  • Interesting fact if you want to play HW2 effectively, have a CPU with -plenty- of speed. Doesn't matter if you have a 12-core Opteron due to the game's single-threaded design. Old HT Prescott cores could run this game fantastically.

  • It's funny listening to Battlestar Galactica (the soundtrack is clearly Homeworld based) and the new Star Trek movie (again, soundtrack is HW based), and seeing how much influence a game had on Sci Fi.

  • stronghold? no

  • The only problem was the auto hyperspace travel.

  • Comment removed

  • STILL LOOKS AMAZING

  • @Padin011

    I do!! Let's do this!!

  • Best game ever, my dad got the original first Homeworld.

  • okay. homeworld is a PC game. As in u have to buy it. and this is a mod for homeworld2. The actual trailer is different. I have the game too.

  • Is this an online game?

  • @Christoere

    it is a 3D Space RTS came out at 2003, same year as Warcraft 3

  • This is the greatest space war game EVER! Period.

    It is a terrible tragedy that due to legal mitigations with the defunct original developer, this incredible game was freezed with the company assets, despite multiple efforts from external developers to acquire the rights to continue this very successful series. At the end of Homeworld 2, it is already obvious that a sequel was planned as the story was very well developed and needed another sequel to possibly wrap up all the many questions left.

  • this is a game designed when marketing wasnt the only reason, fun and enginutiy ruled rarther than the fat media cretins.

  • how do I get this 2 work on Windows 7

  • une pregunta ese juego tine e virus?? el de homeworld 2

  • One of the best games ever

  • The only SF strategy game that looks like it's actually done by the people who have some insight into astronomy and astrophysics.

  • best game ever

  • Don't hate on Sins it's a pretty damn good game, why does everyone always fight over RTS games? I can understand MW2 vs Battlefield 3 but RTS games are like... all brothers or all family! each one has a MASSIVE AMOUNT of crazy stuff in it, the only other genre that matches it are RPG's.

    Homeworld is by far my favorite but Sin's isn't bad either!

    Enough.

    they are both awesome stfu and gtfo if u think one or the other is bad

  • i always thought homeworld was better than homeworld 2 - while i do agree both were epic games hw2 seemed to be ... backwards in places.

    resourcing and repair - where did your fancy green and orange beams go?

    capturing ships - what happened to towing it back to your mothership? - marine frigates were so bloody fragile, loose one and your entire capture op is shafted.

    ship design? - it almost looks like they took templates out of the Karos Graveyard for hw2's ships - hw1's ships looked futuristic

  • This game is awesome.

  • I have no idea why they waited so long to bring out a Homeworld 3 (if they ever do). Relic pretty much owned this genre of game- anyone who mentions 3d space RTS knows about Homeworld. To have abandoned it after HW2 was madness.

  • @hamsterminator They didn't have a choice. THQ bought relic - but sierra still owned the rights to the Homeworld games.

    However! Relic have now *bought* those rights. As in, they have actively spent money to get them. Sounds hopefull.....

  • I always get a little ticked off by people who talk crap about graphics in the past.

    Theyre always too young and dumb to realize not only did computers and console's had less memory speed and harddrive space, (which prevented faster rendering times) but programs like opengl was in its infancy. And even so there's computers back in the 80's that did FAR more with what little they had compared to the wasteful sloppy hack programers of today most of whom dont create anything from scratch.

  • Comment removed

  • They should make a Homeworld game like Mass Effect.

  • LoL! looks just like SWTOR

  • "Danny Bilson of THQ tweeted that Relic's next big RTS will be announced in August 2011"

    Definitely Homeworld 3, IF NOT!!! I BE REALLY IN RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @operationkilled yeah I read that... IT BETTER BE HOMEWORLD. Or else someone is getting some hatemail

  • flying 3 ships at once seems awesome =D

  • I love Relic's art style, it's heavily influenced through all the games they develop, such as Impossible Creatures. IC has a very similar art style. It's cool.

  • i just found my old copy of HOMEWORLD, i jizzed in my pants, i love this game. lol

  • lol what this looks better than sins of a solar empire that i have

    

  • If you want to play Homeworld 2 multiplayer go to my channel and click the website link! It's a website made for help making an online community

  • if any plays multiplayer message me!

  • I LOVE HOMEWORLD

  • Nostalgia!

  • Hahaha! What a Beta! and the music too!

    But this phrase: "Fleet command online." should be as famous as the Terminator's "I'll come back!"

    Now I can put her next to the "Nuclear launch detected" from another famous game...

  • cute

  • GUYS! I GOT NEWS!, THQ have said that they got the Homeworld rights back, i a article i've found it says: ''Danny Bilson of THQ tweeted that Relic's next big RTS will be announced in Auguest 2011'' THIS MONTH!, maybye is Homeworld 3?!, I WANT HOMEWORLD 3!!!!!

  • @VaygrX

    Nah, t'is likely that they will not be able to sustain the feel homeworld 1+2 achieved :/

  • @VaygrX it wasn't.

  • Best rts space series: homeworld

    Best tactical rts: medival total war

    The best medival rts: stronghold

    Best future rts: supreme commander 2 after starcraft II( I had to put both up :D)

    But everyone have different taste of gaming. And I haven't even tried them all, no one have.

  • @dacke93 got all of them and played though all and i have to agree

  • @dacke93 best grand strategy rtses: Paradox Interactive

  • @dacke93 you forgot the W40K.

  • @dacke93 You forgot modern RTS

  • @dacke93 i have all :D

  • @dacke93 I hope you don't seriously think supreme commander 2 is a good game, it's a blight on the series and I will never forgive GPG for ruining such a good game. It's literally one of the worst RTS' I've played in the last 10 years and a betrayal of everything that made the first game great.

  • @QuiteAverageGaming I seen the trailer for Supreme Commander 2, and promptly halted my demo download.

  • @dacke93  Best Warfare RTS: Company of Heroes

  • What's funny about all the Space RTS games that will eventually pop-up is that they will ALWAYS have their ass kicked off by this game....and simply only by the fact that....HOMEWORLD...WAS.......­FIRST in the GENRE ... thank you...bye bye

  • I might be the 100th fan who takes the time to write this, but.... I fucking love this game. I got goose things on my skin when I saw this trailer 2001, happy I made the right choose buyin it!!!!!

  • Derp the first one was made in 1999. This is Homeworld TWO.

  • sins rules

  • @antheunis011 sins isnt even related......

  • is there any place to download this map? or do i have to buy it at gamestop?

  • @tjstrong12 i meant game not map sorry

  • instead of playing tis old classicer, u may try out the new relic game that is called Dawn of War 2

  • I WANNA PLAY DIS GAME BUT ITS NOT ON STEAM :((((((((((

  • MY CD DOSEN'T WORK ANY MORE AND I WANTED TO PLAY AGAIN AFTER SEEING THE TRAILER

  • @TheMikevella your caps lock button works great tho

  • @pedjislav ya i does

  • There has been speculation supported through various sources that Relic has re-acquired the rights to the Homeworld franchise from Vivendi. THQ confirmed that Relic indeed owns the trademark again, making a continuation of the series under THQ's lead possible. However, no comment on future installments was given. SOURCE google. expect a homeworld 3 soon..but not for awhile..

  • @avengerizer16

    By the time Homeworld 3 is release we would already be living in a world with flying cars, intergalactic travel, alien relation diplomacies, thus making the game very blant D:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sins of a solar empire, Empire at war, or Homeworld 2? And why?

  • @reetrixable ok some differences

    Sc2: start with land base and worker things

    Hw2: start with a space ship

    Sc2: build land and air to attack

    hw2: build spaceships to attack

    Sc2: mainly 2d gameplay just 2

    Hw2: 3d gameplay

  • sins of a solar empure owns this game

  • @delsol00000 thats because this game was released in 2003, 6 years earlier than your goddamn sins of a solar empire, which i already threw away for low quality.

  • @warmadkiller

    I have to agree with you, while SIns of a Solar Empire may give you that "I'm teh Emprah" feeling, it sucks when it comes to RTS military battles. For some reason, the only game I acknowledge as a RTS space battle game is Homeworld and Homeworld alone.

  • @marshall9doom Then keep getting mods for your homeworld because i doubt we will see anything as good as this.

    P.S. Try Complex mod. It doesnt just add few new units, it completely changes the game.

  • @warmadkiller

    Thanks for the heads up, currently downloading it now.

  • Hi do anybody know a good strategy game like Homeworld ? It cant be the only one! Please help! @warmadkiller

  • @Yastamba Be more specific. There are a lot of good strategy games but people dont focus on space too much because such games tend to fail and homeworld is one of its kind. If it is space RTS, you can try Sins of a solar empire (some people consider it good (May god forgive me)) or, you can try Nexus: The Jupiter incident which is rather a tactical simulation with no ship construction. If the space doesnt matter to you, then try Supcom (1, not 2) or C&C Series.

  • I just thought of any kind of space game mostly strategy but any kind of space game will do!! I just love the C&C series all of it! I played a bit of Sins of a Solar Empire well it was disaster for me!

    The other good space game was space wolf what is most likely a tactical game! @warmadkiller

  • @Yastamba The only thing that comes to mind now is Nexus The jupiter incident. However it doesnt kill too much time but the gameplay is interesting.

    By the way, ever tried complex mod for Homeworld 2? You should ^^.

  • @Yastamba And if you want a homeworld like game, then keep wishing. Why do you think people make such a thing out of Homeworld 3?

  • @warmadkiller Hell to the yeah to that brother! Hiigara's the only empire I'll ever fight for!

  • @Reaverhobbies I prefer Vagyr because I prefer how their ships look. =)

  • @warmadkiller

    chill man, its just a game.

    If you don' like sins, thats your prerogative.

  • @theknack101 ...Not my fault that it is 2. best rated comment. If you don't like it, give it thumbs down or just ignore it.

  • @warmadkiller

    Well of course its the highest on a homeworld 2 trailer

    If you said something like that on a sins trailer, you would get downvoted into oblivion.

    Just sayin that you should chill a bit

  • @theknack101 Maybe I should. Not that I would listen to that.

  • @delsol00000 You say Sins of a Solar Empire is superior to Homeworld 2, yet you fail to even spell your favourite game correctly. Did you even play Homewold 2 or just trolling? ... Oh... Now I feel I am being trolled.

  • @WikiOldEnt sins wasn't really meant to be a single player game. that's why there's no campaign. it's meant for more of a multiplayer thing. HW and HW2 are story driven, not mutliplayer driven.

  • Homeworld 2 trailer: Tells you exactly what you'll get.

    no hyperbole.

  • @Reetrixable

    my dear idiotic friend, this game is 7 years older than starcraft 2

    and it had some of the best graphics of its time

    and homeworld one was released in 2009 ,it was developed at the same time with SC1 but was relased a little later, and unlike the SC universe these games have some of the best RTS space stories

  • @aramiris

    2009? I hope that's a typo.

  • @giggsth l\

    lol

    sorry, I was furious ont he other guy when i tiped that, I ment 1999

    in 2009 it was the 10 year aniversary :D

  • @Soccermaniac3555 I don't think you understand how G-forces work. G-forces are created when an object changes speed or direction rapidly. It doesn't matter whether an object is in space or not. If you're travelling at 20,000 mph in one direction and decellerates to 0 in just a few seconds or turns you're going to go SPLAT.

  • @Soccermaniac3555 Centrifugal force.

  • haargh, I must ROFL when I hear sound effects in space! Such nonsence. It begins at star trek and everybody follows like f00ls.

  • @iannickCZ Real space combat would be unintersting to watch and would be done compleatly by computer due to the great distances and speeds involved. Humans would turn to goo when exposed to the ultra high G turns space fighters like starwars and Battlestar galactica use. So what it's entertainment not reality.

  • wait 1999????? this game cant be from 1999 the graphics are way too good.

  • @jacobgovan we know, thats why its so good

  • @jacobgovan Homeworld was from 1999, this is homeworld 2 from 2003.

  • @jacobgovan Its not....its from 2003 x_X; the 1999 GOTY was about homeworld 1....

  • @jacobgovan timeless graphics

  • @jacobgovan homeworld was 1999

    this is the second 1

  • @jacobgovan no homeworld 1 was in 1999 this one is from 2003, but still thats freaking good. TES Morrowind came out in 2003 and that game looks like shit in comparison to this game (although I still love Morrowind)

  • @jacobgovan 2003

  • @jacobgovan Its not... the original homeworld came out in 1999 followed by Cataclysm then HW2

  • @jacobgovan who the fuck gave u 26 thumbs up -.- there stood that this is from the guys who made homeworld (so homeworld 1 was meant) in 1999

  • @THug0001 Yeah ok. About 20 people have told me that already. I get the point ok. I didnt know. Just stop telling me the same thing over and over and over. Sorry i got thuimbs up jesus dude.

  • @jacobgovan :D:D sorry man

  • @jacobgovan its relic they r always way ahead of their time

  • @jacobgovan 2003

  • i love this series :) its so sad thats its ended :(

  • its a good game... but not as good as homeworld 1...

    didnt really like the new 5 ships thingy either instead of building 1

  • Remake of Starcraft 2? Haha, child, look at the date. I still don't understand why people like blizzard games so much, because I think this looks lots better than WoW or SC2

  • looks like a shetty game to me....

  • @doomy88kent and ur the type of person who probibly plays midless violence instead of an incredible story, witch this game has

  • @lukethedukea380 or probably not

  • @doomy88kent that was it look to me but when i played its was AWESOME!!! try it ;D

  • @theunhumanFFF ok man. I`ll try it:-??

  • Sierra and Relic... a combination that has been producing epic games since before most people playing them were born...

  • @Reetrixable its WAAAAY better than starcrap 2 in terms of ships. for a start it has fully 3 dimensional movement, realistic ship designs and proper strategy. Micro management is very small, most of the game being focused on long range manouveres and careful planning. There are many options for attacks and defenses including ship cloaking, guerilla warfare from hypersapce, minefields, defense platforms, long range missile frigates, to close quarters corvettes. Its a very good game if you like it

  • @Reetrixable this game came out in 2003? or something like that, way before SC2...

  • I ditched this game because I couldn't set the resolution high enough due to my HUGE pen.. screen. But this seems to have pretty bad graphics anyways, what have I done? :(

  • @antiperspirantti you need to add a thing to the end of the target box in launch settings. like "1024 w 690 h" but check that cus im not sure my thing there is right.

  • Do you know the name of this trailer's music ?

  • Its a shame that no one plays this game online anymore. I have the 1.1 patch is that the reason why?

  • "mothership"

  • homeworld 3 must be made or i will march into the sierra and make them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheMikevella and ill help ya

  • @luizbernard000 thx 

  • guide-homeworld2. blogspot. com site fait pour tout joueur Homeworld = )

  • For all the fans of Homeworld there will be NO Homeworld 3! All the hope is gone, so stop crying and move on.

  • homeworld is for me the best space game..

    i love it, and i want a homeworld 3

  • One of my favourite games. Great video!

  • Who think that this game can be an Nice movie?

  • @VaygrX

    hm, i don't wanna see a homeworld movie since i like the game(s) and movies based on computer games tend to suck

  • @VaygrX if they make it a movie they will ruin it with weak plots and cheap sexual persuits. just look at BSG!!

    if you want an involving story for homeworld, then an RPG or X4 type games is all i can think of.

  • @huntercd you got a point they ruined BSG but stil homeworld doenst have much of an explanaition the history is kinda lose you know

  • @luizbernard000 I really liked BSG

  • @thunderlock110 every geek, nerd or fan of any SCI-FI liked it (but only the first seasons)

  • @luizbernard000 Im not a real fan of SCI-FI BSG was the only show i watched

  • @thunderlock110 ok ;D

  • VERY GOOD GAME.

  • I had homeworld 2 but I lost the cd and I cant find it. Noooo. It is a great game by the way, missions are just a bit hard.

  • this game is easy to cheat on

  • I was disappointed with this game. Was too much like the original. Cataclysm was better:)

  • @Andreware I agree that it is disappointin, but for different reasons, I think this is too different, too fast paced, the first one gives you time to slowly buld your fleet and their formations, this one is too simplistic, and I hate that you enter hyperspace automatically. I agree with Cataclysm being superior to this one.

  • this game is amazing just bought it a few days ago a very challenging and worthy game indeed

  • when will they make homeworld 3. it has to be done sooner than later

  • Homeworld 2 is an Epic game.

    I just Love Relic homeworld and warhammer 40k one of the best RTS I have ever played.

    The fights in HW2 are awesome just like they were in 1 just zoom in and it feels like you are watching sci-fi movie :D

  • music seemed kinda cheesy, still a great game

  • the homeworld saga is quite easily one of the best group of games i or anyone has ever played

  • @Deyyhayederaned its not the real trailer its just a mobie of the toturial/first mission

  • It's definately one of my favorite game series.

  • oldskool gaming!!!

    i still play this game from time to time,still superb!

  • another classic game!!!

  • Homeworld? Sounds like a take-off of "Homeland (Security)" - Dick Cheney's fabrication! We have no enemies outside this planet, so this is a lot of fuel wasted killing ourselves!

  • played first part years ago !

    i was a kid, and didnt understood most of the things.

    lol

  • @Physconaut Were You hiding in cave for few years? heh Homeworld games are classic.

    There is Homeworld, Homeworld: Cataclysm and Homeworld 2, first Homeworld games were better than 2 part, try them You won't regret that for sure, truly magnificent story, atmosphere and music.

  • This game is honestly the best space strategy game I have ever played. Add to this the "point defense systems" mod and this game becomes the most epic game I have EVER played. If you like sci-fi/ real time strategy games, you will love homeworld.

  • @russiangangsta41 I really liked HW and HWC. But when I first got HW 2, I started to hate it from the beginning, "End times because of 3rd core?" oh please we all know the properties of the HS-cores, and they alone don't make apocalypse (weak story). Then we have the mothership with absolutely no cover (where did the Hiigaran fleet go?). They erased the important formations. And my interceptors go for 3 miles away between each attack. Also I cannot redefine the pause button. Etc, etc, etc.

  • Yeah Homeworld, Homeworld Cataclysm, and Homeworld are the best rts game ever created! @russiangangsta41

  • what do you do in this game it looks cool but i wanna know first

  • its a space rts, very good

  • @fubbyquacker EPIC GAME!

  • in this game you manage a mother ship and a fleet of warship that follow you from mission to mission in other to save you "newly aquired" homeworld (earth, even if its not named as it, it really looks like it :P). Its worth the cash you'll put on it, if you like strategy games. Its more eye candy then Hmw 1 and cataclysm who are both way more tactical, but you can still make some nice strategy :P

  • what's the music??

  • Before you guys go downrate this comment, it translates to: "Epic video!".

  • @bloodelves88 thanx for the translation

  • anyone knows make a homeworld 2 map? message me plz!

  • @ScrewedSongsStudio ...no..

    why would you even think that ;~;

  • nope its a whole different universe a own one, and this strategy game is nothing short of epic, much much more than the 40k games.

  • I love the eve mod.
