    Woo, I'm anxious to try this mod out. I've been looking forward to it since it's been mentioned on here eons ago. Just hope the servers aren't too crowded :p

    Edit: Wow, for once I decided to listen to thier little radio dealy. Pfft, the questions people ask; "Will Iron Grip have mechs?" ..Yep, he didn't ask that for the lulz.

    Just finished playing.

    Needless to say, I don't think it's going to challenge empires; at all.

    bugs:

    1: There seems to be a problem where nobody can select a character to even begin playing
    2: I get a big yellow trianlge in top left screen as commander
    3: minimap as comm doesn't work for me
    4: Escape key doesn't work in comm view and barely works in hero select menu (update: They actually disabled the escape key on purpose...)
    5: Map only works with mousewheel. Using the numkeys will bring up a blank scroll. If the map is already up, you must use mousewheel to select weapon, otherwise the map stays on screen

    Gameplay:

    weapons: It seems the went for the cone of chance approach where it doesn't matter if you fire once, burst or full auto, the gun is still going to be as innacurate.

    Only 9 people can play on a server. 8 resistance members and one Rhamos commander

    Most of the time, action consists of spamming a line of enemy soldiers, dying, repeat.

    EDIT: Music plays constantly.

    Overall:

    Underwhelming =(

    empires has been in a couple magazines already I believe.

    EDIT: On the plus side, it's made me appreciate all the work the empires team has put into their game, and the empires community for putting their hand in to help wherever they can.

    Actually makes me feel like fixing my install and playing again :)

    70% as we speak.

    We got our share of flak after 1.0 and other mods aren't better off (even though, *ahem* they promise not to pull an Empires).

    I'm just afraid people are going to stop playing mods alltogether because the current ones are underwhelming.

    Yeah, the last 2 mods were very underwhelming. Empires hands IG it's ass right now, just based on the lag alone. Hopefully they will fix that, and set a player limit on servers.
