If it had been BZ1 I'd have clicked the link.  But BZ2?  Nah.  Waste
of cycles.

Well I guess we'll agree to disagree here. BZ1 was weak. Kinda like
Iwar 1. BZ2 of and by itself, was also too easy. So we can agree.

Not the point of the thread....but WTF.

I loved playing both BZ and BZ2.  I was more of a strategy guy, so BZ2
was far from a disappointment for me.  The online play was a hoot.  I
reckon it would be safe to say that I was easily in the top 10 of
online players in the first year and a half after BZ2 came out.
Probably not a great feat considering the popularity of the game, but
it goes to show how much I liked it.

There is still quite an active MP community. The 1.3 patch and FE mod
changes and bug fixes have helped alot. There are some pretty killer
maps now, and the AI is alot better then 1.2 

They don't bounce off each other quite as much, and can actually hold
their own. The new Hadian ships are pretty awesome. Also they made a
new build strategy, but it's still pretty much BZ2.

The singleplayer for FE is pretty freakin hard though. You'll die,
ALOT. =P

Sorry, Shin.  Normally I think you talk a lot of sense, but if you
favour BZ2 over BZ1 then I will be forced to rethink my opinion.

Seriously though; there are two camps when it comes to BZ.  The first
(righteous) camp, believes that the original BZ, with it's gritty,
in-the-trenches feel, is better than the plastic, buggy,
slgihtly-better-graphics-but-no-gameplay-to-speak-of BZ2.

The second, (moronic) camp believes that the plastic, buggy,
slgihtly-better-graphics-but-no-gameplay-to-speak-of BZ2 is better
than the gritty, in-the-trenches, you-are-on-the-frontline and you'd
better not forget it BZ1.

I guess we'll just have to agree to differ.

Well it's not that I prefer BZ1 to BZ2. The mod was made for BZ2, and
it's a pretty good mod. But you should prolly rethink it anyway.

Honestly, it's been so damn long since I played BZ1, that I can't even
remember really. I don't think BZ2 has left my HDD since I bought it.

to agree or disagree, is that the question?  

Fine. I disagree to agree that we are agreeing to disagree. Agreed? =P
