First Strike it's a total conversion mod for the top ten game Battlefield 2 -actually is under developing.
"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 at various Star Wars locations and with all sorts of weapons and vehicles. One side will have to strike first, for that team will have the greatest advantage... or will it? The goal of First Strike is to immerse the players of Battlefield 2 into the amazing universe of Star Wars.
First Strike will feature an extremely authentic atmosphere.
Features include:
* Famous Star Wars Battles
* Dozens of Star Wars weapons, vehicles, and soldiers
* Space Battles!
* A very accurate depiction of the Star Wars Universe "

official forum: http://www.tpfclan.net/fsforums
more info directly from the official forum:
"Well we're going to make it more fun than the said games. Battlefront was good, but it didn't use all of its potential. There were problems with space combat. Also, the weapons weren't very diverse, as many classes had the same weapon but with a different name. We will fix this. Also we will include more weapons, more classes, and more vehicles. The maps will also be more authentic than in Battlefront. Also one of the main reasons Battlefront couldn't live up to its potential was the engine. The engine wasn't that great. Since we have the BF2 engine it'll look superb. One of the major problems of Battlefront was the map layout. The maps themselves were ok, but the vehicle distribution and the spawn point locations weren't so great. Also we don't want to focus too much on EU planets right now as we want to get the movie planets done, since those are the most important. I mean the majority clearly thinks that the movie planets are way more fun than the EU planets since you see them on screen and they feel more epic. We will include EU planets however, eventually. We also HAVE to include EU elements such as EU weapons, classes, etc. since the movies just aren't enough for that. But the main batch of maps will be based on the movies. However, don't expect any EU planets until we are done with the movie planets.
These are the maps that we are planning for. The maps in bold are the ones we are going to release first. The normal font maps, most of which are EU, are the ones we will release later.
Maps
Galactic Civil War
Tantive IV: Containment
Tatooine: Mos Eisley
Tatooine: Dune Sea
Yavin: Space
Death Star: Trench Run
Yavin: Massassi Temple
Correlia: Metropolis
Dantooine: Valleys
Hoth: Echo Base
Hoth: Space
Bespin: Tibanna Gas Platforms
Bespin: Cloud City
Kessel: Prisoner Facility
Sullust: Deception
Endor: Shield Generator
Endor: Space
And about the online servers thing. We have that figured out. We will probably use the TPF clan servers for the mod initially. And oh I expect a lot of people to be online as the mod is getting a lot of attention.
As you can see we have plenty of EU planets and battles, so the mod won't be focused entirely on movie elements."

If this is even close to as good as Galactic Conquest for BF1942 then I will be happy. Galactic Conquest showed that a good Star Wars war game could be made, and blows the Battlefront games out of the water in terms of pure awesomeness. So, here's a hoping First Strike is even BETTER!

I hope the mod is good. At least it'll finally give me a reason to reinstall BF2 in my PC (which currently isn't my cup of tea as it is, funny enough).

I think they already have one of those out..its called BattlefrontII.
You do realize that Punkbuster considers all mods as hacks and will ban your ass if you try to go into a server that isnt modded and you have this mod on. Also, when you get banned by PunkBuster, it bans your HARDWARE. It also prevents you from playing any online game that supports punkbuster. That's basically everygame out there.

DroidGeneral, how does that explain the dozens of dozens of Battlefield 2 mods in existance, and the fact that BF2 comes pre-requisite with both mod and community support built in?

You acknowledge that Battlefront was just a mod for Battlefield?

Yeah, and besides... you can always turn punkbuster  off...
But I have a ton of mods for BF1942, including the very awesome Galactic Conquest (Yes, I'm plugging it, DOWNLOAD!), and they all run on Punkbuster just fine.

Last time I turned PB off in a Battlefield game I got a virus. My computer-savvy friend verbally raped me for turning it off.

While GC was a good mod for BF1942, it quickly became boring and dated after Battlefront was released, IMO. The AT AT walkers in GC, for example, never did look good when compared to Battlefont games. The addition of Jedi heros to Battlefront 2 only made GC that much less attractive, IMO.

Are you doubting me? The dude put a mod on his computer, was testing stuff out in single player then decided to join a multiplayer game. He got BANNED as soon as he got in the server. I don't think the modded servers are ranked.

See, I'm the type of guy that takes gameplay over glitz and glamour any day. Heck, I beat Sonic 1&2 last night for who knows how many time... If a game is good, it never quite gets dated for me. I still get mad when I play Mega Man! lol
Anyways, I think GC had a nice learning curve where not everyone was a natural at it. While when I jumped on Battlefront 2, I get 78 kills and 2 Deaths... MY FIRST TIME PLAYING. Oh, and it was not luck, it kept on happening, scores like that. I got sick of it after a week. Now after all this time, I'm still only moderatly good at GC. I like how nobody can just jump in a X-wing and know how to fly. Piloting in GC is a skill to be learned. Shooting is not accurate, while Battlefront 2 was more "point, click, dead, repeat". The only thing I still have any fun with on Battlefront 2 is Jedi Battles. But heck, the GC comunity made maps for Skyhopper races, Speeder Bike races, AT-AT battles!!!
Graphics will never ever be a factor when I'm choosing games, I've fallen for the shiny stuff too many times to be fooled.

But how could there be a mod server, if everyone who touches it gets banned? Wouldn't the server not exist also?
Besides that's one person. Let me tell you, I am one person that has plenty of mods on punkbuster games, and they all work fine...
Are you sure you know the definition of what a mod is? Check this out:
ModDB
Battlefield 1942: 70 Mods
Battlefield 2: 118 Mods
The CoD series
Even Battlefront has a mod!
What do these games have in common? Punkbuster.
Now what i think you are talking about is a mod to the core game itself. Like if I decided to make a mod that changed all the skins for me in let's say Battlefront 2 so they were bright orange, then yes, I'd get banned. But let's say I took the engine and changed everything. Models, skins, music, textures and turned it into a WWII FPS, that plays nothing like Battlefront II. That's what's called a "Total Conversion Mod", and those are not banned.
First Strike is a "Total Conversion"

I can't wait for this mod. Lol, it'll be funny if I get more enjoyment out of this mod than Battlefront 2. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Battlfield 2 is a far superior game and it will be fun to see how it handles when it expands into the GFFA.
