[Christoere]

[HarunDanyal]

That was pretty well executed attack.



[Pupixario]

[Robcrusoeful]

I like this type fregat in Higarians

[dbzandroid13]

[Meentanker]

homeworld is the greatist game in the world but the ships own armaments need some work like for every ship but i will always love this game

[CrazyEstonian]

I love doing 1vs1 against an expert bot, they can always suprise you in some way.

[miksulder]

RELIC is the best rts maker in the world!! company of heroes, homeworld, dawn of war...

[pancho000111]

No one knows the song??

[pancho000111]

@pancho000111 Im gonna download the audio of this video and then just crop it, goddammit im an idiot...

[tasagraf]

@pancho000111

God is An Astronaut is name of the band...

[FaggotHatingGuy]

I hate this ship, worst damn frigate in HW2. Sad part is you have to relly on it for like 4 missions before u can construct something better. I swear 2 of them cant even bring down an asault frigate....

[zeppirl]

awesome game..miss it :(

[sam23696]

haha ur pc is lagging

mine does it maximum evrything and on that scale

[oldoldoldoldold]

God Is An Astronaut - Brilliant choice mate

[aznkid4ever2]

What song is this? Doesn't sound like Evanescence to me.

[Pupixario]

@aznkid4ever2 It's not , I clicked the Lucky button and it chose a new song for me lol

[Sekibetsu]

@Pupixario Sure you don't know what your current music is? Its sounds like an orgasm to my ears. :S

[Pupixario]

@Sekibetsu Sorry Only thing I can tell is that its from youtubes free music aaand it's 4:56 sec long :S

[Ghostkiller5555]

@Pupixario you can check what song it is ...

[Johe100]

@Pupixario

For the all interested parties... Took some time to find it out from the vast collection of song from a great post-rock band "God is an Astronaut" song named "Twilight". Enjoy! Great game btw!

[Pupixario]

@Johe100 Thank you very much m8

THUMBS up for his info so every1 can see it

[GuaranaClyde]

@Pupixario Twilight by God Is An Astronaut. Quite fitting, if you ask me.

[SuperJaaaaaa]

@Sekibetsu w w w . video2mp3 . net use this its easy and download like mp3

[Pupixario]

@lighterinthestorm not that one anymore , that was the original , which was then removed by WMG

[lighterinthestorm]

@Pupixario oh sorry for the disinformation then. :/.

[theunhumanFFF]

i realllyyyyyy love this game!!!!

[EumlOriginal]

3 vs. CPUs. 3 CPUs? have you ever so many CPUs? ;-)

[bareloto]

[Pupixario]

@bareloto very hard question to answer :D

[bareloto]

@Pupixario :S

[farnium]

@bareloto

.......avert your gaze three inches above this comment.

[bareloto]

@farnium if u mean trapt headstrong, it's not the exact song.. anywya i still love this song: :P thanx

[dantunes112]

@bareloto trapt - headstrong

[Pupixario]

I had it you guys I am changing the song to something else cause you people whine so much about the song that I cant take it anymore , the song sucks but the original one was removed , WMG :( .

[lokoxxxxx]

I want Homeworld 3:-( btw, even makarena would be a better song for space game

[GLAXxan]

I really loved those ship designs :)

[unharmonix]

evanescence to spaceships? you high?

[Pupixario]

@unharmonix Тhe original song was removed .

[jamesyboi92]

get it on a HD screen and MY GOD the upscale quality is immense

[Atheist18505]

sad because he is hacking, look at his RU's no fucking way, thats possible without hacks.

[AliveRocktribute]

[zerodaiku]

omg pupixario...u make me want to get this game >.<

I've tried out sins of a solar empire, it's a pretty good game too but the resources gather rate is just totally sucks.

[ShasLaMontyr]

what song is that?

[ShasLaMontyr]

@ShasLaMontyr oh my bad says in description

[THEK0TU]

@ShasLaMontyr he says its Trapt, but its an Evanescence song

[Pupixario]

@THEK0TU Yes the song is change due to WMG copyright bullshit , sorries

[Arrowladedful]

@THEK0TU It's a Trap-t?

[erebus02]

I forgot how much the Frigates just own when they have numbers. Personally I tend to have about 15 long range frigates and a few Flaks to give them a little protection LOL. But I've noticed lately that the BCs have a nasty habit of just ploughing towards me and taking it all like a man.... then the blasted bombers come in to smack my frigates around for a bit.

[satjathamma]

it's old but dont judge it by it's age, if you play it you will see how good it is. it's AWSOME!! no other space strategy games can even compare to it even today

[Joutja123]

I'm sure this is evanescence, not that trapt thing.

[ratujr]

i reckon this game pioneered this sci-fi rts genre truly a classic

[pupuchun]

Homeworld RULEZ! Any noobs that say "Homeworld sucks" are alll... Stupids!

Homeworld ftw!

[KingOfMacedon100]

how can i see in the game how many resource unit i have?

[pokemonfreakz]

@KingOfMacedon100 in the top right of the screen you should see some yellow numbers, those are your resource units.

[MustNotRead]

its 2010.. you should really get yourself a colour monitor already

[Yeeren]

I effing LOVE torpedo frigates. I usually go for a fleet of destroyer and battlecruisers with a good old Wall O' Torps forming the damage-soaking buffer at the front of the fleet and two or three carriers trailing behind pumping out a continuous stream of torpedo frigates to replace the losses. Supplement with strikecraft to your heart's content and there is nothing this fleet can't take down.

God watching a wave of torpedoes slam into a target just gives me a warm feeling inside.

[GokuSSj5KD]

what I mean is that hmw2 is only hard if you dont take in count the UBER WEAK/ UBER OP attribute. For the HUD, I almsot didnt used the Hmw2 one cuz I just found it kinda useless (I use shortcut instead). Accessing actions via that little interface on the bottom left side of the screen aint rigth. Its more visual but old school gamers jsut dont use that kind of eye candy uselessness since you have to move more to select the option, then click. I only used it to see the control (ctrl+y for heal?)

[jfunf]

In HW 2 i do not use HUd as well as in HW 1. I think that HW have a better interface then HW1. I love HW 1 but i really tend to the point that HW 2 better balanced. HW 1 looked kinda too easy. I've captured any major ship starting from the very beginning tyranic ion frigates - anf up to the final pre asteroid level where you got a sphere of ion frigates.

[jfunf]

they aggro my prox sensors and never react to the salv corvettes when those capture them like sheep. the same thing with earlier mission but then they aggro my interceptors.

[GokuSSj5KD]

Hmw1 thought, even if you can capture up to the infinit (wich makes epic figths lol) nobody forces you to do it. Plus, in homeworld 2, using interceptor on a cruiser is shit. you HAVE to use bombers or wait 50 hours. In hmw1, you can use whatever you want yet you still can make it if you use a correct tactic (well missile destroyer was op but well...). Hmw2 jsut got some stuff that are OP on something and as weak as paper on something else. Flak vs destroyer? figthers against flak?

[GokuSSj5KD]

Now this "expention" bullshit. Cloaking is a technology used by our own reality with F-22, B-2 bombers as a REALLY IMPORTANT warfare technology. Now in hmw2 (campagne) its just not present. New carrier can't maintain a group of squadron anymore, or at least nothing like before...

well..

Life change, game does too. Fact is that hmw2 was rushed. New battles are eye candy and explosions are still nice to look at even 7 years after it has been made, but geez... its soo far from Hmw1

[GokuSSj5KD]

I'd like to bring something to whoever said thsi hmw 2 game had a better control ect... First of all, grouping sux in hmw2. Its a eye candy game, not a strategy game as hard as hmw1. You can get some nice strategy with destroyers and maybe some frigate, but the behavior of figthers and corvette is too hard coded to make us play with them at ease and to let us "control" them. Formation sux. groups sux. Ships control sux. No more scout boos, cloaking sux, variety of ships and group SUX.

[jfunf]

What are you talking about...HW better strategy? you mean H vs H only i think. I consider HW 2 HUD much better. You can control your fleet from the Tactic mode. You can play entire game trough it. Better balance- you can't capture 300 ion frigates (HW1 pre-final mission) and win by quantity. HW2 - much harder to play in fact then HW1. And thats bad too cause if you don't know what happens next in a mission - you got screwed...

[GokuSSj5KD]

actually retaking captain soban was the hardest mission when you play the first time, but when I mean Tactic, I mean ingame tactic like moding your group, a formation that actually change something, and managing ressources. In hmw2, you can just build all your fleet, and play it with a different tactic. 6 bomber 8 interceptor, 4 pulsar + 8 gun (forgot name) corvette. 6 flak, 6-10 torpedos, the 2 defense frigate and 1 marine rest in ion. End of tactic for hmw2.

[jfunf]

In HW - main thing was - unlimited captured fleet. If you would build it - then you got a cap of course..but if you got say 40 or so salvage corvettes - you literally could have all cruisers of your enemy. In HW - if you got all best units at max and continuously reinforce them as they die - you cant lose. Bombers - at max - for capital ships pulsars for fighters and ions - and there you have it.

[jfunf]

I got mothership easily in that retake soban mission - including the main vaigr. all heavy destroyers - can be disabled and stoped via bombers. thats the key. Interseptors - is a waste of credits. The key to victory in that mission - to destroy shipyards at the very beginning with heavy bombers covered by pulsar corvettes..

[ShihayazadOnRage]

i suggest u better play wc3 then^^ seems the MANY strategic possibilities in HW2 overstrain your strategic possibilites ;-) and no, HW1 was NOT better then HW2! the only thing better was the story, thats it

[GokuSSj5KD]

a sequel for hmw2? its comin. Cataclysm is a "unofficial sequel" of hmw1 and hmw raiders is only like the 3 first mission? or the 3rd mission only? its just a demo.

Btw hmw2 sux so deeply compared to hmw 1 and cataclysm... pure fact... it was released wayyy too early and the story sucked... Multiplayer ends up behing boring after 2 weeks or so...

[reversetriangle]

Goku is a retard, pure fact.

[GokuSSj5KD]

Hmw1 multiplayer longevity, 5 years (on the multiplayer server). like 1 year less for cataclysm. Hmw2 Longevity on multiplayer? after 1 year almost noone where playing. Evryone who played the 3 games know the last game doesnt fit the story.

You're either too stupid to face it or you're just an other youtube hater. If so, take a ticket.

[reversetriangle]

The core game sucks, pure fact. Everything from the GUI, controls, etc... are better, pure fact. "The story doesn't fit..." Lmao, maybe because you're too retarded to comprehend, pure fact. Also, HW1 didn't last long in multiplayer, pure fact.

You're gay, pure fact.

[GokuSSj5KD]

I wont relate to evry single aberation in the chronology from hmw 1 to 2 sinec I dont think your worth it. Now hmw1 didnt last, probly if you played in 2008. I played since the beggining of both games, you can call me gay but if you say im wrong on the multiplayer part and story part... NC. Btw controls are almsot the same... big deal? Gui better ? LoL GG Uber mind you go there... Cant compare a 1998 game and a 2000+ game... Know of Hardware evolution? Hmw1 GUI > hmw2 GUI in respective years

[jfunf]

Your remarks make you one as well...pure fact?

[jfunf]

HW 2 does not fit? How come? Who decide that? Ever heard about story expansion?

[GokuSSj5KD]

evolution ,expention yes. Switching technology, downgrading techs, not. Higg got a the Imperialist defense field technologie. Ok. Taiidan (vaygr) got only missle tech, no more ion. I understand they wanted to divide the races at something higher then only ship design and 2-3 ship. Its a bit long to explain in a 500 character text area, but get it this way : the main technology that defined each races in hmw1 are either inexistant or underpowered/not used. Expention huh?

[Vartrex5]

HW2 is the best strategy game

[178thbattlegroup]

hw2 was made in 2002.. hwc was made in 2000 i believe. and hw1 was made in 1999

[ScottZirpolo]

I have Cataclysm (It was more like an expansion for HW1, though. Same engine and all) but I've never heard of Raiders. How is it?

[frenchersfriers]

i still play the first homeworld...

my computer sucks :}

[ScottZirpolo]

I like this video too.

I was expecting some simplistic torp rush, but you show the power that torpedo frigates show when used in conjunction with a larger battlegroup. It's nice, and thanks.

[Pupixario]

Thank you , glad you enjoed it , it's old but it still gets some views :)

[ScottZirpolo]

Hey, HW2 is old, but it gets more than some plays. There's nothing wrong with age!

[Pupixario]

Bispite it's age , for me it is the best Space Real-Time Strategy game ever made (so far )

P.S : Lets hope there will be a new one in the genre that will be even better :)

[ScottZirpolo]

Still fantasizing about a Homeworld 3 here, even though it doesn't look likely right now...

Maybe when DirectX10 comes out, we'll be able to organize a fan-based project. That could be cool.

[BHDmalarkey]

@Pupixario i would have to say eve is i find eve a strategy mmo but thios game is my number 2 <3

[Rex1987]

@Pupixario or a homeworld 3 :-)

[xander975]

@Pupixario and hopefully for windows vista and 7

[oEQjet]

@Pupixario There was going to be a sequel to nexus: The jupiter incident. The engine they had looked solid solid solid, never came about though. For some absurd bloody reason not enough of the general public likes space opera type games. I don't know why but if I end up on the clock tower picking people off, that's going to be reason number 1.

[MatteV2]

@Pupixario THQ and Relic are planning to make Homeworld 3, but with the recent failures of Space Marine and Dawn of War 2 Shitribution, I'm not looking forward to it...

[dec20056]

@MatteV2 those games are fun?

[MatteV2]

@dec20056 Space Marine: A balancing nightmare gone bad. Released to early, balance is shit, sound is shit, lore is buttraped, etc etc

Shitribution: SP is a joke, MP is fun though

[jamesyboi92]

@ScottZirpolo also therre good for anti fighters to ;)

[RPNova]

They're even better in complex mod, can get a callisto anti-capital missile upgrade for them, with that they rape pretty much everything.

[LinkMyBoy]

my gameplay doesnt really involve frigates, just cant use them effectively.

Vagyr hit and run tactics with hyperspace gates. the best

[xKILLZONAx]

i use 21 ion frigs and dd rush

[Myxale]

epicness!

[dmk1978]

thanks

[dmk1978]

aaaiiiiii!!! yup what song is this pls?

[VioletGiraffe]

Evanescence?

[NazarovVv]

the end of Tourniquet and Imaginary by Evanescence

[MegaPS3Gamer]

imaginay-evanescene fallen

[bloodbath907]

what song is this?

[PabloHedning]

Homeworld 1 sorry

[PabloHedning]

Damn its a pity they removed the fact that the (forgot the name atm) photon frigates i think 's beams dont push ships around as in Homeworld 2 :S

[ThePcGuideGuy]

is it just me or is there a complete lack of color in this video? or is the just what the games is like?

[Pupixario]

It 's Sepia video effect :)

[ddrumfanatic]

I like how you used the end of Turniquet and jumped into Imaginary, like in the album

[Wolfhearty]

I dont know why people are excited with torpedo frigates, when ions are much better agains big ships and flaks are better against fighters and bombers. Torpedo frigates are waste of money ;) At least, for me. I could play this game with minimal looses. Flaks against small ships and cruisers against frigates, destroyers and capital ships. For enemys cruisers there are.. bombers destrying their main weaponary and cryisers for finishing off.

[OriginalWolly]

does this game have a skirmish mode?

[bloodanddirt]

why would you drain the color from a beautiful game.

[Talon1124]

I mix my frigates up, so I have a balanced force, but the impressiveness of those massed Torps is... just wow. I mean, come -on-, who wouldn't **** a brick when faced with -that- number of missiles coming at them?

[Nadiler]

Try ppl playing with mod that disables figther and corvete production. Without those torpedo frigates are prety much useless (at least the higaran beacuse Vaygr missili frigates pose real threat)

Best fighting machine is BC+destroyers supported by Flak and Ion frigates (8 flak to counter fighters and corvets )

Besides BC is quete easy to destroy with no support few bomber squadrons with few corvetes and BC is a matter of time and number of attackers =)

[giggsth]

21 torpedo's vs 1 battlecruiser? You lose like 7 torpedo's but you pwned the battlecruiser

[loveryoda]

are you talking about higaran BC or vaygr BC?  base on what i know, higaran BC is a really good frigate killer. it has better range, and its guns are 1 shot 1 kill. 1 thing i am sure of it's BC is the best detoryer killer.

[GoombaDaddy]

7? no way. BCs aren't THAT powerful

[Commandos12]

i just mass assult craft + heavy missile frigate

i'm 100% vaygr :3

i like how their ships look

[mTreyV]

im 99% vaygr, i dont like how their ships look, just dont like Hiigarans ion cannons. Missiles FTW (i didn't use torpedo frigates because i think they are a bit useless)

[Hiuaske]

im 100% Hiigaaran they have Cool ships too like the battleships lol battleships are like star destroyers (try making your color scheme Main white and red stripe when hiigaaran and build battlcruisers*

[mazack00]

20 Torpedo frigates are a must have in any game for their mass of multipurpose firepower.

20 torp frigs + 4 destroyers + 1 or 2 battle cruisers = unstoppable pwnage machine.

[tehdreamer]

in the end ion frigs are better because it takes ages for the torpedo to travel while ion is instant, while torp frig fires his torpido he will be blasted away, but if you move your torp frigs close up to the ship then they are quite effective.

[mazack00]

I dunno. Ion cannon frigs are extremely vulnerable to fighters and corvettes, they can barely take them out, even if you have a lot of frigates! You have to balance your force with flak frigates and flak frigates are pretty poor against anything bigger than a corvette.

I know what you mean though about the instant damage. However, with torpedo frigates, the torpedo keeps going even after it's dead. Ion cannons stop firing if it dies...

[THEBOB566974]

lol flack friget arre good in a goo group but it has to be a big ass groupe

[ynvaser7]

There's no "strongest ship" in this game. Battlecruisers are strong, yes, but bombers can take them out in 30-60 seconds. Bombers aren't perfect either, if they run into interceptors or flak frigates alone that's their doom. Frak frigates can be taken out with ion frigates or destroyers, and those can be taken out by battlecruisers easily. It's an infinite circle, you must have everything in your fleet to be strong enough.

[se7en00110111]

I've never actually really found flak or torpedo frigates particularly useful.

I just mass ion cannon frigates. Sure, they take a long time to fire, but when they do, boy, you can just watch the health bar of that Vagyr battlecruiser disappear.

[ynvaser7]

And if you happen to run into a cloud of bombers, all your ion frigates dissappear in a matter of seconds.

[PocketAces18]

Is true!

[tehdreamer]

thats why you have a cloud of interceptors to counter that

[Crinjagizmo]

i thinks thats "imaginary" by evanescence..

[Pupixario]

It's from the utube playlist of songs , i think u r right so ty :)

[thewraitharecool]

whats the song

[ironsilvergold]

i mass destroyers and BattelC

[Pupixario]

1:20 -> 1:40 :P

[ilikeguns15]

To quote Bender from Futurama, "Yep, were boned."

[SemperVictis156]

Torps can cause some problems yeah but ion cannons are the true ship killers

[FreddyCrouger666]

torpedo frigates are good only at the campaign! Thats because they get the anti-mover technology! At the single player torpedo frigates aren't that good as the ion cannon frigates!

And the music background is not good!

[ankianka16]

Hey flak frigates pwns both ion and torpedo

[GoombaDaddy]

um, no....

[ankianka16]

well yes! ion are just annoying, torpedo sucks and flak in a massive fleet, oh yeh!

[GoombaDaddy]

annoying maybe, but c'mon now, they beat down your little paint-scratcher flak frigs! i will admit that flaks are cool as hell- but effective vs anything bigger than a cat? no sir

[178thbattlegroup]

lol ppl always talk about how good ion frigs are. i keep telling them to give the torps credit but they don't so i torp/inter rush and pwn them =P

FEAR THE TORPEDO FRIGATES!!!

lol mines are good too but only if u have time to make a full field which ppl almost never let u do =/

[Yeeren]

Static defenses in HW only work against small minded people. Easier to attack from above or below than risk a minefield.

And the true power of torp frigs is their versatility - support them with a handful of ion frigs and flak frigs and there's nothing they can't kill.

[SirJust]

So basically your strategy is making lots of frigates? There's a counter for that you know ^^

[ranger7650]

2:44-LOTS of torpedoes, thats what i like the most :)))

[Pupixario]

Yea man that game gets pretty realistic :0

[Pupixario]

2:44 is not Lag ,i Alt+TAb and Fraps stops (Pause)Recording :)

[routhoula]

can you believe that i get puny frames(5-7) in alot smaller battles with an HD3850. thats weird. anyway great vid

[newcal4]

cool!
