Post by: Cobra on January 26, 2005, 04:17:15 pm: I've beaten FS1 3 times, since i don't play it much. (it's not MOD friendly, although I've worked my way around that).

Cobra you must sit and stare at HLP for 5 hours straight to rack up those kind of numbers. Haven't you heard of IM or IRC?

How in the hell do you accumulate nearly 6000 posts in a little under 3 months? I've been here 2 year and have literally half his posts...Steak's been here since the begining and he doesn't have that many more...holy smokes at the spam...

First few entries will give you something. The .cfg file is in mv_core and mv_zpack, so if you have either one of those you should be able to login to Fs2NetD. (You have to register on burbsworld first, though)

Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Nuke on January 26, 2005, 06:50:58 pm: i dont know, about 4, fs1 about 3 times. i might play fs1 again under the freespace port, i tried to play fs2 under sfopen, i got to the vasudan exchange missions, then i lost my progress testing new builds. most games i beat em once and they get shelved (doom 3 for example). i rarely play a game more than once unless the game forks (as with tachyon) or just has multiple sides (starcraft, cfs2, cfs3). freespace is just the rare game that is just good and is worth playing multiple times.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Axem on January 26, 2005, 06:56:56 pm: I've played it start to finish only once. However when I did beat it, I didn't realize I did. I was playing with FSO and had no idea that the game ended, so I kept playing the last mission 5 times until I realized. "Hey, the game is over!"

And really, that's the only FS2 campaign I've ever beaten (aside from mine). I started a few fan-made campaigns but never finished them.

Post by: Hippo on January 26, 2005, 07:28:57 pm: FS1: 80-90 (not mod friendly? :wtf: ?)

Nuke: :nod:

Axem: finish those campaigns before we go medieval.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Axem on January 26, 2005, 08:46:13 pm: I meant I started playing fan-made campaigns, but never finished any of them. DEM would almost count, except I never won the last mission... (yes I know the readme tells you how, but I gave up on it after finding it)

If you look at the google link I provided, there are two Burbsworld results. They're right after the HLP ones. The URL is show below the text from each webpage.

Post by: Scuddie on January 26, 2005, 09:32:27 pm: I beat FS1 a few times, beat FS2 4 times, then I got tired of beating it. Until about a year and a half ago, Someone I know (Formerly known as (STW)Max_Sterling) told me to start fresh, set the difficulty to Very Hard, then delete the pilot if I fail a mission or die, and start all over again. For some reason, I still havent been able to beat it for a fifth time.

Post by: Primus on January 27, 2005, 01:30:58 am: @Cobra
You need some special build by Kazan(?) to play vanilla FS2 in FS2Net..

And I've played FS2.. Uhm, 'bout 8 times.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Ransom on January 27, 2005, 01:34:47 am: FS2 about 10 or so times, replaying it again now. Only played FS1 twice, though. Never really felt moved to play it again after that.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Moonsword on January 27, 2005, 06:31:08 am: It's not Kazan, it's someone else. Look for the 'old build' sticky in the SCP forum.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Lightspeed on January 27, 2005, 09:50:15 am: "Beaten FS2..." that's a tough one.

Once. After around two years actively on PXO.

I've lost much since then, and it would probably take at least a year to get back to that point where you have truly mastered the game, however. Even longer with the SCP, probably, as things just feel different (and look pretttyyyy).
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: Carl on January 27, 2005, 09:55:04 am: more times than i remember. at least more than five.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: TopAce on January 27, 2005, 11:33:46 am: FS1: Around 9-10 times
FS2: Maybe eight times
I play any other mods merely once.

Post by: Cabbie on January 28, 2005, 06:51:02 am: Maybe around 10 or 15 times for both FS and FS 2. I kinda like to play single missions more, over and over then go through the whole campaign and beat it. :)

:welcome:

Getting blown up by the nova is completing it. There should be a cinematic after you die. You can also live if you get to the node and jump out, if you start heading there before the supernova starts, but personally I think the death ending is far better. Though it's worth getting the other one as well for the different speech.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: nyg on February 03, 2005, 07:34:06 am: Ahh... Well I kinda suspected it, though I'd like to try the other ending once.
Great game, but must admit I liked the ending of the great war better, I was not in doubt about having completed that one.

Thanks, now I can move on to the multiplayer missions ... :-D

2 tons of homeworld is nothing compared to a baby boy. Or a Wife for that matter.

Use a Perseus and stay close to the node.
Title: How Many Times Have You Beaten FS2?
Post by: TopAce on February 04, 2005, 02:59:28 pm: If you are close to the node, it does not make much difference which fighter you are flying. I say take the craft you like the most(the faster the better) and after ten minutes, go for the node. Capella goes nova somewhere around the 11th or the 12th minute.
