Greetings troopers!

Despite the dwindling amount of news updates as of late, we are still very much alive, and working hard towards completing The Battle of Hoth and all our other maps currently in production. Unfortunately, in our quest to produce new content for the mod we put aside the task of maintaining the content already available to the public. So to address some of the bugs and problems that have cropped up over time, we're now releasing a small update, hopefully giving you a more enjoyable experience playing the mod. If you're interested, you can find the full changelog HERE. Credits go out to the BlackIntel community for providing a few of the fixes.

As always the First Strike launcher will automatically download and install the update, so all you need to do is open it up. Some of you might have noticed that the launcher has received a pair of updates in recent weeks. The first one fixed an unfortunate bug where after using the launcher, one would be unable to play vanilla 2142. This issue should now be resolved, and we're sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused. The other update, released just yesterday, allows users to manually select their Battlefield 2142 folder, should the launcher not find it. If you're having any trouble updating, installing, or using the launcher, you can try downloading the latest version in a zip file HERE. Simply unzip the archive wherever you like.

Hopefully from now on we can provide at least semi-regular game updates while also working towards our next big release. You might also want to stay tuned for more regular news updates, detailing our development progress and providing information on upcoming game events.

Upcoming First Strike event

Greetings Troopers!

Next Wednesday your training will be put to the test, in the biggest organized First Strike event yet! The INTER-CLAN WAR. The first event encompassing all of the best players in First Strike, the I-CW will be held at 10PM BST, 5PM EST on August 19th. BlackIntel has participated and helped to organize I-CWs for some of its other supported games, and is now looking to include First Strike as well. The rules are as follows.

There will be 2 maps played, one round on each map. Both teams will be randomized so it is pure luck of the draw on who you fight with. A larger delay time will be put into effect to allow teams to organize themselves before the game begins. These games are designed to be pretty short, and once they are over the server gets unlocked and anyone who wishes gets to jump into a public game to start telling their tales of victory.

As this is an organized and highly competitive event, there will be some ground rules participants must follow. Everyone playing must be in Ventrilo BEFORE entering the game so we can welcome everyone and give out the password to the server. The server WILL be locked, so being in Ventrilo is absolutely necessary. If you need help getting in Ventrilo, or you want to know the connection details, please go here: LINK.
In addition, despite the name, EVERYONE is invited, not just clan members. So, if you think you have the stuff, you'd better be there to prove it!

If this event is successful, I-CWs will be held at regular (and easier to manage) times. These games have proven to be a good way of getting players to interact with each other more, and are a good way to make sure everyone stays friendly.

Good luck and we will see you on the battlefield!
