Posting here as well as HLP. :)

Allrighty. Desperation Chapter 2 is finally complete after nearly a full weekend of continous testing. I've tried my very best to make it as perfect as possible, but im only human, so please dont kill me if you find any glaring errors.

It requires SCP to run, and comes in two varieties.

the first is just chapter 2 alone. this is for those whom have played Chapter 1, but don't wish to play through it again. Included in the file is a .vp holding the missions, the new music.tbl and some new music (all in .ogg format) as well. It is around 9mb.
Chapter 2


The second is a combination of chapter 1 and 2, for new players who may have not played chapter 1 before. Since the file only includes 7 more missions when compared to the Chapter 2 file, it is around 9mb as well.
Chapter 1+2

For those who don't know what it's about. Desperation initially follows the story of a task group stuck within the nebula beyond Gamma Draconis. We play part of alpha wing, who is sent to make contact with the task group and try to get them out. What follows is a tale of desperation and terror as the group is whittled down to only a few survivors as they try to escape the shivans. In chapter 2, they escape the fog, only to find themselves continuing on the road trip from hell.

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it. :)

in the next two posts, I'll put up the screenshots once they finished uploading. Kudoz to Matthewpapa for the webspace :)

Sometimes having too many bombs can be a bad thing, especially when GTVA interceptors blow 'em up right next to you:

The Interception becomes hectic as everyone tries to kill everyone else, but instead getting squished up and colliding. But as long as it gets the job done....

Sometimes you get really, really sick of being in a fog.

ok, it seems that the .fc2 files in the mission folders are corrupted due to FRED being a b**ch.

Re-download the file in around 20 minutes from this post to get hte correct campiagn file.

Sweet, a new campaign to try out! :)
Do I need to use a specific build to play this, or will any one do?
