The First Strike team posted up a awesome new update explaining in detail the progress of their next release for Battlefield 2142. Lets check it out:
Hi there troops!
This week we felt it was high time we filled you in on some further details regarding the next release of First Strike, including the actual release date, which we will come back to later. First off as the title of this news post suggests, we have done away with the initial idea of the next release being v1.35, this title brings to mind small additions to the mod such as minor tweaks to gameplay, graphics and content, where as we feel that what you'll be getting with this release is far much more than that and as such warrants the slightly grander title of 1.4, after all you'll be getting 3 new maps with this release, and although they are based off of the work of members from within the First Strike Community there is a surprising amount of brand new content within these maps over what was seen during the Beta test a while back, plus additional polish from members of the First Strike Dev team as well as the original mappers.
So just what is new to this release's maps when compared with their Beta incarnation?
The map with the most additions when compared to the Beta, Null Sensor Station has had a completely new base built for it by the original mapper Krenyo, who has now become a fully fledged member of the First Strike Dev Team. Explore the vast tank hangers, control rooms and sniper towers of this impressive installation, an experience sure not to disappoint. In addition graphical polish has been included such as brand new trees and foliage. This should prove to be a most exciting map come the next release.
Now did I forget something? Oh yeah, what is the answer to that second question?
"When's the next release of First Strike coming out?"
Well I'll put it to you this way, I'd clear some extra space in your stocking this year as I'd be expecting a nice gift from the First Strike Dev Team this Christmas.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
And don't forget that we still have Community Games running every Saturday, which we will continue with in the run up to this release. Enjoy the chance to play epic battles with high numbers of players and get that excellent First Strike gaming experience.
