I bet it's more than 6 years I haven't played it. Maybe I should try it with my current rig.

Game runs fine im using the BZ2_v13TechAlpha5_english patch found here:
http://www.filefront.com//bz2+v13tec.../fileinfo.html
This pc is only for internet browsing and playing older games - BZ 2 is running in 1280x1024 res with everything on high running winxp sp2, 256ram, 32mb onboard video card

oh and onboard sound ftw!. Game looks very good for its age. Went online just to try it out found a host with 6 players running with the same patch, ping was 350 though lol yet still playable. I notice other hosts are using the developers patch 1.2 with lower ping so up to you what patch you want to use. Read that this alpha5 patch works better with the mods available and it seem to fix some graphic bugs in the menu when i first loaded BZ2 up.
Anyways im going to play through the single player first to get the hang of it again. my online name is 'dood' I'll most likely be the one running around with no ship
