Topic: New FS server

Hello all. I just recently opened a new FS server running 1.5r. I was hoping some of you would assist me in testing the server before 1.2 hits. Not having played FS before, I set things up as best as I could but would appreciate any comments/suggestions, especially with regards to ticket counts and unlocks. I would like to set them up the same as 2142/BF2 in that when you rank up you unlock a new weapon (is that possible)?

Here is our server:

Re: New FS server

First up, hi, and welcome to the First Strike Community, new servers are always welcome. Now on to you questions.


No, there are no unlocks as such in First Strike, there are gadgets that can only be unlocked when you are in a squad to help promote teamwork, but that's about it. You have a selection of weapons you can choose from for each class but these are all freely available no matter what your rank, the ranking system has no effect in game whatsoever, you just get stats and rankings which can be viewed on this website. Hope that clears things up for you.

Re: New FS server

Hey bud, thanks for the server. I'm in Ireland so I'll only be on it when I'm shooting at yanks on those nights I can't/won't sleep.

Dunno what options you have for map rotation, but it would be great if you had 64 player and 16 player versions of the maps on- then if there was only a few players online, they could map vote for the smaller and vice versa.

Make sure you set the server to allow unlocks- otherwise all the kit we use will not be available.
For example- the missile launcher is an 'alt kit' of the heavy class- if unlocks are off the teams will have no dedicated anti-tank.

Ditto snipers, mortars and shotgun whores wink

Re: New FS server

So there's basically an on/off for the unlocks? If so, I have everything unlocked.
