    I think it would be fun if we took an infantry map and increased the base speed of infantry to same as the speed upgrade and if you added the speed upgrade a super speed option. Or allow stacking speed skills.

    Speed dis bitch up!

    Well the 50mph comment was in jest, since I'm asking for an infantry map. But it would be fun on a race map to implement something like that.

    You get 3 seconds to get back upto speed or to jump out of the vehicle if you slow down. Beep Beep Beep Boom

    But for infantry - just adding speed makes it more offensive agreeable map, it would be a major disadvantage to sit still. This could be good training for nubs and fun for vets to rush and quickly kill. Obviously punch would become a much used skill, so you'd have to decide if you wanted to allow that.

    The sit and shoot sniper squad would quickly learn that they are at a disadvantage when a fast moving player knows how to move and dodge.

    Also jumping on empires feels like slow motion, like it's low grav. It should be based on how fast your moving, how far you jump.

    If we did a low grav map - it would be fun to have an air gun. It could push to steer in air, but also good for close combat kills. But that is a different proposal.

    In this note - three proposals:
    1) Speed infantry map
    2) Speed vehicle
    3) Low Grav

    Lets stick with #1 for now, but thought I would just derail this right off, as is the Empires way :)

    DZ you go on my "Good Shit" list! You get one free rage. :)

    Now I want to do a Matrix jump and roll through a window, down the stairs and pop someone in the head with a pistol. Whoop whoop!

    DZ - Interesting map. I'm not sure people really know how to play it. At one point we had 12 people (6 from each side) with no ammo - stacking around each other on the flag. Some got smart and started killing themselves to get 5 more shots. Ending was unsatisfactory since no one really knew what was going on.

    Changing weapons constantly was confusing.

    Needs a bit of work and input from the community. Hell it took lots of revisions to get Nuclear to a good place - hold on for the ride.

    @OP:

    Hosted it.
    Played it
    Enjoyed it.
    It probably won't be met with general approval though, it's "too hard to learn" since it took me more than an instant to understand every round.

    As with all empires gimmick maps there will be at least 94543785 rounds of it on regular server rotation, so I'm sure players will get the hang of it eventually
