New player From Tavernier Florida

The word is slowly spreading

Not really new, Just returning after a 10 year hiatus
I've resided in The Conch Republic ( The Fla. Keys) since '93 & bought BZ in Aug. '98
I was just tryin to shake some rust off my Grendel
Back around '99-'00 when I made maps sometimes I'd get slammed with map making ?'s
or hassled over my clan affiliation {XCS}
This is one encognito ID I used, DX always knew my alias
I thought it was neat, Whenever I got a kill, The text would read:
" Whoever was killed by: HIS EVIL TWIN "


I was surprised to see everyone's I.P. visable to all,
I guess that was a bigger threat when there where 60-100 players
at any given time on the Activision servers

That's great you found here, it's the best place to game as well as keeping bz alive. If BzE can get a nightly lobby of 15-20 active players it would sell itself, even though it's free

Visible IPs kind of serve the opposite purpose here; if we all know who one another is it's a sense of security.
We keep a list of the troublemakers for easy identification.

Oh and welcome back!

Your name rings bells. You say you made maps? Hopefully we've got some in our collection!

Welcome back.

It's always nice to hear an old bomber pilot is going throw his hat in the ring. We have bomber games quite often. And probably 60% of them are team bomber games.

Yeah, I believe there 3 in BZE. Bane-DM,Lava Bombers & possibly DM-Plateaus
I ran Ometi'klon's Battlezone Interface, which is still on Angelfire.com but hasn't been maintained since 2001 Most of the links are broken
But I preserved all maps on CD disc.
My 1st BZ editing was flag making & it graduated into map making
I made Bomber only maps for all planets, Venusian Bombers, Lunar Bombers,Titan Bombers,Lava Bombers,Achilles Bombers,
Martian Bombers,My Europa, Ski Bombers,Colliseum Metal Bombers, Corner Pocket DM, which featured Manable Gun Towers,
All U Base DM & All U Base ST, both won 1st place in BZF maps contests
The TRO DM Hogs Vs Walkers, Chinese Heavy Tanks & Walkers only.
I started making maps converting BZ1 maps to the BZ2 Demo, made several BZ2 maps, then came back to BZ1
With some help from DX I made BZ2 DM which was the first time the ISDF Sabre & Scion Warrior appeared in BZ Multiplayer
Along with Omet's All Bombers DM featuring 8 bomber models
I made a DM for the Community Map Project a BZ2 mod.
With help from [BZ] Avatar I made the ISDF Tomahawk bomber , which was the blue aerial bomber converted to a pilotable heavy razor,
DX converted it to BZ1 for Omet's All Bombers map
