Battlezone Online: a free 3D multiplayer tank game in the browser (desktop, phone or VR) that plays with BZFlag clients and servers.
Battlezone Online (bzo) is a free, open-source 3D multiplayer tank game that runs entirely in the browser — no install needed — on desktops, phones, and VR headsets. It's a WebGL/Three.js client compatible with existing BZFlag clients and servers, with a Node.js backend over WebSockets, WebTransport, and WebRTC, deployable via Docker.
Why now: It was featured on Hacker News ('Battlezone Online: BZFlag in the Browser'), likely because it lets anyone jump into classic BZFlag gameplay instantly in a browser tab, including VR, and because its WebTransport/WebRTC use is technically interesting.
Who it is for: Casual players who want instant tank battles without installing anything, plus BZFlag veterans and server admins wanting a modern, browser-based front end.
