Transcend. Aside from the writer's bias of storytelling uber alles, the campaign was considerably better constructed on a FRED level then BP, or for that matter anything before or since, because it was considerably more complex.
In fact, I challenge everyone who voted BP to go back and play the last mission of Transcend again and tell me that's not pure unadulterated awesome on a scale never achieved anywhere else.
What? No FOW?

I think he's a bit of a noob. Despite his post count.
I voted Procryon Insurgency. The most true to the feel of FS2 campaigns that's on that list.
Bit of a noob?
Ouch im terribly hurt by your well-constructed insult. :blah: My feelings shall never be the same again. :rolleyes:

Well if you've been away for a while it takes a bit to get caught up. Evidenced by the lack of a few campaigns on the poll (notably the aforementioned Homesick and Flames of War which are both quite long). Casualties of War might also be a little longer as its got two chapters, though I've not yet played it.
That's the problem with these polls. People always forget to add <whatever> and then someone will get mad when their favourite isn't there. Whether its favourite fighter, ship, squadron, campaign, etcetera
Well if you're so intelligent to point out the 'problem with these polls', why would you compound the problem further and get mad because I accidently left someones favourite? :rolleyes:Dude, you take offense far too easily. Calm down. The other guy wasn't mad, and neither was he singling you out.
Alkabeth, your 'noob' comment was uncalled for. If VC simply forgot to put FoW in, it does not make him i noob.
I've played Transcend only recently and in my opinion, Blue Planet exceeds it.
FRED'ing
Cutscenes
hell it even introduced new small clips of 'command' speaking. Never seen a campaign do that before.
If you find one that does, let me know.

Things ive taken into account are ;
Visuals (e.g New star backgrounds)
Sound (inc new music)

I'm of the idea that there is no be-all-end-all campaign out thereI am.
I am.
You can probably guess which one.
:D
Favourite released campaign
Transcend is the most FRED-effort-intensive campaign I've ever seen released (PI and Alakabeth's "Meditations" following very closely)

He didn't call you a noob, but you seem to be doing just fine earning the title yourself.
Or I'd just laugh. Calling someone a noob is not enough to earn you a custom title. Acting like a noob, however, often is.
Anyway, I've been around HLP long enough to generally know when someone is truly insulting someone, versus when someone is just kidding around, versus when someone is talking about something completely different.
Inferno is pretty great, but the models are now awfully outdated and the mission design is too simplistic.I think the main thrust for the hate towards Inferno is caused by the acronym jungle that makes The Bold and the Beautiful burn. And the fact that at least InfR1 was there
The story doesn't grab or immerse in the way that Blue Planet or Derelict did.
I respect and like Inferno and see no reason for all the hate sometimes directed its way, but it does have its weaknesses.
So how come Inferno wasn't rated so highly? I thought it would given the amount of awesome ship modelling put into it - missions are pretty good too. All it needed was some voice acting
I didn't find PI's story as engaging, in part because it was so derivative of FS2, and because it fizzled out with a lousy ending.
I did love PI, and it's one of the best campaigns out there, but it had its flaws -- including a mission full of clumsy exposition that was almost tearfully boring.
Some of you guys are really vicious in your criticism though , i know if i went and put weeks and months of effort into a campaign only for it to be verbally butchered by a disgruntled few in the community, id be pretty thrown back. Perhaps some of you should take into consideration the amount of time and effort put into campaigns, and whether or not you could do a better job of it yourself before you unleash such harsh criticism.
Well i thought PI was pretty damn good, but im pretty laid back and easy to satisfy when it comes to campaigns.

My personal favourite would have to be Blue Planet, with Transcend as a close 2nd. :)
I must be the only one that likes Sync more than Transcend. :nervous:
