Man, I see now how discussions around here can degrade real fast.

I still think that by using the name "Battlezone", the game pretty much *has* to be a tank-based, ground-based, first-person game (by intellectual property rights?), since that was the original game.  How the modern BZ morphed into a full 3D RTS game is still amazing.

If the game was really about flying, Atari could/would have been called it something else, like "Armored Skies" or something.

P.S. It's nice to see people still like and get worked up over this game.

I don't have to shake hands with AV, he knows he's my bud.  So does Av. (AV and Av)

Thats right...I only do it because I know I can get away with it...and I love to hear Mower's AlGore-esqe condescending sighs  


Feeb...that sucks about the warp for you...it has been rock solid for me and everybody I've been playing with...minimal re-syncs, too.  Your problem reminds me of the trouble Aaron Horrocks had with 1.2 and multiple machines...it just would NOT behave for him.  Had him at the house three times with 2 different machines and it was absolutely fugbuck for him.  None of the assembled nerds could help him...we never did figure out what the common factor was.

It seems lagless for me, but I usually play with people that I have about a 40ms latency with as well, I have played with Technoid once or twice and even him and hix 56k played well, although he did warp a few times.

Atari did make  a similar looking vector game called Red Baron.  I had it mastered...could play it as long as I wanted on a single quarter.  The guy that ran the arcade would hit the breaker switch to get me off it...and act like nothing had happened.  One day I'm gonna find that little dweeb and beat him senseless...

[MowerMan]

You go AV!!!  (heh heh)

[SilverB1rd]

I would caution people about blaming the new physics for the new warp just yet, you may be proven wrong.

[BZ FeebleEffort]

I do wish I were Silver....I hope someone can prove me wrong....

[MowerMan]

Wow...  AV can hear those *sighs* throught a message board...  Amazing!!!

[ReCoN]

Soliciting thanks here are we?

I wanna thank TV for ZST.  Theres a patch that took care of hovering without destroying the rest of the online gameplay.  And it was completed in some small fraction of the time it took to put out this latest MPI/Modder's wet dream.

Thank the passive agressive devlopers of the so-called 1.3 beta?  Sure,  Thanks.

As programmers I'm sure you aren't in touch with fiscal reality anyway, so working on a failed patch for free shouldn't have been a big deal for you.  Perhaps the next patch you decide to take 4 years to complete will reflect a little of the community's desires.

But as they always say: "you get what you pay for"

[SilverB1rd]

Dont take much time to read do you recon?

1.3 is not complete yet and if you have any real gripe with 1.3 besides flying say so, it will most likely be looked at. Even with flying being removed the fix does not decrease the max speed a unit can do. Yes the ships felt slower and less agile but that was fixed by a couple odf tweaks by people who actually tried to help out everone insted of just complaning like a whiney 2 year old.

you might want to join Major Toms map team so you can all play 1.2 together.

I thank Ken and GSH, but this has been said before its time we all hunker down and find bugs.

AGAIN I call on people to play games with different combinations of Broadband and Dial up settings. please check if even when your on dial up setting it to BB helps reduce lag.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

i dont think people cared much for what i said / sais so telling him



if you have any real gripe with 1.3 besides flying say so, it will most likely be looked at.

is preaty much errr hmm wrong

oh and fixing the odf... well - its just a temp fix cause in the next beta or the finals it was going to be deleted so nice of nathan / ken

[SilverB1rd]

No it wont be removed, just you wont be able to hold yourself in the air and gain altitud with side thruster.

[AcneVulgaris]

Wow...  AV can hear those *sighs* throught a message board...  Amazing!!!

I also know when you're picking your nose...so STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

Has BZ2 been out for 4 years?  Has it been that long?

Or is reality distorted in the vicinity of this post?   lol...
