Topic: Another FS dream the other night.

I've been having infrequent FS dreams as part of my jonesing/withdrawal symptoms from starwars games.

The other night it was Tatooine, and a speeder bike encounter. We approached each other down a long stretch of path through ruined buildings, speeder cannons blazing. Realising we were both struggling to hit each other and neither of us willing to close, I rolled off the bike and onto one knee- firing single shots with my A280.
He winged me with some splash damage but I was placing my shots and looking into the lenses of his helmet, reading his body language, I could see he understood he was done for. He dropped off his bike, trying to get his gun up but I had my eye in and dropped him with a last shot.

I remounted my bike and joined the advance into the city. We broke through the other side and two T-1B tanks rushed with me into the enemy's last outpost, ending the match.

On various nights I've been crouching in the bushes on Endor or firing rocket salvoes on Ryloth.
IRL, I've played through the Battlefront 2 campaign on PC and Republic commando, but it doesn't stop the blasterfire in my sleep.

I am Angel and I dream of FS.

I am jealous.  I wish I dreamed about First Strike.

Re: Another FS dream the other night.

First Strike is still up there with the games I think most about my memories of playing and imagine myself walking through the maps.  It's still one of the first games I think of to reference when thinking about a game that defines me, or as a game I'd use of an example of how to make a game do teamwork well.

Re: Another FS dream the other night.

Huh, I randomly visit this site after several months and what do I see? A bunch of familiar faces? THIS must be a dream.

I still love FS and wish we could get something similar again. No, Battlefront 2015, go back to the corner.

Re: Another FS dream the other night.

Ain't that the truth?

Every time I fire up Battlefront I'm thinking how FS would have or did deal with that gameplay situation or Star Wars location better. Or how the visuals of the current Battlefront married to FS style gameplay would just be my dream game that I would be able to die happy after having played it. Literally just a few minutes ago I was still fielding questions from people regarding First Strike. How long has it been off-line now? Even with (or perhaps because of) a new official Star Wars Battlefront game doing the rounds people are still asking after this mythical Star Wars mod that was First Strike.

Oh, and because it has been a while since I've been on here probably haven't mentioned how we made another FS dream (or should that be nightmare?) come true, by having Twigs and myself meet in person for the first time during Star Wars Celebration Europe the other week. Weird knowing someone for that long, and then meeting for the first time. Surreal doesn't cover it.

Will have to do a FS review of the event on here at some point when we have time.
