GREETINGS TROOPERS!
Well it has been a long time coming, but it gives us great pleasure to be able to announce the release of First Strike 1.6 at long last. The content itself will be available through automatic update through the First Strike Launcher, but in addition to that new content we also have a new launcher for you to try which you can link to here:
UPDATE:
FS Launcher Installers updated to fix a number of issues including allowing people to install it wherever they want. The Launcher itself will automatically update itself with the hotfixes we've rolled out this week to address other issues which have been raised since the launch of 1.6. Enjoy.
Later on we'll also release a full First Strike 1.6 installer for those who wish to install this from scratch rather than updating from First Strike 1.55. So just to clarify, you can now update to FS 1.6 from an existing copy of FS 1.55 via the launcher. The file linked to above is just the new First Strike Launcher, and not the whole mod, you'll need a copy of FS 1.55 in addition to this to play the mod. A full First Strike 1.6 installer will be available in a day or two.
We hope you enjoy these improvements, and look forward to seeing you all on the servers soon.

Changelog?
We banged the thing out as soon as it was ready, we'll draw up a changelog and add that to the news post at some point today.
v1.6 Changelog added.
crashing on startup every time
oh wait nvm I just had to re-enable the widescreen setting
I fear this mod came too late to save this beautiful game :(
and its all ur fault TALON
I hope u get nightmares from this lolz
Heh, this mod has been out for years, check the initial release date. Though we have taken rather a long time to get this latest update out. I hope you enjoy.
Surrounded by "you chose epithet" eh?
Is there a way to download 1.5 and 1.6 together? The torrent is down for 1.5, and 1.6 will take forever to download from ModDB.
There will be a full 1.6 installer released shortly. However if you have FS 1.5 use the launcher to auto update, this will download and install 1.55 and then 1.6 for you and you'll be good to go.
is this finally compatible with the origin version?
Has been for a long time, just needed a tweak to a certain file to make it so. But as I've mentioned before, the new launcher sorts it so you no longer need to manually tweak any files to make it compatible.
Just wish I could figure out how to make it work on the origin version.
Sorry you're having trouble Scripty, we have covered it multiple times in the comments, but check out Twigs' video on how to install the mod, that should make things clear and help you out.
Great work guys! Awesome stuff as always ;P
No server...thats very bad :(
two servers last time I looked. Check your server settings in game, make sure you select the centre tab (FirstStrike servers) and that along the bottom, only same mod and same version are ticked, then hit refresh.
UPDATE:
FS Launcher Installers updated to fix a number of issues including allowing people to install it wherever they want. The Launcher itself will automatically update itself with the hotfixes we've rolled out this week to address other issues which have been raised since the launch of 1.6. Enjoy.

Its TOO damn difficult!! Oo What have you done to the AI? It's kinda Radar-AI! They see everything, they HIT everything, they are impossible to defeat! How can i change it? I've already tried to fix it in the AI files...but somehow it doesnt work.
