BZ 1.4 vs 1.5 vs BZE
I just was surfing the forums here and noticed there really isn't much discussion on BZ 1.5 which is a very stable release and available on battlezone1.net. Is it just not recognized here because the graphics on it are phenomenal. The only downfall I saw is that there's not as many SP or IA missions because it's rather new. What are your guys' thoughts/imput?

Hi Wolfen, welcome to the site!
First off, there's no 1.4 vs 1.5 vs BZE. That infers that they are somehow mutually exclusive or that there is some sort of competition between them. This is untrue and is a propaganda tactic from BZ1.net.
We discuss 1.5 as the updates are released and we find issues or have enhancement requests. The releases are further apart these days which stretches out the discussions over months.
Folks here are also playing BZE but there's not a lot of discussion of that either, mainly when DX is working on a new release or incorporating IA or MPI.
I'm not sure what you mean be phenomenal graphics. The resolution options are better but the models haven't changed (much) since the original. There are high quality textures but that doesn't seem to qualify as phenomenal.

Thanks for the welcome FirBirGir, I wasn't aware of the false propaganda from bz1.net So I apologize for that. As far as the phenomenal graphics I was referring to the improvements that have been made to Battlezone over the years which is very much appreciated for us to continue our passion for bz.

Hi Wolfen,
A lot has improved in the game compared to the original. I remember the first time I tried BZ in XP and had to resort to software mode, it broke my heart
The fact that anyone is still playing the game 15 years after it's release is pretty amazing. There's so much available in gaming but there's nothing quite like BZ...
