There are only 2000 copies up for grabs apparently, well 1999 as far as i know now

I think there are 20 campaigns maybe playermade, maybe not so thats the real deal difference.

EDIT: A new Freespace 2 page? Or has it been moved for a while now?

If you havent noticed, its 10 on their top 10 sellers list. Good news imo.

only reason for that is Websites like volitionwatch and HLP and the community in general. they have done JACK **** in advertising.

Interplay's had their own FS2 page for a while.

[Killfrenzy]

Yeah, but look at the last time they added 'news!'

[StratComm]

Oh, the irony... the 'new' Freespace 2 page is 6 years old

Not sure if it was passed or not yet, but I remember reading it in Time

The thing is, though, with this on the horizon, and possibly huge legal battles over open-source, I doubt Intercrap would risk a release with open-source code.

[Unknown Target]

It's pointless to get, tho.
You can get:

A) FS2 for free.

B) The updated FS2 for free.

C) and all the new crap that they're adding in---for free!

[Dough with Fish]

The first two things, yes, but how do we all know for 100% that the new content isn't actually new content, that has never been seen before? I know that chances that [V] put together a new mission set are slimmer than slim, but there is still that chance. Or they might just put some omitted missions in, or release the Colossus OEM mission set with it.

[Unknown Target]

You are talking about Interplay here.

Remember ST?

Six (right?) craptastic missions, and everything else was stolen from the community.

[DeepSpace9er]

If you look at the picture of the box real carefully Unknown, it says "20 Additional Missions included!." Now some of these could be Templar, or those expansion missions from a patch a long time ago, or they could be 20 new missions designed for the 20th aniversary of Interplay. Im starting to think its the former though.

Regardless if there is new content or not, I still want the CDs, the mve Cutscenes... ALL of them, and an item that will gain lots of value over the next few years. If you buy 2 copies, in a year you could sell the second copy brandnew on ebay for 3-4 times as much.

Colossus had the first 10 or so missions from FS2. Nothing new.

[Solatar]

just like people have said around here (even in this thread maybe) this is like an fs2 lover's signed baseball...

I just pulled out my box, the "Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition."  It has identical graphics to what's on the Interplay web store, and it also has the "Includes Over 20 additional missions!"  In the case of the sim of the year edition, this was the Templar campaign, and some others SP and MP missions.

I (sadly) agree with your guess that there will be no additional content -- not any new eye candy on the box.  I'll probably still buy it, and hide the receipt from my wife ;-)

[Starks]

I have the same Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition.

[Dough with Fish]

Oh..... I have just heard scant few things here and and there about the Colossus OEM missions, and, I assumed, that it had you doing something more directly related to the Colossus....

[Akalabeth Angel]

I would have thought it would make more sense to let people who don't have the game, buy it instead of people who already have it, gobbling up all the copies. That way the community could be expanded upon, with fresh faces and talent joining it. That's not to say that all 2000 copies will be sold to previous owners by any means, but it is some food for thought.

[Black Wolf]

On theother hand, several hundred existing community copies being sold would help boost Interplay's sales potential figures, and perhaps extend the run past 2000 copies.
