  • FreeSpace 2 is a 1999 space combat simulation computer game developed by Volition, Inc. as the sequel to '. It was completed ahead of schedule in less than a year, and released to great critical acclaim. Engrossing gameplay, excellent sound effects in addition to the inclusion of vocal talent such as Robert Loggia and Ronny Cox led several gaming sites to have proclaimed it as the definitive simulation game for 1999. The game continues on the story from Descent: 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. In 2002, Volition released the source code for the game engine to the public. This code became the core of the FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project, which has produced several mods based on science fiction series such as Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica.
  • Descent: Freespace 2 è un videogioco sviluppato da Volition e pubblicato nel 1999. È il seguito di ', e il terzo episodio della serie Descent (il primo titolo fu realizzato dalla Parallax Software nel 1995). Come nei precedenti titoli della serie Descent, in Freespace 2 il giocatore pilota un'astronave da combattimento immersa in un ambiente 3D. Al combattimento in stile sparatutto si unisce lo sviluppo di una trama piuttosto elaborata. Il gioco fu ben accolto dalla critica ma ebbe un successo commerciale non esaltante e inferiore a quello dei precedenti titoli della serie a causa di un sistema pubblicitario che non permise a FreeSpace 2 di diventare popolare. Il codice del motore grafico di Freespace 2 fu reso pubblico dalla Volition, consentendo una proliferazione di mod anche sostanziali al gioco base. Il principale utilizzatore del codice sorgente è ora il "Freespace Source Code Project", che tutt'ora dimostra il suo impegno nello sviluppo costante del gioco, non solo tramite mod, ma anche tramite miglioramenti sostanziali, quali potenziamenti del motore grafico, audio e di gameplay.
