The only narration is in the opening of the American campaign and the plot is hard to glean, all communications besides the pre-recorded responses to orders are sent via squint-o-vision text messages in the corner of the screen. Their involvement against the CRA in The Red Odyssey or their eventual fate as the Scions in the sequel is not touched upon. Due to a lack of communication, the Black Dogs believe that the whole thing has been a conspiracy and thus set out to collect alien relics and return to Earth with the news, while having to deal with NSDF, CCA and Fury forces along the way.
This campaign takes place after the NSDF and CCA team up once the Furies become the new enemy. The game was rebuilt in 2000 to the N64 - Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs - It added a third campaign featuring the Black Dogs squadron as well. Suddenly, a new enemy in Red China attacks, sparking a conflict that eventually takes the player to a distant planet called "Elysium". The NSDF Black Dogs, a Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits who get all the worst missions, have been assigned to Ganymede, a relative backwater in the scope of the conflict going on. It takes place largely on Ganymede and is contemporaneous with the events on the other Galilean moons of the original game. The player's character, American tank pilot and battlefield commander Grizzly One, attempts to lead his forces to victory against the Soviets whilst unraveling the mysteries of the bio-metal his superiors command him to kill in order to obtain.Īn expansion was released later that same year, developed by Team Evolve, dubbed The Red Odyssey. Thus begins a new, hidden chapter of the Cold War, the one too brutal to televise.
Both nations sneak their armies into space under the guise of the "Space Race". The Soviet Union in turn forms the Cosmo Colonist Army. The US forms the National Space Defense Force. Just as quickly, both sides begin to think about how this new material could further their efforts in the Cold War. After a meteor shower hits the Arctic circle in 1952, American and Soviet scientists simultaneously discover an amazing new metallic compound capable of being molded into vehicles and equipment at fantastic speeds and possessed of unique organic properties. It is a hybrid vehicle combat, FPS, and RTS. Battlezone, released by Activision in 1998, is set up as a revival of the earlier games.
