Am I right in thinking there is a version of this for the Remastered version of Crysis 2 as well now?

Writing-wise, Enemies United is a literary masterwork of narrative composition, eloquent wordplay, and gratuitous beamz. Battle a formidable, unique and inspired opponent, the NHOL, amidst a backdrop of thrilling intrigue and chilling wonder in the depths of space where no one has gone before. Truly, Enemies United may even unseat Eser Guven's pearl of FreeSpace excellence, the award-winning "Surprise"!

FRED-wise, it's actually not very janky at all - missions are short and mostly play themselves, there's not much "dead time", it's not a frustrating playthrough. Definitely a single stream, maybe with time for some Blighted at the end

Writing-wise, Enemies United is a literary masterwork of narrative composition, eloquent wordplay, and gratuitous beamz. Battle a formidable, unique and inspired opponent, the NHOL, amidst a backdrop of thrilling intrigue and chilling wonder in the depths of space where no one has gone before. Truly, Enemies United may even unseat Eser Guven's pearl of FreeSpace excellence, the award-winning "Surprise"!

Mission & Campaign Releases / Re: RELEASE: Big Bad Shivans

« Last post by Kie99 on August 31, 2025, 06:25:13 pm »

Played this last night, enjoyed it, nice work.  I enjoy the parallel campaign bit and found the missions fun.  I only played it once, but it certainly had the feel that what I was doing was influential.

There was an issue in the first one where I cleared the enemies, then just had to wait a couple of minutes while the convoy reached the node.  Normally if the enemies can expire before the escort is complete you'd have some dialogue to fill the dead time or they'd say something like "That looks like the last of them" and tell you to RTB.

There was a bit of tonal whiplash at times, going between an out and out comedy campaign and serious military missions.  The "will rise again" Easter Egg in particular was just annoying, putting you back to the start of the mission with no chance of survival.  Don't think I got the other ones.

Overall it was a good time, though.

A super old campaign called Enemies United got put up on Knossos - I want to convince Joe to play it, but that kind of torture might be a violation of the Beta Aquilae Convention 

Ironically enough, Joe asked me to put out a general call to the community for additional campaigns to put on the list.   I haven't played Enemies United myself, although I see that Paladin is streaming it.  Is it good?  How much jank is there?

Other campaigns that need to be on the list:
Casualties of War
Casualties of War II
