Yup, top ten. check http://www.moddb.com/events/2008-mod-of-the-year-awards/features/players-choice-best-released-mod for more info. it says that we ranked lower than last year, where we came 3rd. This means that we came anywhere between 3rd and 10th. not too shabby given the 1000's of mods on the site. ---------------- Use some detective work, looking at where the other mods came last year, to work out where we came this year.
Lame that we aren't included. Moddb awards are so fail. Whoever gets the vote should get on the list regardless of past performance.
It doesn't mean we placed lower than last year, it means we placed high enough last year to only get an honorable mention this year. If they did that then these would be the standings for this year. If you want to be angry, be angry because FH2 was in last year's top 5.
Generally speaking, I loathe modDB for shafting Empires year after year. Well... technically, year after not shafting after year. First and third years we should have gotten top 3. BULLSHIT!!!! I don't care what YOU have to say countering my claims. Empires is teh gr8test.
Look at the other HL2 mods and see our glorious Empires! How can they compare! We show that gameplay is still what matters best!
Since the US army is sponsoring moddb it's not hard to imagine why Project Reality won (- insert conspiracy theory here -). Krenzo just needs to call his army friends and Empires wins next year!
Forget Krenzo's army friends. I'll make a call to my Ukranian buddy and he'll generate 8 billion votes on ModDB next year. From different IP addresses and at random intervals, of course :p
Zombie Panic:Source = great; Empires = Zombie Panic:Source + playability; although the playability of late is down a bit what with the research and factions so unbalanced.
Yeah, but ZM would be much better if they made it so you could place zombies/traps anywhere. The NPC zombies are just so stupid sometimes.
You can spawn shamblers when no one is looking & you can set triggers for your traps. Ahh the feeling you get when someone screams "OH SHIT!" in terror on their mic... PRICELESS!
But its so tedious to do it that way. I want to be able to spawn 5 of any type any place I feel like. Also, spawning shamblers that way eats up your resources.
You know what? Fuck those guys. Empires should get first place, every time, for three years in a row now. There I said it. SO WHAT.
That's because you're doing it wrong! Besides givng the ZM the ability to spawn anywhere would overpower the ZM (Seriously I could just spawn an army of hulks & immolaters & call it a round in less than 20 seconds). As a ZM you gotta think like an evil bastard, make a small group of shamblers to distract the survivors & then hidden spawn two or three behind them or use them to pop barrels ahead of the level .
they say that we placed higher in previous years. take in mind that with 5 honourable mentions, the bottom 5 mods would actually not be there. so we ranked pretty high among the source mods. PROJECT REALITY THOUGH? SERIOUSLY?
I think you all missed something. Zombie panic made second place...AHAHAHAHAHAhA This list is shit, so why would we care that much?
