hey, empires mod 2.2 got released today. Its a pretty sweet mod, and came 3rd in MODDB's mod of the year competition (it was 2nd best HL2 mod, losing to insurgency).
2.2 is a port to the orange box engine, and it looks amazing. For those who haven't played empires, its sort-of like natural selection except with vehicles, and humans etc.
This is my favourite half life 2 mod, and i'd strongly urge everyone to play it. You need to read the manual before playing though, otherwise you'lll not know what to do and you'll just get bored. One bad thing about this mod is, if you get a commander who does't know what they are doing, then the team doesn't have a hope in suceeding. So if you think this mod is bad at first, play a couple of games before totaly giving up on it. Games average about 30mins-1 hour, though you can have some jeep rush games (very unlikely to work) which make a game last 5minutes, or a epic stalemate (my favourite) with games lasting over 1 hour 30mins!
EDIT: here are some good youtube vids showing gameplay of the mod
