Guy gives a negative review to Battlezone after playing 8k hours; He's right

My god I love BZ98. For me, the remaster was frustrating. The most annoying thing was that certain things, like the combat AI, had been improved in ways that broke the balance of the single player campaign. I doubt players with the subject’s level of mastery would be bothered, but it significantly reduced my enjoyment.

It remains a rare gem, though. There are so few RTSs that place you in the world there isn’t even a name for the genre. The only others I can think of are Brutal Legend and Sacrifice. But BZ98 was the one that I discovered first.

I guess Giants: Citizen Kabuto is another.

are you me? I have the same complaints and memories...

Yes, loved that game! Would have loved it more if it was actually finished.

Ultrabots (1993) was another.

Command and Conquer:Renegade was a (somewhat)contemporary of bz98 and scratched that BZ itch.

I remember waiting the The Pitts renegade server to start at 5 PM. Great memories from that game, it's a shame Westwood was acquired right when it was released.

Some of the remakes are just career springboards for wannabe developers. Look how talented we are, we can do this, you must employ us! Others are just plain ignorant, thinking they can cut corners.

The thing that comes to mind is the awful System Shock remake that some middle finger showing snotty kid created. Ruining the atmosphere, by changing the music, the setting, the intro and outro and even the looks. I can understand when Ferrari sues bloody idiots because they mod their cars in an unacceptable way.
