Both nations deploy into space and are fighting across the Solar System to control other deposits of the bio-metal. Both sides have used scraps of extraterrestrial "bio-metal", which have fallen to Earth as meteors, to build vehicles with amazing properties such as hover capability. A player can select a game to join and then connect to the host's computer.īattlezone is set during the turn of the 1970s with an alternative history plot, in which the Space Race is used to cover up the deployment of the United States and Soviet militaries into space.
Online gaming used to be available at Activision's servers through Anet, a peer-to-peer networking system which features a chat lobby and a list of games in progress. When a sniper is killed, he (depending on map) will spawn at his original spawn point, or another spawn point on the map. Sniper game play consists of two or more players participating against each other in a "Deathmatch" style face off with their rifles.
The game ends for each player as the player quit the game and only for the player quitting the game. Once destroyed, the pilot is ejected and floats back to the ground with the user's vehicle being respawned for continued play. In DeathMatch two or more players battle until the opposing vehicle is destroyed. The Strategy game ends when the opposing force lives are reduced to zero. Strategy offers the same type of control as in the single-player game. Strategy involves two or more players who compete in either as a player vs player, or playing in teams against one another, skirmishing for scrap collection and eventual map domination. Multiplayer īattlezone has a multiplayer feature that consists of three modes: Strategy, DeathMatch and Sniper. When a ship is destroyed, the pilot ejects and thus becomes vulnerable to being killed, but can escape by boarding any friendly vehicle. Players can acquire bio-metal scrap by either finding it or salvaging it from a destroyed enemy unit. Starting with a bio-metal recycler (the most basic construction unit), the player constructs vehicles to scavenge scraps of bio-metal, build base defenses, and construct new base vehicles capable of building more advanced structures and vehicles. Building and directing units is done via interface either by selecting onscreen object with the mouse or by using number keys on keyboard. The primary resource in Battlezone is bio-metal scrap which is used to produce new units and construct new buildings. A sequel, Battlezone II: Combat Commander, was released in 1999. In 2016, a remastered version titled Battlezone 98 Redux was released developed by Big Boat Interactive and published by Rebellion Developments. In 2000, a Nintendo 64 port was released under the name Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs.
Two expansion packs were released in 1998, Battlegrounds and The Red Odyssey. In Battlezone the player is controlling everything on the battlefield from the first person view. Activision remade it into a hybrid of a tank simulation game, a first-person shooter and a real-time strategy game. Aside from the name and presence of tanks, this game bears little resemblance to the original arcade game of the same name.
