The solar system is at war. Take command.
Battlezone: Combat Commander is back, and looking better than ever with slicker visuals, brand new achievements, modding support and more!
Fight across 24 intense missions, over 6 exotic living worlds, scavenging the battlefield for crucial bio-metal used to create powerful units, towering defenses, and vital facilities.
COMMAND A BATTALION
Control of over 30 unique unit types, from lethal tanks and tough ground units, to towering walkers and relentless air-support, and face off against the enemy in intense first-person combat.
ADVANCED AI
Units learn and improve as they gain combat experience - new units fight like recruits, while experienced units are a lot more effective in combat, using strafing manoeuvres, choosing weapons to suit the situation, or even retreating when necessary.

GO HEAD TO HEAD
Invite your friends for a cross-play multiplayer experience, including the classic Deathmatch mode, and a co-operative mode ‘MPI’ where players must work together to win by managing their offence, defence, and scrap collection.

System requirements

Minimum system requirements - Windows: 7 / 8.1 / 10 (64-bit only)
Processor: 3.0 GHz Intel Core2 Duo/AMD Phenom II
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: DirectX® 11.0 compatible graphics card with 1GB of memory
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 10 GB available space

Is this some kind of joke? I only needed a modest Direct3D 9 capable GPU to run Battlezone 2 1.3, even with all the significantly improved (resolution and otherwise) assets and shaders.

why is it "64-bit only"?

Because it's 2018 and this is a renderer overhaul to use OGRE with new art data. It's being sold to a 2018 market which should have 64-bit adoption well enough by now since hitting the budget consumer mainstream in 2005.
