First Strike is a Star Wars total conversion modification for Battlefield 2142. The goal of First Strike is to totally immerse the players into the amazing universe of Star Wars by presenting the most accurate representations of famous Star Wars locales, weapons, and characters, and combining them with exciting, fast paced gameplay and features new to the Battlefield scene. Within this mod you'll find yourself as a soldier of the Galactic Empire or as a freedom fighter for the Rebel Alliance. You'll fight across lovingly detailed recreations of various Star Wars locations with a wide array of weapons and vehicles.

With the Rebel Alliance growing stronger every day and the Empire spread thin as it is, it's no longer a battle of technological might, but simply a matter of who strikes first...

Features include:

  • Famous Star Wars battles
  • An extremely authentic atmosphere
  • Dozens of Star Wars weapons, vehicles, and soldiers
  • Space battles!
  • Online multiplayer for up to 64 people
  • Co-op & Singleplayer Bot support on a growing number of maps
  • Persistent stat tracking

Greetings Troopers!

In SFX magazine's latest Special Edition (#60: The A-Z of Sci-fi Movies), First Strike's very own TALON (Harold Withers) appears in a full page and a bit spread under the section for 'F' on Fanatics, in which he of course takes the time to plug First Strike.

Check out the article here, the interviewer did get a few of his facts wrong and misquoted me a few times, most crucially where he gives the impression that First Strike isn't even out yet, but it is still a fun article.

Catch the magazine which is still on sale at all good newsagents for a nice fresh slice of First Strike in print, there are some nice free gifts included too so go out and grab a copy.

I don't understand why you guys are still working on this mod when BF 2142 has long been dead along with this mod. Whenever I log on there is no one playing. I know about the weekend games but an active and popular mod should have persistent games going on all the time. We still also have no idea when Hoth will be released. I am sorry to say but this mod has long been dead and it would be best to stop wasting your time developing it for such and old engine since people hardly play it. I am telling you this for your own good. Hell the last full version was released almost 3 years ago. You shouldn't waste your time with this anymore. I suggest you port this mod to the Crytek 3, Unreal 3 or even Source engine where I guarantee you will receive much more exposure and even help making the mod. The BF2142 engine is outdated and unpopular so you really should consider moving onto another engine. Just a suggestion.

You make some very valid points, and First Strike is undeniably a project which is winding down, we have only a hand full of people on our dev team currently, and a lot of us are currently not in a position to commit as much time to the mod as we would like due to other life commitments. That said, we still have many exciting assets nearing completion to get out there. I'd rather the mod bow out with a bang rather than a whimper, and with some of the stuff currently being worked on we should be able to do that, just not as fast as you, or we, for that matter would like. We will get there though.

With regards to engines, this has been asked before, and while there are newer shinier engines out there, none are really capable of the size and scope of the maps we develop in the BF2142 engine. Unity might be a good option for its versatility, but porting everything over to, and learning a new engine would be highly time consuming to say the least, which is something we're already very short on.

With regards to releases, our last version of the installer was released in 2010, but our mod is capable of updating itself via the installer, so even though that was our last release, we have released content via the installer since then. That said, it has been a long while since we released any new content, and we hope to rectify that soon.

So, in its twilight years yes, but First Strike is certainly not dead yet.

Hi there Kimdaesang64, your best bet is to check out this article which covers most issues you might come across. Usual culprits are incorrect final version of BF2142 (you'd be surprised how many supposedly final versions of that game there were), and incorrect version of First Strike itself. Make sure you've downloaded the latest version (1.5) as that is a brand new install rather than an update of earlier versions.

Here's the link anyway.

If you still run into trouble after checking through this lot give us a shout and we'll try and sort you out.

Hmmm, I'm sure we used to have a fix for this one, but I can't remember the solution off hand and having trouble tracking it down. Will see what I can find.
