"Following your successful adventures from Hard Target 2, you have once again been chosen to be the first to infiltrate and clear out an upcoming target. Not a simple task, nor was the last one. Word has it that the Strogg has wind of an upcoming invasion and are readying themselves. It is up to you to sneak your way in and knock out their defense forces and get out in one piece. Time to earn another medal. But enough talk.Talk is cheap, but bullets are cheaper. It is time to give that trigger finger some exercise." ~Scott McNutt

Much more than exercise here, Scott McNutt will give you a full fledged work out with his excellent level entitled "First Strike".

Selected as the winning entry in QERad's level design contest, "First Strike" is an excellent showcase of the kind of talent that is cropping up at an increasing pace. (The only drawback to this creative explosion is that these talented level designers are being snapped up fast!)

The plot is simple yet effective. Kill anything that moves and then get out alive. It's the actual doing that is a bit complicated.

Ammo, powerups and health are here in abundance. Half the fun is just scurrying about and filling your pack with all you can carry, and there is plenty to grab. You will most likely not be able to use all the goodies you encounter. Aaah, but don't be fooled my friend. Because where there is an abundance of life sustaining goodies, there is also an abundance of death wielding Strogg. And this level is no exception. You will find yourself facing Strogg in abundance and almost always in groups. Think one berserker is tough in close quarters? Try two. And watch your back as you encounter a single strogg, it is most certainly an ambush!

Whew...if you like 'em packed with combat, "First Strike" is for you.

| Aggressive, tough combat.
| Mazaphobics beware. Contains a maze like section.
| Beautiful seamless build in the Id tradition with great combat situations.

Another guard blocks your way in a crate and boxed filled hallway in "First Strike".

Helping to clean the fetid air, this giant fan works overtime.

Looks like some sort of laser beam worshipping cult...
