Author Topic: Most epic campaigns?  (Read 20242 times)

Of course, you can be sure that BP: WiH would qualify once it's released (it wouldn't be epic, but EPIC!!!, like songs by Rhapsody of Fire).

To play in the hands of Spoon, and because I have to admit, it sounds way better:

It will be GLORIOUS!

There, that's better.
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

The Babylon Project? Raider Wars and Fortune Hunters campaigns.

Thanks. Look forward to the ultimate Fortune Hunters edition soon, including voices, improved balancing as well as a few multiplayer missions. I am currently planning my next campaign, not sure if I may do a Freespace Campaign for once.
Need to beat the crap out of that scenario as well  :lol: To few super-epic missions around there.


You already played Freespace: Silent Threat Reborn yes?

Most epic. Hmm...

In no particular order:

1) Blue Planet
2) Just Another Day
3) Dawn of Sol
4) Warzone
5) Derelict
6) The Second Great War Part 2
7) Into the Depths of Hell
8) Silent Threat: Reborn

Can't say I'd agree with that #3 pick, especially above #5. And #6, uh.

Just finished WARZONE and yes it was epic. Epic. Despite of easy to disarm ravanas i enjoy it.

Ps.
Spoiler:
After Rusik selfdestruct there was pink contact and enigmatic message - what was that? Somebody figured it out?
What if ?

Was Warzone the one where the last (or close to last) mission involved
Spoiler:
Having to disarm a Ravana, then race to blow up a Shivan Comm Node before some timer expired?

That mission was a lot of fun, but I don't remember anything else about the campaign it was in. :)

Cardinal. Spear.

I love this! No shields, fun weapons, and the tone of the campaign very much fits in with what I think the feel of being an officer with the GTA would be like during the T-V war. I really need to get the concept art for the GTB Gorgon up and done sometime...  ;7

^-- win.

Also, Twilight, which is different but fun, and has a few cool missions.  Then the BWO demo.  Oh, and don't forget those Blaise Russel campaigns which weren't listed (he made quite a few) -- the two Shrouding the Light campaigns, Echo Gate and Phantoms, Fall of Epsilon Pegasi, etc.  My favorite of all his campaigns would probably have to be the Shrouding the Light series.  For some old-school nostalgia, Lightning Marshal 3 and 4 were really good.  And for some really old-school nostalgia, try Technological Superiority.

Ah yes... the first mission of Twilight. A fun idea, but it could have been done a bit better.

I think this thread is turning into the thread I'd been planning to make recently, asking people to talk about some of their favorite "overlooked" campaigns that don't get included in the Derelict/BP/Transcend/etc. "What's the best?" listing.  I know I've probably overlooked a few gems myself, and it'd be good to spread awareness about some of the works out there that don't get mentioned that much.

Among many others, I'll throw in a plug for the Ancient-Shivan War's initial release myself.  While it is true that the missions don't do anything remarkably out-of-the-box, and that the Act 1 campaign is relatively short, it's still a solid and fun experience.  What really stands out, however, is the overall atmosphere, which is flat-out incredible.  You genuinely feel like you're a member of an ancient, powerful, arrogant species who views the entire galaxy as being their sole dominion.  The prose, the interface, the music, the overall tone of the writing...they're all top-notch.  The old Ancient fleet models are used to great effect, and given a shiny new coat of paint to boot.  It was one of the more immersive experiences I've had in this game, and I can't wait to see how the team follows it up.

Another vote for Cardinal Spear. Some weird mod choices, but awesome nonetheless.

I played it in one sitting I believe, didn't find it *that* epic, TBH. But that's my opinion.

Then the BWO demo.

I agree. That was pretty good for its time, voice-acting and all.

I though Shrouding the Light was pretty epic.  Now if only that new PVN showed up in it...
