Battlezone: Burns' Rebellion

Grand Prize Winner - Battlezone 98 Redux Mod Competition

Congratulations, Lieutenant, you've been selected for participation in Project Pedigree!

Live a story only hinted at in the Battlezone II campaigns and manual! As the Bio-Metal Wars raged on, a rising star of the NSDF, Dr. Armond Braddock, was tasked with developing a weapon to bring the conflict to an end. Under his direction, Project Pedigree focused on fusing the Bio-Metal into the very flesh of the NSDF's best- members of the Black Dog Squadron. This is a story of the super-soldiers that resulted.

Features:

• Two fully fledged, story driven, lua-powered instant action missions with a combined 20 interwoven mission objectives: Part I: Transduction, and Part II: Liberators
  
• In-game cinematics
  
• Original, hand sculpted terrains built to emulate the style of stock Battlezone
  
• 14 new skins and unit configurations for a new faction: Pedigree-EXperimental Black Dogs (“The PEX”). PEX units do not overwrite any stock BZR assets.
  
• 256 tweaked unit voice messages
  
• Advanced base-building custom AI
  
• Custom cheat codes (Try CTRL+SHIFT+CRICKET !)
  
  
• 11 weapons new to BZR:
  
• ARC Lance – Successor to the Bolt Buddy and progenitor to the Scion ARC Cannon, this low rate of fire cannon unleashes a slew of lightning bolts at your enemy.
  
• Plasma Bolt – Concentrated superheated plasma does wonders to an enemy craft.
  
• Ion Flechette – A prototype to the Scion Ion Gun, this cannon has much in common with its BZ2 cousin.
  
• Spine Cannon – An early prototype that would later become the Scion Fang and Quill, this weapon fires a spread of high-velocity Bio-Metal spines that pierce enemy craft.
  
• Flash Gun– A lighter, more ammo efficient version of the original flash. Great for slicing away at enemies.
  
• Acid Mortar – Personally developed by Braddock himself, this mortar sprays corrosive acid when deployed. Best to steer clear of the cloud!
  
• Plasmathrower – Developed alongside the Plasma Bolt, this mortar weapon launches a stream of superheated anti-Bio-Metal plasma in an arc. It is extremely destructive at close range, especially against stationary or slow moving targets.
  
• Stinger Battery – Like many P-EX weapons, the Singer Battery is heavily based on Chthonian tech. This weapon fires a swarm of homing missiles at an enemy craft.
  
• FAF Missile – A low power, low ammo requirement homing missile that automatically locks on to the nearest heat source.
  
• Seeker Mine – This mine doesn't wait for you to come to it, it deploys a modified WASP Seeker that hunts down and detonates on craft that stray too near.
  
• Vaulter Device – A short lived mine that unleashes a high-powered pulse of magnetic energy. This pulse sends all nearby ships in motion. While it is most commonly used as a “superjump” to scale steep terrain quickly or escape enemy fire, it can also be used in a pinch to deflect incoming ordinance or disrupt enemy battlefield formations.
