Returning to Dune 2000

[WormSign]

Hello guys!

 

I've played Dune 2 a long-long-long time ago and I also played Dune 2000 when it came out.  I've just "found out" about Dune 2-in-a-browser experiment and found a copy of Dune 2.  However, with my 24" monitor, it is a pain to play it at the default resolution although I tolerate it due to nostalgia.  My old Dune 2000 CD was just shipped to me from home and I am looking forward to playing this again and definitely introducing my son to the series which I consider to be the "start" of the RTS genre.

 

In line with this, are there any "essential" or "must-play-with-this!!!" mods for Dune 2000?  I'm specifically looking for a high-res (or even just bigger game window) mod, and anything that will make it run stable on my current PC --- i5 740, 8GB RAM, Win7 64bit.

 

I've found this site as well ---  http://d2kplus.com/index.phphttp://d2kplus.com/index.php

Seems like they're still spitting out mods for Dune 2000.

 

Can't wait to enjoy this game again after all these years!

Not sure they can be considered mods, but i made a bunch of campaigns. Just check my signature :D i'll patch the ixian campaign and add at least 1 new unit, the Phase Tank (that can be called a modded campaign I guess). Aqib is also working on an imperial mod.

Hi WormSign!

 

For wide screen Dune II, you can try Dune Dynasty.  It is based on the original game engine, just like play-dune.  Dune Dynasty also adds multi-select and build queues to make the controls a bit less frustrating.  Hope you like it!  :)

He's asking for dune 2000 not dune 2.

I know, but you think the OP wouldn't be interested?  He did mention playing Dune II and Dune-2-in-a-browser (play-dune), and that "it is a pain to play it [Dune II] at the default resolution although I tolerate it due to nostalgia".

Thanks dynasty!  I did not start this thread for Dune 2 but that sure is a cool mod!  Being able to zoom in/out is exactly what I am looking for, but for Dune 2000.  That's not to say I'm not very happy to find one for Dune 2, this will make sure my re-play of this classic will be very enjoyable!
