BattleTanx was such a weird game and I loved it.

My orthodontist had it running on an N64 in the lobby. Something about the N64/PS1 era delighted in weird and insane weapons. An updated version (with a better plot) would be amazing.

I’d want artillery for some levels as well. Basically a Halo game that only had land vehicles.

Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure you couldn't get away with "a plague killed most of the women so the few remaining ones are all breeding-queens of warrior bands and you have to try to capture them" in the 2020s, even as kind of a joke. But the plot also didn't really matter, so it could be anything. You really want the other guys' donuts. Or something. Doesn't matter, it was really just arena tank CTF with limited base-defense-building.
