So...I just played Homeworld II

[Muzic]

My thoughts about this game is all summed up into 1 word. Yes 1.

OMGHOLYSHITFUCKINGSPACERTSWASFUCKINGEPICANDAWSOMEHOLYSHITTHISGAMEFUCKINGPWNSANDILOVEPANCAKES

I looked it up in the dictionary, the example was the boxart of Homeworld 1, 2 and that other one all combined into one abstract picture of a man holding bunny. Yes it was so awsome that I would make a horrible internet joke totally unrelating to the awsomeness that is the Homeworld series.

Anyways, I just failed on the last mission. I wasnt able to kill those missles. I found it really odd how 1 missle at first killed 80 million, the next 10, and 1 missle even only did 15k....

Any tips?

First missile hit the major population centre(s). After that, the remaining pop is more and more scattered, so actually hitting and killing them with the missiles becomes ever harder.

Any tips?

Well..... not really a tip, more like a cheat.....

You can edit the starting fleet files, and give you any ship you want, optionally carrying any number of any small craft if capable of doing so (Carrier, shipyard, mothership) Five Sajuuks can pretty much clear out anything, and if that don't work then 25 Motherships with about 25 Interceptors, 15 Bombers, 15 Corvettes and 10 Pulsar Corvettes per ship can.....

I still haven't unwrapped the Homeworld II I bought last year.

I borrowed my copy (my fav game of all time) to a friend, who returned it the day after with the phrase "I couldnt install it, when I took it out the case it looked like that", so I look at the CD, and the rest I shan't mention.....

[rattle]

I liked HW1/HW:C a lot more. Take a look at the PDW mod, then you'll see what HW2 could have been...

[Comp1337]

I like pancakes too.

[Fanger]

PDS mod is made of awesome win and gunfire..

I edited mine to 5 battle cruisers and about 10 destroyers. Nothing to fancy. By the way, could you research a hyperspace module in story mode? Becuase if so, I could have saved my self alot of trobule.

Skill in RTS games is damn near universal

ergo

Get better at Spring
You will get better at HWII

I beat HW2 on hard difficulities pretty quickly...

[Snipawolf]

yeah, cuz strategy games rely on your brain to calculate and form STRATEGIES, so you are doing the same thing in every game...

[1v0ry_k1ng]

cataclysms single player was better by far, homeworld multiplayer was better. I was disappointed at how dumbed down HW2 felt. I damn hate squad based RTS. "Its like having 100 ships!" no, its like having four ships, each of which as the animation of lots of little ones.

[Deathblane]

It's such a shame HW2 didn't live up to HW. The original HW had a n awesome modding community with mods for just about every sci-fi univers you can mention.

I still have an encyclopedic knowledge of star ships from Trek (every era), Wars, B5 and Farscape.

I have to agree, this is the stupidest "invention" in RTS.
In this Warhammer 40k game it was semi-ok but in the new Command&Conquer they also have infantry squads. This leads to fights with like 50 soldiers on each side. Oh, those are really only 5 vs 5...

[Zoombie]

COH did squads very well.

[1v0ry_k1ng]

COH was poor as hell imo.
DoW got away with it by being fluent n agressive.
new CnC, from the demo I played, is a pack of shizzle.

[Muzic]

I'll probably pick up a copy of HW1. Seeing how you guys said it was all pretty good.

[Zoombie]

COH was fun as hell, more like. Sure WWII's been done to death, but this is one good RTS. I, Zoombie, have spoken.

And, Music, the original HW is a far better game. It's got a better plot, cooler ships, and just feels better. The only thing lacking are the graphics...but what are those compaired to fun?
