![]() I want more tactics, and less resource and base management! I want the next game to be MACROMANAGEMENT, not Micro! Example, only having 10 tanks and 40 infantry, and each being important and working with each individually!! Not 1000 tanks and 3 infantry and rush!īy the way, theres a new game called Soldier. Make it REVOLUTIONARY!!!! Don't make it like all Westwood RTS games.ĭeploy MCV, build Barracks, mine resources, build 1000 tanks, attack. Oh ya, also structures were re-made in Dune 2k. ![]() I just wanted to clarify to many that Dune 2000 is not a real remake of Dune 2. But in Dune 2k, the sky was an ugly brown and dull. To be specific, for one thing, in Dune 2, Arrakis actually had sun shining and the sky was blue with clouds (look at the intro and unit graphics). And hey, I admit, its hard to make a RTS game now feel like the first RTS game ever. I can go on and on about this.īut the thing that did not live up to Dune 2k was the feeling of playing it. Troopers did not have bazzokas (though I rather they have bazzokas). Devastator blew up after it got destroyed. Examples: Quad was an upgrade to the trike, and it had machine guns. I mean, even if some units did not do the things that they did in Dune 2. In Dune 2, you had the Harkonnen mentat being some old crazy bald guy, Ordos being a guy with realy green eyes who did not want to be bothered, and the Atreides had a blond hair fabio type guy.Īs for the units, in Dune 2k they were pretty good. For one thing, the mentants are TOTALLY different. Same Units, sort of same terrain, and same story line. But it is at all not like Dune 2.ĭune 200 may have some similarities. ![]() Excellent balance within the units might I add. When I loaded it up, to my surprise, it was a great game. I was looking forward to this game for months, and really wanted to play. When I first got Dune 2000 that early September of 1998, I was excited. The PSX release of the game featured a 3D engine despite many elements being 2D sprites.Before I go on with this, I wanted to say Dune 2000 is still amazing game, but Dune 2 is still better. This title was essentially a modernization of the vintage control scheme in Dune II and an attempt to attract then-younger audiences to the game that sparked the popularity of real-time strategies. The Emperor challenges the three houses to claim Arrakis, without any boundaries or rules of engagement.įrom the gameplay perspective, there are few fundamental differences in gameplay compared to the original Red Alert, and the unique gameplay mechanics such as corrosive sand and sandworm attacks from Dune II are directly transferred to Dune 2000. Whoever controls the resource known as the Spice Melange on Arrakis, controls the planet, and by transition, the universe. The premise of the game remains the same as in Dune II: three houses (Atreides, Ordos, and Harkonnen) arrive on the sandy planet Arrakis, also referred to as Dune. It was also the first Dune title that was entirely played in real-time. ![]() While the engine is very similar to the one seen in Command & Conquer and Red Alert from the player’s perspective, it is technically separate from Westwood’s work.
