Lol, k, so, just on the curiousness factor, which campaigns, if a Hall of Fame existed on HLP, would u think earn the right of being in there? Oh, and don't say Derelict, cuz i know that's already one that u'r all gonna say!:p

[Blitzerland]

Homesick.

Especially the T-V Battlefield part...and the GTVI nebula (so the GTVA already HAD found a nebula...)...and the part with the ten suns("Horrible...how can it even work that way?!"), and they find the shivans...SO MANY MOMENTS!

Homesick. Yup. Homesick is THE campaign.

[JR2000Z]

Warzone.

[InfernoGod]

can't let my vote go un-noticed, lol, so, i vote BlackWater Operations and Machina Terra as possible cadidates for the Hall of Fame
and, let's add MindGames to that list.

[Blitzerland]

Dues Ex Machina.

A very creative game. Really awesome twist on the genre. Can't leave that one out


Oh! Oh! And Just Another Day had a lot of great improvements over DEM. I thought it was better, in fact.

That's my (uh...1...2...3...) three cents.

[NGTM-1R]

For greatest, I'd have to say Homesick. It pwnz my soul, particularly since Homesick involved absolutely no mods but was great anyways. The characters, the storyline, everything was good. My favorite moments from that were the destruction of the Guevera, the moment when you suddenly realize that you're looking at a Rakshasa and it's the Shivans, and the raid on the GTVI cargo depot. The references to the Hades and the Colossus were also pretty funny.

Derelict would have beat it, but there were some kinda obvious errors in the FREDding. (One that really comes to mind is when the Cypher said it was firing, but it didn't actually fire.) On the other hand, nothing quite compares with the "Oh HELL" moment when you hear the Narlathotep transmit a Shivan signal.

Deus Ex Machina (You know you're playing a great humor campaign when the first thing you scan has a cargo of "Deep Plot Holes") and Just Another Day are tied for best humor campaign. DEM made me laugh more often, but I laughed longer about Just Another Day.

[GoulMeister]

BWO looks great and is my candidate for the Hall of Fame, Homesick is the best non mod campaign ever.

[silverwolf]

can any one point me to Just another day so i can look at it myself.

if i have to vote i would have to say INF chapter 1 did have its moments. for instance when you see the nemisis do a nano subspace jump on i believe it was the independence and you think HOLY ****

[Blitzerland]

Inf. Chapter 1 DID have its moments, like when the GIGAS jumps in!!! Nano-jumping?! HA! That doesn't even compare (that was pretty cool though).

Heck, Inferno should win this just for the large amount of new ships. But since this is about missions....the Gigas mission is awesome. End of story.

But I think Homesick should win. It had way more 'moments,' and some cool character development (Beta 4's Seth, anyone? ).

[Lightspeed]

IMO those tons of new ships are just the reason Inferno would LOSE this. No wantey to risk flames or anything here, though.

The best campaign ever is, of course, Homesick. Derelict ain't bad either, but it doesn't reach Homesick's quality BY A MILE.

Homesick isn't just a campaign. I'll say it once more, it's THE campaign.

[TopAce]

I played three user made campaigns yet: Derelict, Homesick and DEM. None of them belong to the Hall of fame. Derelict rather belongs to the hall of shame.

[Mad Bomber]

Derelict would be in the hall of fame, if not for three things:

1) Second loop, mission 3: What the crap is going on!? Yeah, you're under attack, by cloaked fighters, but you have no support because your friends die so quickly, so you're left with a choice of stopping the jamming and getting the plot moving, or protecting the ship.

It's ludicrous, and no explanation is given at all for half the events in the loop. Considering how long it takes for campaigns to be released, I'd rather know something now than wait four years for answers.

2) After the halfway point, no effort whatsoever was made to mess with the Team Loadout screen. You could get Terran Maras and Kaysers about half the time. Bah I say.

3) A good number of the Section 3 missions seemed rushed. Extremely so.

Despite this, Derelict has a lot of good moments ("Wake up sleepyhead!"), and would be in the hall of fame if these bugs were fixed. The level of civilian involvement (especially in the early missions) is something that I have yet to see emulated in any other campaigns save Homesick. Loop2-1 especially impressed me on this score -- even 20 minutes into the mission, transports are still coming and going. GTVA Navy vessels aren't the only things in space, people!

In the hall of fame for me would be:

- Warzone (A lot of good gameplay, despite the slight bias towards bombing missions. This was the campaign that taught me how to dogfight in a Boanerges with Maxim cannons.)
- Homesick (this actually inspired my current project, Heroes for Hire... this is THE campaign. Seriously.)
- Awakenings (Yeah, it's FS1, but who cares? I'm just waiting for the ported version... *pokes the FSPort team*)

[ionia23]

I'm in agreement on that.  "Derelict" was awesome beyond description.  It was so good, in my opinion, that with some debugging, voice acting, and a few mods it would have made an excellent expansion pack to FS2, like Silent Threat was to FS1, only better.

[Gloriano]

Twilight. Awakenings,Warzone and Derelict belong to Hall of Fame

oh and Homesick too

[Kosh]

Derelict, Warzone, Sol: A history, and homesick

[ionia23]

I definately should have included Sol, Homesick, and hell, anything written for Inferno.

Blackwater Ops would be in there too pending it was more complete.  It has the added advantage of voice acting.

[Akalabeth Angel]

I played three user made campaigns yet: Derelict, Homesick and DEM. None of them belong to the Hall of fame. Derelict rather belongs to the hall of shame.

      Interesting analysis, what exactly is bad about Derelict? I know that a few of the missions I played didn't work correctly, nor did I ever get to play the final loop mission (versus the upgraded Orion).

      A few of the problems I had with Derelict were storyline considerations, like shivans ships which regenerated or the few subspace missions. But on the whole it was fairly enjoyable.

       I'm actually going to be mentioning the Derelict plot in my own Campaign. It won't have any significance other than talking about its economic impact. The main reason is actually because I was going to use the Saphah. Cool ship.

[InfernoGod]

Wow, I see that Warzone and Homesick would be *definate* winners. I'd agree with Inferno too, but I think it's a little too early to actually place it somewhere. It could pull a Reciprocity, like so many other great campaigns are...

[Lightspeed]

Nah, Inferno is too popular for that to happen.

[Axem]

I am ashamed to say that I play barely any user made campaigns, exceptions being Homesick and DEM. I tried Inferno but my interests went somewhere else before I could play much of it.

I have a few backlogged Mods I've been meaning to play but I'm waiting to get my new computer to enjoy them in SCPy goodness.

Back on topic, Homesick, no contest.
