Wait, broken? I have that sitting in my Steam backlog and haven't even tried it yet. What is broken about it?

Well, Gearbox modded HW1 into the HW2 engine - > loss of formation, ballistic system, and fuel.
But credit were credit is due, it looks really great. They did a great job here.

The veterans (and I) are furious about bringing HW1 to inferior engine instead of way around.

PS: and they castrated the "classic" version by removing the LAN game without need.

PPS: and they refused to relicense the relic code here despite giving initially other signals

Gearbox surprised us all with the arrival of Homeworld, thank you :)

Here is the link to the original discussion on their forum, maybe a good idea to thank them, like others did already...
