The Battlezone Magazine was a periodic web publication edited by Jonathan Snyder and self-published via various Battlezone fora. Following Issue #1, the cover art was produced by John Klein.
Issue 1
BZMag #1 [pdf]
The first issue of the Battlezone Magazine released in 2007. It opened with an interview with Ken Miller and dealt with the programmer's background, his involvement in the development of Battlezone and Battlezone II, and the current and future state of PC gaming. Also included was an AIP tutorial written by Wug and the short story Shrodinger's Rat by HawkEye, along with mod updates and a ship intelligence section, both of which would become regular features for later issues.

Issue 4
BZMag #4 [pdf]
Issue 4 was published on March 13 2008, and focused mostly on Battlezone II: Combat Commander. Its main feature, an interview with Nathan Mates, dealt with the development of Battlezone II and the 1.3 patch and discussion of the series' future. Also included were the short stories Jumping to Conclusions and Powers Best Left Alone and a tutorial on IP banning through Sygate Personal Firewall written by Blunt Force Trauma.
In addition to the usual PDF release, Issue 4 was also released as a ZIP file containing a "goody bag" - this contained the map BZM Circles for Battlezone II and a collection of themed skins for ISDF and Scion Collective units. The issue's Letter From the Editor promised a set of skins for the NSDF as well, but these were not included.
- Featured Mods: Batlezone: Classic, BZR, Hidden Enemies, Rise of Jenova, Cerberi Revenge, SRV
- Featured Unit: Cerberi Krul
- Other Content: Release notes for Mesh Viewer, joke panel, The Adventures of Grizzly 1 and solution to Issue #3's word-search
Issue 5
BZMag #5 [pdf]
The magazine's final issue was published on August 8 2008. It provided: an interview with Carey Chico, touching on the artist's beginnings and experience in the industry and an art perspective on the development of Battlezone and Battlezone II; a very basic modding guide written by Tibor Horvath; and a scripting tutorial written by Andrew Goeldel.
Like the previous copy issue 5 was released with a goody bag, though in this case included content gathered from around the community instead of created by Snyder himself. The issue 5 goody bag included two deathmatch maps - Lil Stealth's Aircraft Arena for Battlezone, and Feared_1's Rocky Canyon for Battlezone II - and a copy of the sample script used in the issue's scripting tutorial.
- Featured Mods: Battlezone: Classic, X-Mod, Hidden Enemies, Rise of Jenova, Cerberi Revenge, SRV, MRV, [[[QF Mod]]
- Featured Unit: Phaer-Rhan Exterminator
- Other Content: Battlezone Complex feature, The Adventures of Grizzly 1, News from the Front
Issue 6
Issue 5 was labelled as the first issue of Volume 2, and the included Letter From the Editor promises a forthcoming Issue 6. Whilst Snyder began putting together content for the issue's goody bag in September 2010,[1] the magazine itself never materialised. The magazine - along with Snyder's other projects Cerberi Revenge and Hidden Enemy - were formally cancelled in Nobember 2012[2]. Had it released, the issue would have included news on the Unofficial Expansion Pack, Community Project 2 and the original set of Teamcolor Glowskins by ZeroAngel and AHadley.
Curatorship of the Battlezone Magazine passed to Klein in 2014.
