Title: HOTU Download question
Post by: halfsteel on February 22, 2003, 01:37:07 pm: well, i downloaded Freespace2 off of the HOTU webiste.

Im kinda dissapointed with it. I miss the voices, its kinda not as much fun to play with out having the voices.

Im wondering, does anyone have the missing files to download, and if you do is it legal of me to download them?

I really want to play the complete game.

Post by: CP5670 on February 22, 2003, 02:48:06 pm: Yeah, the version on HOTU is quite minimalist, with everything except absolutely essential files dropped out; if I remember correctly there are no movies, voices, music, briefing animations or high-res graphics, which would really impact the SP campaign experience. I remember someone saying here that they had put the rest of the files on kazaa a few days ago; check this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,13092.0.html) thread. It is quite legal to get the rest of the files as well, but the problem is that we don't have any place to upload everything at the moment.

I`ve got a mini FAQ about HotU added to my main FAQ. You can find it here (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/freespace/hotu.html)

If you really want to stay legal, I would think this your best option:

Amazon is not actually selling it themselves there (they are out of copies, I suppose); it is some independent guy.
