  • We'z got a nob to lead us boys, wadaful.
there are 5 now. They added a roman villa-esque one that has a nice burning city in the background. that map seems not up to the quality standards of the others tho. models not as good, grass and trees look really really bad. still fun tho. has some interesting aspects. some good sniping spots to.

Raider is an extremely fun class to play, too bad I can barely hit with the sticky launcher :/

HLP people should get together and play a game. Unfortunately I've got a design review later this week and a paper and two projects due next week. Still, my ingame name is 'polpolion', add me.

I'm guessing you don't need a beta key to play anymore since it's an open beta? If you do and want to try it, I've got one to spare.

My in-game is Lesteriuse.

question, is the game as fun to play as tribes: vengeance was? i mean, at least for me, one of the problems of that game wasnt gameplay.

It's definitely fun to play, but the optimisation is horrible. I barely get 20 fps on lowest settings even with editing tribes.ini to turn more stuff off and on a lower-than-native resolution, which is somewhat understandable as I'm playing on a rig that's below the minimum configuration.

Also, you better open up your wallet if you want to get some alternative weapons as some of them cost an enormous amount of xp to buy(yes, I'm looking at you, tech thumper).

you know me. i'm game as long as the game stays free to play. afterwards? i dont give a rats ass about it.

my username is vrga

or will be anyhow, i have an account with the dev, since i played global agenda, and whilst the gameplay was fun, their worldbuilding was an epic failure.

does it support ultra widescreen ?

 
Probably not. Too much of a competitive advantage in an ultra-competitive game like Tribes.

Gameplay is superior to vengeance.
World building is similar to it though, apart from the T2 homage levels.
Lester; not sure why you've having FPS problems, my system has never gone below refresh rate on it..

I concur.
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

Vengeance was meh.  This is closer.  But Tribes 2 will always have a special place.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

WHY is there an advert for Scientology in the banner while I try to read about Winfusors and Vengeance?
