描述


Experience a faithful yet fresh reimagining of Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs. Blending N64-era nostalgia with modern enhancements. Built entirely from scratch.

Key Features

  • Full Campaign + More
    All 10 original missions return, revamped and expanded, along with the Sniper Training level. Additional new missions are included, and the entire campaign is playable in optional Pilot Mode. Dynamic, persistent NPCs also accompany you during key operations.

  • All Modes Revived
    Core modes have been brought back with improvements — and more maps can be added post-release.
    • Campaign (Commander or optional Pilot Mode): 12 Missions

    • Offline Instant Action Arcade Mode: 7 Maps

    • Online Coop Arcade Mode: 7 Maps

    • Online Race Mode: 1 Map

    • Online Rapid Strategy (inspired by the N64 Strategy mode): 1 map

    • Online Death Match With Bots: 7 New Maps

    Pilot Mode now goes far beyond its original N64 implementation. With a simple cheat code toggle, you can enable or disable it at any time. When active, Pilot Mode automates most gameplay tasks:
    • Your Recycler auto-rebuilds production units
    • The Constructor builds base structures and defenses
    • Ammo and repair pods are deployed automatically
    • Friendly AI rescues you if stranded
    • Auto-counterattacks target enemy bases
    • Howitzers push the frontline
    • APCs auto-deploy
    • A turret grid protects your base
    • You’re given combat escorts

    It even adapts to escort-only missions without a base by managing AI support or rescue units when needed.

    Pilot Mode won’t win the mission for you but it can hold its own and offers a new way to play. If it ever gets in the way, just toggle it off and regain full control.

  • Dynamic Music System
    Enjoy the original Rise of the Black Dogs soundtrack shuffled during missions. Easily skip tracks, pause playback, or switch between Arcade-only tracks or the full OST.

  • Custom Cobra Tank
    Pilot a unique, player-specific Cobra tank inspired by the N64 box art with progressive upgrades and exclusive weapons throughout the campaign.

  • Visual and Audio Overhauls
    Enhanced skyboxes, dynamic weather, a new Mars environment, redesigned HUD, original N64 sound effects, fully voiced characters, new models, post-mission cutscenes, uniquely painted Black Dog faction for this mod (turn off any black dog skin mods you may have on to see them) and more.

  • Reimagined Content
    The story and characters have been lightly reinterpreted to fit a modern take — while preserving the overall flow and feel of the original campaign. Each standard mission has a hidden collectible in the level that ties back to the original N64 game.

Optional Companion Mods
N64 Black Dog Voices
N64 Original Models (WIP) - Includes OG Mammoth model
Better Skies
Better Terrain
Unique Black Dog Cockpit
Better Ordnance

Special thanks to Driveline for being an enormous help throughout development. He was instrumental in providing art, cutscenes, lots of playtesting/bugfixing, and proofreading. Thank you also to Guide Missile for helping me out with emulating the N64 and also some playtesting.

Disclaimer:
This mod is not affiliated with the Heracles Brigade Rise of the Black Dogs Decompilation Project. It is an entirely independent project, built from scratch over roughly 2 months without any involvement or consultation from that team. This is my own reimagined take on the campaign, designed to provide a quality experience in Battlezone 98 Redux.

Pilot Mode is fully functional but considered experimental. Mission balance and scripting are tuned for standard commander playthroughs.

Large file size is due to high resolution sky cubemaps, custom models, cutscene video files, .WAV format soundtrack (only format BZ is capable of using), and some redone textures.

End of Development Notice
Development for this mod is complete.
I do not plan to release further updates or new features.
I may provide critical bug fixes if major issues are reported, but otherwise, this mod should be considered in its final version.
Thank you for understanding — and for all your incredible support over the years!

Some base vs. base missions of various factions with the new super heavy tanks.

Thanks! No plans for making more IA missions at this time, what were you wanting to see?

This is awesome to play, any plans for instant action missions outside of arcade mode?

@jmw2001, I did a quick test on the workshop version but I'm not able to recreate this bug. Are you skipping the cutscene or letting it play? The only other thing I can think is the game might be running into a rendering bug when switching to the camera, often seen when using the DX11 renderer or non-English localization.

I've encountered an issue on Mission 3. The intro cutscene plays and shows the Mammoth. However after the cutscene ends, the camera stays looking at the Mammoth instead of switching to the player's view.

Excellent. Looking forward to giving it a go!

@Wideload, I've pushed an update that addresses all these bugs. Check Steam Change Notes for further details. I was not able to reproduce the APC thing - if it happens consistently please let me know and as many details as possible of what was happening.

Pilot mode was on. They turned red and started shooting at me. I originally though the same but they were actively targeting me. Even said Black Dogs on their info tab.
