Re: so first strike 1.2 is coming out this month, eh?

You missed out dude. I don't think I've ever spent so much time on any online game, let alone a mod.  It well and truly shat all over the Battlefront games (I only speak in past-tense as I don't play it anymore, but I know there's still a hardcore contingent out there that still gets together for matches).

There's no reason why FS couldn't better GC, eventually.  And in terms of what they've already done on the space maps, they already have in many respects, particularly in terms of flight control, graphics and animation, even though the objectives themselves are still a bit rough round the edges.

I dunno maybe its the engine.  I just played GC and then FS.  Seems GC has a much higher view distance and the shooting is better, more star wars feel to it, and you actually hit where the crosshair is, unlike FS.  I'm talking about at range.  Space battles on FS are awesome and the sole reason I play the mod.

Re: so first strike 1.2 is coming out this month, eh?

I can agree with you there, the infantry combat in GC is far better than FS's lacking arcadish sprayfest.

imo the FS infantry combat is closer to Battlefront than, well a game I would like to play... but I still play it, because its Star Wars. Hopefully, one day, the weapons will be rebalanced. But thats just my opinion.

As for Omen saying GC's current Hoth is not as good as Ryloth, well I cannot disagree more. But that's as far as I am going in that direction. FS has some great maps and I am sure everyone will have their own favorites.

TY, you're part of the 10% of the testing team that doesn't like ryloth...

I also thought the weapons in FS are much better and I believe it has a much more realistic feel to it.

10% so theres more than one that dont like ryloth after the bold statement that it was better than gc's hoth, lol lol lol never gonna happen. the only way you will produce a better map than that is if you do hoth the justice it deserves

When we do Hoth, it will be better than GC's, that's for sure.

But that's just because the 2142 engine is a lot better than the 1942 one in ways that will make FS Hoth far better in every way.
