i played the silent threat that came with fs open. int he description it says its the original made by volition, but you can tell by the breifing voice that it was fan made. am i right?

[LordPomposity]

No, you're not.

There's a reason Silent Threat Reborn was made.

EDIT: Corrected for semantics.

[Jeff Vader]

Silent Threat is Silent Threat. Silent Threat: Reborn is not Silent Threat.

[Commander Zane]

If you're just playing Silent Threat, it is the original Volition-made campaign.
You're not playing Silent Threat: Reborn which was made by HLP that greatly improves on the original campaign.
Also note nowhere will ST:R say that it is the original. If it does say it's the original, then you're playing the original.

So can I have your ass now?

[Jeff Vader]

Arse.

[LordPomposity]

Here's a hint to help you figure out whether you're playing Silent Threat or Silent Threat Reborn. Spoiler is quite minor.

If you encounter a ship named the

Spoiler:

GTD

then you're playing Volition's Silent Threat.

Seriously.

That's what that campaign is like.

SGWP2 is at least funny.

To add confusion to the matter, chunks of the original Silent Threat were made by fans entering in a competition.

I play ST as a decent "turn off your mind and shoot" campaign. It's pretty good as that, but yet it's hard to believe that this is an official expansion for a successful game.

[CP5670]

I don't think ST was that bad. The first mission was a really cool idea, and the next two were decent too. It became progressively worse after that though, with the final mission being the worst.

If you encounter a ship named the

Spoiler:

GTD

then you're playing Volition's Silent Threat.

That is supposed to indicate that you can't identify the ship.

No, the campaign itself didn't include the fan-made missions.  Those were listed as single missions playable through the Tech Room, including all seven missions of the excellent Destiny of Peace campaign.  Seriously, that was better than the actual Silent Threat.

[LordPomposity]

On retrospect, maybe it's best to reserve judgment until we know how many hours management gave the FREDers to put the campaign together. Given the right answer to that question, ST could be regarded as a masterpiece.

Interesting perspective.

Considering my own experiments in speed-FREDding...

Well, go play Operation Savior and tell me if the first three missions are ST quality. All three were put together in the same twelve-hour period. I'm pretty sure I beat ST's Hellfire for FRED work.

Better?

somewhere around here i have the original disc with it ill look for it if is the same then ill feel pretty stupid.

Volition said they were rushed when they made ST, yet when I played it in 8th grade I liked it (except the escort mission just after you get the cluster warhead). I don't think I would say the same thing now, especially since ST:R is way better. I'm still curious if Jason Scott played ST:R and what his thoughts would be if he did.

[NGTM-1R]

The thing is, I actually like Hellfire and some of the other ST missions because they give us a little extra insight into the Shivans.

We eventually intend to formally invite Volition to play ST:R, but we want to get a few things done first.

i say that campaign beats the original ST any day (apart from balancing, that 4th mission really IS insane!)
wouldn't have voice acted a campaign as disastrous as the original ST
the remake is fantastic though, the best campaign out there in my opinion
