Battlezone

Recommended Posts

I"m wondering if anyone else has ever played or had this game. Battlezone, it was released in around 1998... and I'm looking to get a game together with some other OFP people. So far I know that Harnu has played it, and even a few of the Bohemia Interactive developers have.... so have you?

Yes, I have to totally agree with that. I was asking Robert E. Waring, lead designer of The Red Odyssey - nice fellow - he agreed that Battlezone II was truly a dissapointment, and that he and Activision were looking into developing a Battlezone III, but because of the then huge copyrights from almost every direction (Pandemic, Red Odyssey, Activision, Atari, N64) - I can't remember the name of the N64 company developer, but the game was Battlezone 64: Rise of the Blackdogs. Anyhoo, they figured it was more trouble than it was worth... which was a shame.

I really want to see a Battlezone MOD for Operation Flashpoint... biggrin_o.gif

Edit: Also, someone developed a ZFS decrypter and I have all the sound files if someone is interested in making a Battlezone MOD :P

battlezone 2 is a great game, everyonce ni a while i reinstall it and give it a go. The graphics are still impressive, and the game play is great.. to bad they never made a 3rd, or any game like it.... (goes to find BZII disk)

Had BZ 1 briefly, played it for an even briefer period, and deleted it after briefly considering it a decent game smile_o.gif

I just tried to reinstall the first Battlezone on this computer, but when I go to start the first combat training exercice, I craps out. Anyone know how to get it working?

Just tried it again, but on software instead of hardware acceleration, working now.  Doesn't look that good though  tounge_o.gif  Can you get it to install on newer computers? I tried on this a while ago but was never able to.

Just curious without having to make a new topic. Any of you ever play the Crusader games?  Crusader : No Remorse and Crusader : No Regret.  They we're really good futuristic action/arcade/third persion shooter (Dunno what you would call it)

Yeah! I played the first Crusader, No Remorse (I think). I loved the way you could blow up all the stuff like PCs, machines, etc... smile_o.gif

Best part of the game was how much you could blow up biggrin_o.gif

Yeah I have BZII. It's a nice game indeed but I gave it up after I couldn't find any mods for it, after playing the campaign a couple of times. I really like the atmosphere where you would be in a dropship and then land on pluto (I think). Those we're some days. Now the BZII CD is just gathering dust in my closet...

Ah, the classic unhandled exception!

To play multiplayer with Battlezone I, delete or rename the anims folder. This will allow you to play.

Let me find the updated servers.dat which will allow you to connect to a server on Battlezone I...

Edit: Would the MOD's mind if I posted the game on the forum, I mean, it's a million years old and it's likely that the copyright expired. It isn't even on Activision's website anymore..

Well, one more than two should be free. You can still pick up Battlezone II in a store or online. Battlezone is rare to find on the market though except on ebay, it is out of print.
