I know it has already been stated you guys are reaching for a good authentic feel for First Strike, but none-the-less I would like to have my say. I don't think I could have any more possible faith in this mod.

As much as I loved GC, there was always one thing it lacked for me (in a way). While it was authentic simply because of the fantastic maps, vehicles, characters, weapons, etc. that all immersed me into the origonal Star Wars triolgy, it wasn't quite up to par from a gameplay perspective. Don't get me wrong, I loved the gameplay. But like I said it wasn't wuite enough when it came to representing the movies.

I'll use the all famous map of Hoth for example. While this map was purely cool in GC for it being in the movies, it didn't quite play out the same, at least not in conquest mode. It is meant to be a large assault on the Rebel base, but not in conquest mode its not. With conquest, it still played out as if there was no specific target. Imperials would capture the shield generator, rebels would cap back. Imperials capture the Rebel base, but that didn't make any difference as long as the Rebels still had enough other outposts. They could even go out and capture the fallen AT-AT after the Imperials had. Imperials can destroy the shield generator and capture it but Rebels could always just get it back. I could go on and on but I will leave it at that.

No way is that how it should be played. That was always an immersion killer for me and ruined much of the expirience. I am just using that map as an example, and I am hoping many of the FS maps will play out in a more authentic manner reflecting that of the movies. Could be done in more than one way I know, I am just hoping this is what the FS team is aiming for.

On a sidenote, glad to hear the GC team has joined the FS team. Who knows what amazing things could happen now. I will be buying 2142 purely for this mod.
