Greetings Troopers!
Now that the dust has settled since the release of 1.5 we have seen an influx of brand new players to the mod with many people trying it out and stating that it is one of the best mods they've ever played, with the addition of new maps and gameplay balance tweaks, and of course the addition of singleplayer and co-op gameplay going down a storm.
One issue however still remains. When are people on? New players main problem is finding a time when other people are playing so that they can enjoy a well populated game of First Strike.
With that in mind we've thrown up this post to remind you and encourage all First Strike players to get on-line this weekend at 20:00 BST (this equals GMT+1 which converts to 19:00 GMT, 21:00 CET, 14:00 EST, 12:00 PST ) for the Community Games held on Saturdays & Sundays at this time, this coming weekend, and all weekends to come. Lets get some good numbers on this weekend and show what this mod is really capable of.
This event will take place on the Black Intel server.
See you out there.
Thanks chaps! Will join.
I think I'll join it too!
Should be kicking off any time now. See you out there.
What time will it be for someone who lives in Michigan, America?
Well it kicked off about two hours ago, pretty much done and dusted now though, pretty disapointing turn out actually. A few people tried to join who seemed to have connection problems. If you post here and let us know your PC spec we might be able to nail down what your problem was, or head to the client support thread over on www.fsmod.com and someone maybe able to help you sort out whatever your issue was.
Either way we'll be about at a similar time on Sat & Sun next weekend too, so bob on and try it out. People also tend to play at around this time on week nights too, but the weekend is your best bet to find people on.
Just a quick reminder to people who might want to attend the Community Games that the time in the UK has changed back to GMT now, (the clocks went back for us last night) which means that from now on the Community Games will be held at 8pm GMT rather than BST.
In the simplest terms this means that the event will now occur an hour later than before. So this translates as 22:00 CET, 15:00 EST, 13:00 PST. Hope that is clear enough, and I look forward to seeing some of you around later tonight. just about 4.5 hours from now if you require further clarification.
See you out there.
ill be there for sure
Jumping on the server now, lets see if we can get some decent games going this week.
