Carey Chico of Carey James Music is now offering the music he created for Battlezone II as a free download, including some tracks that were not previously available. The soundtrack is available on the same website that hosts the unofficial beta patches that have continued to support the action/strategy hybrid over all these years.

Cool.
I sure do wish that unique game genre hadn't died off. It certainly has been wonderful to have the original developers continue their work on the engine and enhancing mod support. Those guys obviously have a passion for their strategy game.
I know battlezone gets all the action/rts love but did you ever play urban assault

surely you mean 17 months before?
Urban Assault had terrible controls, strange interface, and was boring.
it's also an early 'next gen' color lacking game too 😜

I just looked at some vids of that game and the gameplay reminds me a bit of O.G.R.E. where you have to create forces to send after a nearly invincible supertank and destroy it before it reaches and destroys your base. I never did manage to ever destroy the O.G.R.E. in that game. 🤣
How about Uprising? That has some sort of vehicle control I think. Been meaning to try it.
Kind of. Uprising had you in some super tank and you could instantly spawn vehicles that were basically cannon fodder.
Battlezone was the best of those types of games IMHO - I bought the first one when it came out and played it to death 😀
If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.
