Freespace
2, the award winning sim of the year '99 is a superb space opera
of epic proportions. The strong emphasis on plot development combined with
spectacular graphics and story-based missions make Freespace 2 the
best space sim ever made, even 4 years after its initial release.
It takes place in the year 2367, 32 years after the Great War, where
the imposing forces of the Shivans have surfaced again, threatening
the survival of the Terrans and the Vasudans.
Pilot up to 15 Ships with deadly weapons, destroy Huge Capital ships, guard
transports, fly recon missions and guard your life. Back in black and bigger
than ever, Freespace 2 is just about everything you'd want in a hard-core
3D space combat sim.
FF Division
The
Multiplayer game, played on PXO's online hub, offered an intense competition
in either Team versus Team, Co-operative or Free for all modes with up to
12 players per game.
The Freedom Fighters have been involved with Freespace 2 since
1999; indeed it is the reason the clan exists. Freedom Fighters were
extremely well respected within the Freespace 2 online community and
the division has always competed at the highest level. With countless victories
amongst the stars we always strive to be honourable in our quest for domination.
Always valiant we fight for freedom
Do you have what it takes to be a Freedom Fighter?

Freespace Open
The source code was released in 2002. Content update packs have been developed which take advantage of the upgraded game engine. These packs include higher-poly models and higher resolution textures.
The end result of this project is a graphically superior and far more flexible game engine, while still retaining all of the gameplay elements that made Freespace 2 successful.
In addition the pxo online hub has been replaced by FS2NET making online play possible again, including a lobby to meet other pilots.
Check the FSOpen Installation guide and join online play.
Leagues/Competitions
Squadwars
Squadwars were the original Freespace 2 leagues in which the best
pilots from around the world gathered to fight for domination of the galaxy.
You not only need
pure fighting skills but also strategical thinking to be successful here. Squadwars consisted
of three different leagues in which squads could compete; Europe, North America
and World. The Freedom Fighters were one of the 3 remaining powerful
squads in Squadwars and were dominating the World League and holding the 2nd place in
the North American League in the last league cycle.
Freespace Teamwars
Teamwars was a newly created way to play Freespace 2 and aimed
to help keep the game alive. The competition has been based on group stages followed
by a knockout
system. The ideal behind Teamwars was to have good clean matches and
a lot of fun while still having a winner in the end. Matches were only played
2v2 and
team-mates don’t neccessarily had to be part of the same squad. The
first round of TW was finished in December 2003 with the Freedom
Fighters,
though only fielding 2 teams, reaching a spectacular 1st and 3rd place.
