The Return of the COW
Call of the Wild, is back! Yes, after a long (too long) hiatus,
COW is ready to rock and roll. Our treat for everyone is the
porting of all BattleZone 1 tanks into the BZ2 world. They
have been kept "consistent" in size, scale, speed
and weapons load out as they were originally configured with.
History Lesson (for the newbies)
BattleZone was my first on-line game experience. As soon
as I saw that picture in PCGamer, I knew I had to have it.
I played the single player missions for a couple of weeks
and then decided to take my act on-line. I started reading
the old Activision BattleZone message board and even began
participating in the discussions. The crew of characters was
amazing, and most, interesting in one form or another.
I decided that it would be a lot of fun to meet some of these
people and play BZ1 with them. I titled my post "Fuzzy
Challenges the Board" and invited everyone to meet me
for some dm'ing fun. Of course, I had traded "jokes"
with these folks for several months on the board, so we naturally
evolved into trying to type the funniest one liner of the
night while blowing each other up. Quickly, that became the
goal, instead of a minor side note. Skill at the mouse wasn't
the issue, quickness of mind and a sharp wit were required
weapons!
The name, COW comes from my second challenge to the board...Call
of the Wild - Fuzzy Challenges the Board, again. We want to
continue the tradition started by these COW's and pass them
along to everyone. The point of a COW is to have fun and not
worry about the score.
We've kept things as simple as possible. We even used an
installer to keep it tidy. The sound file is located in your
Addon folder and can be removed should you not like them.
However, if they are removed, a secret email message will
be sent to Fuzzy Pink Armadillo and he will be most displeased.
