http://rebelliondevelopments.tumblr.com/post/122765145116/an-open-letter-to-battlezone-fans :shock: When I read this , my brain started dripping out of my ears from anticipation. I'm plenty skeptical still now that the initial hype has faded, but at this point I can only be hopeful that the sort of...

Sounds like quite the challenge. Good luck!

From what I can tell, almost all terrain editors use something like a heat map in order to sculpt the terrain. Heat maps are 2D in nature and do not allow for overlap. I would like to implement an editing system similar to both Battlezone 2's editor and Halo's forge mode. Ideally, a satellite view w...

UI and movement/controls are definitely the top priority for me. The genre just doesn't work well without those being extremely tight.

Well, I certainly don't envision creating anything which would replace BZ or BZ2. I just want to make something that follows a bit in its footsteps; a "spiritual" successor rather than a direct sequel.

I haven't played much with Unity, but my experience with UE4 suggests it could be useful. I have no doubt that Unreal would be a particularly powerful engine. Since I have no real experience with developing games in a 3D environment yet, though, I've chosen Unity because it is free and has a massiv...

recyclers need to have a cap, if only for the limits of varbs. Maybe increasing the cap significantly, then? In the current implementation, I'm concerned that once a user captures more than their half of the map, the economic effects cause a snowball because the defender is not able to pump out mor...

Neat! I haven't really been here in years and after looking around for a bit, I noticed Bionite: Origins. That's awesome! I still want to pursue something myself as a hobby, but I'm ecstatic to see that someone is actively working on a spiritual successor. EDIT (after looking into it a bit more): Ev...

I really want to see a successor to the Battlezone series, a sentiment likely shared by everyone else here. Why else would there be a "Why a 'Battlezone 3' is unlikely " sticky topic? A couple years ago I hoped MAD would be that game. Sadly, the project ended with the loss of much more tha...

It doesn't matter if Microsoft hired every single person that worked on BZ1 & BZ2. They wouldn't do a darn thing with BZ. Microsoft would say "you work for us, and you work on Halo now." Halo is Microsoft's main cash cow. They're going to milk it, producing sequels that are similar to...

Isn't 343 Industries making Dust 514 at the moment? Which is supposed to be split between consoles and PC's? I think the idea is something similar to EVE Online for the PC Gamers, but a regular FPS for console gamers. Basically, PC has the brains, Console has the FPS Braun. Could have the totally w...

So.... maybe.... Halo: Battlefront? >.>

So... I've heard that a lot of the former Pandemic employee were hired by 343i. What do you guys think are the odds of us seeing a Halo: Combat Commander? I'd buy it
