Title: Freespace 2 voices and briefings...
Post by: sabaoth on January 09, 2006, 04:34:16 pm: Hi, I just purchased a copy of Freespace 2 off of eBay and installed it on my computer
(I had looked to see if it was free online.. apparently I didn't look enough)
I was just wondering if any of you found the briefing and training voices a bit odd.
I swear, it sounds like he's trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner or something! The
voices sound totally different than in the Freespace 2 demo. Did I receive a bogus
copy or something? The CDs look totally legit and everything, but the ingame
voices don't have that realistic sound like there was in Freespace 1 and the
Freespace 2 demo. It's like the voice acting was done by entirely different people.

Thanks...

(I'm not sure, but it's a possibility)

I'm using headphones btw.. -.-

Thanks for the replies!
