The PointBlank manpage states that PointBlank is the successor to BZ (Presumed BZFlag):
DESCRIPTION Pointblank is the successor to BZ(6D). It is a combat game allowing users to play against several players in a networked environment. Much of the game play characteristics of BZ(6D) have been preserved while adding new elements of game play such as three-dimensional terrain, buildings, and flying vehicles.
Anyone know what happened to this game?
BZ is not bzflag, but another similar unrelated 3d tank game for the SGI, called simply "BZ" by Chris Fouts. = Jeff Myers 22:10, 9 April 2007 (PST)
I totally rewrote the League section as I felt the existing information was very out of date and misleading. I did however have a problem in making a link read "[phagozytose]", the < nowiki > and < pre > tags did not help so for now I have just dropped the [] brackets from the team name. Please fix this if you know how. CBG 23:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, It's interesting to see that Lan56 edited the section. He removed links to two leagues because they are "too new" even though they were both created before the OpenLeague that he did not remove. It's also interesting that he says this is not a place to "advertise" the leagues? In that case, why is there a league section at all? Surely ALL the links in the section should be removed, at the very least. I find it odd that we can advertise 4 leagues, but not two others, when there is nothing obvious that is different about those two, compared to the 4 that were not removed. I have reverted back to the previous version because whatever Lan56 says about those leagues, they are leagues, so why can't they be listed? </rant> - CBG 13:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
The screenshot in the article seems to be the low quality version of the game. Perhaps someone should state that it is ...the low quality version to avoid confusion with the high-quality version. Squash 02:10, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi, i started to translate this article to german, replacing the very short article. WTH are the languages "Leet" and "Redneck"?
Ezhik
I see that there are many dates or word like "December" that are linked. Is it normal? (Could it be a bot or something like that?)
(besides, i am translating this nice article to french) --

I was reading the article and noticed that there was no mention whatsoever of the plugins for BZFlag. I was just wondering if anyone could write a section about them. (I don't know very much about them myself) Mrpizzaj 02:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
The AI section needs a total rewrite. ~-F.S-~( Talk, Contribs, Online?) 13:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I've taken out large chunks of the text; some of it because of the video game article guidelines ( WP:VG/GL), some of it due to a lack of reliable, third-party sources ( WP:V). Currently, the article has no such sources and doesn't appear to meet the notability guidelines, so any expansion would be helpful. Marasmusine ( talk) 10:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Reading this article, I cannot tell if as of 2015 there are still servers that allow multiplayer play, or whether the game is usable as a standalone if there are no severs. Are the servers open-soucre, so that anyone can set one up? -- Dalek Supreme X ( talk) 17:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
I'm looking for a collaboration to improve this article back to featured status.
A good amount of this article is outdated and needs to be brought up to date. Some of the screenshots need replacement due to age and improvements in graphics. If anyone is interested in a collaboration to improve this article back to good article or featured article standards please leave a reply here or on my talk page.
