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.

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.
