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 installed it a couple of days ago, I was wondering what days and times most of you guys are on? Cause the maps are to large for the number of bots. I signed up for the campaign last night. Thanks

Welcome to the mod, and the campaign Meanoldrep. You'll find us on mostly at the weekend as Twigs mentions below, especially on Sunday evenings during the campaign. Though hopefully we'll soon have the numbers once more to be able to have players come on at random times and still be able to play the mod together whenever they want.

With regards to the bots, an increased number can really make things interesting, and certainly more challenging. The space maps in particular can get a bit mental with a higher bot presence, so that is worth looking into.

Well once again, welcome to the mod, and I look forward to seeing you out there.

We generally play at weekends, but both the Firststrike home site and rebel defiance site have dedicated threads to announce if you are heading on the servers. This can sometimes be enough to bring out another couple of players.

You can also increase the numbers of bots by editing one of the mods files. If you are unsure about doing this, I can increase the bots on the servers co-op maps to make it more challenging.

They sure do, there is single player and co-op bot support for a good number of the maps which gives a good and varied feel of what maps are available within the mod. Our server (Rebel Defiance) is currently running co-op maps so you can check them out, and then get all social when others join.

Yeah, what he said.

how many decently populated servers are there normally for this mod? Or is there a way to have both the mod and regular 2142 so I could just switch between them when ever?

If you install the mod you can still play regular 2142.
