Topic: FirstStrike better hurry and launch

Basically...

This is just a mod for 2142...  lets look back a little... this mod was originally for BF2, but along came 2142, so that was scrapped before giving anybody anything, a demo , or a beta. Now a lot of ppl are patiently awaiting its release... so technology is improving all around us and we are forced to buy new rigs... And now we have the most incredible game out right now (well its out in may in the US officially), Armed Assault... a first person tactical simulation (Part BF2, Part Americas Army, with a smidgen of COD)... This game is what BF2 should have been, with graphics 10 times better than Bf2's. So what im getting at is, with the increase in technology, software and hardware ie. direct x 10, new graphics cards to support it.. the people that have been waiting for this mod are gonna be long gone as these graphics are gonna seem bleak in comparison. I'm not trying to sell AA, cause i am starwars fan,  im just merely stating a fact and using it as an example. People do move on. So best of luck to the team, i just dont wanna see you guys lose yer fanbase to newer technology.. and i am also very interested in seeing this mod see the light of day soon. I also hope EA doesnt release another expansion of BF2 that will make you guys put 2142 on the sidelines also, to get ready for "BF2- 2142 Assault" with Direct  x 10 support.

So like i said before... hurry and launch.

I wouldn't exactly call these graphics 10 times BF2: http://www.fpsteam.it/img2005/armed_ass … ult_10.jpg

Now these on the other hand:

And that game has been postponed to the fiscal 2008...

Thanks for the encouragement though, and we'll be doing our best to release asap smile

Ehh.. Doesn't look much better than Battlefield 1942... 

The view distance looks nice in the screenshots though.. I wonder if it will actually run multiplayer like that..

It all looks like rubbish to me.  But if you want the latest info on where the mod stands you should spend time in the IRC channel.  we constantly discuss the state of the game with our fans in there (as well as release exclusive screenshots, images, and information you won't get on the forums or news releases)

Re: FirstStrike better hurry and launch

AA had something like a 20x20 km map without any fog, so in that aspect it's pretty big.

Hehe that http://www.fpsteam.it/img2005/armed_ass … ult_10.jpg ...looks worse that BFV!

Quakewars looks very similar to bf2142.


As for the post... I'll probably lock it soon.

Re: FirstStrike better hurry and launch

uhm go tell that to the FH2 team, and then come back
or any other full conversion for that matter.
im no code gun, but Dx10 support need to be build into the engine, and that just aint the case.
hell if it where up to me i would kick the whole team to the crysis engine. but i cant.
the facts? oke this will be the best SW game in FPS there ever was. even if its only a mod.
if you dont want to wait for it, go play your (kinda crappy) AA
