In my opinion, the text itself is not extraordinary, but how it was voice-acted.

I agree with you there TopAce :) Cordova is probably the best of the "standard" squadron leaders you get in the game.

From the ancient cutscene:

Quote
We know when we entered subspace we were trespassers.
But our planet is our home.

And yet still they came.
And our world is gone.


The text ist not that special, but together with the video, the music and the way it's read I found it pretty dramatic.
"I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it." - D. Lynch

Most of Petrarch's command briefings were pretty good as well, especially the last one or two where he was talking about the Shivan fleet around Capella.  His ending monologue was also great.  Robert Loggia is the man. :D

"When ink and pen in hands of men Inscribe your form, bipedal P They draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability, no eyes could ever soak in all the places you anoint, and yet to see you all at once we only need the point.

I really liked just about everything Petrarch said in both of the end cutscenes, especially where he references "the old poet".

:nod: Cordova's voice acter was rather excellent, not just as Cordova, but as the Aquitaine's communication officer every time you have to pull it out of a mess.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.

:blah: there was a thread in my forum on this very same topic.

but, what the hell:

Bosch: I demand unfettered access to the Deneb (or is it Sirius?) jump node.
Alpha 3: Command, the rebel leader is on that base!
Command: That's impossible, pilot. Admiral Bosch is in the Polaris system.

^^^^^^^^^^^^The first and only time Command has been in denial. :lol:

I'm preety sure we can all agree on one.. DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!!!!!!!


Gosh, that scared the heck out of me when I first played that. I went up instead of diving and I think the Sathanas collided with me and killed me, and after that I turned the sound down and then played it. :p

Yeah, cordova's voice actor had quite a unique voice. It's been a while since I have looked at the credits but who played him?

I was just looking through IMDb and found that Ronny Cox(Robert Kinsey in SG-1) played admiral bosch. I never guessed that and StarGate SG-1 is one of my favorite TV shows. :p

Cobra, it's Sirius. Because I remember him saying he would withdraw his forces from Deneb.

Who played Command? That guy had an awesome voice too.

The "Dive, Dive, Dive, hit your burners pilot" is the only one I can think of right now. I will probably remember a different one that I like better later.

Well I knew Robert Loggia from independance day so that is how I used the credits to find out. Has anyone ever heard these actors voices in different films, and matched their names from the films and FS2 credits?
