I thought the space war was very original allthough i also thought it reminded me of a game that would have been in an arcade in 1981. The worse part is that there are no sounds in any of the maps of fellow soldiers talking ( making requests, spotting the enemy etc.) the only sounds in the game are the fighter engins and the guns/nades firing. i also noticed that the guns seem to all have their barrels bent. they shoot insanely inaccurate. maybe i need to play some more, maybe i missed something but the gragics looked totally un-detailed and the town buildings all looked the same. iv been playing a lot of battlefield 2 project reality lately so maybe i am just use to weapons that work and increadable grafics and buildings that can be destroyed. I think the first strike guys have a great idea and it is differant from any other mod i have played but i feel like i am going back to the atari days with the lack of detail in grafics. also, why do the soldiers run like someone in a silent fim???????

atari? lol if thats the case maybe its time for a little ol' upgrade hmm? wink . Either way , thats abit harsh dont you think?

Na, they arnt the best ,sure.. but you should realise that alot of our textures artists (and modellers etc for that matter) werent as good when they 1st joined. Alot of us have learnt whilst we made the mod. Everything in the mod is custom . In all honesty i havent seen a better looking full conversion mod as yet and we'll be improving the GFX over the coming monthes.
Comparing us to PRmod is basically comparing us to DICE cos PRmod is just bf2 with code changes (i love PRmod aswel btw) , which is a little unfair to the guys here on the mod.

I agree that the weapons are too inaccurate tho.

Bear in mind this is just the 1st release of many. This 1st one being an open beta basically.

PS. dunno what you're talkin about with the silent film running :S
PPS. Sounds are fine btw.  You have your VO's set to english only , thats why you dont hear any smile

You will not hear all the sounds if you ticked the english voices only in your setup.
When moving around you need to remain still for a couple of seconds to get accurate burst. This was added to prevent Bunny Hopping and Dolphing diving. Thus creating a more realistic enviroment. Give it a try.

Lack of detail could be your settings. Perfomance of First Strike is better then BF2142, so try and set your graphic settings to high or medium.

There are no buildings that can be destroyed yet. We have some work in progress on that.

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

thanks for the reply and the hints you guys. I am gonna try the suggestions. espessially the sound thing. The sound and communication between players in extremely inportant. one other thing i dint mention is that there is NO sniper class. to me and many others, that is the best class there has ever been. also, it would be nice if you all moved the cross hairs closer together because at long distance, it takes a lot of guesswork to hit something small. Maybe its just the maps i have been on but i havent seen any vegitation at all yet. Thats something that really hurts vanilla 2142 as far as i am concerned. QUESTION: when i turn off the english only button, will the voices still be in english???listning to german or russian will be useless to many people who play. also, in future releases, i hope you make it so a pilot can look around his cockpit. that would definately take away the arcade feel in space. also, it would be really nice and nessarry to have a zoom in the space ships..90% of the time, ya cant actually see the ship you are shooting at.

There isnt a sniper class per say, but the Assault class has a sniper rifle in his customization window.
When you turn off the english only button, the voices will all be in english yes smile Vegitation...well, there isnt any on the tatooine maps because there isnt an plants in nature on tatooine. Endor is the place to be for vegitation. In the fighters, if you are having trouble seeing enemies, make sure that A: you have pressed left alt(this will show icons on the 3dmap), and B: you can remove the cockpit altogether by pressing F9, or cycle through your camera views. Hope these tips help smile Thanks for the feedback

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

Voices are Without having played yet:

-Yes the voices are in English.

-For long distances you should zoom, not be using the crosshairs. You will also be more accurate this way.

-Ships should not have zoom imo...

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

Not actually the first time I've played FS but it is the first time I've played with a bunch of people and man, I don't know if it's just me but this is way more fun than BF2142. Not that the mod doesn't have its fair share of bugs and just plain issues that I have with the mod, but it still is a blast to play.

I do have to ask though (and hopefully the dev team can answer this) why some servers only have the first gun for each class available (whereas the Hypernia servers, for example, have all guns available)?
