Description
Empires is a Source engine mod (meaning if you have HL2, CS:S, DoD:S or any other source game) you can freely download it and play it for free through Steam. Similar to Battlefield 2 and 2142, this is a large scale FPS which make some great vehicle maps. Smaller maps provide more infantry based action, most gamemodes are like "territories" or "assault" from halo/battlefield where you take control points.
Its actually a very unique mod, most are just another BF2/CSS ripoff but this is a mix of both with RTS added in.
There are close-quarter street maps which have inline capture points which focus on head-to-head combat, and open terrain strategy maps in which one player is made Commander. The teams are Northern Factions vs Brenodi.
Roles:
Commander
Construct buildings and performs research for the team
Engineers
Construct the buildings placed by the commander (They are built with 20%hp). Can also build one turret, one radar system, 10 walls and drop supplies. They can also use their handy dandy repair tool to revive and heal teammates (Upgrade needed to revive).
The game also features Soldiers, Snipers and Demolitions as classes with their own obvious purposes.
Each class has its own set of upgrades, and there are global upgrades like health and speed. These are access through the selection menu after you get a certain amount of points. They do not carry over to other rounds.
