Oh, a newer Battlezone. Not the original from 1980, the first 3D coin-op game.[1]

What's wild is, it kind of resembles Golgotha, the aborted FPS/strategy tank shooter from Crack Dot Com, the studio formed by former Id Software Linux evangelist Dave Taylor.

Golgotha was to be Crack's second game, but they folded before it could be finished, and released what code and assets they did have as open source (this was when CatB was still fresh).

As soon as I read crack dot com I recalled the gun firing sound from Abuse :)

Fun game, too bad about the company.
