Welcome to the First Strike Community Games Report. Over the last few weeks as part of the run up to the release of version 1.2 we have been hosting a series of gaming events. On Friday evenings BF-NEWS.de have been hosting games for our European players, and the FSMod server has been hosting games for those of you States side on Saturdays. And I’m pleased to be able to tell you that they have been an overwhelming success.
With these servers running almost to capacity for the whole evening this gives us and you a great opportunity to see what this mod is really capable of. Promoting good teamwork and emulating the look and feel of the Star Wars Universes battles are key to what First Strike aims to achieve, not little skirmishes, but full blown intergalactic battles be that on land or in space.
Using Battlerecorder we have taken a number of shots from these epic battles that many of you took part in, and I think you can see for yourselves that the results are pretty spectacular. Here you will find battle scenes from all the current maps, Escape from Hoth, Tatooine Mos Espa, Encounter at Mos Entha, Endor Strike Team and Battle of Taloraan. But those found here are only the tip of the iceberg. Follow the link below to the Official First Strike Community Games Screenshot Gallery in the forums to find many more exciting shots from the Community Games.
In addition to this we also have more exciting news. The First Strike stats system is now fully operational. The FSMod server now records your stats whenever you play there, and by following this link you can see how you have fared so far in the rankings.
These stats are a preview of the system. All stats will be reset to 0 with the release of 1.2.
Escape from Hoth
Tatooine Mos Espa
Encounter at Mos Entha
Endor Strike Team
Battle of Taloraan
See you all again this weekend for more epic battles.
May the Force be with us.
looking absolutely sweet :D cnt even spell today
Hopefully the playerbase will expand when 1.2 is released and we won't be confined to weekends regarding major battles.
Indeed. This is the aim with the stacks of additional content and improved depth of gameplay. Hopefully a more stable release will mean that this time if people do try us out they will stick with us rather than just the core community of players that we have now.
That said we have seen an influx of quite a number of new players thanks to the community games. Like you say hopefully these new numbers will increase even more and give people the opportunity to play in many full to capacity servers across the globe. Anytime, anywhere.
Great work guys!The community games are a great way to meet lots of new players and experience the mod at it's best! :)
