I liked the single player campaigns too.

Yeah that be cool but then you have kill King. Also I thought the story got pretty bad when they introduced the Nomads. It seemed like they were thinking "Halo did well with Alien Assimination and so did Half Life." Let make this game simular so we can use alien assimination as a plot twist. I thought it would of been cool if the Rheinland Military were the bad guys using spies to control Liberty and what not. I mean they had the best weapons and shields in all the 4 systems (minus the otherworlds). And imagine The Order and Bretonia teaming up with Hispania (Cosairs) in the war agianst Rheinland. Man it would of been EPIC! But nooooooo that would make the Germans anger. Dam Germs! j/k =D

PS: And also is it me or did the ships in WC Prophecy looked better then the ships in FreeLancer. I mean look at the ships there butt-ugly. The only decent ones were the Dragon, Saber, and Hammerhead. I mean look at the other ships closely, really closely. Ahhhh their ugly what were they thinking!!!! Oh well at least my ugly Titan OwnZ.

I wasn't expecting the Nomads to be controlling humans, which was an actual twist for me. I figured Rhineland was going bankrupt (based on news info on different bases) and this was away to avoid collapsing in upon itself?

After all each colony started quite a bit away from each other and only now starting to overlap.

I figure the storyline with the artifacts was about unlocking technology, which would give one of the 4 colonies a controlling edge.

Still a good story but would have been better without alien involvement.

Who suspects we will see coalition forces in Freelancer expansion or sequel from the newly open hyper gates? Retake earth, or both team up to fight the Nomads?

I thought the same thing about the artifacts too. But I only thought the Germans knew about it. I also thought the story behind StarLancer was weak too. I mean since when was Spain above my dear Italia!!! huh huh?

to be honest; i think the nomads are the worst part of the game..

i mean; it all ended up in the cliché "save the universe" story.
i would've liked it much more if it was "humans only".
even though i like it as it is.

If you watch the intro, you can see that they all actually get on pretty well, dont think the story would have fit if there wasnt some controlling force, im not so sure about having another branch of the same storyline for SP, though i think if DA make another campaign, thats what it will be..I would much prefer another storyline with the Order that continues after original finishes, which take you down the orders path, ie disrupting trade routes, spying etc

I watched the original intro movie put up here on the website from like two years ago. It showed the Nomads destroying SOL, so I knew they would be in Freelancer. What I did not expect was the assimilation aspect of it. When I first encountered the Nomads in Tohoku, the Kusari governor, I thought they were lik Mystique from X-Men, able to take on the for of anyone they so please. I think that would have been better than the assimilation aspect of it. Using humans as hosts for alien species has become rather hackneyed, if you ask me. Like a fish-eye lens. I know, I know. None of you has any idea what I'm talking about now. Oh well. It happens so much anymore I don't even pay it any attention.
