Freespace 2

Hello I made a video of Freespace 2 trying to show how it is still the best space combat game available today. I find it amazing that no game since 1998 has been able to top it.

Dont worry there's no emo music anywhere on this video.

I'm currently playing Freelancer (again) - That's later I love these type of games - however haven't really played Freespace 2... Or at least can not remember I did.

Yeah it is space combat. I personally do not like the idea of trade and economey, but even the games that focus on those (x, eve) handle the combat quite badly in my opinion., I think my video portrays the intensity of combat quite well.

It isn't a free roaming type of game. It tells a (very good) story through a series of missions. The combat isn't based on a realistic model.

EDIT:

That reminds me...this uses the Freespace engine

I'm waiting for Jumpgate Evolution myself. I highly enjoyed Freelancer multiplayer and I played through a good bit of FS2 single-player. I should try a coop mission or three in FS2 sometime.

I wish somebody would make a sensitivity curve setting for FS2 though, I always feel I'm jerking the stick around the middle to do fine aiming.

I love the modding communities that spawn from some games over time, since it essentially breathes new life in older games, you've otherwise have "worn out".
