Empires, a Forgotten HL2 Mod, or is it ?

Empires wasone of those interestinghalf life 2mods released on steam way back in the day.It never really exploded in popularity which can be seen at its overall player count of less than 100 only on the game during the weekends.I howeversee a whole lot of potential for its formula to be implemented in a new manner on a more modern engine than source. It's a brilliant formula that hasn't been done justice.

So what's this brilliant formula that hasn't taken off and why hasn't it taken off ? Imagine, battlefield. Then add a commander who builds buildings such a vehicle factories, barracks, and the whole nine yards of an RTS blended in nicely with that chaotic FPS fun. This in theory is a really interestingbut the technical limitations of the times kept it from truly flourishing. However. technology has progressed so much since this mod was released but the mod itself is still stuck in 2010. I believe with a little bit of love from some talented people this game can go from a diamond in the rough to an S tier gaming experience. You guys should give it a look this weekend and see what you think.
