  • anyone know how i can uninvert the mouse controls, i cant stand inverted controls.

  • PLEASE! Can someone tell me the name of this song ??

    "Ayreon" it's not very precise...

  • PLEASE! Can someone tell me the name of this song ??

    "Ayreon" it's not very precise...

  • FUCK YEA AYREON!

  • some effects are copyed from Tachyon :(

  • 1999? And graphic looks still vey good.Damn in that year it would blown my mind(guess graphic patches came out too but anyway).2bad I didnt meet the game.

  • What is the name of this song??

  • Ayreon lol

  • I have to say even now the graphics hold up fairly nicely.

  • this reminds me of Colony Wars for the PSone

  • This game is still awesome.

  • Yeah pretty much when the enemy blows up your cap ship and sends the debris flying at you the only thing you can do is jump out lol

  • am I the only missing the old privateer 2 ? :D Playing these games always makes me wish I still had a windows 95/DOS machine to play it on

  • You can definately see the Descent-influences.

  • @Agentbromsnor

    Well what do you think?! It's made by the same people.

  • I know.

  • ... okayy*backs up*

  • SHIP FUCKER

  • I love space games and i have a question before I download this one. Can you do something else other than fighting in this game? Like trading, mining etc.? cause just fighting it's kinda boring.

  • You do other things than just fighting, but you are a part of the military. Like in the real world military, you are not allowed to sell your jet, or ignore your mission to land your jet up in the mountain to mine. As a military pilot, you are expected to complete your mission, and that's what you do in this game - complete missions. But the missions are not always just to shoot things. They involve recon and stuff like that.

  • Thank you! Seems I have too look for another game then :(

  • X3 Reunion

  • I have X3R + XTM 0.7.5, still playing it after 2 years :)

  • @reznorms BUY it from GOG.com for $5.99,then use the Turvey Auto installer to update the game to FS2_Open 3.6.12. this will include many free additional campaigns including the campaign from Freespace 1 now in FS2 with FS2 graphics etc.

    FW2_Open will not work with pirated games, and anyway, Violition deserves a little more cash for making this great game!

  • @reznorms

    No,but suspsension and story plot overwhelm you with awesomeness.

    This game is so oposite to the statment "boring". Belive me.

  • i used to think it would be cool if you could actually fly to the planets and enter them, but id imagine that would be extremely difficult for a programmer to do, maybe one day

  • The song is "Dawn of a Million Souls" by Ayreon

  • one thing that fs2 didnt do so well with was explosions, fs1 has THE best explosion sound ever. fighters and big ships.

  • if this has missions shouldn't THIS be called freelancer, and freelancer be called freespace? it matches the game play styles, after all.

  • I loved this game and I wanted to play it

    but I have trouble runing it

    If enyone could help PM me

    PLEASE

    BTW The vid is cool

  • Wow, I loved this game as a kid. Love Freespace 1 and 2

  • Damn cool game got both of them, 100000 times better than crappy Freelancer

  • I love play that game but wow, u need a great machine for play it with no lag.

  • jIf you could cross the action and graphics from this with the "sandbox" aspect from Freelancer, my dream space sim would be born.

  • well then, the game you are looking for is either x2:the threat or x3 reunion2.0(there is also x3 terrain conflict which is technically an expansion pack) they are sandbox and action oriented depending on what choices you make.btw the graphics are 2006 style, and run easier on ANY computer of this day and age, but might be buggy.

  • I was afraid someone would say that.. For me, the X series are the most broing and convoluted spacesims ever and I hate the graphical style of it. Great for people who like to dink around with 100s of settings and menus, but not for me. If anything, I whish they made a spacebased version of Hardwar (if anyone remembers that game).

  • i completed it 100%

  • 10 years ... and nothing ... said a 10 year old game is still better than tha nowodays played space simulatiors! i dont like x3 ...

  • personally, i would see how someone would prefer this over a modern space sim, but lets face it, with mods you can properly fuse this and the x games and everybody wins.

  • The answer is simple: i prefer a good gameplay, a perfect balance and a deep story over the good-looking, but average next-gen. Old RPG's are much better than f.e. Mass Effect.

  • woah i love old games because i grew up with them but mass effect is really a great game. one of the few next gen games which really delivers

  • @BlaseVonB Freelancer is better than this in my opinion. It's also not a lie. FL IS good. It's not some complicated crap like X3. Graphics were decent, story was quite good, but multiplayer with Discovery mods and alike just won the battle over Freespace 2. But I do have to credit FS2 for being successful relatively to its release date.

  • @ronaldli5

    -No flyable Capital Ships

    -No free-roaming. Missions only

    For some people FS2 might be the greatest space sim, but for me it plain sucks, since it lacks CRITICAL features for me to call it a good space sim. I simply don't like it.

    Vanilla Freelancer doesn't have cap-ships available for player aswell, but this is EASILY fixed by mods, while in case of FS2 it's nigh impossible (similar to as it's impossible for FL modding to produce flawless beam weapons).

  • @ThinBear4 I completely agree with you. The discovery mod on FL was the best thing that i've ever played on multiplayer. Until Zero(the admin on one of the servers) decided to ban one of my bank(storage of credits) characters was deleted for toying around with cheats on it. I decided to quit after that...

  • @ronaldli5 To be honest, Discovery mod is not as good as it used to be. One of cool things about it was that among additional content it added, there were ships from Homeworld game. Then, in one of the recent updates, some moron decided they should gradually remove all those ships from different games and replace them with unique models fitting Freelancer's style. A fatal mistake in my opinion. I deleted discovery the moment I heard they're removing Homeworld ships (not all, but still).

  • @ThinBear4 I prefer uniqueness though. When I found out one of the cool sleek and stealthy looking ships called 'Raven's Talon' was from Star Wars, I immediately sold the ship away, because I never liked things being copied from something else. Unless that something else is my absolute favorite. I guess everyone has their own likings huh.

  • Is this like the game Freelancer ?

  • Somewhat, but at the same time it's very different. This is a military space shooter with more focus on combat and missions. It's not a sandbox game, it's not a trading game, it's a level based space shooter.

  • @Raafje84 Not even close. FL is way more fun.

  • The greatest game ever. Love it.

  • Youre right!

  • SALUT LE JEU EST SUPER

  • GOOD SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • F*CKING AWESOME SONG. Ayreon is the greatest band in the world. Kickasssss video too, this game is all kinds of awesome.

  • I have 3 cds ov Ayreon and cant seem to find this song anywhere, could you let me know whats the name of this song?

    Thanks a lot in anvanced.

  • where can i download this game,cause its a open source project?

  • they made Saints Row my fav

  • i recently tried to play this on my pc and even in compatibility mode for 95 or 98/Me it doesn't run smoothly when explosions and many ships are in the screen??? And my Pc can't be too slow so whats the matter? The game recognizes my graphic card and cpu so i dont get the problem? any help would be appreciated

  • Is someone making a Wing Commander Mod for Freespace2? :D

  • ok , i new to seeing this , can you trade and do escort missions and can you become a captian of a crusier , or is it just endless dogfights in small ships ?

  • Think of this a flight sim game where you get new ships from time to time. But it's all about fighting. You're an "air force" pilot, you're not a trader or fleet commander.

  • is this more freelancer? or x3?

  • More X-Wing vs Tie-fighter.

  • this looks a lot like x3 reunion. which stole which? i think x3 reunion is prettier and more immersive, at least from what i can see in this video.

  • Well, considering this game, Freespace 2, came out, oh, six years before X3, I think we can conclude that you are an idiot.

  • "which stole which?"

    implies i didn't know.

    Thus, in the way you stated that response, it appears that you believed I knew about this game, and you believe that I believed that they came out around the same time.

    LOL, analyze and interpret before responding.

  • LOL at Demonikreaper.. this game is 1999. X3 is pretty new.. yet for some strange reason it has 2d planets. WTF.

  • Yeah, I am sure that they will design hundreds of 3d planets. You aren't supposed to interact with the planets, so why would you ever need a 3D model for them?

  • what about Free Allegiance

  • 2:56 gotta love that capital ship!

  • Yep....gotta love the Colossus

  • Yay, Ayreon! Still not into them (been a while since I went music hunting), but I know Arjen gets a lot of guests for his music, and I recognized Russel Allen from Symphony X in that song. He's my favorite vocalist.

    Not counting Dio, of course. By "favorite," I mean "favorite among those who have not been imbued with godly powers from the gods of Asgard and the fallen warriors of Valhalla." It just isn't a fair fight. xD

    I can't wait to play Shadows of Lylat... multiplayer will be awesome.

  • this is from the same guys that made the descent series, right? kinda looks like it

  • Wow, for a 1999 made game, this looks awesome! To the maker of the movie: What do you think about the upcoming Jumpgate Evolution?

  • Haven't had the opportunity to check it out yet.

  • I must ask...Where in your weird little mind do you conjure up that this is anywhere similar to Halo 3?

  • Yes, indeed. I was about to ask the same question. Or rather...

    What movie were you watching, Sarpooll?

  • I think hes refering to the alien VS human war thing, which in his mind is new and started from Halo.

  • just curious but where did it start from(i came from the 1990s)

  • oh and btw does this game have online multiplayer with a story? or somtin akin?

  • you waste a lot of ordinance when you don't have too

  • you can still find the came as a 3 cd bittorent file:) Works great and ill keep uploading it for a long time;)

  • Erinyes rocks. SF Mara too if the missions werent so limited. Miss the days of being a FS2 pilot :D

  • It's been a long time, but Freespace 2 still looks great today.

  • this game still looks good

  • Yeah, You're right. I saw the score, 9.4, woow! I guess, i will buy it, thanx for video.

  • Oh this brings back memories...

    ... It's downloadable apparently? sweet. I gotta reget it. My friend lent it to me when I was a kid

  • why is he firing at the repulse with his tiny subach???

  • every little bit helps ;-)

  • er... no. orin-class ships have flag-tag, so they don'T get any damage by anything smaller as a trebuchet!

  • I have it

  • looks like a damn good game, ill ahve to get it

  • go get it, it's free :)

  • well, on my old ocmp, it kept freezing at 76%, i wont have a new computer in while, but when i do im gonna get it, its really awesome looking, i really do love space sims, and the missile effects are awesome

  • especially the swarm missiles rock! (considering effects).

    If you own an older computer, perhaps you should consider buying an old original of freespace 2 (or fs 1 ;-) ). I think they are still available.

  • lol getting a sager NP9262, ittl run it :D

  • Great combination of music and game, I love Freespace so much...

  • One of the game that I always keep installed :)

    -Whitestar-4th (4th Angels Squadron)

  • When I install the SCP-Mod, are the missions still the same? (cause, i want to play the 'orinigal' first when it would change something elemtary)

  • The missions are the same. Everything just looks better!

  • you suck at aiming i have this game i pown ass

  • I use a joystick. Not as accurate as a mouse, but more fun.

  • Holy DAMNATION How the Hell did "Dawn of a Million Souls" get mixed in w/ my favorite PC game? I doublechecked to make sure my iTunes didn't accidentally go off XD. Good music choice. BTW Romeo only plays the solo.

  • I don't know better game than this one!

  • I hate that mission, but its one of the best.

  • at least the one in the beginning...

  • Freespace 2 is too cool for words. Sometimes I just like to sit back and watch the capital ships tear at each other with their beam cannons.

  • The song is on Arjen "Ayreon" Lucassen's album "the universal migrator part II" - the whole album majorly kicks ass. And yep, that's good ol Russ singing on this one ....seems like most fans of these awesome games are also prog metal fans!! :D

  • Yes, Russell Allen is a great singer. And I think Romeo is playing guitar on this one as well.

  • Sorry X3 The Reunion is alot better

  • I have played Reunion, but I found it too slow paced nd dull. I like action in space sims, not tedious business trips. But to each his own.

  • Dude... could you please send me a download to this song? I can't find it anywhere.

  • bring back Freespace 2 PXO, multiplayer squadrons used to be awesome

  • the only thing thats really gets me angry is the ai in fs1 aaaarrreee waayy smarter than the ones in fs2. especailly the dragons, they way more skillfull.

  • I loved Freespace 1, and I'm downloading 2 right now. I also love the vid, just a quick question, what song is this?

  • Ayren with the song "Dawn Of A Million Souls" featuring some people from Symphony X (one of my favourite bands).

  • Good show but Into The Lion's Den, the second misxsion of the second set of SOC missions, would have better.

  • oh i used to play the original for the longest. a while ago they offered these legendary games in 2 packs for 10 dollars each. this was in one. man that game was good and i beat it too :(

  • if someones is interst you can download the full version here

  • Where?

  • sorry youtube don't allows links

  • if anyone still likes these kinds of space games freelancer still has over a 100 differant servers running , game is cheap and you can get a mod manager to turn on and off any modd loaded in mod manager,it will hold alot of huge 100meg mods, and you can run your own server from the basic game- check out you tube for freelancer

  • freelancer sucks, fs1 is were its at.

  • what difference is freespace 2 and freespace 2 scp?

  • The FreeSpace Source Code Project (also known as "FS2Open"), was started after Volition released the FreeSpace 2 source code, which has elevated the features of the game far past its original capabilities. Although many improvements are graphical in nature, there are also a number of beneath-the-hood improvements for modding the game.

  • I loved that game! I didnt even own a real version of it just a demo but it was still awesome! I wish they still made some good videogames like freespace.

  • Holy shit dude, nice video. I <3 this game to death.

  • where can u find this game? i beat the original, but can't find the second!

  • See the comments on the video response.

  • Despite it being as old as it is, released in '99 I have to say this game is probably the best space sim ever. Space combat in Star Wars Galaxies is amazing but is not nearly as action packed as this, and it is more quest based and MMO combat, there isnt really a storyline or reacting NPCs with voice acting like in this game. Its a shame I lost my disc and broke my joystick, but Freespace 2 entertained me for so so so long.

  • It's avaliable for free now that the source code is freely avaliable. Check out hard-light.

  • do they freespace for windows xp?

  • This is on Windows XP.

  • it was meant for 98. lol but scp was meant for xp

  • either way the game still looks great

  • Unfortunately the game is without the advanced graphical updates, as I forgot to activate them before recording the gameplay. I'll make a new one at a later date with the "new look".
