FreeSpace 2


Release
Version: 
1.20
Released: 
5 December 2000

The game continues on the story from Descent/Conflict: FreeSpace, once again thrusting the player into the role of a pilot fighting against the mysterious aliens, the Shivans. While defending the human race and its alien Vasudan allies, the player also gets involved in putting down a rebellion. The game features large numbers of fighters alongside gigantic capital ships in a battlefield fraught with beams, shells and missiles in detailed star systems and nebulae. Free multiplayer games were available via Parallax Online which also ranked players by their statistics. A persistent galaxy was also available as SquadWar for players to fight with each other over territories.

FS2 Open included in Desura

Now you can get Freespace 2 and FS2 Open from Desura. I think the FreeSpace Port is also included, but it will take some time to check all the stuff. The full installation is a monster of 7,6 GB.

  • 11:42:02 Hi, Superuser. No, web based games are not added (with only few exceptions, like Quake Live). However, there was a separate forum thread for HTML5 games, you can leave interesting links there
