he wrote that wrong on purpose, right?

I hope so :s

The reason I have a problem with errors such as this is because what is this supposed to say to people who come to learn about this mod?

"Let the game/gameplay speak for itself!" one might say.  However, what does this say to someone who, like myself, comes for a visit to learn about the mod? 

I don't really care, and it's not a big deal, it's just that it makes the person who made that video/are in charge of this not so bright.

I look forward to playing this, and next time I find a typo I'll just msg somebody smile

I agree with you 100%, actually.  I'd say in this case it was just the fact that we wanted to get a news post out quickly and Imperial has a lot of stuff on his plate and shouldn't need to be doing video production.

Anyway, no excuse for bad copywriting, for sure.

Re: Um...typo in your little promo vid

@the guy who said something about typo thread...

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or whatnot, so meh...

I haven't had time to play yet, but I look very forward to it because it looks badass.

I've been around star wars games since around '95 (I'm really not a nerd though...just something in my spare time) and play JKA: Movie Battles II regularly--but this looks awesome.

This game actually isn't really like JKA at all...http://www.moviebattles.com is the site--check it out if you want.

I'll write back once I play the game smile

Re: Um...typo in your little promo vid

I don't mean to be a prick, but I found another typo/error :s

Gallery Page:

"Some are still work in progress and some have been finished and ingame."

Correction: "work" should be "works"; there should be a comma after "progress" (there's a new subject [some]); and there should be an "are" before "ingame."

"Not all the Models below will make it in for a first release but in time we hope to see them all ingame."

Correction: There should be a comma after "release" because you're basically starting a new (oh, what's the word?)... There's a new subject, therefore you need a comma before the conjunction.

"As you can see our level of detail and authenticity is high."

Correction: There should be a comma after "As you can see."

"Should you feel the need to copy any of the images on here for your website please be gracious and place our web address at the bottom by way of a reference."

Correction: There should be a comma after "website."

=========================

Game Features Page:

"So what classes can you expect to play in FirstStrike?"

Correction: There should be a comma after "So."

"For the Rebels expect to see the following, please remember that different enviroments will mean differing uniforms and species."

Correction: There should be a comma after "Rebels."  Instead of a comma after following, there should be a semi-colon( ; ).

I'm going to stop here...way too many.

Sorry, just trying to help.

Re: Um...typo in your little promo vid

The typo in the vid is my fault.  As canadiens said, I just kind of rushed it out to try and get some publicity for the mod.  Really 9/10 people aren't going to notice a little quick spelling mistake like that anyhow.  If it was a huge deal I'd redo the vid, however I really don't think it's incredibly important and my time is better off focused elsewhere.

However, if you don't like typos, you're going to go nuts when you get in game.  90% of the stuff is full of typos and grammatical issues because the person who originally wrote it all up was not natively English speaking.  That will all be fixed in the next patch of course, but the Dev team was extremely rushed to meet the deadline they set for the release and gameplay was a much larger priority than spelling.  The first patch was again rushed to attempt to fix the crashing bugs and really isn't much beyond what probably should've been released the first time around.
