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.
