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.

How do I play multiplayer maps in single player or how to get bots in them at least?

Question: Do I need to be online the first time I activate this, or can I launch and just go straight to single player? And second, do any of the vehicles use controls like the PAC hover tank in vanilla, because my computer that is able to handle BF2142 is not connected to the internet (don't ask me why), so I had to use a BF2 Control.con, so vehicles with controls like the hover tank won't work for me?

Hi there Legofude, you kinda need to be on-line to get the necessary updates to the launcher and the mod to get things bang up to date. If you're not interested in playing on-line you might be able to play it straight from the installation without doing the updates, I'm not sure off the top of my head. As I mentioned above if you're only after singleplayer go to the multiplayer, then local and co-op to gain access to bot supported maps.

TALON_UK, I downloaded the mod, and ran it offline the first time. Even with the no-cd fix that came with the 1.51 patch for vanilla, I still had to use the cd for this mod and had to launch it from the community tab, but then it worked fine with all the bot supported maps (haven't tried playing mp ones by myself yet). I was even able to customize the classes (I'm assuming this is because I changed my player rank in the profile folders (I knew I was never going to play online on this computer!)) so if possible, I suggest changing the mod description to say SP too, just so more people might download (in the case they can dooad but not play online games, or my extreme case.

Thanks for the update on how your installation went Legofude. We may well consider the description change you suggest now that we are getting the chance to give more singleplayer/co-op support to more maps.

You will need the cd because the mod is not able to update to the new .exe file since 1.51. You can correct this by a simple file rename though. Rebeldefiance.clanteam.com should have the information in the downloadable help file. If not, I can tell you how to do it.
