    Ahaha! Wooo!!! It's been a long road to 2.0, but it was so worth it! Thanks to all the other testers and the mod team themselves, who poured their time and talents into this massive project :D

    lol there was the senior member who said on the forums earlier on today that it would be released on the 30th! Yeah it was a very very.....loooooong road. Great work developers, hope your work wasn't in vane :-/

    WAIT A SECOND!!
    Insurgency is released on the 21st or something, meaning that the hype for it might be over and people will play empires, or the insurgency 2.0 might be soo good that people would be content with it and not be bothered playing empires yet, making the servers not as populated and pushing people away slightly? Tell me im not awesome :-p

    WAIT A 2ND SECOND (yeah triple edit)

    if you want to generate hype, you might want update the page and get the moddb people to make a awesome, well deserved review for it :-p

    after looking through Mod-db for hours going through all the HL2 mods I downloaded Sourceforts - Insurgency - strider and about 3 others which i deleted straight away and my thoughts are : sourceforts is fun for ten minutes then its too repetetive, no ones playing strider and Insurgency is nothing like Empires the gameplay is more Counterstrike'ish and yet the gameplay is not team oriented , at least no one was working together when i played and i even tried initiating teamplay but they want to be ave'go'hero's so it got boring very quick.
    The whole point of Empires is that teamwork , giving orders and listening to orders makes a difference and its fun and easy to get into quickly.
    The only game ive seen that looks anything like Empires is http://www.armedassault.com/features.html and after playing it on a friends comp "yea it costs money", it is too much of a simulation like microsoft flight sim focusing on graphics, nice choppers tho' .
    I dont think Empires has any competition .

    lol you must have been on a bad server of insurgency, it good when everyone on mic etc. I'd also agree about sourceforts, except i took 3 hours. Also insurgency knocked major mods off the top, but yeah empires is better and id play it over insurgency, but that's me.....

    "Pfft, it looks free." These gametrailers.com comments are hilarious. Why didn't anyone tell me Crysis was being released! We can't compete with that!

    Ha, after all the hype i don't even want crysis anymore. If i buy anything in the future it'll be farcry2.
    But the one game i'll play most, will always be empires.
    Or maybe empires: the sequel, who knows.

    I can't belive everyone is quacking "Crysis Crysis" Like a bunch o freaking ducks... Sure the game has so much technical graphical proficiency that my GPU will jump out and kick me in the crotch... But why the hell is everyone comparing every single game where you hold a gun to Crysis without making any clear distinction about: What engine is used, how old the game is and such...

    I bet if those people played Quake or Doom or DukeNukem; they would say "It sux; Crysis is better"

    People like that make my blood boil; and my wallet thin; because they keep the drive for games that are cutting edge laser toaster ovens... (Though Crysis is good; but It pisses me off to see everyone comparing everything to Crysis)

    I remeber a couple of years back when FEAR screenshots were just coming out; and when I played the demo I thought "Wholy Shit" now look at it... :(

    They're just children...most of them haven't even played doom or heard of wolfenstein 3d. The rest are the kind of people who never bothered to get system shock or didn't even see sacrifice's trailer. Of course they won't know a good thing when they see it...sheep will be sheep after all :rolleyes:

    Is it safe to crawl back from under the rock yet? :) I need something to cure my TF2 addiction... Can Empires be my hero(again)? Time will tell. I see you finally added sticky bombs, so I hopefully don't have to post about them ever again. :D

    :) I'll be waiting for 30th.
