Warzone 2100

This game is a PC Legend, its a 3D 'legos with guns' real time strategy game that was way ahead of its time. The best part is that the license has been released to the open-source community so the game is still in development 13 years after its launch.

It was a very good game when it was released, with spectacular explosions and fantastic three-dimensional graphics that enhanced the gameplay. It has an extremely complex and complicated tech research system that, while not user-friendly, offers a lot of possibilities, allowing for different play styles and increasing amply the game's duration. It's a 3D game where the topography of the terrain is very important, so you have to consider the mountains. Additionally, you can rotate the camera and zoom in & out. I had a lot of fun bulding my base and the defensive positions, as there is total freedom to do so; for example, you can build radars and torrets in strategic points around the map. You can also customize your own **** game is no longer for sale, but you can play for free an improved version made by fans. This version enhances the enemy AI, making skirmishes much more fun. I spent many hours playing skirmishes against the AI, even with custom maps made by the community. It was an underrated game ahead of its time; for example, it's better than Command & Conquer Red Alert 2, which was released a year and a half later.

Everyone knows the series such as Unreal Tournament, Command & Conquer and so on... But if I tell people what games I have played most since my dawn of PC gaming, most look completely spaced out when I tell them about this severely underrated game. I don't think it is a matter of not being good enough to compete with the more known series, but more about the sheer lack of being found by the main public that finally made sure that Warzone 2100 was unknown to most. And that is sad in my eyes... very sad. Because if W2100 would have gotten the attention it deserved, we would surely be looking at Pumpkin Studios / Eidos developing W2200... and beyond. The game featured a depth which would pale the unit selection of Command & Conquer and provided fresh gameplay every time you started another game. Hours and hours I have put into this game before I checked out every angle of the tech tree, before I had build every unit and before I checked out every map. I try to stay updated about how the unofficial development of W2100 goes on. Since the release of the code, several projects are running with this. But it is hard to keep a good overview of where W2100 began and what is now W2100+. In the end I think every W2100 fan would like to see a full on W2200, but which gaming studio would pick up this brilliant, yet underrated project and launch it into something new and catchy, while remaining true to the old game? If anyone on Kickstarter or Steam Greenlight has this idea... he surely has my vote! Until then do yourself a favor, look up the free download on the internet, forget about graphics and stick it out to experience an unbelievable warzone adventure.

One free game, still some leftover updates. Custom built units with lots of upgrades is awesome for a first 3D RTS game. This game remains to have some leftover bugs. It's also one of the fewest RTS games that can change angles and turn the battlefield around at 360 degrees as well as the background shading in the click-and-drag box.

An amazing game! Sad the game developer 'Pumpkin Studios' died away with **** a well made game. Though old, this game was revolutionary. Its passing was quick and has been left without any attention. But, what RTS's allows you to build you own tanks? Have unlimited upgrades? Build your own planes? Build you own bases with a LARGE array of buildings and defenses? Warzone 2100 can. Plus for 1999 graphics it isn't too shabby. Also did I mention its free to download now?

Good game, especially now that it's free. The artillery is overpowered that's the only downside. Otherwise, it's just great, if you don't want to spend any money download, install and play there is always someone online. It might be not easy to set up a server though if you are behind some routers or firewalls.
