UFO2000 is going to eventually become such remake. We are planning to
implement massive multiplayer mode in the game and it will have both
surface and underwater missions. The reason is simple, it is easier to
hide things underwater, so when the player goes offline it is easier
to explain why his base can't be attacked. More details are available
here: http://ufo2000.lxnt.info/pmwiki/index.php/MassiveMultiplayer/HomePage

But we are not too optimistic and this game mode is not going to be
implemented soon if nobody else helps in the development of the game.

I'm going to release a bugfix and balance improvement version in the
last days of May or in the beginning of June.

I will also have a vacation in Summer, so probably I will be able so
add some cool features to the game during that time. In general, I
plan to make the game fully moddable (ability to edit and change any
weapons in the game and also add custom unit skins) and add some dump
AI opponent for single player games. Also improvements to the game
server are required for proper player ratings calculation and holding
tournaments.

So the work on this massive multiplayer mode will probably start only
in the end of the year if nobody helps.
