which one is the best?

hw1, hw2 or cataclysm?

I like cata the most. I just find the units more interesting, and the way the faction of miners would ghetto rig everything from the mothership (?) to the acolyte strike craft with upgrades to adapt them to changing conditions was good and quite thematic. Also ramming frigates. Also that bad ass ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ siege cannon. Story was good, and the actors seemed to understand that the faction of miners weren't like Karens crew at all. They were panicky, desperate people who lose their cool when ♥♥♥♥ goes down, but eventually get used to the misfortunes of warfare around the back end of the campaign.

I wish it were remastered.

Cataclysm, forever!

[SolidSnake056]

i think all 3 homeworld games are the best :)

Cataclysm by a long way. Best story, best gameplay (overall) and outstanding voice acting.

HW1 by a wide margin. Cataclysm was the beginning of the poor direction that the series started to take, a poor direction that was fully realized in HW2 unfortunately. But my biggest gripe with Cata was how crappy the multiplayer was. Removing ship class population caps lead to the creation of games that were nothing but multi ion cannon frigate spam. It was crap. Nothing like the awesome HW1 multiplayer with actual fleets composed of all 4 ship types.

Best at whut?

Homeworld has atmosphere.
Cataclysm has heart.
Homeworld 2 has mass appeal maybe.

HW1 is the true king, the classic masterpiece. Nothing could beat it in terms of gameplay, design and storyline. Cata is a popular choice now because it's not remastered, so a bunch of fakers are spamming these boards claiming it's the best. Guess what, it's not. It might be for those who lack imagination and only take their sci fi storyline in a more typical overdone fashion.
