Halo... GTA...super smash bros and Homeworld

[Scooby_Doo]

Homeworld 1 rocked.... Homeworld 2 absolutely sucked compared to it.

Homeworld 1 rocked.... Homeworld 2 absolutely sucked compared to it.

But, unto itself, it was pretty damn good. Definitely one of the better space RTS'es these days.

[Centrixo]

HW1: The Kushan trying to reclaim Hiigara from Tiidani hands.
HWC: Kiith Sowtaaw-Sa moving up the political ladder from miners to warriors, by accident.
HW2: Hiigaran's get pushed off there world by the Vaygr because of 3 cores but eventually the Vaygr Fall and Sajuuk returns.

i think there all good, i have never really seen too much hype from anyone of them really. i do not see where the overhype comes into play. anyhow. i am not really here to argue.

[Scooby_Doo]

Oh the storyline in 2 rocked.  The Eye of Aaron 

It's the execution was so poorly done. I got sick of hearing "Frigate destroyed"

[IPAndrews]

HW2 is a tragedy of level design.

[Roanoke]

Hw2 was far too complicated and completley ruined the capture dynamic.

I mean, anti-fighter corvettes fine but anti-corvette corvettes ? WTF ?

Not to mention unbalanced.  A destroyer chewing through a fleet of frigates

Whats wrong with that?

It's like space superiority corvettes.

**** destroyers, just take a look at the Vaygr battlecruiser. That thing is ****ing ridiculous.

[ElectricEel]

The voice acting in Homeworld 2 sucked horribly. The characters didn't seem to have any emotion.

I'll have to play Homeworld 1 at some point. The case is currently sitting on my shelf, unopened.

The Vaygr battlecruiser's main weapon is nearly useless... it can only fire horizontally in a 3D enviroment!!

Seconded. It takes a bit of tactics, but you can easily overpower a Vaygr BC whore. Sure, it's not as easily neutered as the Hiig BC, but micromanaging your ships out of the Trinity Cannon's line of fire while beating the **** out of it with a swarm of bombers can knock it down simple as Simon. Not to mention taking out its engines alone render the main cannon completely useless.

An anti-frigate ship destroying frigates? No! Really?!

[Turnsky]

the Vaygr BC's were powerful, but they were beaten on range and versatility by their hiigaran counterparts. i generally had two BC's supporting eachother in most cases, anyways..

[Centrixo]

quite easy to over power any battleship.

Hiigaran: get your ship directly above or below the ioon cannon, destroy the cannon and get in there and destroy it.
Vaygr: just keep your ship out of the 45 degree angle of the 3 red connons on the front of that ship under the antennae.

Actually, I was referring to its array of cruise missiles. I'll have to load up HW2 again and check out this forward cannon. I can't recall it.

That can be disabled by two squadrons of bombers in two or three strafing runs, so it's not really a big problem as long as you plan ahead. I'll admit, if you get jumped by a few Vaygr BCs you're proper ****ed, but it would serve you right for not using hyperspace interdiction.

[Polpolion]

You know PDS elimenates the trinity cannon horizontal problem by letting ships fully move.



But it also completely changes gameplay.

[NGTM-1R]

When you get a wave of 20-odd Vaygar battlecruisers...well, the bastards are tough to kill before they get to you.

A wing of ion cannon frigates could take down a HW 1 destroy without major problems.  Try doing that in HW2, unless it's a huge wing.
