review DF: Xtreme 2

[Stwa]

Hi,

I know the thread is old, but I wanted to reply because I got DFX and DFX2 in a bundle last Christmas.

I am pretty sure Nova is toast, but I thought I could get a few years out of these titles.

I wanted to agree with the poster above that DFX2 is like a mod, in that it includes stuff from previous Nova games, and that makes it fun to mod as well.

I wanted to mod the single player stuff, using only the objects included in DFX2. I redid the story line of the orignal campaigns, did away with the "new" voices, changing wacs and bins, etc. Anyway, its easy, and a lot of fun. Oh, and I fleshed out the older DFX campaigns, with the missing content.

I just love missions where you wade through a ton of bad guys that can't hit the broadside of a barn.
