I am happy to see Warzone 2100 still alive to this day. I love the game, and many thanks goes out to those who volunteer their time and skill to continue giving this beloved RTS live. We appreciate it allot. See you all in game!

Much credit is due to pumpkin/eidos for developing the original wz2100. I remember playing the demo of this on a disc that came with tomb raider and instantly fell in love with it, it was ahead of its time, and even today I still prefer it to many other RTSs.

That being said, the revival project is a strong and certainly one of the best efforts witnessed in keeping a game as primitive as this available and updated (by a 3rd party)

Spring isn’t a game, it’s a game engine. :<

One very important thing!
Warzone2100 is, in my experience, very addictive!!
I may as well delete every other game I have, except the one’s I paid for. Oh, sure, I tell myself that I’m only going to play for a little while, and the next thing I know is that five or six hours have passed.
Warzone2100 is more addictive than heroin or pistachios.

If you’re playing the campaign I recommend downloading the video files from here to complete the experience (545mb for standard quality, 162mb for low): http://wz2100.net/download The video file will add cut scenes with better mission details in place of the screenshot above with the “OBJECTIVE:” message.

Thanks for sharing this, didn’t hear about it before. I won’t miss having a look at it when 2.4 will be out.

A lot of wisdom is hidden within the unique campaign structure, and multiplayer mode is well-balanced and thoughtfully designed, inspiring the development of the game theory. Pretty much the only game i currently play.

Version 2.3.4 in ubuntu repos had some very bad bugs, so try getting the latest stable version anyway.

Yes, the version in the repos is 2.3.4. In the article I was pointing out the build-dep command to get the development files needed to compile 2.3.4 (which are also enough to compile 2.3.8, the latest release).
