Empires map preview

[Munro]

The Empires team have just updated their site with three new images of a new swamp map and a drivable Imperial jeep. You'll probably get it stuck in the mud within 10 seconds but it sure looks pretty.[br]

[kingthebadger]

oh my ****ing god... now i can see how good the mods of hl2 will turn out to be!!!!!!!! lovely fecking car, hope it drives well

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

Looking sexy!

I hope this mod is not MP because HL2's netcode for vehicles is terrible. It lags so bad whenever you get into a vehicle AND no one can see your player model when you are driving.

 

[nagual678]

i think you can easily fix the invisible driver issue, but you have a point about the netcode. nothing seems to work really good :/

Hmm... Think it's multiplayer... But hope that will be fixed... Either by Valve or the Empires Team.

Looks kick ass wow.

 

[Ames]

Best of luck to the Empires mod team! Looks great guys.

Can't wait to play.

 

[sHm0zY]

[major5013]

very cool

Multiplayer

Empires is a multiplayer-only mod. There are no plans for any single-player version in the future.

I don't see what's so sexy about this. I mean, not to bash on the Empire's team (I can't even use SDK and if I ever learn, I will suck) but it is just 3 pictures of an ATV/APC near a building and water. Now please flame me for having an opinion.

I don't see why mod teams need to advertise for such a little thing, why can't they wait for bigger updates ?

Good map.

 

[nagual678]

it looks PROMISING, at the least

 

[MysticalMrBob]

People are excited cause it looks really, really pretty. Duh.

 

[bbyybb]

If you look on their website you see that they stated just a small update for their fans on their website. How HL2 fan websites take this news it is up to them.


Cheers,

The netcode can be fixed, Battlefield 2 uses hl2 engine so... :thumbs:

[Krenzo]

All information sent over the network can be controlled in the code, so it shouldn't be a problem to optimize it.

 

[Jesus Lincoln]

Isnt empires that crappy RTS for battlefield?

Empires was a RTS/FPS mod for Battlefield 1942, but the BF1942 engine was not made for that kind of game so the mod became as stable as nitroglycerin in a mixer. When it did not crash it was really fun though, cant wait to see it on the source engine.

lol, The pics look quite nice and sounds like a fun mod too. *wishes he could have talent *

 

[Maxi]

Wow! I love that jeep! Reminds me of that farcry vehicle, the 8? wheeled one.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

It looks good IMO.

Good map.

Well its better than a collection of weapon model rendered at settings so high they no longer represent the quality of the game graphics what so ever.

 

[Dem0nEgg]

Both Empires mod, and Eternal Silence used to be mods for BF1942. Seems we are getting alot of migration from that engine due to the non-existant modding support EA/Dice offered. I was looking forward to them then, and I am looking forward to them alot more now... infact there are so many mods I am looking forward to for HL2 now - at least one of them HAS to be good

 

[Ghost Sonic Safa]

Empires was one of the most innovative mods for BF 1942.But it didnt really work,because the BF Engine sucks.But the HL2 Engine is the best moddable Engine atm.They will do a good job with this Engine....I feel it

 

[ahardy668]

To have such huge tires and obviously intended to be an off-road type vehicle it looks to me like it needs more ground clearance. Maybe it's the angle of the pics.......looks very nice tho.
