I'm sure a few of you remember this. It was one of the first games I played!

Patched for XP through the D1X mod. Come on IRC and play with us sometime!

You need to make your own pilot and setup your options. It should run at a nice res and whatnot for you. Let me know if there are problems.

I remember when I was 5 I got descent 2 from a neighbor, and I never stopped playing it... those were the days :)

How do i get the HUD tho? I like to see what weps I have out

and how can we connect to you and have a big-ass deathmatch? :badass:

<Downloading>

I think I played this game briefly on my i486 DX 66, or my very first Pentium machine!!! ^_^

I remember my other friends raving about it, but I honestly don't remember much about it. Definitely will check it out :)

I do miss weapons from Descent 2, like the mercury missile or the TV guided missile... but eh... its still a hell-o-alot of fun!

You can't get the hud with the new version, unless you set the res to the lowest.

Jobabob: Try all keyboard controls for eliteness. :D

Good for you.

I'm gonna try to play this today :)

Define "all resolutions" VOX...
The reason we don't have the cockpit HUD is cos we're using a high-res patch.

What resolution is it running in? I can only get up to 640x480

You don't have the DX1 mod.

Great game. I remember playing it in my childhood, thinking it was amazing, allthough rather confusing. The ability to turn around in every direction is quite uniqe, even today.

Yah, the freeform aspect of it is amazing.
