Borderlands Is one hell of a game. I still have yet to finish my first play-through yet. But that's because my laptop is still in repair (fingers crossed that they'll send it back to me before the end of next week).

I'm doing a Mordecai run right now and then I'll do a Roland run.

The DLC also looks really good. They just announced the second one today! To bad the PC gaming master race has to wait for them as apposed to the console peasants.

A little disappointed that these DLC updates weren't included in the first place, but gaming companies are bank rolling on them.

I second Red Devil's motion!

Don't forget Team Fortress 2! (Although not free, you can't afford NOT to have it).

And Tribes, although I havn't actually played it yet it's supposed to be pretty sweet.

I don't know if your an RTS fan but Starcraft is also a must play.

That's all I got off the top of my head. I'll post some more if think of any.

This topic has probably been talked to death here but I want to hear what you all have to say on it.

I just got my copies of BZ and BZII this week (unfortunately I can't play them because my gaming laptop is in repair ) and lucky for me they came with their respective manuals and keyboard layout cards. I'm one of those rare people that actually enjoy reading the manual for games so long as they are good. And I also like holding the actual CD.

But I'm also a fan of Steam and it's service. It's very convenient and often times has better deals then normal game stores.

I like both but I hope total digital distribution doesn't take over. So which do you all prefer, or do you like both?

I ended up just getting a normal copy. Should get it in about a week or so. To bad my gaming laptop is in repair though, but that's kind of a good thing since I have college finals coming up soon .

I'll contact Red Devil's lead and see where it goes.

Thanks again!

The Red Odyssey is classic and very good.  One of my all-time favorites.  I talked with the lead designer a few years ago and he said he may have a few copies lying about, so try getting in touch with him for a legit copy.

Thanks Red, do you know how I could get in touch with him? If you could PM me that would be great.

And thanks to everyone who has replied. I must say, I thought this community would have long been dead after I stopped playing. But seeing you all still active just lifts my spirits even more for this underrated but great series.

I think I'll hang around a little more then what I did last time.

One last thing, another noobish question, off topic but how do you set an Avatar? Couldn't find the option to do it in the profile manager.

Thanks again!

I guess a better question to ask is if Red Odyssey is any good. I remember reading somewhere that the expansions weren't all that great but being the completionist that I am I want to play them.

If I can't get the expansions any other way I'll just buy a regular copy of BZ1 and be done with it.

Edit: I mean buy the expansions, I'm not looking for an installer link or torrent.

Here's Battlezone Gold for sale on amazon but the prices are insane. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00001SHMP/ref=sr_1_olp_5?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1259427617&sr=8-5&condition=used

Insane is putting it mildly. But I'm guessing the copies of Gold were limited at the time of release and are now collectors items?

I didn't mean if there was a BZ2 Gold edition, I ment the first Battlezone Gold edition as ssuser pointed out at the end of his post.

Sorry for the confusion. BZC is a mod of BZ2 I'm guessing, should have just said BZ1.

Is there a way to get the two expansions from Gold if I just bought the original battlezone that didn't come with them?

Thanks for the quick replies! And of course I will uphold the no-piracy rule. And yes my new BZ2 copy is legal for those wondering.

Hello BZ Universe,

I guess I'll tell my story first before I ask my probably noobish question.

I used to play BZ2 many years ago, infact it was my first PC game and really got me into PC gaming and gaming in general. I played the crap out of it (unfortunatly I never finished the SP missions, too young at the time to really play them well) and even joined this very forum to get help and mod's.

But after a while, I stopped playing and moved on to other games. But with the closing of Pandemic studios I had HUGE nostalgia rush to play BZ2 again and get BZC. I couldn't find my original BZ2 copy (think I lost it ) and just bought a nice one off ebay.

But for BZC I was wondering if it was worth it to get the Gold version or just get the original one. Or is there a way to upgrade the original to Gold or should I just buy the original and torrent the Gold version (after hanging around /v/ for a while you get used to the idea of torrenting, although I personally have never done it yet). Gold is expensive and I don't really have that kind of money to be throwing around on a decade old game.

Now I probably just set myself up to get banhammered but I'll uphold my honor if you guys say not to torrent.

Thanks for the help!
