In all fairness, I don't think Staplergun was commenting on the amount of players - he even said so later in this thread. He said the community is dying, not that the mod is dying. The mod is very much alive and prospering, but the community is diluted a slight bit more than it was before, with inexperienced and uncooperative players, and also with people who just carry around a persistently negative, revolting attitude (most of which is to be seen in-game, and not out). I don't think there's any fast-action anyone could take to magically improve the community though. The number one way is to take the inexperienced under our wing, share our knowledge of the game play, and be receptive to newer & more inexperienced players' actions & questions. In the long term, that is really the only effective way. As for Minister of Fail, you still get my vote, Stapler. 8)
I don't know what you guys are talking about. Of course, some people are turned off. IN 2.12, anybody could be rambo and take out 20 Heavies in 1 Light Tanks, but now, vehicles are a bit harder to drive, and everybody is nerfed. People that used to be good are now shitty/as good as newcomers. They know the gameplay well, but they don't know the game anymore.
speak for yourself ;D I have never been killed by a light tank while in a heavy tank, and after a little bit of playing, I managed to get used to 2.21
I've seen two light tanks kill a heavy. Probably seen a light win 1 on 1 (with plain armor, anything is possible). You can snuggle up to a heavy and they can't hit you, but at that range your own weapons will probably kill you first.
I thought I was stating that the AFV was a piece of shit, and should, in my opinion, be removed from the game, and be replaced with cannon and missle slots for the Brenodi Empire Jeep... say, that actually sounds like a good idea
NF light tank rocks. Definite "Zero" style fighter against the BE AFV. Better turn radius if you can get someone to chase you, you can drive it around to get their six o'clock.
It's hard to try to teach people who don't have mics and act like they don't have speakers. For the 50th time: Include a tutorial map with Empires.
I assume by the term "dieing" u are on about the despute over **NAPALM's** server. It is pain in the ass despute but will get sorted soon enough
