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.

9 comments by Krenzo on Apr 1st, 2007 digg this super bookmark


Here are two more videos showing off our new weapons which will be included in our next release. This time we're showcasing the Northern Faction shotgun pistol which holds two shells at a time and packs a powerful punch. The second weapon is the Northern Faction scout rifle which is now bolt operated. The bolt action is operated after each shot and serves as a crucial indicator for when the next round can be fired. These videos were taken in the map Slaughtered (created by Hellion) which has received improvements from its previous version in the form of HDR and other graphical enhancements.

Visit our home page to see the videos for these two weapons.

real good job, but in my oppinion you should spend some time on the weapon models and i in learning english, i know.
but the gameplay is already working well. no performance problems even with 40 players is an amazing experience.

hang on!

Real-time strategy and first person shooter in the same mod. This is a good combination. Empires looks great and everything works well.

2.0 has a lot of fixes from 1.7, but i wonder why the ranged rifle is wobbly, heavy rifle isnt wobly and is the same idea, and heavier. but a lot of good fixes, although now vehicles can get stuck on one another. the apc needs to be able to easily get off other vehicles. more wheels? hope for the aircraft son, they would really help defense. and i think refineries should give a bit more resources/s. very hard to do much of anything. but a lot of bugs fixed. although, did the missle turrets get less accurate and worse homing?

You can set the refinery resource rates if you have RCon access to the server.

ML turrets weren't changed as far as I know, but there are 3 different levels, and you may have just remembered the higher level ones or something like that. :)
