I've played online plenty and it's great fun but getting reluctant friends to do so isn't easy. Learning against hardened players can be frustrating to noobs. I've had every incarnation of the mini-sp mod and we've tested and played those. Good stuff and I don't mind the vanilla 2142 maps, just the AI, automated gun systems and the lack of all the cool vehicles make it less favorable to play versus FSMod. I know the complexities of adding bots. Back with BF1942 I made a few or maybe 8 maps and AI was a bitch then too, beyond me in fact.

THe single player version works great on a hamachi based server , we have had some killer co-op games that way .
In my opinion Dnamros single player mod is really good.
And in Co-op its really really good.

Thankfully, there are no professional or full-time players in FS.

Still, some of us have had a lot of practise, so I take your point. The converse is also true though; most of the experienced players will be quite happy to help you out, particularly if you get in a squad and use the in-game VOIP. We all want more players online, so we don't actually want to scare you off.

Yes, I'll do my damnedest to apply my size 12s to your posterior if you are on the other side, but I'll also do my best to help you if you are on my side...

Come on – it beats getting pwned by a computer!

We're working on it. Dnamro is the only person on the team who singularly focuses on SP, though, so it's tough. At some point, though, it will happen.

Unfortunately bot support takes up a lot of resources, the maps have to be set up a certain way to achieve this, and it'll be a while before that can be fully incorporated into the game, however as has been mentioned you can download the Singleplayer Mini Mod which has gone quite far into converting FS maps for bot use. Its continuing development will most likely eventually lead to it being fully integrated with the standard First Strike mod, but this will be a while off yet.

CO-OP would also allow to fill empty Online Servers with Bots and help promote FirstStrike at Lanparties.

I know a few people that really want to try it but have problems getting online. SP support would really help lift this mod until they get their net issues sorted.

There is a single player mini mod available. As for full incorporation of it, I dont know.

Please Please tell me there will be OFFICIAL bot support in the next patch. 1 year later after the mod's release can we finally have a game for online multiplayer, singleplayer and lan parties? A lot of people are turned off or scared to play the game because the 400 professional players out there online kick their pie as soon as they try to play. CO-OP for them would be a good crutch.
