Same here. GC was a whole other level of gameplay even compared to bf 1942, I mean space battles with boarding action, massive vehicles that you could walk around in. It was really something.

I came as quickly as I could when I saw there was a mod for the new bf, if I remember correctly it was in development before 2142 was out, although I may be wrong.

Anyway I think the project has been getting better and imo like GC the best parts were the 'epic' ones. Like First strikes newest tatooine map they have included the sandcrawlers which act as a moving bastion around a huge map and the lambda shuttles which can hold a squad and more. It just insites the fighting together aspect and the fun that ensues is limitless. Simialarly I can remember how epic jabbas palace was on GC with the barges etc and I think if I can recall bobas vette was on there? Anyway FS is getting better and better and I literally can't wait for the hoth map to come out, hoth was probably my favourite part int he films and is always my favourite thing to play in sw games.

The only problem is the player base is a bit weak, I do hope though that the coupling of the release of the new patch and I think the release on steam? Will bring more 2142 players which wil eventually become intriguiged and awe struck at first strike, ha! I mean back when first strike was in the early stages there was always a full server and a half full backup server its sad to see any of their servers empty at any time tbh!

Welcome fellow GC'ers, and other new players!  Yes by all means let your fellow SW fans know about this Mod.  Here's hoping we'll get a decent crowd this weekend and keep it going from now on.

Indeed, the more the merrier. With each update we see a lot of folks return, some new servers spring up....and then it all dies away.

Admittedly, 2142 is an OLD game now. If people have any of the problems I experienced, then for many their DVD may be shot as well. I went through two disks over the years playing FS. Thankfully EA actually did something decent, I contacted them, explained the situation, gave them my CD keys and account details as proof....and they gave me a free online edition

I too would love to see a 64p server packed out again (nothing and I mean NOTHING beats Taloraan on a maxed out server. Most epic space battles EVER!) but the age of the game and peoples reluctance to try it out suggest its unlikely to happen.

On the other hand, we could just blame BlackIntel again!
