It's not just a game.. It's life.. A cult following.. you just CAN'T STOP PLAYING. played this mod on and off for nearly a decade now. thousands of hours sunk into it. I wouldn't change it for anything. If you like shooting games, get this, play the tutorial, join a server and go ham. Just.. Don't take the CV. Edit: There are reviews saying the community is toxic, this WAS true, and still is for a few people. but over the past few months we have had some devoted individuals who have been hosting drafts every weekend, so if you feel like playing and meeting veterans who wont scream at you (some will but ignore them) come join us at the weekend on X's hardcore empires!

Sometimes (often) i suck but its still a lot of fun! And since some new updates like new maps and stuff (if im not mistaken) it got real cool! And finally im a lot better than the first time i played it and knew nothing about FPS. Well i still suck at driving tanks but it gets better, just hope more players will join again but its still fun with just 8 people.

where to start with empires... iv played it off/on since before it was "on"steam. the game on a good day is extremely enjoyable and while tense and stressful at times can be quite fun for a few hours. the major drawback to empires, apart from its age, is the lack of community. while it never had the vast base that something like cod has. its only suffered as the years passed. now there is really only the "nub" main server for playing. as most every other one is empty or bots. but thats not a reason to not try it, as when you can get a match going on empires its pretty fun. as long as you keep at it and dont let the drama or the odd team stack of vets vs nubs cloud your enjoyment. the game it self does suffer from the old source problems and hasnt aged well BUT its still a decent fairly bug free game. pros: fairly enjoyable game very few bugs decent (aged) graphics audio (depending who you talk to, love the old or new sounds) cons: limited player base aged game engine few servers limited updates TL;DL: game is fun. you are noob and a lame virgin loser who will never get any if you dont atleast try it...as only men play empires.. little boys play the rest.

Emipires is a modification of Source that is widely multiplayer. This game is actually really fun but I do have some complaints when it comes to this game BUT don't worry I would still recomend this game. ＰＲＯＳ -The community in this game is actually really fun to play with, if you do it correctly -This game has a really unique idea when it comes down to gameplay -Vehicles, Weapons and Classes control nicely when you get the hang of it -There are plenty of maps to choose from -Game has achievements -Only around 3-4 GB ＣＯＮＳ -There are too many things to learn in this game and it may become overwhelming if you are a new player -Only one server is usually played on but it has around 64 spaces on it (the game is dead besides that server) -The achievements are damn near impossible to earn and they don't tell you how to get them since they are "secret"

If you wanna get yelled at for not understanding the game from the first minute you play this. If you wanna get abused by old farts for not reviving them. If you have a fetish for verbal abuse. If you like getting your ass kicked the first 72 hours you play this game. If you dont mind getting overwhelmed by the complexity of this game. If you have nothing better to do on saturday evenings. This is your game. A blend of RTS/FPS/Shittalking/flaming/abuse. The most noob unfriendly community you will ever meet. Ask for help? nope. Tutorial to guide you? nope. But fuck me in my ass this is one of the most rewarding games ever once you get a hang of it. Welcome to the family fucking faggot
