The most recent version supports OpenGL, making the 3D graphics look better than ever before. The game supports capture-the-flag, free-for-all, and many other gameplay modes. Other than contending with enemy tanks, you also have to keep an eye on the "rogues," independant tanks that are trying to take everyone out. You can only carry one flag at a time, so you will have to drop your current flag first before you can have another. There are also "bad flags" that you should avoid at all costs, including: colorblindness (a fun flag) makes you unable to identify color of other tanks (and hence tell friend from foe), jamming makes your radar useless, obesity makes your tank very large, etc. Some flags are power-ups: for example, jumping lets your tank jump, ricochet (my favorite flag) lets your bullets bounce off of buildings and walls, stealth makes your tank invisible on radar, and many more. Some flags are essentially weapon enhancements: guided missiles, rapid fire, machine gun, laser, and invisible bullet to name a few. Although your goal in the game is to blast the enemy tanks (with the help of your teammates) into smitereens, BZFlag is all about flags as the name implies. If you like multiplayer action games, BZFlag is your dream come true. The game is now an active open-source project maintained by Tim Riker, with many enthusiastic fans and developers who keep improving the codes and adding new features. The game was first developed in 1992 by Chris Schoeneman, a then-college student at Cornell University, for Silicon Graphics (SGI) machines.

When paused, the tank cannot be destroyed norĬan its shots destroy other players. The R f key toggles theįlag help display, which describes the flag in the tank's possession. The current radar range can be changed by pressing the R 1, R 2, or R 3 keys above theĪlphabetic keys for low, medium, and long range, respectively. The guided missile and the shock wave are two ways of destroying a tank Tanks can jump onto buildings, however there is no way to shoot downward (or upward) withĪ regular shot. When the server allows jumping or if the tank has the jumping flag, the R Tab key jumps. However, the target must be carefully centered for the missile to lock. Your tank has the guided missile super-flag, this will also lock the missile on target. Pressing the R right mouse button identifies the closest player centered in the view. A dropped flag gets tossed straight up it falls to the Nothing will happen if the tank has noįlag or is not allowed to drop the flag for some reason (e.g. Pressing the R middle mouse button drops a flag. Shots are fired by pressing the R left mouse button. When the mouse is inside the small yellow box, the tank is motionless. Tanks are controlled by moving the mouse within the large yellow box in the main view.
