Battlezone: Dune style?

[firefly]

A few years back, Activision released a remake of the old arcade classic Battlezone.  They basically turned it into a small-scale C&C-type game, set in an alternate time where the Cold War really got off Terra...

What was unique about it, however, was the perspective.  Instead of being above everything, you were actually in the thick of it, giving orders and taking fire.  You could repair, reload, and change weapons on the fly, and if you got blown out of your tank, you could either call one of your friends to pick you up... or use your sniper rifle to take out an enemy pilot and steal his vehicle.  Note that this came out well before Renegade...

The demo is still floating about to this day, as is the community of people playing the full version online (this latter can be had for about US$20; look around).

All of that being said, now, I am wondering how many people would like to see a game like this using E:BfD units...

I believe I got it for free on a CD a while ago, don't know for sure..

Oh I know, it was on a PC-Zone CD, but I believe there was something wrong with it  :(

Strange, I usually havn't any problems with the demo's from PC-zone. :)

it wasn't a demo but the full game

[Terror]

no it wasn't the full game... it was the ISO... you could only play with americans and only in single player

i have it also :-)... and later on i bought the full version

weird, it said on the cover "Full game included on Cover CD!!"

[gryphon]

Was it on the English PC-Zone or the Dutch one ?

[el_d00d]

the dutch one

Weird, they usually have demo versions on their CDrom's. Good demo's, but still demo's. Unless it's share or freeware, then they do publish the entire game or programm.

They are onder verry strick copyright laws, so they can't give any full versions on the disks.

It might seem a bit childish, but the government is watching. Look at denmark some months ago. The police barging in on a LAN party. I was even supprised that there wasn't a bigger "police presence" at Drome9.

But I'll check my archieves as well, look at what "version" of the game you [ we ] are talking about. :)

[el_d00d]

I will search for it (someday ;D)

I have Battlezone1. It is very entertaining to play.

I have played it alot, and with duneunits... I think I will play it a bit more.

well, you did have the full american campaign, but nothing else though

it's partly fps, partly strategy, a strange combinatation but worked out very well here
