i see not a lot of ppl seem to know Freespace 2 the epic space sim from 1999, perhaps the best produced game i've seen; outstanding visuals for its time, full weapons and wing customization, detailed wing management that was key to win though missions, fabulous voice acting and OST, fantastic story and campaign, the kind of narrative that makes you wonder what's out there.

with one of the strongest modding communities ever and still in active, game engine upgraded from dx6 to dx9 when it went open source, lots of new effects, HDR, high poly models, its new visuals stand even today... it's a shame it never sold well in spite of massively positive reviews, but poor marketing effort and lack of distribution didn't help either; so there went Freespace 3... but its legacy is still here today.
