Battlezone 1

I know those guys at BZ3 dot com are trying to do a BZ1 make over. More power to them. Struggle on guys,,,

I was wondering what the legal issues are with just plain porting a non-profit BZ1 or BZ2 over to UT3 as a mod?

Tons of ready made content, maps, models, etc. Just dreamin, I know but dreamin is fun once in a while.

That project looks more like a BZ2 makeover, that's why no one here didn't even blink. 1.5 is as close as it gets to BZ makeover.

As for BZ legal issues, it isn't much different than with any other game. BZ status is just more complicated due its rights being torn between Activision and Atari, but since none of those companies is making money out of BZ anymore, there's a rumor they won't object unless someone else is making money out of it.

You can always lie like reaper does and say that you have a written permission to mod and distribute the game.
