Well, _I_ say it kicks ass. And clearly, my opinion is the only one that matters.

I'm totally psyched for HW2. Homeworld is quite high on my all-time-best list. Easily top 10, possibly top 5. Its the kind of game that I got into the industry to be a part of. With just about no exceptions, there wasn't a single element of the (single player) game that wasn't  polished superbly. Normally you'll get graphics-but-not-gameplay, or gameplay-but-zero-story, or graphics-and-story-but-no-originality, or graphics-but-no-immersion.  They did an admirable job of fully expressing all the critical stuff.

Bah - you're a newbie. :p ;)

Homeworld is fun, true, but I wouldn't rank it up my top 5 games of all time, I'd think. Maybe not even top 10, but I can't be sure about that. It annoyed the hell out of me that you had two options for the main game, but they were the same freaking campaign with different ships, for one instance. Also, several of the missions were impossibly boring, even if the eye-candy alone managed to partially compensate for that.
Probably away. Contact through email.

Didn't like them

Bought and tried both HW1 and HW2... Didn't get anything outta them, but hey that's just me...

My opinion - good ideas, bad implimentation. Probably cause I don't like Micromanaging, I want to be In the action not directing it 100%!

One Cool thing I WAS impressed with what the FULL SIZE (in their scale) Galactica... I put that on my WANTED page ;7
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Before the old computer crashed I anticipated lots of mods so I had 5 folders set up for HW cataclysm....

Now there is only FS2... One pure folder , one XPerimental (all mod) folder, and one for each individual mod (full installs each, I don't do that switch data folder stuff!)
:ha:

Why does everything Homeworld: Cataclysm is HW2? Its starting to bug me, go on forums, anywhere.. search for HW2, brings u to a cataclysm site... gahhhhh...

Anyway, just got my PC Gamer, screenshots look cool, the commentary is even better :p   They say they will release ALL their production tools for HW2 so it's totally modable. Everything they used to make it(except commercial programs of course :p) we get to use! Big SDK pack yay!

I'm just glad that we FINALLY will have a game with wonderful developer support... at least thats what they say.

In the wake of Total Annihilation, they promised that you could add ships for the sequel. I plan to take them up on that offer. :D
I'm OK. How are you?
