[quote]Midair is an extremely fast paced first-person shooter from Archetype Studios. The game features high-flying freedom of movement, physics-based weaponry, and player choice. Fans of FPS-Z games will feel right at home, while players new to the genre will experience a challenge that breaks the mold of traditional mass-produced shooters.[/quote]

[quote]Gliding allows you to become frictionless and travel large distances faster than you ever could by foot. You’ll also have a powerful jetpack that helps you maneuver over obstacles and dodge enemy fire. The combination of gliding, jetting, and even explosive projectiles gives you the power to reach incredible speeds.[/quote]

[quote]Suit up. Light, medium, heavy – whatever floats your boat. Choose between speed, balance, and being beautiful on the inside. We aren’t here to tell you how to play or what to use. You have the freedom of choice to figure out what armor, weapon, and item combinations work for you. A different loadout for every situation, you are the new meta.[/quote]

[quote]Generators, turrets, sensors, inventory stations, and more – the good stuff. Your base assets are a key element of victory; protect your generator, expand your base, and destroy the enemy stronghold.[/quote]

[b]Gametypes[/b]
[quote]Capture the Flag (5v5 to 16v16)
- This is the Capture the Flag we all know and love: Grab the enemy flag and bring it home before the enemy does the same to you. Build and defend your base and use teamwork to break through enemy defenses. Utilize an array of land and air vehicles on larger maps to gain the upper hand.
Arena (4v4 to 10v10)
- Smaller, close-quarters team battles where the objective is to wipe out the enemy team. Each player has only one life, so use yours wisely. Inventory station use is limited, but there are pick-ups around each map that will help dispatch the enemy. Best of 9, first to 5 rounds wins.
Rabbit
- Lots of enemies, one flag. Grab the flag to become the rabbit and RUN to get points. Sounds easy? It’s not. Extra style points for mid-air kills.
Duel (Stretch Goal)
- It’s a 1v1 deathmatch where you and an opponent face off to determine who is the superior duelist.
Siege (Stretch Goal)
- 16 players defend a stronghold against the enemy onslaught. Then, they’ll switch sides. Speed’s still the name of the game - The team to get the job done the fastest wins.
Jackpot (Stretch Goal)
- The perfect showcase for freedom of movement! Score by throwing the ball into the enemy team’s goal. Build up a jackpot by making impressive throws to your teammates, and land a slap-shot for even more bonus points.
Hunters (Stretch Goal)
- Dispatch your enemies and collect their mana capsules. Score points by taking them to the nexus and sending them to the orbiting capital ship. But stay alert - Mana tends to have a strange effect on the nexus...[/quote]
_________
[b]Weapons[/b]
[quote]Show up to the fight with a variety of distinctly different weapons that fit your style of play. Between the Ring Launcher, Chaingun, Grenade Launcher, and others, you’ll have plenty of ways to bring down your enemy. All weapons are physics based, so make sure to lead your target before firing. Point-and-shoot doesn’t work here, this takes some skill.[/quote]

[b]Vehicles[/b]
[quote]Take to the air with fighters, bombers, and transports to gain air superiority and move troops quickly across rugged terrain. Man powerful land vehicles that can move an expert driver quickly or deliver artillery where it hurts.[/quote]

Hopefully the devs stick with this game and cheating isnt as easy as editing a txt file.

[QUOTE=Aircraft;50282889]... Why? What does this offer that Tribes doesn't? I know Hi-Rez has done a poor job managing Tribes but they've done a good job rebalancing everything that players found atrocious in Out of The Blue and they're keeping up with all the various map holes and other bugs that pop up from time to time.
I would probably have a better idea if I could see gameplay but atm I can't because Youtube's player will not play anything for me right now, and neither will kickstarter's.[/QUOTE]
playerbase on t:a is practically dead and the most recent patch unbalanced the game again. hitscan and chain still reigns supreme, and t:a physics are fucked.
this is a proper game based on t1 and t2 with proper balancing.
also the entire comp scene from t1, t2, and t:a are heading to midair.
was that a finger gun
[QUOTE=Treelor;50283458]was that a finger gun[/QUOTE]
no
[QUOTE=Treelor;50283458]was that a finger gun[/QUOTE]
placeholder for now, but they're thinking of keeping it as a cosmetic skin when the game is released.
This is literally Tribes down to the style of weapons, wouldn't that put em at risk of something if Hi-rez decides to?
This doesn't have any microtransactions, subscriptions or other retarded shit like that, right?
It's not the same unless we can spam Shazbot.

But if they actually put a line like that in people would say they're trying too hard.

It's not directly copying assets so no, not really.
[QUOTE=spekter;50285384]It's not directly copying assets so no, not really.[/QUOTE]
Copyright law doesn't work like that. I'd say they're at serious risk if they wanted to press charges. Typically how the court decides isn't based on copying one single thing but number of similarities. The game would have a hard time holding up because of the vast number of similarities.
You can't copyright or patent game mechanics though, can you?
[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;50289445]You can't copyright or patent game mechanics though, can you?[/QUOTE]
Not sure but in cases like for example, Apple's what they say is
-the outer case design is similar
-certain icons for bundled apps have the exact same design
-user interface interactions produce similar effects (bouncing back from edge of screen for example, etc)
and they won. I seriously doubt hi-rez is going to pursue legal action though, the entire reason they ceased working on tribes is because they weren't turning a profit so the last thing they want to do is start losing more money from legal fees.
Tribes 2 was the shit. Ascend was a disappointment for me.

It is F2P but there is a "buy all" option with the exception for cosmetics.
edit: Unless you back $500+, you get all cosmetics as well.
so fucking tempted to back this just for it being tribes [sp] ish [/sp]
I love how they use the term "fps-z" to justify that this is a tribes copy. Kinda like LOL created the term "moba" to justify the fact that it was a dota rip off. Let's hope that just like LOL this game ends up being as big(bigger?) than the original :^)

fpsz has been a term since tribes:vengeance days back in 2007.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50291405]fpsz has been a term since tribes:vengeance days back in 2007.[/QUOTE]
oh
forget what I said then :v:
Man it looks like it plays like tribes (2) but does it [I]feel[/I] like tribes (2)?
Also, will it have Rabbit?
instant access has started!
if you paid for instant access check your e-mail for a steam key and what you need to do to get access to the backer forums.
Well, I'm surprised we have a thread for this, so yeah, time for some thread necromancy.
WAKE UP FROM THIS DEATHLY SLUMBER
And I'm doing this as this game is coming out in a few hours.
It's F2P, everybody who bought it gets everything unlocked. Haven't played it personally, though I am very eager to try it out, Tribes was tons of fun.
Finally, this had damn well better not flop.
It's been 2 years and one of the two things I've backed is finally happening...

Maybe we should set up some kind of Facepunch Midair Discord? Though I'm not sure if I will be able to play regularly.
