My guess is that it will suffer from excessive detail and effects (like most games now) and you will find yourself set against 1 or 2 enemy's most of the time (or have your framerate crushed), rather than the hordes possible in the original. This was doom3's problem, I don't want to admire the deta...

Honestly, it seems like it's taking a lot of its mechanics from Halo (regenerating "health," two-weapons-only and grenades [pipe bombs], things like that). While there's nothing wrong with that exactly, it's veering drastically away from what made Duke Nukem 3D so fun. I miss the old arcad...

Being a turn-based, play-by-email sort of thing, it doesn't take a huge amount of time, like Starcraft or similar games. Unless you play ten games simultaneously, but I don't think even the top players do that.

REALLY interesting new indie game. I'll let TotalBiscuit, the popular Starcraft 2 commentator, sell it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jJrUY27O0Y Been playing this for a few days, and I'm really enjoying it. The learning curve isn't very steep, and its gameplay mechanics mean games can take 30 seco...

Is there a list of BattleZone 2 mapping and modding tutorials? I know the very basics of the editor, but not scripting, weapon-making or anything else. I've been considering taking up deathmatch/strategy mapping and maybe modding, though I won't even consider making a full mod, yet (I did think up a...

Give me $11,000, an empty, soundproof/isolated storage container, a chair, rope/chains, a brick and a hive of fire ants and I can extract the information you need.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I apologize for shamelessly advertising (actually, if I apologize, I guess it isn't shameless, but whatever). If this is against any rules (and I couldn't find any against this, specifically), then go ahead and lock/etc. it. I've been trying to get more publicity without resorting to Facebook-like &...

What part, exactly? If you mean the Nadir drones, they're tough in that they have chainguns (not totally sure. Orange miniguns :P), but they usually come alone, aside from a few waves at the very end. If you're having trouble with the gun tower, use your Advanced Shadow missile to snipe it (can't re...

Is there a list anywhere of in-development mods?

The newest versions of FRAPS seem to have much less impact than before, though the vast amount of data it outputs can put a serious strain on your computer. Based on my test recording, FRAPS writes out about one bype per pixel per frame, which is almost 20MB/s at 640x480 and 60FPS. In essence, your...

FaceBook is like prison. You spend your time doing nothing, writing on walls and getting poked by people you don't know.

The ruined Cthonian walker that you see on Venus in BattleZone 1 that you reverse-engineer walker technology from was called the Cerberus, as well.

How would the Core AI come into the Hadean's possession, and how would the Hadeans get control of it?

They'd have to. I wouldn't imagine the original Black Dog squadron alone was large enough to fight as much as they do in BZ2, especially not after 40 years if they couldn't reproduce. Even so, there still aren't a lot of them.

Still, the gun towers are a lot more durable. My turrets are dying faster than I can replace them, and the terrain around the one accessible scrap pool is murder on the turrets.
