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.

Maybe the level designer needs to place grace models on the ground, that would be nice, and use blend textures when you go from grass to rock... The weapon model looks very cool.
Maybe you can also create a nice looking 3d skybox so the world looks bigger.
Yes, meazum, we updated the explosions. We also have different explosion effects based on certain vehicle weapons. The nuclear tipped missiles create a much bigger explosion. Biological weapons create a green explosion. Plasma weapons create a blue explosion. More powerful weapons leave a longer lasting explosion. It looks much better. We'll post a screenshot in the future.
I hope you have updated the explosions aswell? I mean, Doing that adds VERY much to a mod, It makes the original almost feel gone.
Another cool, but quite tricky to add-feature would be temporary tracks for heavy vehicles.
And the explosions seem like exactly what one would want it to be, nice to hear!
i dont like all the weapons till now. maybe its just different to me, but i think this weapon is a bit too long and a few details would be also nice. But hang on dudes your concept is really amazing :)
