Comments
This campaign is considered the greatest of the many mod projects undertaken for Freespace 2, despite its lack of major mods and its predating the source code release. It manages, through slick FREDding, an incredibly engaging storyline and clever dialogue, to completely immerse the player in the Freespace universe, and provides an unmatched playing experience. FreeSpace community as one of the worst third-party campaigns ever to be released. Technically essentially flawless, and artistically sublime, The Second Great War Part II has been called "The fan's Freespace 3", and very few people disagree with the label.
Availability
The campaign is still available from the Volitionwatch Archives, and has been mirrored in several places, ensuring it cannot be lost to the vagaries of the internet.
