Thanks for the link, and I thought that thread was about the closed beta or whatever.

[bojangles]

I am impressed, runs nice, graffics are good, netcode is flawless, jetpacks, skiing, I am not a fan of the weapons though. It is kinda just a spam fest with nades and rockets.

[Banyan]

the one thing i really dont like about it is how everyone uses the spinfusor thing and rarely anything else. i guess that's balance for you :rolleyes:

on top of that the game just feels like a ut2k4 mod to me.

[Vertical_Zer0]

I hate waiting in line at File Planet... are there any other mirrors out there?

Nice, thanks!

[masterchief]

Wow I have to say I'm addicted to the grapple hook thingy... I've spent hours in my own game swinging around :)

[bojangles]

I think the weapons are all innefective. Even the spin fusor which everyone uses, isn't very good. And ya, it does feel a lot like a UT2k4 mod. I doubt I will buy it.

The Spinfusor has been the primary weapon in Tribes ever since the original. It's my primary as well, even though I'm better with the Grenade Launcher. ;)

I think the weapons feel more ineffective than it did in the past because they're trying to compensate for not having repair packs. Personally I'd rather have the damage levels modelled on how it was in T1 and T2, but I can live with this.
I have to say I'm impressed with the netcode. Even with seemingly bad lag, it doesn't effect you as much as it did in the past, and you can keep moving without any ill effect.

[Docta_Z]

Having been playing tribes since the original came out I'm utterly in love with this game.

They brought back the feeling they created in the first game - but lost in the second.

SUCH a good game. I'm DROOLING about what they'll add for the final edition.

Hope it comes out soon.

Thanks!

When I go to install, it asks for a serial number. How do I get one and is this legal?

[bojangles]

You got to sign up for the Beta, it is easy, I got mine from fileplanet.

[YellowDart]

yea, just hit up fileplanet.com and sigh up for the beta there... you'll get a valid key.

dl'ing my copy now! :D

too much delay with the sniper rifle... its WAY to slow...

or maybe im just used to iG.

other that thats its pretty cool

[Bensa]

Only one bad bug, the fact that you often get stuck in a spot and start jerking around. Its not lag though, just a bug.

[KnowlesTech]

I found that the rocket launcher shoots rockets into the ground depending on where your aiming but they do not blow up. They appear like the alt+fire in Unreal.

You obviously didn't play tribes or tribes 2.

That's how the sniper rifle has always been.

It's good.

no I never played Tribes before. Its horrible.

[KfistoRok]

Just completed the dl.. Gonna check this puppy out. :)

[YellowDart]

Been playing it since last night. I must say, I'm impressed w/ how smooth everything runs... although, is it just me, or does anybody else feel like the weapons seem a little ineffective and/or hollow???

[KfistoRok]

What the crap! Contents cannot be unpacked! Wasted corrupt download. :mad:

yeah

takes forever to kill people

[Kibo-kun]

I'm downloading now. :D I LOVED Tribes 2...until I lost my acct. password and it was linked to an old e-mail address...and they only allow 1 account per CD-Key and I can't find the game anymore. XD But....this game looks...awesome. I can't wait to get my hands (and tongue) on this game! lol, I hope sniping is as much fun in this game as it was in T2...even though headshots were pretty ineffective compared to other games and sometimes people just Plasma spammed to spawn points and flags and I'm glad thye lowered weapon damage for that reason. I did well enough before and I hardly ever used packs....I wasn't very strategic, I just killed as support and Defended the base with snipes. :) That's what I love about Tribes...your class doesn't determine your role, to a point. You can even go Rambo as a light armor if you know what to do! lol, reminds me of when I was a Rambo medic in RTCW...good times giving people the big STFU when they say medics should stick to healing, not shooting and I get way more kills than them and still heal my team. :D :attn:

[richklein]

What happened to the shrike? I really kinda enjoyed T2 being a flight sim in a sense.

I see theres a "ball" flying vehicle. Is that the "new" shrike?

Is there a list of vehicles somewhere?

[masterchief]

I've seen 4 vehicles, a light dune buggy that shoots rockets I think, a tank that's slow but extremely powerful, the "ball" thing that shots rockets and can go in any direction, and a transport/bomber with two gunner mounts on the sides.
