At last, 2 years after Public Beta 1, the v1.3 Beta developer and beta-test team has released 1.3 Public Beta patch 2 (PB2) for Battlezone II ™ to the community. This is a free bug and feature patch to download, of course, and all are welcome to help further test and tweak the patch so that all can benefit from its true destiny, which is to become 1.3 Final (no ETA). Great thanks to GSH (Nathan Mates) and Ken Miller, the developers, both on the original Battlezone II programming team at Pandemic Studios, in furthering the life of this 3D action game by sacrificing some of their free time developing version 1.3. It has been 4 years plus, since the formation of 1.3 started. The release of 1.3 PB2 does signify the tail end of the course of this patch's development as both developers, especially GSH, have intended to get their life back, due to all the hours they have spent on the patch. Hopefully the same goes for the 1.3 Private Beta Test team, of which I am currently a part of.
Anyway, here's a snippet of GSH's official PB2 release abstract...
