First Strike Interview with Bf-news.de

[Spawndemon]

There is a new update posted today over at the First Strike mod website in the form of a new interview. Check it out:

The following is the transcript from an interview that The German EA Community Team had with members of the First Strike development team, and details on how to enter a First Strike Release Competition.

You thought there was nothing to do, but wait for the release of First Strike? Stick with us and join the big First Strike Release competition, presented by the FS Mod Team and BF-News.de! Guess what the release size of the client (in megabytes) will be and win one of five download-versions of BF2142. In addition, eight copies of the boosterpack Northern Strike (download) will be raffled!

You have no idea, how big this client could be? Then read through our interview! We sat down with the devs and pulled out every bit of information, we could get: Fighters, maps, history, gamemodes and much more was discussed and some of the information might surprise you. Will we meet at the Death Star? Read through and find out!

Can you already provide us a rough list of vehicles that will be pilotable? Will we be able to drive AT-AT/AT-ST or the mighty ISD?

Woodrow: AT-ST, Landpseeder, Speederbike, Probe droid, A-Wing, X-Wing, Y-Wing, B-Wing, TIE Fighter, TIE Bomber, TIE Interceptor, Gallofree, Bulk Freighter, Corvette, Lancer, Nebulon-B, Carrack, and that doesn't include stationary and deployable turrets.

Rybot: Unfortunately, we don't have a pilotable ISD at this time. It was pilotable for some internal testing and we discovered some problems that we have yet to work around. We will continue to work on it, but don't expect them to be flying around the map in the first release.

It will be released in September, we've been working in 6th gear for the last 6 weeks now and have gone through several hundred builds. I hope you'll enjoy the Mod, we sure are enjoying testing it :)

I'd also like to quickly point out that everything you see in the screenshots are of our current build and will be improved on by the release. We're perfectionists at heart.

bow chikka wauw wauw or what ever they say man i think the gameplay will be awesome :P

[solodude23]

Wow, I didn't know this mod could possibly get any better. Can't wait, and I guess I better buy 2142 asap! :p

Am I just cynical or does the final paragraph just serve to cover their as* in the event they release in an alpha-like state?

Your message to the waiting fans?

*xEROhOUR: *Remember this is a mod created by a non paid team who have really tried to deliver this conversion as professionally as possible for you in their spare time. We are still developing it so come release, just bare in mind we still have a long way to go to get it to the level we and more importantly YOU want.

To me that's screaming one thing - we tried, don't hate us if its buggy and doesn't deliver. Just like every single other hyped mod out for BF2/2142.

Shot yourselves in the foot with that last statement methinks.

You are being too cynical. :) Im just dumbing it down so when and if you do download it it will hopefully blow you away! (hopefully)

I think your Reading FAR to much into it.

granted since it is a mod we as developers Expect YOU the public to give us a certain degree of leaniency (spelling?) with reguard to any bugs or possible problems that become apparent on release, Even more so as this is the Very first release.

However this does not mean that the mod is in a state of dis-repair lol, and even if there are bugs, release 1 is not the first and last release, it's simply the first of many and bugs get fixed in time.

I remember back in the GC days we released with a Terrible release because public demand for a release was so high, and MANY people even 2 years later after GC became quite a polished mod, Still thought we only had 1 map even though we had 10+, simply because they hadn't bothered to check out the later releases.

so even if the first release does not meet your personal standards (im sure it will though), be sure to keep an eye out for it anyway, as this is only the first release.
