Most impacting statement for you in FS2?
When you played FS2, what was the most impacting command briefing for you? I mean what made you actully feel sorry for the GTVA or made you rush with adrenaline when you heard it?

Mine would have to be the feel sorry one, I couldn't help but feel sorrow for the GTVA when I heard this statement:

"With over one hundred thousand casualties and more Shivans incoming, we have no hope of holding Capella."

"Alpha 1, meet the Colossus, the largest space faring warship ever constructed!" (or something like that)

*stares in awe at the 6km ship*

I still remember the first time I played... ;) :p

EDIT:
DAMN :mad:

probably, the message about 80 something sathanas orbiting the capella star and more incoming.

The Bosch monoloques I think, they were the most dramatic.

I don't remember any Command Briefings, but I do remember when I met the Ravana and Sathanas, thinking, "Jesus ****ing Christ, this thing is gigantic" while banking out so I wouldn't become bug splatter on a Shivan window while reading (HotU Version) the chatter

EDIT: Oh yeah, that briefing just before the first incursion with the Shivans in FS2, all I could think was "Not again"

I still like Petrarch's last monologue, especially the inclusion of the Hamlet quote.  Robert Loggia was really perfect for that role.  I'd also second the "no hope for Capella" briefing, as well as "this is our Alamo," although I can't remember exactly which briefing the latter one was from.

Those two are actually from the same 'briefing' - the first and last lines, respectively, of Petrarch's chapter summary right before Their Finest Hour.

and yeah, that one was the best.

Someone find that quote (alamo one) and pop it in their post please.

Most of the game was.. impacting to me, first few times. I have not played regular campaign in a while so im not sure.

Il 3rd the capella one.

I did feel sorry for the GTVA in many points in the campaign. Oh, and.. the vasudans, i alwasy feel sorry for them. Their home planet glassed.

Our exodus from capella, the largest one sence sol(?), gone wrong, with 80+ sathanis's and loosing over half of them, 100,000 casuilties.

Probably the briefing on the Knossos; I remembered well the ending of FS1 and Earth being cut off. The Knossos came completely out of left field for me: the multiple Sathanas juggernauts at Capella didn't.

Yeah, being cut off sucks.
Just think if all the head campaign makers, and freders and moders, after finsihging their projects, came togeather to make a HLP made mega campaign, to keep the {V} style of fs2, and make one that most of us conciter.. the next fs. So we can all have answers fufilled, and new questions to ask.. like returning to earth. Is it glassed or are they ok?

Man..

This is our Alamo pilots. We hold them here, or we die trying.

Hmmm... I thought Inferno was the closest we'd ever get to a FS3alike. What changed?

"Sorry - you've outlived your usefulness as a deep cover operative, pilot."

The way it was stated, I was expecting the GTVA to turn on me.
