BF2S Forums Empires mod

Yes, but coding is required to implement them as well. In the beta they did have aircraft but handled horribly due to the limitations of the source engine as well as max mapsize

Engineers should not be medics.

It works out anyway as I'm guessing you just thought to comment without playing the game, adds more usefulness for class especially in non-commander maps where engineer would be worthless.

1 well placed sentry doesn't turn the tide of a game.

I beg to differ

What game is this a mod for?

My guess is CS:S

Oh, thanks.

Source SDK to be exact which any source mod can have and the Heavy Pistol ain't OP, hard to kill with it maybe I'm not using it right I don't know, Floppy, the game would have to have very few players(like 8v8 at the most) and the turret would have to be fully upgraded, even so there are ways to get rid of it which wouldn't be too difficult

I have to say, I completely forgot about this mod and I'm surprised there's still people playing (sounds like you guys are playing it due to recent posts in this thread).  I always think that Source mods don't go far.  Like what happened to NeoTokyo?  I haven't heard anything from that mod in a long time.

wait...

So they have no more carbine, just an assault rifle and a heavy pistol?

anyways...

EMP nades > turrets. If your team has an OUNCE of teamwork, taking out a turret is no sweat.

however, multiple turrets... that's harder

The old assault rifle is now known as the heavy rifle and they introduced a new assault rifle for BE, 20 round clip fast rate of fire weak damage but very accurate. Yes a bunch of turrets is a pain in the ass especially level 3s and even level 2s can be a bitch, still you can manage to take care of it by being scout with the hide skill and sabotaging the turrets, unless they get fully repaired they can't fire and drain hp to the point where it gets destroyed afterwards. Tricky to do especially when enemy units spot the partially invisible thing crawling slowly to the turrets.

Didn't that die before it started?


And plenty of sourcemods are doing fine

Fistfull of frags is great and still under development
Pirates Vikings and Knights II is getting updates often too, although they add the characters abit slow...

I thought NeoTokyo was a good mod.  When it was first released, I remember seeing a lot of players playing it.

Zombie Master, Zombie Panic Source, Insurgency, and GMOD (ofc) are all doing well

only the Hidden has really faded into obscurity (because it's so goddamn annoying)

I like the hidden, mostly when I am the hidden though... It's so funny messing with the minds of a 4man squad

that's the problem

I think that they should make the hidden more visible (like the spy in TF2, flickers when hit, and the hit effects stack), and more health.

and give the IRIS melee weapons, and more guns, and be able to restock at a "truck"

Yeah but I think the only reason this mod is alive is because beeing the hidden is funny enough that you can accept beeing the on the victim team for 1/5th of the time

Nothing really beats it when you've killed one of their teammembers, only to bounce his body past a hallway and seeing them piss themselves and fire all their ammo down the hall xD

for me, it's a good 95% of the time...

Probs cause I suck at it.
