Battlezone II: Combat Commander

Pandemic Studios | Activision |

Jump in and take command in a fight that spans six exotic worlds with diverse environments - from steaming, swampy jungles crawling with deadly creatures to rocky wastelands strewn with boiling lava pits to ruined cities half-buried in nuclear snow. Players start by building a base from which they command a force of armored vehicles, infantry, and aircraft through a series of exploratory, offensive and defensive missions. Gamers will drive a variety of tanks and walkers, pilot the scout ships, and even jump out and fight an evil and challenging alien enemy on foot. Each side will choose from an arsenal of powerful weapons including guided missiles, mortars, mines and bazookas. This revolutionary game is the sequel to 1998's Action Game of the Year (Computer Gaming World). Complete Control Over the Battlefield!

Post news Report RSS Battlezone II - Unofficial Public Beta Patch 1.3 v5.1

For the game that was 10 years ahead of its time (and still is..) On top of the many fixes and additions from previous patches: - DX9 supported - Vista/W7 supported - DX 3D Sound supported - Recycler Variants supported - Multiple races supported - Many bugs squashed - and so on...

Posted by on

The major improvements of 1.3 public beta 5.1, compared to the last release (tech alpha 5) are:

- Performance optimizations to DirectX 9 graphics, most noticeably in the terrain rendering. Satellite view should be far faster, especially on slower machines

- EMBM bumpmaps work once again. High res shadows are re-enabled, but still just as buggy as it's always been (since Battlezone II v1.0)

- Local fog should look better

- Various crash bugs fixed

- Max vertex count for models has been upped
