Battlezone 98 Redux

I had owned the game, but now I don't. I don't remember why or how. It might have been because I was not good enough to beat the first level, which I don't recall being a problem in the pre-steam days. I am recommending entirely based on the fun I had with the original, and in the hopes that my failures are my own.

Such a good game and a classic. I've played this so much as a kid and now I can as an adult too. It is harder than I remember - and the game is difficult too.

One of the greatest games of all time, in a genre that gamers love but that developers continue to pretend doesn't exist, which includes basically this, to some extent Dragons Dogma, and Mount and Blade. The mixture of FPS and RTS components with a strategy map and story, whether emergent or predefined, is gaming gold. But I guess it takes actual imagination and talent to make games like that, so we should just be grateful we've ever seen anything like them at all.

Its a First Person shooter + Tower Defense + Chess. You build your base up and protect your key pieces then build offensive pieces to attack another base. You can snipe out drivers from opponents tanks or pieces then commandeer them.

The first PC game I ever played - over 20 years later - the game not only holds up - Its Pure class

Quite honestly the original 1998 version of the game was the only game I played as a teenager growing up. I got it for Christmas right after its release and it was the best game I had ever seen graphically speaking at the time and now it is actually way better with the REDUX version. It became a family game between my dad brothers and myself with reverse wired cables between the 2 house computers so we could play without using the old dial-up and tying up the landline. Spent literally thousands of hours playing and have never found another first person strategy that compares to the Battlezone 1&2 franchise. It was and still is quite literally a one of a kind game series that should have been a lot more popular.

great, if only some controls were tweaked this could be a scartcraft but with the player in the field

Can't rebind the 'jump' key to 'space'. I know programmers are not designers or gamers, but is anyone really that stupid? Also, don't seem to be able to bind Mouse1 to fire?

this game is not playable, the horizontal rotation controls dont work, either on the keyboard or on the mouse you will just get endlessly destroyed while trying desperately to rotate your vehicle
