    Decent coms rarely get ninja'd. It is unfortunate that Empires relys on it's players being competent, but if you change that too much, it's no longer the game I love.

    I once got ninja'd unsuccessfully by the enemy CV on valley. I pushed him into the ditch that you can't get out of, and then a light tank I ordered to my defense killed him.

    DEADMOD IS DEAD

    2.2 is shit

    mootard made all the stuff that do not work?

    too much teamwork needed to win, and most of the players are noobs.

    you can still exploit in most of the maps, but its not a problem as i've never seen anyone trying to go outside of map or anywhere with a turret etc. except in escort.

    in 2.12, rarely someone ninjaed a cv.

    gg glhf getting more noobs

    Well, I tried 2.2 and I am even less impressed.
    The weights on the weapons for far more heavier, and I can no longer put 6 layers of composite and my favorite weapon loads on the heavies anymore. While on the heavies..they handle like crap now.

    Then there are building bugs that were not in 2.12 such as now I can build myself into a bridge, wall, building, etc and only way out is kill myself
    There is also the time I built the CV into the tower on the Slaughtered map.

    Also there is a lot of additional CPU overhead without any real apparent reason.

    I could go on, but no sense..I guess I will either go back to BF2 & Mods or come up with my own for HL2.

    So you´re trying to say that the balance has improved right.

    He is right. Balanced has improved with Empires 2.2
    Is it as fun as 2.12 though? We need to play to find out.

    The so called "balance" was fine.
    Blame the players, not the equipment.
    At close range the BE heavy excelled. At further, the NF heavy excelled.

    Then again, I have taken out BE heavy with a NF one at close range easy also on many occasion.

    The problem with the CV hijack is still a problem. That needs to be fixed. Once a commander is voted in, nobody else should be able to get into the vehicle unless voted out, or the voted commander dies, or disconnects.

    Blame the players? I think if you try too much to fix the griefing by changing the game, in the end you'll hurt the game.

    Go look at his previous posts. He's quit multiple times and deleted his game. Oddly he keeps posting though.

    You must be a NOOB also.

    If you had bothered to READ the posts I was complaining about 2.12. So a few proclaiming 2.2 was going to be the saving "messiah" and to give it a try.

    Well I did I reported my findings.

    Since it is a FREE game that is done by programmers giving away their time, it should be the courtesy of player to give their input of what they think.

    Goodbye Trent, thanks for your time and effort. I'm a little disappointed that you didn't like the fact that much griefing has been circumvented in the new version and that games don't last only 5 minutes anymore. But each to his own.

    Good luck out there ^^
