Matewis: edit : as far as I know it's officially free
Maybe it used to be but, now, it's debatable. Battlezone originally belonged to Atari, until Rebellion purchased it from them during Atari's bankruptcy proceedings 3 years ago. Now that Rebellion is rereleasing it, they might send a cease-and-desist letter to the site.

F4LL0UT: Speaking of which: anybody know if Battlezone 2 is any good? I remember getting blown away by the previews but I never read an actual review and never got to play it.
From what I've read a lot of people gave if it a lot of flak because of changes in the interface.
Personally I was okay with the changes and liked the improved graphics and more diverse scenery.
The story is somewhat less though but still entertaining enough.

I see, then I guess it's just a matter of time :-\

Heh, well, let's be honest, the interface in the original game wasn't perfect. Will really have to check this one out. Thanks for the input.

BenKii: Please tell me this game is coming to Gog.

*fingers crossed*

Lord_Kane: it might eventually, but since its likely using steamworks probably not for quite sometime I would imagine.
Yeah, probably not until GOG has something like Steam Workshop and such.

Well yeah, they could have done a bit more with it. But maybe they're testing the waters with this release to see what the reception would be like for a full sequel?

I loved the original game but i would not buy this new one.....

There was a big community expansion to the game, which i found it was just too hard.

So after seeing that hard assed direction fans liked the game to take, i want no further part of it.

It is a common theme for me with real time games.... i dropped off the Warcraft series after 2 for exactly the same reason.

people generally seem to like games getting significantly harder, i don't.

You mean around June time then, they just have to get GOGworks running first, and tidy up GOGlight.

Oh. my god. This is one of the most epic games ever. Hope to see it here soon.

Never heard of this game before, is it some kind of action-game with RTS elements?

Pretty much, and a very well made one at that. You can pilot a wide variety of hovercraft (and at least one kind of mech) and use an interface to give orders like: ordering units/harvesters around; placing buildings ([url=http://battlezone.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Buildings]list[/url]); manufacturing hovercraft, turrets, weapons and ammo; calling in artillery and weapon/ammo drops etc.

You can walk around on foot as well, when switching between vehicles or when using your powerful sniper rifle to snipe the cockpit of an enemy hovercraft so that you can commandeer it.

I'd suggest directly contacting to inform them that you would like to purchase Battlezone 98 Redux on GOG to to show that there is interest and significant market for it to be offered on GOG. Imagine what actually might come to pass if people would more promptly directly contact the publishers with their concerns instead of just complaining on the GOG forums. I doubt many publishers are monitoring GOG's forums to find out which games members are complaining about being unavailable on GOG. Bitching at GOG on their forums doesn't change the fact that GOG cannot unilaterally offer things for which they do not have a written agreement with the publishers.<div class="quot quot_text normal_color "><div class="small_avatar_2_h"><img src="//images.gog.com/179268d18fd10f24b0613b2ea3d644d04c92d367aea602cca5410797ecfc79d7_avm.jpg" width="16" height="16" alt="avatar" /></div><span class="quot_text"><span class="quot_user_name">Grargar: </span></span>Hmmm, no GOG logo.

I ask everyone interested in the Battlezone series to go vote for them on the [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#search=battlezone]Community Wishlist to increase the chance of seeing these games released here.
