Best...space...combat...sim...EVER. Over a decade later, no space combat game has come close to Freespace 2. I wish someone would remake this from the ground up, with a modern engine. Id buy 2 copies on principal.
This video is of SCP version 3.6.9 which is now long outdated. 3.6.10 has since been officially released and the graphics have been greatly increased in quality once again.
I am so glad I got a better graphics card to play this version! It's like playing a whole new game almost! Plus, this is a game that will never get old with me! I will play it for as long as I shall live!
This looks absolutely amazing. I haven't played FS2 since 2002 and I've wanted to get back into it recently. I think it's a damn shame the Space Combat Sim genre has vanished. We should demand a FS3!
Call in resupply early and time it so that you reload between those 30 second helios rearm time. Also, try to lock on to the next cannon whilst reloading. Once you have that down you can try and do it one handed (for the cocktail)
You have to use double fire on your missiles for a start. Also, use the support ship re-arming time to lock on to the next beam cannon. You have enough time to fully re-arm twice this way. Use your squad mates to cover you from the Basilisks. Eventually you will be able to do it one handed leaving your other hand free for the cocktail sipping. My next target is do it whilst reading from the book of Ezekial.
man, this would be an awsome MMO. Fighting for territory, pilotable cap ships, and i love the flight interface, kind of an Arcade feel. especially the energy managment. Freelancer ALMOST did it. But the scaling was retarded and it was made to be a budget game.... sigh, maybe someday...
Whatever it is you're smoking... stop it. It's not similar at ALL. Except that it is in space. In that sense, it's similar to the SpaceQuest-games too!
It is a thing of beauty...but it bugged my in game colossus turrets to be useless, and the sathanas/ravana i think are both supercap flagged so you cant kill them without a colossus beam. Thems is the breaks.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fs2 is requires absolutly no skill to kill someone. you have a harpoon or tornados, and there gone. in fs1, the missiles sucked, so you either developed a sense of fighting or you died. plus the fs1 ai are so much better then the fs2 ai
thats not at all what im talking about. im talking about how most of the players on fs2 rely on missles to do there killing. and very few actually know how to use the guns. those who think there good usually over kill with 8 kaisers so its a 1 shot kill. !!! wheres the skill in that. "o i hit a guy and killed em"
very impressive now lets see if your good with MANY SHOTS, i bet most of these guys shots would miss.
very nice video it really brings out the dogfighting and raw power of the wepons of the game and i hate it when i get by the beam cannon for anti capitol ships beams
i swear in fs1 the graphics are good, but in fs2 i swear they get worse in the same resolution as fs1. without the scp mod. but ya, fs1 and fs2 rule!!
what does that SCP stand for? those graphics looked better than mine so I figure that has something to do with it. either way I'm jealous and probably will do everything humanly possible to get it like that on my comp
god i wish i could install this game on my 64 bit system =(. The cd-roms call to me everyday. "Install me fresh-k! Please, do it for the poor flak gunners."
Agreed. To this date, nothing will ever beat it. Personally, i dont think anything ever will. There are an elite few of us who can play this game and appreciate the sheer scale of it.
My god, I absolutely love this game... Well I can't say that cuz I haven't played it yet, but I played the first one and at that time, it was GODLY! Considering the fact that this is better, it must like surpass gaming perfection. Hopefully my dad will buy it for me tomorrow!
its actualy freespace 1 "the great war" and another part of 1 "silent threat" and then 2 dose any one even play silent threat? I DO!! lolgo me ya ok back to the topic.... there all great games! PLAY OR DIE! thats an order pilot!
no, its not, the Perseus intercepter was introduced right before the Second Great War , the Ares after the beginning, PHT and beam weapons after Silent Threat had already sold out!
What shines in Freespace is really its game play and intense and fun combat engine. X3 is a good game but terrible implementation of combat is pretty much a huge letdown.
I remember my older brother having this game ages ago...looks awesome still

hm... 54.5 accuracy with primary weapons.. could be worse.
Well I basically disagree with FS2 missiles being far superior - the best missile imho in FS2 is still the Tempest, the Fury equivalent.
It allows to combine high speed and manouverability (intercepter/space superiority) or a bomber with heavy fire power.
However, the guided missiles and special missiles are no longer useless in FS2 as they were in FS1
