u know, one of the things that makes it pretty hard to find new players is that it takes time to get skill in this game.

most games, when u play them first, u will probably be able to get one or two lucky kills.... different in bz 2. bz 2 is also a game where strategy is important. lot of players just game "brainless", shooting everything they see, but bz 2 is different, cuz u gotta stay alert whole time and think a lot about strategies and enemy movement, while dogfighting at the same time.

a while ago i got some friends to play some games with me. i (yes...even i :P) completely owned them, but they liked the game anyway. so they started playin some, and after like a month, i still owned them easily. so they stopped playing, because they thought that it would take to much time to get skill, compared to other games.

i think this is one of the most important reasons not many ppl play bz 2.

Ya, like i said :D a bit part of the Humanity is too Stupid.
well, I believe 90% of everyone who's reading this agree's : Battlezone II is a BEAUTIFULL game. there is Nothing! that we can Compare to BZII. How Come.... HOW COME that such an Intense and incredible game is dieing?

well, True BZII players wont leth BZII die... and it WONT. Someone just have to step on the plate to make more people playing it!
There are MILLIONS of gamers.... and there are just something like 100 (not even) playing BZII? Ya Ya i know, Activision and Pandemic Studios Failed to make BZII Famous or something... well why wont WE do it?

I say... Lets Visit some Gaming forums like Blizzard, eA games etc etc to tell the about BZII?
Give link to Demo, and Show screenshots and tell them what BZII is all about... well?
Believe me... after playing the demo they WILL ganna get BZII.... and they WILL become vet... (the one who will get addicted wich goes easely)

I think thats a good idea.... I will do it!

Gee Logan, how could you not comprehend that wonderful example of written English? :wink: :lol:

I kind of got it, but I had a headache after the first sentence. Is he kind of asking us to spam other forums to increase awareness for Battlezone 2? At least that's what I'm understanding.

Oh lucky us, we got chosen.

I never played it, but as far as I know it's a combination of RTS and FPS...

Logan

Like C&C: Renegade?

Nova

Yeah, the FPS part is a lot like Renegade but I think there's also a top down RTS mode too. It's very old, I saw it on TV a few years ago. I don't really know anything else about it.

I always wanted to try this and never did, and can't remember why for the life of me. I'm gonna look for a demo and see if I can run it on Win2K...

WOW i didn't realise people still played this game!
I bought it for $10 a long time ago and thought it was an awesome game how it combines FPS and RTS together. Those that havn't heard of it or played it, grab it now. You can get it so cheap. It's very old. But it's a fun 3D RTS/FPS game. Very great ideas, im suprised developers have only just started to copy the idea actually.

Played both of them back in the day.

Very good games, it's a shame we don't have more like it.
