Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, originally developed past Pumpkin Studios and published past Eidos Interactive, at present developed by the Warzone 2100 Project. Compared to other real-time strategy games, it has a greater focus on artillery, radar, and counter-battery technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as game play progresses, a massive research tree, likewise as a vehicle design arrangement.

Story

In the late 21st century, NASDA (the North American Strategic Defense Bureau) developed and deployed a massive missile defense arrangement, including a network of nuclear-equipped satellites and ground-based launch sites. However, during a routine maintenance cheque, something went terribly wrong...

Multiplayer

Exterior of the story, Warzone 2100 merely has a single faction. This limits some of the variety that can be expected from real-time strategy games, although the single faction is very complex. Substantially, Warzone 2100 plays much like Earth 2150 with 3D units and terrain, customizable vehicles, a lack of traditional infantry, use of "research" to larn new technologies, and the differentiation of vehicles types.

Compared to other RTS's, Warzone 2100 has:

  • A unit design system that lets players choose bodies, propulsions, and weapons.
  • A greater emphasis on sensors and radar: Basic sensors detect units and can co-ordinate basis attacks. Counter-battery (CB) sensors find enemy artillery batteries and coordinate artillery strikes against enemy artillery. VTOL sensors and VTOL CB sensors coordinate VTOL attacks. Radar detectors detect enemy sensors.
  • A greater emphasis on artillery: With the assistance of sensors, late game artillery tin fire from huge distances.
  • A massive technology tree, with minor incremental advancements over existing technologies being required for later technologies.
