You can easily command other tanks in your squad to attack or defend, or instruct your support units and buildings to repair or create new units. In addition to the two single-player campaigns, you have the option of playing with up to four players on multiplayer missions. The Battlezone artificial intelligence is both good and bad. The different vehicles will swerve and dodge while firing back, but your people need constant babysitting.
I found it really annoying when my expensive bombers were using modern combat tactics while firing their empty missile racks at the enemies. When I tried to tell them to resupply their ammo, they started running in circles while they were being destroyed.
I was also disappointed by the missions in single player. When there is supposedly another base attacking the Soviets with you, you are really on your own. What this means is that the mission appears to be a "coordinated strike" -- you will hear incoming transmissions from your allies around the corner and even have a camera you can look through to see your friend's base -- yet when you look at your radar a little more closely, there are NO allied units doing anything.
It was especially disappointing since the enemy AI can be so effective. The graphics are unbelievable. While watching the intro, I found myself thinking, "I hope the actual game will look like this. If you turn on all the graphics options and detail levels, the sights knock your socks off, especially when your enemies are blown away. On my Pentium , though, I had all the detail levels on their lowest settings since I prefer smooth gameplay.
At that level it looked more like MechWarrior 1. Some of the options have trouble, though. For example, when using line skip on daytime missions, it is nearly impossible to see what is going on.
The sounds are mostly well done, from the different accents of each of the pilots to the footsteps of the walker robots. On the other hand, the battle sound effects were a little disappointing. When I fired a volley of missiles at the enemy, I would see a terrific explosion, with smoke trailing behind the warheads.
As they collided on the enemy hull, I would hear a sound similar to the popping of Rice Krispies cereal. A lot of the time, the only way I could tell there was a battle going on was that mysterious voice telling me my forces were under attack. The music was just sort of there. I thought the tunes could have used some kind of theme. Supports Direct3D compatible 3D accelerators. Modem play requires The booklet also has brief reviews of the different vehicles. For example, they don't tell you that your barracks can only supply pilots to vehicles if there is a vehicle open for you and that you need to get a certain distance away from the vehicle.
This would be helpful to people trying to use stolen tanks. The manual also doesn't tell you how to ally with other players in a multiplayer game. In fact it says you can't ally, yet when I played, I found I actually could. That was very strange. This game is a must-try for anyone who liked the MechWarrior games and has many of the good aspects in it.
After that, all that is left is to get some friends to play multiplayer with you -- I had a lot of fun with my friends over the network. Browse games Game Portals. Install Game. Click the "Install Game" button to initiate the file download and get compact download launcher.
