This is one of the best games yet by Activision. It allows you to command and control completely, but unlike most other C&C games, you're actually in on the action. And you're not stuck in one vehicle either, you're able to pilot a variety of tanks from scouts to bombers.

Do you love First-Person action or stratigy games?

If you answered yes to both questions, than this game is for it. It puts the sole command of tanks, turrets, and buildings all at your fingertips. But it also lets you get into the action, fighting in a whole range of vehicles with many different types of weapons.

It is Activisions best game yet, and it could not get better. The graphics, physics, textures, and crashing of the vehicles is realistic.

Not only are the vehicles a positive, but the story line is awesome. It always makes you want to know more, so you keep playing.

I think that anyone that appriciates real-time stratigy, or first person action would love this game!

Mindblowing

I first played this game in 2000, a few years after it came out. Since then, I have played countless newer, more advanced and supposedly "better" games. I can say without a doubt, this is the best video game I have ever played, and my favorite of all time. If you're looking for a game to get into because you've become bored with newer, modern games that suck up your system resources and have such simplistic objectives that it takes practically no brain power to get through them, buy this game. Within the first hour of playing it, you will be hooked, and you will understand what we Battlezone fans mean when we say it's the best game we have ever played.

This game is as close to perfect as one can get.

An excellent game

Battlezone is one of the best games I have ever played, if not the best. The key is to play it a couple of times, to get comfortable with controlling the additional tanks, turrets, etc. Excellent graphics and gameplay. Network play is also excellent. Now I'm waiting to see if BattleZone II lives up to the first version's success.

I remember playing this game in 1998. What a blast it was, and still is. Gameplay is very fluid and holds your attention completely. The interfacing of the game is impeccible. It may seem overwhelming to a beginner but once you've mastered it you rule the world. Well, the Battlezone world.

Once you're hooked, this game will put a spell on you that rocks you to the core. It get into your veins. It's hard to explain, but it's as if you have an emotional bond with the game. When memories of the game come to mind I have this craving to play. Battlezone is like an old friend that never betrays you.

The online community was huge, but now I can't even find a working server.dat file. In the old days of MP, servers were polluted with sleazy Notepad hacker wannabes. It was almost impossible to finish a game, or find a decent one. If you were lucky enough to get a good group of people, then you had to deal with the video cards du jour and their inadequate cooling. Many games, I would get 1-1.5 hours in and the video card would lock up and I would have to reboot and ruin the game. I felt horrible when this happened.

The reason the online community died was due to a few members that felt they were too good for the rest and the Battlezone Union fell into chaos. Now the remnant few remain online to reminisce. How does it feel to be old now, punk? =^D

I only like playing online but I can't anymore because no one plays. It's a great game though. Being able to snipe when out of your ship is sweet.

The greatest game ever made

This is the only game that is this old that I keep on playing, over and over again.

The amount of depth, strategy, and replay value in this title is unparalleled. It is not a stretch to easily call it the greatest game ever made.

This game combines a first-person shooter with real-time strategy across a number of different planets and moon in the solar system. An enthralling science fiction story sets the backdrop for what is, at heart, an action shooter; you build bases, collect resources ("bio-metal" scrap), build a huge number of different units, and take them into battle.

The real gem in this game, beside the sheer number of units and weapons (at least 30 units and 30 weapons, probably some more), is the variety of the game. In one mission you'll be stealing an alien relic from the Soviets on Mars. In another you'll be destroying Soviet artillery on Venus. In another you'll snipe a Soviet fighter pilot, steal his vehicle, and tap into their communication netowrk on Europa. In yet another you'll be defending Soviet transports (as a Soviet!) on Io. Only in Battlezone can you fight tanks, bombers, and light tanks with your squadron of turrets, scouts, fighters, and heavy walkers, only to be blown out of your vehicle as you eject into the foothills. What do you do? Why, aim your sniper rifle at an enemy bomber, kill the pilot, steal his vehicle, and continue directing the action!

No other game, developed before or since, has this level of strategy and action. This is the perfect mix, and the depth is incredible. Even now, the missions can unfold differently every time. You're doing yourself a favor by playing this game. Get it now.

It really is perhaps my favorite game

I bought this game quite a few years ago. I installed it once again about 2 months ago and it was just as awesome as I remembered. I seriously wish someone would make a new game just like this. It's the best meld of FPS and RTS (both of which I love to play) that I've ever seen. It's getting more difficult to use since it's no longer technically supported.

It's funny, I bought this game when I had a voodoo 5 and a 300 3d mark score. It still ran pretty well. Now I've got about a 13,000 and it makes little difference. I still like playing a 10 year old game!

Please, some developer, if you're reading this PLEASE MAKE A NEW VERSION OF BATTLEZONE!
