I played it for a couple hours... doesn't really feel all that much diffrent from what it was a year ago, just now you get an annoying blur when you spawn. Oh, wait, they also added a few new skins on things. I'm glad the Empires Dev team doesn't do updates like these. If you want to go try it, go to www.dystopia-game.com
Yea, it's pretty much the exact same game it was a year ago but with a couple more thingies thrown in =/ The "vets" are pretty hostile to criticism too. Not a good time at all. Uninstalled immediately after trying it out
Meh, aren't us Empires "vets" a lil' hostile to criticism too? :D Still your point stands undefended Dee. I'll leave it on, as something to do whilst my WoW server is down.
not sure about in game, it's been a while since I actually played =/ but on the forums, even the worst of criticism is treated with the respect and answered to politely =o
yeah i have to agree its the same game.. just more weapons and skins and upgrades or whatever they call them still a good game but gets old quick like district402
So anything radicaly diffrent? Something game altering, like the punks and Corp differing somehow besides skins? or is it essentialy just a map pack?
the older a community gets, the more ridgid and opposed to anything gamechanging they get- it get's VERY unfriendly. the specialists forum is perfectly typical of this, opposed to everything including removing old bugs.
You're telling me that you wouldn't like to see the infinite-calculator exploit stay for a few more patches? I played the original, and didn't find it enjoyable in the least. I was going to try this out, but judging from others comments I probably won't bother. P.S. It's all in the version numbers. Just look: Dystopia v1, ES v2. People think Empires is still stuck in the dark ages.
And whats diffrent in each one? Maps? Man... Or is it that we just got spoiled by Empire's radical pathces? :p
Meh, even if its not anything new ill keep it around, for Lan parties sake. Didja see? DIDJA SEE?!?! CnC3 DEMO IN ONE DAY!! ZOMG!! I totally reserved it on my Fileplanet Downloader. Luckily a guy i knew back in the bf2142 beta days gave me his paying FP account, so i get it the second it arrives! woo!
From what I've heard, it's "sometime next week" with no exact date. Although Everyone speculates tomorrow. I hope it is cause it's my day off =D
I played a game of Dystopia today... got the sneaky bastard (most kills while stealthed), ninja (most kills with katana), and frag masta (most kills) awards. Ninja FTW.
Just about every time I play I get Buck Shot, and Sneaky Bastard... I love circling slow-mo's while pummeling them with a shotty :D As for CnC3, PC Gamer reported in an interview with one of the lead guys on the project that they will be incorporating the unit "smart" ai, where they take cover and stuff. I hate that crap. What happened to the days where the PLAYERS had to be smart, and when you told a unit to go somewhere, he went there, and stayed there.
Bojangles, these people need to realize that Empires is where the smart AI is. They need to learn to leave things the hell alone.
That's not good, last time EA said they were going to introduce an advanced AI they pumped out Golden Eye: Rogue Agent *shivers*. Beside I like my troops to suicidaly rush in & stay there while I bring in the air support. I wonder If I'll be an option you can turn off, kinda like turning off "Free will" in The Sims
I don't mind if units move in to engage the attacking force who may have greater range but I hate when they try to chase them across the map on their own free will
I just tried this mod, and I actually enjoyed it. Haven't tried it before tho, but there were many occasions where I was about to but eventually couldn't be arsed to DL it. The whole decking- thingjama on it is quite funky, and occasionally trippy too. Also, katana ftw :D
