I just finished playing through the campaign this morning. Great campaign by the way, although my playstyle ruined it somewhat. A few thoughts follow
- Cheaters are forgiven. The campaign lets you proceed even if you've given your fighter invincibility, everyone on your side invincibility, unlimited ammo, BFReds, etc. While the story is excellent, the fact that I could not lose (Its VERY TEMPTING to use cheats if I can) did dull the "Oh f***, we're the last humans against an army of bajillions, we're gonna die" effect of the alternate universe a bit.
- Totally called Earth being blown to bits, by the way, at the end of the first mission when a squadmate says "We're finally going to see Earth!" Is that okay?
- I was a tad disappointed that Sanctuary and her Fearsome Five of Fighters aren't in the Tech Room. Microsoft Sam is actually decent in the Tech Room, and I enjoy browsing the various ships in mods that have a lot of them. Inferno R1, for instance.
- I recognized the Vishnan ships as Ancients from the Inferno Tech Room, and as such, my opinion of them was a bit colored. I thought they'd be Ancients. Ah, well.
- Bador == F***ton of death.
- Frankenstein's Monsters gave me a bit of trouble. Even after completing the mission, it would be called a failure. I was so scared that the mod was bugged. Fortunately, a restart of FSOpen fixed the issue.
- Is WiH out yet?
- How about now?
- No? Now?
- Great job.
- Blam.
