First Strike Mod Update

[Spawndemon]

The First Strike mod team is back today with a brief update on their mod and they have news of a hotfix that is on its way. Listen up:

We'd like to thank everyone for the huge turnout since the release, it has been quite a thrill to play on full servers. However, with the additional players comes additional strain on our website as the bandwidth is stretched. Over the past several days you may have witnessed some problems with the stats page, or the forums, or just the website in general, but there was a very good reason behind it, and today we have some excellent news to share with you: First Strike has a new sponsor!

Sponsored!
Shattered Planet has graciously decided to host our webserver following the succesful release of First Strike v1.2 What this means for you, our fans, is that our website (www.fsmod.com) will load much faster now that the strain has been eased by Shattered Planet's more robust server, and the problems with the stats page and forums should be resolved by now. Enjoy our speedy new website and feel free to stop by Shattered Planet's website to check out their stuff.

Hot Hotfixes on the Way
As some of you have undoubtedly noticed, there were some issues discovered in the v1.2 patch, but have no fear, a hotfix is on the way. We're testing fixes for some of the known issues right now, and we hope to have everything cleared up and a hotfix out to by this weekend. In the meantime, enjoy v1.2 and be sure to continue leaving us your feedback in the forums. Thanks for playing!

Ooh too bad, your missing a fun time in First Strike.

I haven't had that much realistic Star Wars themed play since playing Galaxies through SOE. First Strike Mod team did a great job with the music scores this release as well as all the maps weapons and just all around themed Star Wars maps and vehicles.

While playing on the larger Death Star map.. with a large amount of players, I did notice quite a bit of lag, however it was mostly due to the server and whatver fixes they are implementing for the weekend I'm sure will help out in this area.

One of the funniest comments I saw while in game was some one stating it was like being in an Alice cooper laser light show, lol

I persoanlly am having a fit of a time trying to balance out time between two great games simultaneously.. when Im one I want to be in the other.. one is this mod and the other BF Heroes.


If your any type of a Star Wars fan at all, and you dont have 2142 included in your bookshelf collection.. buy it just to play this mod.. its well worth the cost, which obviously the mod is free to play.

Re: First Strike Mod Update

There was a surprising amount of teamwork based players, made it way more fun than just running around on your own.
