Sounds about right.

[Nuclear1]

Oh crap. I think I meant Allied Forces or something.

[Droid803]

Hmm...
The wiki doesn't have anything on that, or Jake Wars for that matter...
Never mind that, I've found it on FSMods.

[Thaeris]

Jake Wars, eh? What was that about? 

[redsniper]

Jake is the bad guy. You fight him.

[Mongoose]

I know I've had that downloaded for years, but I've never managed to get around to playing it.  Maybe I should; I could use a good chuckle.

[utops]

Jake has connection with a space satan

[Snail]

Jake Wars isn't quite as ridiculous as SGWP2.

[NGTM-1R]

I'm going to assume you mean in terms of be-all end-all BEAMMZZZZZZ insanity.

[Kosh]

^-- 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.

Where did BR go? I haven't seen him around in a long while. Realy shame too since he had a number of top notch campaigns.

I'm going to defend an earlier entry of the Second Great War Part 2. It was in fact epic, in the sense that it was an epic fail. I remember trying to play it way back in the day, most of the missions were broken and wouldn't run at all, not to mention the various things wrong with the design. Perfect example of what not to do.

Um...I've played through SGWP2 a few different times, and the one thing it doesn't have wrong with it are any show-stopping bugs.  Hell, I didn't really come across any noticeable minor glitches, either.  Its plot is a mess, its mission design is questionable at best, and its grammar is atrocious, but mechanically, it's a perfectly-playable campaign.

(And I'll still stand by my assertion that it's an immensely-entertaining experience.  It's the B-movie of FS2 campaigns. )

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I've played SGWP2 a few times as well, and agree with Mongoose. It has fewer bugs than ST:R, PI and BP:AoA, i.e. none, but everything beyond the technical stability of it is ... questionable.

[Vrets]

mechanically, it's a perfectly-playable campaign.

That's probably what makes SGWP2 so epic. The writing and FREDing are insanely awful, but there are no game-breaking technical issues. The author had to have gone over his work endless times, polishing for stability, without realising that anything was amiss.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if SGWP2 was intended as a farce.

[SpardaSon21]

There is a single issue where the author forgot to make you exit a SOC loop after completing all SOC missions, so the entire campaign past the loop has a big "Exit Loop" button.

[Mongoose]

Heh, that's right, there is that.  It does allow you to keep playing without incident, though, provided you don't press the Big Red Button.

When did you play it? When I tried it (and noticed very little worked) was back in 2005.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I tried it a few months back, Kosh. If you want to try it yourself, visit FSMods and get the vp version. It should work perfectly on any nightly 3.6.10. And I say 3.6.10 because I've yet to finish it using 3.6.12 Inferno.

No, not really. The readme claims that only one person tested the first few missions once, "and he said it was really good".

[TopAce]

The readme also said it was a well put together campaign.

See?  Sometimes dumb luck does win the day!
