Warzone 2100
Game: Warzone 2100 (Windows, 1999)
Pumpkin Studios’ 3D real-time strategy game, maintained by its community since Eidos, together with the studio, released its source code under the GPL on December 6, 2004; the music and videos followed later, so the complete game is distributed for free. Since then the Warzone 2100 Project has replaced every proprietary technology with open-source counterparts and expanded the game a great deal. It has the remastered single-player campaign, with expanding persistent bases and away missions, online multiplayer for up to 10 players, team-based or free-for-all and across platforms, skirmishes against bots, a tech tree with more than 400 technologies, and a system for designing your own units. It also includes two new campaigns, Reclamation and Fractured Kingdom, and supports maps and mods. It renders with OpenGL, OpenGL ES, or Vulkan, and 4.6.3 (February 4) added shadows cast by the terrain. There are builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus one for the browser. The latest release, 4.7.0 (April 6), brought a new multiplayer lobby system with IPv4 and IPv6, a campaign balance mod, and a soundtrack for Reclamation.
You needNo copy needed: the game has been free since Eidos released its source code in 2004, followed by the music and videos, and the project distributes it in full. In some builds, such as the Ubuntu packages, the videos are downloaded separately from the project’s wz-sequences repository. Plus Windows 7 or later (x86, x64, or ARM64), macOS 10.14 or later, or Linux (packages for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, Flatpak, Snap, or the source code).
