IIRC FS2 demo is just the first act of the full game campaign...

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
Negative, the first one is a crazy nebula mission that could be won in the Demo by spamming Rockeyes, the second was an escort mission.

Yes someone did. Hold up, I'll see if I can find it.

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
FS2Demo folder with a mod.ini that has the mediavps listed should do it. 

Just checked and it's already there but points to the 3.6.10 mediavps.

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
Okay, I cannot find it. Honestly, if you have the demo, it should be a fairly easy mod to make, especially since the advent of modular tables. If you spent a few hours converting it, you'd have it done. You could even post it to mods.\

There are considerable differences in the weapons IIRC

They came with at least one edition of FreeSpace...

The installer used to install them.  Can't see why those couldn't be distributed as they were free to begin with.

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
Man, I wore those two demo missions out before I was finally able to buy a copy of FS2.  I remember being completely blown away by the graphics.

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
W8, i have a Cd with wreespace that definitely ain't full, but you say it ain't demo either? Now that i look at it it says Freespace 2 OEM... It's all missions up to the 1st SOC loop. I dunno what it is nor where i got it but that's what i have.

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
Well, FreeSpace 2: Colossus is a "demo" of FS2.

The standalone demo missions you guys are talking about are Crisis in Capella and Crimson Skies. Good times.

Re: Freespace 2 demo missions
Ah, those were good missions. They showcased a good sample of what FS2 was capable of. Before I got the full version, I played that for quite a while.
