"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Original updated Battlezone > Battlezone 2.

I dunno, Battlezone 2 didn't have the same atmosphere and I felt they made unneeded changes to the interface. But it was pretty good, might have to check out this game though if it's like BZ2.

If it's based on the Battlezone 2 engine (which certainly looks to be the case - or at the least an updated version), why the heck can't they make a PC version?? :mad:

Not played battlezone so the comparison doesn`t mean much to me but I`ve heard that Hostile Waters (which I love) is like a cross of it and Carrier Command so I`m thinking it might be worth getting a copy.

What was the original Battlezone like?

It was... pure fun. Nothing like it in the world. Matter of fact, I think I'm adding it to my list of games to replay. :nod:

why do lucas arts seem to keep "borrowing" other game engines? Quake3=>Jk2, Age of EmpiresII=>Galactic Battlegrounds and now Battlezone2=>The Clone Wars?
ahh well, as long as their good....:nod:

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Despite the fact that the game has been out on the Gamecube and PS2 (not sure on that one) for quite some time now.

If you liked Hostile Waters, I'm pretty sure Battlezone would be to your tastes.
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

BattleZone... *flashbacks...* That is a good game. :)
BattleZone 2 improved interface and gameplay but original BZ is still better on other aspects, like storyline and missions.

Ha ha, the Rave Cannon was ace. Especially if you were flying the Apollo landing craft. Love that game so much. Urge to Re-Install rising....
