If the Federation had a army, It would look like the British Red Coats.

Could you elaborate?

There are good points and bad.

Bad news is there are noticable bugs in many aspects of the game. There also seems to be a sprite/lag issue in space battles. Lighting needs tweeking. Voice needs to be added. model collision bugs with vehicles, and other small stuff

Good points are the models are well detailed, both vehicle and person. Guns look like the movies. Vehicles are funcional. Space battle dynamics and phyics are very well done. The maps are well made. Lastly, The pistol is freakin sweet!

I await a good and power server to host this and see if the lag is in the code or preformance. I also believe this mod will have a better run when the patches start rolling.

Over all in my opinion, I think i'll have a good playerbase for a few weeks and die out with the bugs. If the patch addresses it well, Then it has a future.

I gave the mod a quick try last night and found the same things as Eroak mentioned. I also couldn't find a populated server that wasn't full when I installed the mod (other than space combat which I found to be very dull), so I ended up logging into empty servers just to go sight seeing. I was impressed with the ambient noises as well as the blaster sounds.

I'll hold off passing judgment until after I played with my fellow TGers.

I just DL'ed it too... Will let you guys know what I find as well!

RedForman · 09-28-2007, 10:23 AM

AMG I need to get home.

**Azura** · 09-28-2007, 11:43 AM

I had a few installation problems with FT, and a few crashes every once in awhile when Im joining a server.
So far I do enjoy the game, the bugs arent too bad except I discovered on Endor, be careful near the crates and tree, you will get stuck and it'll ruin your day.
The map design is definitely well done. Varied open and closed, urban and outdoors will prove which SL got the best tactics.
My turn off is Space Combat, it is fun, but its very hard to stick with your squad, you barely can see one another except for targeting, and it feels more like a half blind frag fest, which still is fun. The selecting of weapons is kind of annoying, but it'll get better
Probably my favorite is the varied game modes, so far I like Endor (Push Map), my squadleader used two tactics on each cap. Sweep/Flank and Buckling thier line.

Very fun stuff! I just cant wait till TG gets all over it!!!
