Freespace 2 SCP - Their Finest hour mission

[Ugli2006]

Oh, looks like the mission has been patched with the ships being beam freed.

[PawelTSW90]

Anyone knows what's the name of the music at 7:00?? Great video, Epic game!!

[TheMetalfreak360]

Is there any flight sims like this? I have played Freespace 1 & 2 and think they are totally epic!!!!

But I want to try a game that is close to this, but at the same time, is played with F-16 and thoose modern fighters, or like Spitfire in WW2, any time like that.

Do anybody know any games? :)

Plz reply!

[dthhavok110]

@TheMetalfreak360 Jame's WWII fighters....

[theelusiveone]

AWESOME!

[Kamfrenchie]

It always pissed me off that when you attack the sathanas they give you only 4 bomb and a loadout of tebuchet anti-bomber missiles... what the hell? I'm flying a bomber, I need bombs or at least rockets!

[Galimah]

Is it possible to play missions in this game as co-op? I loved that in X-wing alliance

[bigwhiteyeti]

@Galimah Yes, it certainly is.

[crazy88boss]

Hehe. This must have been before lightspeed created the new nebula graphics.

[MrLAYER2009]

what ship are you flying?

[bigwhiteyeti]

@MrLAYER2009 That'd be an Ares. It's like a Hercules Mk. 2 but far slower, and with even more missile capacity and armour. It's best used as a (barely) flying missile emplacement, lobbing Trebuchets at things from its bottomless magazines.

[TheFatAmericans1]

THOSE LASERS

THAT FLAK

[HATEDDYBEAR09]

why did the collosus have to die ;[

its so sad that was my favrite ship ill kill u shivan sluts >:P

[ajsknight]

"Command the Shivan Juggernaught is ripping our hull to pieces, ... we can't hold them out much longer" ...

Epic WIN!

or

in this case loss for the GTVA :P.

[Denirioed]

Just finished the game. If you'd asked me when it was created, i would have said 2008. Absolutely. Ruddy. Brilliant.

[Antionias]

Ahhhh...I remember the good old days where it took a good 150 'Fury' missles fired continuously to take down a single Shivan ship without being able to target the ship...GTVA technology really has made a drastic inprovement in everything. Kill time lowered from well over 5 minutes to a little under 20 seconds. XD

[proskillz89]

they need to make a freespace 3

[Leifthrasir]

@proskillz89 As much as I agree with you, the odds of seeing a Freespace 3 are pretty much zero. In the gamming industries eyes, space sims are ancient history and no one is willing to bring the genre back.

[Soarermad11]

@Leifthrasir Plenty of indie companies probably wanting to give it a go. I think with the time passed and the new generation of gamers and technology may be able to break the mold

[Zeeeeeek]

awesome gameplay :)

[IrishBagel07]

what does the SCP stand for

[Razaiel]

@IrishBagel07 Source Code Project

[Krogoth512]

I find Prometheus S + Trebuchet layout to be more useful for this mission.

[BloodMilitia]

You almost got fucked at 2:57

[routhoula]

HELP PEOPLE!!!! i know SCP is playable without the original game, the question is how. i downloaded the full pack from the home page but it does not run due to the missing game

[Falcon988]

You need to acquire the game itself :-p. It's available from the Good Old Games website for $5.

[Riptide572]

He's right, at one point I got the game working without an original copy... may have been a torrent or something though. I know for a fact you can't do it anymore.

[gezuuu]

I love this game! By the way the most dumbest and stupidest thing in space sim games, that isn't any sound you can hear in space:D:D because soundwaves can't spread in weightlessness. ROFLOL !

[GamingSponge]

They can spread in weightlessness, its vacuums that they cant spread through because of the total lack of air.

[XDKang]

I don't know if it's due to the video quality, but somehow it seems as though the Hull Integrity percentage indicator never seems to show up, even when ships blast into smithereens right in your face and you take on red lasers head-on. SCP be haxin'?

[UnstoppableBroly]

This game was waaay ahead of its time , its just epic , Colossus ... 20 Years of hard work ...

[56KbModem]

This is the best game in the history of mankind.

The storyline feels sooo real, and when the colossus went down i almost cried like a baby.

[ScreamingTc]

Was I the only one shouting "Nooooo" at the computer screen when the Colossus goes down?

[UCBANDIT009]

@ScreamingTc Yes cause youre screaming...tc

[legoman909]

what are those points at the sun??

[fifaplayer10]

80 other jugganaut class ships:/

[dealmaker007]

:( well that's not fair

[Dinyctis]

If I remember correctly, they are other Shivan ships. In the end they all shoot the Sun in that system or something, and make it go Supernova.

[kenjiro91]

hehe...nice memories from this mission :D. i got to destroy one of its front beam cannons be4 it took down the colossus ^^. nice vid :D probably the best game in the world :D

[hyprvypr]

Best video game ever created, any genre, any system, even current games. Nothing else comes close.

This sells for $40 used and $70 new. Today.

[LordLucka]

Hey I have SCP too - how can I enable that kind of warp?

[Leuthesius]

"We're given it all she's got captain! She can't take any more of this!"

"I'm a doctor not a ... oh, I'm a doctor."

"Colossus has been destroyed. Return to base."

"LoL."

[reya1928]

this is not the best flight sim ever.

this is the best game ever.

[Frankazami]

Amen to that!

[Josejuanmontoya]

Old man: "The Colossus has been destroyed."

Me: "SERIOUSLY?! No f***ing way!!! Oh mah gawd, od man! You are so freaking senile!!!

[knighthash]

the loss of the Colossus, such stressful missions i ate my fingernails off and almost broke the F**kin keyboard playing these, that kind of pressure made the game even more epic :). I was like "FIRE THE F***KIN CANNONS DAMN IT!!" lol..

[dodgedurango12345678]

where can i find this game i played and beat the first one ages ago i wanna get this one now i will buy it form eny one as long as it works

[ShadowGirliee]

you can get it at good old games(google it), for 6 dollar or so, dont forget to google for the Freespace Open Source Project too, makes the game way prettier

[maestro4202]

Classic games..I'm a proud winner of both FS campaigns and damn they were epic. About sound in space, sure particles may dissipate to the point where sound waves cannot travel but what about the moment after a ship explodes? All those gasses (including oxygen) would be dense enough to carry sound waves..at least very near the ship in the gasses.

[Libertford]

Yeah I often thought about that too but then I always came to the conclusion that the game would be less entertaining if you could only hear your messages... they have to keep our senses occupied! :P

[BlaseVonB]

love it!!!!! i am wating for the 3rd one for 10 years!!! i usually download games form net cos i have no time for play but if freespace 3 will out i will buy at least 3 licence :D just do the game please, x3 is not good i dont like trading and so on, tarr cronicles is worst than fs 2...

[Kesho88]

write a letter to the contact of the official site from volition, I did it right now, hoping to get their attention :D

[Gargantou]

Does anyone know any good space games that have truly DYNAMIC campaigns? Something like a Falcon 4.0 set in space?

[dunescyth]

unfortunately, the space sim genre is mostly dead... so there aren't any, really

but wing commander series had some pretty good mission progressions, and TIE Fighter is one hell of a game. Freelancer is also a pretty good space combat game. Wing Commander and TIE Fighter have very, very dated graphics though

[Gargantou]

Yeah, played all those to death :<

X3 is also a great game but it's more focused on trading etc.

Goddamnit, why do all these good sci-fi sim genres die out..

[Nowikn11]

i played on keyboard and i get all medals on very difficult, it's hard but possible. playing on keyboard or joystic is case of acustoming

[mrsoultwister]

Really awesome game. People don't make stuff like that now. It gives you the awesome feeling you're just one of many ships dicking around the infinite space trying to survive the fight. Game can be hard as fuck, it's really easy to die, but thre's nothing more stisfying than a complete mission. Sucks you need a joy or 20 fingers to operate the keyboard properly in real time.

[willd3rbeast]

The sound of those Beam cannons are EPIC among all videogame sound effects.

[rgollum]

Erinyes is my favourite ship class by far

[saitoexe]

Why not Erinyes? It would have been slightly faster.

[roxonogueira]

do i have to have freespace 2 installed before installing the open version? the open version is just an update or the full game?

[samo642]

Man, a chill went down my spine when i saw those sathanases around the sun.

[lukeskywalkerlol]

What a sad and tragic day for the GTVA.

[Sereryth]

I dreaded destroying the Shivan Cruisers at times; especially as close as you were at 3:00. Debris was deadly in that game.

[shivanSpS]

Well, the game looks very easier when someone you look at someone taht have played it a lot of times, and in this video, well, that ship is very slow 50m/s, that is just 5m/s faster than a ursa bomber :P

[typhoonbf2]

is game free now? i played it ages ago but sold it and want to play it again

[zanetusken]

its free if you want it to be free

[TheLegolasguy]

@shivanSpS Let me guess... did you have an Ares assult fighter?

[ColonelMarksman]

For a few seconds, I thought the player's ship wasn't moving until it dawned on me about the sheer vastness of space. Looking like you're not even moving as these massive ships do shooting a long continuous beams at you seems... rather frightening. I'm sure its a lot harder than it looks.

[ChosenChampion91]

I just need freespace 3

[warrat300]

in theory, since there is no gravity, a simple hit of a missile can deportate a 50.000.000 tonn to hell, just with the force of the push.

[jmm1233]

do you have to have the retial version of freespace 2 first before you can use the open source and mods ?

[AlabamaSoldier]

I want Freespace 2. I've squashed the Lucifer at least fifty times now! Time to move on.

Anyone know where I could get it?

[7ych0]

google for "FreeSpace 2 SCP". The have the game for free with enhanced graphics and includes a mod that also allows you to play FreeSpace and Silent Threat with the new graphics.

[AlabamaSoldier]

Awesome.

Thanks.

[craeyon]

This is all wrong! There is no air and therefore no sound in space!!!

[Kiwi2411]

True, but you must remember this is a Fictional game, no sound might make some people miss the explosions and shockwaves they could be hearing.

[jmm1233]

in actual fact space is not a vacum like old 20th centuary scientists thought , it is full of different particles , space is actually very dense in some places like nebulas and planets , it what you might call a transfer of sound , since space has particles in it that vibrate , it comes into contact with you hull of your space ship which will vibraate and vibrate the air inside your ship ,

[glenakatsr]

u just noticed , a game without sound wouldnt be very interesting would it?

[samo642]

Space DOES have particles sound can bounce off of

[dunescyth]

sound doesn't bounce off particles, sound IS bouncing particles

but anyways, there just aren't enough particles in space for sound, and there won't be, ever,

[shadowknight1701]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I have the retail version of FS2 and I have already installed on my computer and I would like to know how to get these awsome graphics!!! If you know how to help me please fell free to reply to me oh, and the one who made this video please help as well. Can you can please explain in STEPS because i not so good with computer stuff. I will be checking every hour for a reply someone please help me :)

[Repulverized]

These Graphs are called FSP2_Open you can downlad this with the Fred downlader you can find this easy by googling Free space 2 Open

[Litrid]

this is what star wars space combat should be like

[imperialpod]

No, star wars space combat should be like Rogue Leader but with.......

1- better controls

2- longer missions

3- pc based

4- OPEN SOURCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Litrid]

yeah your right.

[Litrid]

Best space game I ever played. the battles kept your blood boiling.

[XDKang]

Ah, all my good memories with my Windows 98 are coming back to me... I need to download the game again. Thank god Volition allows free distribution of it.

[Uchujinsan]

I think its more difficult to protect all lambda transporters in the last mission... never managed to do that -.-

Not that it really matters in this mission, but i just want to do my job as a pilot.

Hm... i think i need to upload the last mission somewhere, its in fact my favorite one :>

[XDKang]

Problem is, I keep dying on the last mission due to the explosion wave caused by the Capella star going supernova. How do I avoid that? I tried warping from the gate but the jump drives never seem to work...

[Uchujinsan]

Well, just be at in the center of the node 20s or so before the detonation, and jump out, that should work.

I think I had it once that I couldnt jump out the last few seconds, but I thought I was simply to late that time.

Worked perfectly everytime else.

[fifaplayer10]

you dont have to save the lamba transports. theres no point because they never make it to the jump node anyway. the supernova will happen at about 11 min into the mission

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

one never knows;) Still all the expansions are great thanx hoever made them possible;)

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

too fast? I can play it fine with my p4 and 7600 nvidea.

Great game! as good as tie figher if not better:D

[BrainSeepsOut]

do a barrel roll!

[blubbson]

I GOT EM IN MY SIGHTS

[SpinDizzyMR]

I loved this game, had such an atmosphere and eery feel to it. I've recently got the urge to play through it again, probably for the 10th time. Must go find that disk...

[PlanBSkater0207]

Amen to that....im on my third time through :P my aim is to actually escape the last explosion....although i assume thats impossible? either way its fun to try XD

[FenrPrkl]

It's almost impossible, but not quite. :)

[FenrPrkl]

Bah, morning tiredness. That was of course an answer to PlanBSkater0207's question about last mission.

[naznomarn]

Oh... it's possible. I've gone throught the game I don't know how many times now! It's so awesome.

[SpinDizzyMR]

I loved this game, had such an atmosphere and eery feel to it. I've recently got the urge to play through it again, probably for the 10th time. Must go find that disk...

[sulaiman51]

I wonder what would happen if you put the colossus invincible and the sathanas destroyed...the cheats I mean...did any of ya try it?

[PsyLight0150]

I did try that a while back. The colossus still dies anyway.

[ymirnicko]

yer these random red beams appear out of no where and shred the colossus, even if it is invincible

[sulaiman51]

ohhhh

[lxkillerxl]

no the ones u dmged ealryer was from the ship u already destoryed this one is one of the 32 that came out of no where

[CmdrAvan]

The unfair thing about the shivan battleships ist not even the firepower of their beams but their reloadtime. The terran beams are almost as strong as the shivans but need much more time to reload...they should fix that... ;)

[lvjetboy]

PC game developers are missing a huge market here. Endless earthbound FP shooters but little or no space flyers. No more Descent. No more Freespace. No more free from the chains of this planet. Just the same old me too rehash of multiplayer soldier themes. Sure I love Halflife xxx. But geez. When will developers get a clue and use the same inspiration in a space flyer setting?

Or better yet...both?

[becomingzero]

I'm with you on this one. Fs1 and2 were brilliant games and still shine by todays standards. The likes of rubbish lke freelancer can't come close. x2 & 3 are ok but imagine a game like that with a gritty engine like freespace. Maybe one day. Freespace 3 anyone?

[sulaiman51]

yush

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

id definetly buy Freespace 3!! (i buy all games if possible and afordable)

[PlanBSkater0207]

Too bad FS3 will never be :-( **hangs head in dissappointment**

[spywez]

I demand you upload a high rez version of this video somewhere.

[Erlkoenigg]

took you 10 years to build the damn thing, and ONE shivan ship blows it up, pretty crappy..

[Zoowey07]

dude, if youv played freespace 1 you know just how powerful ONE shivan ship can be, the luchufer came close to destroying earth and the collouses was already damaged from prevous battles so even tho it was a surprize when they destroyed it, it was bound to happen.

[Erlkoenigg]

ya but i figured the 12 beam cannons (assuming 6 to a side?) coulda taken it out, and didnt you disable the front cannons in an earlier mission?

just thought the colossus would be a wee bit tougher

[chspooky]

Don't forget, you disabled the front cannons of *one* Sathanas earlier on. Which the Colossus destroyed. This mission gives you a new, fully intact Sathanas to deal with. This mission is also the moment you realize just how utterly screwed the entire human race is.

[lepermunna]

yahuh this is one of the biggest "Oh Shi-" moments in PC gaming history!

[MrDialup]

The colossus was to be designed defeat a fleet of smaller ships. It has its guns spread all over it. The Sathanas had all its heavy firepower forward, making it ideal for launching a surprise attack straight out of hyperspace facing the enemy and engaging a single large target. It would be owned though if flanked or attacked from behind.

[Erlkoenigg]

ic, hmp, in my tactics i would of had a fleet of smaller ships providing covering fire for the Colussus, insuring that it was protected from small craft, and also to physically interpose themselves between any major threat and the colussus

[AidenPryde3025]

Not part of the story...

[Erlkoenigg]

yea i know, but....you know

[ymirnicko]

what kind of missiles are u firing at the cruisers and also are you using cheats

[seva809]

Freespace rulez!

[259]

Freespace 2 is intense! Never have I played a better space sim shooter.

[pppbigppp]

I never understand the logic behind this sacrifice.

Not jumping out to buy time? You mean like for grand total of 3 seconds?

[Asthaloth]

It's propoganda.

You died "saving the civilians" because lets face it, when you've just lost an entire battlefleet and a star system you need all the heroes you need.

[Leongkm2]

good game. i only have the demo so i only got up till the commander asks you to go on some secret mission. if any1 knows where to got the full version, pls tell me

[heiddie]

Go to w w w. hard-light . net, there you can get FS2, and a lot of really cool mods that some die hard fans are working on as well.

[skyline6373]

me too

[heiddie]

Best flight sim ever, why a 3rd installment was never made is still a mystery? Plus, seeing the Colossus was such a terrifying thing to see...but when you think you've prepared for just about anything, underestimating your enemy can be so humbling.

[Ugli2006]

Huh? This mission is edited right? The original had their ships beam freed (at t = 00:20) before they jumped in so those 3 can't fire (except the Collie, since she is already in system)?

[shivanSpS]

The Bastion where a decommised Orion-class destroyer, and retrofited whit meson bombs to colapse the Capela-Epsilon Pegasi jump node.

[nedlee1]

Yeah...really dramatic mission. I still remember the thrills I felt playing this game.

[Erlkoenigg]

so much for the uber ship of uberness.....hell, that thing was tiny compared to the juggernaut...whats the bastion?

[shivanSpS]

well, the idea was to atract the attention of the Shivan Fleet, so the Bastion can have a safer pass trought the system... so what attract more atention a bunch of molest fighters or a fleet? xD...

[HeliosExeunt]

If that's the case then why didn't the warships go full-on and use their beam cannons? That would've drawn more attention, wouldn't it?

[Erlkoenigg]

freighters? sorry, i havent played the game..but you need a FLEET for some freighters?

[HeliosExeunt]

...oh yeah, that too...Shivan freighters are stronger than their Terran and Vasudan counterparts, although I don't know to what extent. They do blow up very nicely, that's for sure.

[Interceptor3394]

well remember helios, even random alpha complained that their engagement wasnt much of a "Fleet"

[RaijinZERO]

damn... there goes over 20 years of work...

[HeliosExeunt]

The most annoying thing about this mission is the Colossus...because it's disabled! The mission brief didn't say anything about the engines being offline.

I also notice that on most occasions, the ships in the 'fleet' do not use their beam cannons.

It is very disheartening to see the Sathanas knock out the Colossus without taking any damage at all.

[henryhenriquez]

well it was very sad for me to see the colossus going down like that and knowing that i couldnt do anything was really disheartning

[firzenz]

if you used cheats...

[blackideas]

I heard that if you look inside the mission specs using the mission editor, you see that the Colossus was supposed to fly around for a dramatic fighting scene with the Sathanas. However Volition decided to disable the Colossus for some reason, but the path and curves is still in the file.

[shivanSpS]

I think it was supposed that the Ravana has to disable the Colossus, but if you check it, the Sath may not kill the Colossus if their are in some parts of that path... ANYWAY, is not a good reason at all, because that could be fixed.

[charlesbyrd86]

fcking shivans... god that mission was so sad

[larsendj]

best flight sim ever. yeh, i was pissed when i couldnt do anything to save the collosus.

[DoctorMobius]

Still brings a tear to my eye!

[sm753]

This was in my opinion the best space sim made to date...even better than the Wing Commander series...fighting an unwinnable war hopelessly outnumbered by your enemies...it's great, very well done.

[GhostRiderLSOV]

In Freespace and more so in Freespace 2, things went bad many times. But losing the Colossus really felt bad. A heavy blow to the player's morale too. You just felt helpless afterwards.

[joeben81]

Best flight sim ever. Either you know that or you have not played it.

[friezerdoc]

yeah i wonder why thry where 80 sj at the campela star

[gtvapsamtik]

Best game every !

[alpha249]

i really felt bad when the colossus died and it my fav ship

[mjacki]

God, I remember that moment. When I was playing the campaign for the first time. I remember how horrible I felt when the Colossus went down. Even being a game, and a great game I might add, I literally felt like crap about that mission the rest of the day.

[friezerdoc]

sweet video is that the newest version 3.6.9 cause i got some difficulties to install fs2 open maybe yo can help me install it.
