Lack of battle chatter
Anyone remember the iconic battle chatter from Homeworld 1?

"Enemy units closing on group one."
"Group one to combat stations."
"Stay on top of them!"
"I almost feel bad about this."
"Watch your six!"
"This is group one, we've got incoming."
"Attack complete. Holding pattern locked in."

Homeworld 2 also has battle chatter, but It was awful.

"This is a cakewalk."
"This is a cakewalk"
"This is a cakewalk"

The same goes for Remastered.

It was one of the feature that separate Homeworld from other similar RTS. Why aren't they integrated into the Remastered? I don't mind the developer reusing the old files from HW1, at least port it to the RM...Really disappointing.

Edit: Kinda surprised there is no battle chatter mod.

I want to launch the game to see if they've improved it but the game itself wouldn't even launch ffs.

Having just gone through Homeworld 2, it's not surprising.. the game is inferior to HW and Cataclysm in every respect, including the story.

There is one thing I love about Homeworld 2...The graphics. Especially the draw distance.
I was thrilled when I heard that HW1 will be remastered too, but with the lack of battle chatter, It's just meh...

Edit: And the dogfight. Back in HW 1, If you set unit tactics to evasion, your units would actually attempt to dodge enemy fire by "zig zagging".

Ive noticed it too, when you build the science vessel, module by module it used to say something like "coming together.. looking good" and then spinn when completed. In remastered it stays silent and no spinning.

If my memory serves me right, moving fighters out of battle would trigger something like "We're retreating" or "Retreat, retreat!"

I still hear most of these. The cakewalk one IS a bit annoying, especially since it seems to come up at rather odd times. Assult craft squadrons running into flak frigates =/= cakewalk XD.
