Descent: Freespace - The Great War - PC Game

You are looking at computer game Descent: Freespace - The Great War.

As a pilot in the Gallactic Terran Alliance, you've known the Vasudans as the enemy for a long time. But things are about to change... An unknown menace, with technology beyond both ours and Vasudans, are destroying both sides... And now... Old enemies must unite to fight this common enemy, and the dissenters and traitors on both sides...

Descent: Freespace is a new chapter in space dogfight sims. The graphics are bigger, better, with more weapons and missiles/bombs. The capships in this game are truly HUGE (kilometers long, compared to your puny fighter). It also has true online multiplayer that puts it heads and shoulders above the rest. Take fighters and bombers on attack, recon, escort, and sweep missions against enemy capships and fighters/bombers. Defend your own capships and other assets... Your rating and performance is noted after every mission, with suggestions (if applicable). You can call in reinforcements (if available), and your wingmen actually do fight intelligently, as there can be dozens of fighters flying about.

Features:
* 30 branching single-player missions and 20 multiplayer missions.
* 3 unique species, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, tactics, ships and fighting characteristics.
* Over 40 jaw-dropping real-time ships with dynamic lighting, stunning effects, animation and unprecedented levels of realism and detail.
* Create your own detailed missions using Fred, the fully-featured mission editor.
* Up to 12 players over the internet plus real-time voice-messaging allows you to send custom messages during multiplayer games.
