Remember, since this is also a beta, leave feedback like Mav did in his review, and I will be one happy modder.

Sweetness! I don't know when I'll get a chance to test, but these new weapons just rock.

Think, after this, all you have to do is make some maps

I saw this on filefront. I remember these sides, I loved them! But it's too bad you didn't make an actual custom map for them besides the stock Mygeeto.

New map or not the sides are awesome!

I'm very glad i could contribute just a little things to this amazing project. Tai, you're one hell of a modder, and especially moddeler. Well done, this is truelly too good to be true

Oh and hey, by the way, would anyone like to make a trailer/gameplay video for this?
I'm not the greatest at video editing, and my sound card unfortunately can't record sound.

Well, here is my review.
It is a very good sides mod for a beta (can't wait for full release) but as Mav' said, it is slightly favored towards the Cobalt Force. I played twice as the Marines and both times lost by about 30-40 reinforcements. However, despite this, I love the new sounds and voiceovers, and the work you did on the RPG was amazing! All in all, I can't wait for the release, as this is probably one of the best mods I have seen. Live long, and prosper.

Hm, are you guys sure about that Cobalt Force advantage?
Because I just played through it as Marines, and won by a margin of around 100 reinforcements.

Perhaps it's easier to use a run and gun strategy using Cobalt Force since the AK47 has a two shot kill, and the Mac10 has such low spread.
As a Marine you've gotta take cover, stay in cover, and use the strategy defined in the readme.
You'll get numerous kills if you use that strategy with any side, actually.

And keep in mind that the AI use a run and gun strategy unfortunately, so I suppose I can see where that cobalt force advantage comes into play.

Did I mention that various body positions are more accurate than others, and that a two to four shot burst firing pattern is recommended?

Sure, I'll make the video no problem. I'll upload it to the GameToast YouTube Group, so be sure to look later

EDIT:
Okay, the video's just finished uploading, though it's still processing, which will take mabye 10 minutes to be able to play after I post this. Here's the link. Oh yeah, my sound card doesn't record sound either for whatever reason, so I put in some music. Don't worry, it's not Linkin Park.

TIME TO EDIT THE EDIT:
The Cobalt Force does seem to have a bit of an advantage, though the Dragunov seems wildly inaccurate whether you're standing or crouching. I always win with whichever team I select, but Cobalt Force wins most of the time when I go into freecam and just watch them. Also, I agree, great job with the RPG, though mabye think about giving it just a hair of gravity (whatever you wanna call it).

I decided to reduce the accuracy of the dragunov to balance out its semi-automatic capability, otherwise it would be just too powerful.
Also, thanks for the video, it still hasn't been validated yet but I'll watch it when I come back from tennis.

Got it, and no problem. More videos = more views = more subscribers = more popularity = Honors, after all

Reinstalled BF2 to try it, and it was good! Nice to finally see my Mac-10 functional.

I liked the way the snipers were balanced, but the scope textures seemed too tall for their width.

I didn't notice any distinct advantage between teams.

I wouldn't say no to an assault rifle (maybe the first class on either team?) with burst fire.

Very good overall, nice work Taivyx!

man gotta love those AK-47's overall, very very nice mod. it has incredible potential. do you plan on making maps with these sides? anyways..the cobalt force's people are a bit buggy, like the arms look odd with shadows on, that headmsh thing can have some black gaps in it. (like when you look up or die sometimes) i would really enjoy custom heros for each side. oh and my #1 complaint (wait complaint? lol..) is the lack of FPS views. that would be really sweet to have those. otherwise, one of the funnest side mods ever! i couldn't stop pressing "restart match" its so fun
edit: oh, plan on any shotguns?

That's because I have a widescreen monitor, so while it's in the shape of a circle on my monitor, it would be an oval on standard ratio monitors.

Well, one of earliest versions of this sides test did have the M16, which had semi-auto and burst fire options.
But, after some heavy testing, I decided to go in favor of a fully automatic rifle, so I scrapped the M16 and released it.

Yep, or at least I'm planning on making the props for those maps, I dunno if I'm actually going to make the maps themselves.

obiboba3po wrote:i would really enjoy custom heros for each side.

I was thinking about adding a commander hero that could call in an airstrike, but I decided against it due to time limits.

obiboba3po wrote:oh and my #1 complaint (wait complaint? lol..) is the lack of FPS views. that would be really sweet to have those.

Yeah, well..... eh. If enough people really like FPS viewpoint better, I'll add it back in, but right now I just think everything looks so much better in 3rd person.

obiboba3po wrote:edit: oh, plan on any shotguns?

Unless I make a really close-quarters map, probably no.

yea i see your point about 3rd person. well anyways, even if its just a beta, its definitely a keeper

Hey, just wondering, is there are all the weapons in this, like the machine pistols, RPGs, and the M2 Rifle? Because I downloaded it and something came up in the 7-zip saying some file couldnt be recovered, and I dont see any of those weapons in this. Help?

I find it interesting how there is always some creative minds to transform a game into something that it orginally was not even close to be.
Star Wars is not very realistic, it's a fantasty world with many intriguing creatures and weapons. Still, you have managed (perhaps easily?) to turn this fantasy world into a modern combat scenario, with terrorists and marines fighting in a urban conflict (even if it's still in Mygeeto).

I always liked projects with concepts like this, I wish you good luck with your Terra Strife "mod" and hope to see more from you in the future.

I always thought the first beta was awsomeness squared , So the first time I get the chance, I'm definently going to download this !!!

I've set up a server by the way, it's called "Terra Strife Sides Beta 2 Multi"
Definitely join it and give it a try when you can.
