Empires. Its tons of fun but nobody plays it anymore. It's a free sourcemod that pits two armed forces against each other. Usually, combat is initially infantry on infantry, as the round goes on and the points accumulate, vehicles begin to show. A commander on each side chooses which army-wide upgrades are researched, which types of vehicle armor are available, can place buildings, and so on, not unlike Natural Selection. Highlights include
>4 classes: The Soldier for general shooting, the Engineer for building and turrets, the Demolitioner for RPG-ing vehicles and mortaring buildings/infantry, and the Ranger for stealth-sniping shitters
>Players can customize vehicles with the researched weapons, armor and engine, have 4 distinct layers of armor for each side that you can redistribute at will
>Map elements reveal only with active sight or sensor buildings, making communication and intel important
>Fuckhuge maps
>Late game has dedicated artillery which demolitioners can use to bomb locations across the map through trial and error

Agreed, best vehicle in the series in my mind. When I was young, me and my friend we're playing Sarge and Calypso on the downtown level. We had destroyed all of the other cars and the moonbuggy boss was put onto the field, we wanted to fuck him up so we went to the highest point of the map that only had one entrance and my friend placed Sarge's mine at the entrance and I aimed Calypso's nuke missile over it. We waited, and suddenly our opponent was there, he drove over my friends mine and as he did so, I fired my nuke perfectly in time and centered over the mine. The combined explosion looked awesome and sent the buggy flying didn't one shot it like we hoped it would though. One of those gaming experiences I'll never forget.

But there is no online only Twisted Metal, unless you mean that version of Black that you could send away for for free if you bought the PS2 modem. But Head-On and the 2012 game came out after that. Head-On is pure awesome and 2012 is still okay, but I agree the extra focus on online didn't help. Especially since the online didn't work well even when the game was new. Plus, only having three characters killed a lot of the fun. Yeah you had lots of cars but having unique characters in the cars is just more fun damnit.

The collection release was fun while it lasted, but the community is oh so small and strinking by the say. It literally went from a decently filled racing game to having the same groups of people in a lobby. I don't even think it sold well to begin with. Probably won't get a true sequel ;_;

It's not that I'm a big fan of this type of games, but I would like to see a return of hybrid action/RTS games.
Uprising, BattleZone, Savage… Hell, I'd even welcome another Brutal Legend, but with Doug TenNapel at the helm instead of Mr Shitface That is, unless he'd want to stick christian rock in, that'd be disastrous
There's something satisfying about looking over your battlefield and jumping in to help your troops directly. But I suck at strategy games, I just want this to exist and other people to truly appreciate it.

I tried out The Mean Greens yesterday and it feels criminally unpolished. I would've preferred it if it had used a different engine because UE just makes everything look too bright and blurry. It only had one server running and people kept picking the sandbox map, an open desert where snipers reigned supreme and it was all around boring with just 6 players.
I do wish this game would succeed, but devs should seriously do some work on it. Maybe make another "release", I think I've seen a couple other games on Steam do it.
