    Let's get some more players for the mod, you'll need to register to vote. Also, anyone with badass screenshots, videos, etc. Now is the time to upload them. Do it here, and paste it anywhere else you can. Make your own trailers if you want and post them up here, we'll get the best one up as soon as possible. You'll need to register to vote.

    Oh, and we aim to release 2.3 within a week.

    Make sure to register to vote, as your vote will be worth more if you do that.

    "Empires is a mod for Half-Life 2 which will combine the genres of real-time strategy and first person shooter. Each team has four classes to choose from (scout, rifleman, grenadier, and engineer) with unique weapons and skills each. One player will become the commander by entering the team's command vehicle to build the team's base and lead his team to victory. Once your base is built up, purchase vehicles from your team's vehicle factory to open up another facet of Empires' gameplay. Vehicles can be customized with unique weapons, armor, and engines. The commander can research improvements to all aspects of vehicles such as longer range cannons, homing missiles, and armor-piercing machine gun rounds. Once your team is prepared, lead an assault into the enemy base. The enemy team is defeated when all players are wiped out with either no place to respawn or no reinforcements remaining or the team's command vehicle is destroyed. "

    dull, you guys wanna try and re-write it or spice it up

    And don't forget to give 10 points at the "Community Rating" on the right side.

    Maybe also server owners can put the link on the welcome page when you join the server to get more votes.

    Krenzo/Kylegar will know I guess. There's also some other stuff by Anicator floating around. Idk what the policy is on using actual music.

    Also, for those who aren't aware, this voting also affects how high we'll get in the top 100.

    Voted, because i like the particles.

    I wonder if Black Mesa will be voted as the best upcoming mod, for the fifth year or so in a row.

    Voted, because even after i was sure i'd never play this mod again, i had to come back as no other game can give me such an adrenaline rush.

    And yeah, i love the particles ^^

    We should probably make a new trailer for 2.3 when it comes out, the old Empires trailers were rather nice.

    The review page looked nice until Ukgamer posted:

    "A good looking mod (for the ageing Source engine anyway) based on an excellent idea, let down by now less-than-impressive development and a community that, for some reason, loves to try and fend off newcomers.

    7"

    Fucking fag.
