This game is a Battle Zone clone

Battle Zone 2 is a game that came out in the 90's, and you could also take control of individual units in FPS mode; this isnt a fresh take on RTS. Battlezone 2 still has better gameplay and graphics if you ask me. And its free http://www.myabandonware.com/game/battlezone-ii-combat-commander-46f

I loved battlezone, and i am more than happy to see something in the same vein being done again.

Yeah I still play the old x-com games but there is so much more tech today, the new games are better all round if devs can only get it right.The chap making this game has a good attitude so lets support him.

[Joel-io]

You're right... Im sorryyyyyyyy :(

Can you give me some examples as to why the graphics and the gameplay of Battle Zone 2 are better?

I would quite like a tutorial on how to install this Battlezone 2 from the link provided.

[randommonicle]

You need to have a mounting programme such as deamon tools or magic iso.
Download the file, open the folder, go to the file and windows should assige your mounting programme as the deafult programme. If not right click and open with, find your mounting programme and hey presto.

also if you look at the comments section of the provided link, somone has typed a pretty detailed description.

Yeah I noticed that comment and followed his instructions, but it didn't work. Doing neither what you have said nor what he said and another forum said worked for me. I went and found another download of it, which did work thankfully. Thanks for your help!

I loved the Battlezone games, starting from the original... that IS the reason I am interested in this one. This game has much more ambitious scale, both in terms of what you can do, and the actual size of the units. I don't remember any Battlezone games having giant mechs that look like they are straight out of Mech Warrior with epic domination over the battlefield, at least as they are portrayed in the trailer for this game. Just because this game is in the same spiritual vain as that series does not really make it a "clone." The art style is different, the units/structures are different, the maps are different, and many of the mechanics appear to work differently. IF this was a Battlezone clone, I would probably love it, but it looks like short of the concept of an RTS with controllable units everything else is different enough to be original.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure the developer was a pretty large fan of that game series also... you have to get inspiration from somewhere. ;)

Thank you for awnsering a question of my own. I was thinking of a game like this when i was young, but could not remember the name of it. Now I know it again. Battle Zone...
Thanks a lot.

Someone please can make such a game in a desert-setting like Dune with UnrealEngine4?
That would be nice :-)

I seem to remember BattleZone 2 being a big dissapointment when compaired to the original. Well, not the original, but the remake original. It was along time ago though. It might also have just the been the story that made me dislike it too.

If I recall correctly Urban Asault, another FPS/RTS, came out the same year (1998); That's mostly why I'm interested in this game.

The graphics were better, the setting was interesting, the units were great... yes, it was 50% story/driving-force behind your actions that upset a lot of fans, but there were also a lot of bugs at launch which were mostly fixed eventually. It was more of a collection of random battles rather than one epic story... I do remember really liking the actual game play, though... once it was out for a while I started ignoring reviews that talked about the bugs and just played it. Same can be said for a lot of games, though.

You weren't kidding about the graphics, the colorful textures of battle zone 2 make it look a lot better. Does anybody know why this game is even out of early access? Tons of bugs and missing features doesn't sound like a ready release to me. sketchy sketchy...

At the time I wrote this post, I was more flared up about the trailer, "A Fresh new take on RTS!" and then it showed the mechs walking around with no fluid movement, and I was perturbed
