What is Battlezone 98 Redux?
This first-person action and real-time strategy game takes place in an alternate 1960s space race that hides a US-Soviet war over alien bio-metal. In separate American and Soviet campaigns, you pilot combat vehicles, command units, collect bio-metal, and build and defend bases across planetary battlefields. Online matches include deathmatch and strategy modes.
