we remember from the movies, the team has strived to achieve it and has succeeded in their work.
Because i experienced GC from the very start, i was again pulled back when i was informed that the team returned to their roots and original ideas. I was glad when i heard that, from update to update glimpses of what we could be playing after it's release, sitting in mIRC waiting patiently for news, exclusive screenshots, and mini-interviews. Hopes were up for something good, and the mod sure managed to back the words of the developers, claiming it to be a suprising piece of work.
The first round ever, that gave me a good impression of what it was all about, large scale combat, chaos, atmosphere, memories, friendship... And from the dev's point of view, to deliver a fast-paced action game about a galaxy far far away. I've enjoyed the laserbattles in the nights of Entha, the wild dogfights swirling around capital ships, crying out "Rebel scum!" as i unloaded another barrage of laser upon my unsuspecting foe. Taking my squad of hardened stormtroopers as i push back the rebels at Endor with ATST's stomping behind my back, ready to fire. That is what i like, living the movies, enjoying the atmosphere and teambased playing.
All in all, First Strike, a modification, has set down the basis and a idea on which the team can work on, starting a thing like this is hard, but it was done propperly. Sure, it needs work, but the future is promising, the team is determined, the players are awaiting the next releases, and it has proven that the concept of mixing Battlefield with SW works, yet again, creating a unique experience.
In the words of Lord Vader... "Impressive... most impressive."
]]>First Strike has taken what was good in battlefield 2142, improved it and then added its own innovative ideas, finaly wrapping it up in a star wars theme, and thats awesome. It has obviously been designed for tactical multiplayer gaming and that makes if great for PC gamers. Increased focus on squad play gives the game real depth and i can see myself playing it for a long time. It has the potential to become the best game i have ever played and i look forward to its further development.

I love First Strike how It Put's a Game within and game. Considering it's just a mod im insanely impressed how what they did with it. I mean Putting a Game within a game Aint easy, you can't exactly copy textures from another game straight to BF2142 since most likely Different engine.
