Public Release of First Strike Models news

After porting the GCW models from the Freespace 2 mod to Game friendly formats), MichaelEGA offered to do the same for First Strike. I would love to see First Strike recreated in a new game engine, but I would also be happy to see the models reused and all this love not gone to waste.

You are free to use the models provided the First Strike Development Team is credited, you don't sell them, use them in a commercial project, or claim they are your work. Also, if you do use the models please share. I would love to see screenshots.

Sadly, there are just too many issues with trying to continue First Strike as a Battlefield 2142 mod:

- Battlefield 2142 (BF2142) was never as popular as Battlefield 2(BF2) and there was always the struggle to populate servers outside of planned events.
- With EA no longer selling BF2142, it would be extremely difficult to recruit new players.
- Unlike Battlefield 2, DICE designed BF2142 to be an online only game, and relies on the Reclamation master account server which forces First Strike to rely on the future of the Reclamation master account server.
- The kit variants did not work with an offline account, which severely restricted the use of available weapons. The recent BF2142 unlocker should be able to fix this issue, but with all the other issues, it just was something else that had to be tested.
- First Strike's Extra Officer kit turned out to be problematic with the Reclamation master account server and caused instability issues.
- The AT-AT Game breaking problems proved to be insurmountable and Hoth could never be delivered as intended. (The game was not designed for Mechs the size of the AT-AT and it would bounce off the map when it collided with anything). The AT-AT could possibly be re-engineered like the AT-AT in the Battlefield 1942 mod to where the legs are on rotation bundles and it fakes walking, but to not have it walk like a true mech would be dissapointing and underwhelming

Included:
- Individual fbx and texture files (converted from dds to png) for each model
