The Space Race was a lie. In the late 1950's, a meteor shower pummeled the Bering Straits. In the debris, American and Soviet scientists simultaneously discovered an off-world bio-metal that they could fabricate into amazing vehicles and weapons. They quickly gathered up and depleted all of the material that had fallen to Earth, and both sides were left wanting more.
This began the REAL Space Race... The one too brutal to televise. They launched their space programs in their efforts to find additional bio-metal deposits, and it was the military imperative that made the space race so intense -- not Kennedy's "for the greater good of man." Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon was actually the biggest cover-up in American history. Nobody knew that we'd built a full moon base just a few feet away. In fact, it was General Collins, commander of the American moon base at Eagle's Nest One, who took the original picture of Neil stepping onto the moon. It's amazing that nobody ever asked who took that picture. The NSA thought they'd made a real mistake when they released it.
Now you are in command! Lead your troops across the galaxy on a mission to control the alien technology before the Soviets do. Only one super-power can survive in the Battlezone.
Battlezone1.net brings you back BattleZone's amazing Stars and Stripes & The Red Brigade missions and The Red Odyssey's challenging Dogs of War & Red Storm missions, plus a chance to play numerous opponents in multiplayer. The great mixture of the adrenaline rush of first-person action with the strategy and resource management, never seen before or after, is the main reason why the critics say that BattleZone is still one of the best PC games of all time.

Battlezone is an FPSRTS, very unique for its time (1996). The campaign is follows two stories of the NSA (Americans; National Space Agency) and the CCA (Soviet Union; Cosmo Colony Army) battling it out across the Solar System for a biometal capable of many things. The multiplayer is wonderful, theres two gamemodes, Deathmatch and Strategy. Deathmatch is obvious, you can pick any vehicle from either side. You can teamup with other deathmatchers and form teams. Strategy is when two to four people build up platoons to battle each other out. You can teamup with other platoons to destroy another one, the key to your survival is the survival of the Recycler. The down-sides is that there is limited number of units, making a variety of units hard. Another downside is that the game can be hacked, not so easily mind you, but still. The hacker can find out where your outpost is immediately, have an impenetrable hull, and unlimited ammo, and unlimited amount of scrap and pilots. If you spot one, report him to the forums, he will banned from Battlezone servers.
