This was meant to be a sub-genre of the RTS game, where instead of managing resources to create new units, you were given the units and were meant to maneuver them tactically in order to win battles. Outside of the sequels, I've never seen gameplay like this in any other game. The game also had multiplayer through LAN and online servers, and Bungie actually gave mapmaking and unit changing tools with the game itself (on the same CD) to encourage people to make their own mods for the game. The community for this game has been rather long lived. I believe it still exists today, kept fresh by a tiny community of modders/mapmakers, and small community tournaments. The problem is that the community is small. This means its not easy to find others to play a game online with. Also due to its age you have a lot of set up to begin to play the game. To be able to run on modern computers there are fan made updates that need to be installed. Then to play multiplayer if you arn't playing via LAN, you will need to set up the game to play through a fan host as bungie.net (now battlenet) stopped supporting the game over a decade ago.
I'd really love, a remaster at least, or even better a new game that plays in a similar way, so that my favorite game series won't be alone in its genre.

However I was vegitarian (not vegan) in my teens when I did live in the US and Taco Bell was one of the only fast food places that had any real options for me beyond just fries. Burger Kings awful veggie patty did not count as it felt like an afterthought on their menu, with Taco Bell you could ask for substitutions easily and they would just do it. Its great to see they're adding even more options to their menu for people who don't eat meat or who choose to not eat meat when possible.
I hope they bring Baja Blast to the UK next though!
I had a look and I really appreciate the recommendation! I would certainly say it seems to fit within the same genre. At first glance it doesn't seem like you can change the formations of your squads or give the individual units any sort of name or unique directions but the minimal style of the game definitely would make it fun in a different way. Its even on sale on steam right now!
