The guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing 8k hours

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 played an astounding amount of Urban Assault. The only other games that ever scratched even a similar itch were Allegiance and EvE.

Wild too that Urban Assault and Allegiance were both pre-xbox Microsoft games.
