Title: FreeSpace2 Title
Post by: Pegasus V on August 13, 2002, 04:25:50 am
Is there any established name for FreeSpace2? If not, what do you think would be a good name for the FreeSpace2 campaign?

Suggestions:


I like the first one.

How can this topic have never been discussed? I'm sure it has, and I apologise.

Wasn't it called "Colossus" in some countries?

Freespace 2 : Colossus was a demo version of Freespace consisting of The first few missions of the campaign. It was given away in the UK with Wingman Force 3D joysticks at one point (that's how come I got a copy). However I already had FS2 so I never bothered installing it :)
 It comes on one CD so it's obviously not the full product though :)

FS2 Collosus is the OEM version of FS. It has all the ships and all the VPs and everything, but it only has the firt disc of the main campaign. It's a lot smaller however, so it's giood to keep installed for a FREDder or MODder to use if they don't play the main campaign much. It doesn't come with FRED however, so you need to copy fred2.exe from the full version.

I think Freespace 2 : Collosus suits as a good title for the whole game though.

my first joystick, a logitech wingman force feedback, came with Freespace 1 (both CDs... full version)... i think that's how many people came to know Freespace

In the FS universe Petrarch refers to the events in the game as the Battle of Capella as an overall summing up title in the end cutscene. So if that's what you're looking for there it is.

Hmm.... I was browsing in the special folder *the Extras for those of you w/ the SOTY Edition* Under music, there's a Notepad document that says something like this: I used biblical names to keep in tune with the original "Exodus" subtitle, which was dropped, and for inspiration. Plus, let's face it, some of the books have awfully cool names. : )

Ok sleep deprived.

Freespace: The users strike back.

Freespace 3

Freespace: Now your gonna get it!

The Ultimate Freespace

Galactic Emperor's World (you're just living in it!) :lol:

Freespace: Reciprocity [Inspired by the campaign and the fact that the events of FS1 cause FS2. I think it was the missing small shvian scout force thingy, ah yeah the Lucifer and it's battlegroup)

Freespace: Cause you don't own it jack!

:mad2:  Don't care must play!!!

Just a few examples of my thinking... Hope you enjoyed it.

Exodus would be a bloody good subttile... reflects almost exactly what happens to the GTVA in Capella, and what the Shivans may have been trying to do.

Admiral Petrach states
"If we don't hold off the Shivans in Capella then we will unleash a second great war into our systems, which will mean certain armageddon for us all."


So it wasn't quite the second great war, because we did hold them off in Capella.

Class of the Titans was also the name of a 2-part mission in FS2. (the one with the Bastion is Part 2.)

Post by: CP5670 on August 19, 2002, 11:18:04 pm
On a side note, I think that the High Noon mission should have been the one called Clash of the Titans II, since the current one does not really have an enemy "titan" in it. (there is just the Bastion and a few cruisers)

The Britany comment is a reference to the fact that THQ would rather bring out games based on Britany than buy the licence to FS3.

Sub titles are ludicrous. What's wrong with "Arcanum", but no, it has to be "Arcanum, of steamworks and magic obscura" or "Operation Flashpoint, cold war crisis"

I mean "Conflict, Freespace, the Great War" is bad enough.

Hows about-

Freespace 2:  the one after the last one.  You know, the one with the spiky evil red things and the really big ships?  Yeah, that one.  but with an even bigger ship and more spiky things...er, just buy it, eh?

or

Freespace 2: Killing is good.

That way, FS2 would have got loadsa headlines in the sun, Daily Mirror et al and survived the curse of the tiny advertising budget.

I can probably find you a hundred other Slashers on the internet; did you copyright the word or something? :rolleyes: (besides, I have seen him with that name on the VBB many times)

If you're actually serious about all that, all I can say is that human stupidity has reached a new low. Also, it looks like you need to go back to kindergarten and learn some proper spelling and grammar. :rolleyes:

Sorry if I intruded on your name, I honestly had no such intention.  I for one have never come across another Slasher.  

I've had this name since early 2000, and believe it or not, I chose it because I figured it'd be somewhat original and unused.
