Battlezone II: Combat Commander

Battlezone II: Combat Commander, often abbreviated to BZII and BZ2, is a first-person shooter and real-time strategy game which was developed by Pandemic Studios for Activision and released on the Microsoft Windows operating system on December 31, 1999; it is the 4th title in the Battlezone series, and much like its immediate predecessor which was released the previous year, it's a hybrid of a tank simulation, a first-person shooter and a real-time strategy game. The player's object is to pilot various futuristic vehicles (while using the function keys to select and command units and structures), and the game also features two races - the International Space Defense Force (humans) and Scions (aliens).
