I really should start playing this again.

Players can now test unowned weapons and classes in the Target Practice map under Training. Classes and Weapons will still appear locked on your menu, but if you select them, you can try them.

Also i had no idea the patch was so close, guess i'll have to cut some skyrim time for Tribes again. Can't wait to return to Raindance edit: im sorry that i have a busy schedule Chirno :(

[quote=patchnotes][VUG] (CTF only): "Upgrade our generator!" [VUS] (CTF only): "Upgrade our sensors!" [VUT] (CTF only): "Upgrade our base turrets!"[/quote] [VGY] So happy. Of course, this still relies on people moving to the base utility and pressing G. [quote=patchnotes]Fixed issue where announcer messages would overlap.[/quote] Unfortunate.

[QUOTE]Shrike now has a horn![/QUOTE] My life is now complete

Update is downloading, holy crap 600 MB.

OH WOW IM EXCITED. also beta players are getting some bonus xp and a badge

[QUOTE=krail9;35520879]Has anyone used soldier proximity grenades? They sound cool.[/QUOTE] You can easily farm airmails with them by shooting lights once with the spinfusor and force them to fly straight up.

I was kind of hoping for a "[VRD] - Repair our deployables!" command or something. Still a great update, can't wait to play.

[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;35493995]Do you have the Phase Rifle too? I'm tempted to get it but I wanna hear what it's like.[/QUOTE] If you haven't already decided, since the game is now released, there's a chance to Training Mode, it allows you to try weapons and classes you haven't unlocked yet, go ahead and try out the phase rifle, it takes a while to get used to, and you might not like the way it drains your energy to do full damage, but it can be really good. Though the use of the Phase Rifle implies you'll stay closer to your allies and switch to your secondary much more often as soon as someone comes near, unless you can make sure to kill him with a non scoped shot.

[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;35523053][url]https://hi-rez.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/312[/url][/QUOTE] No new weapons, but at least we got two gamemodes and a new ctf map, also, fuck yes testing weapons

[QUOTE=Raidyr;35521344]They have the second best dueling weapon in the game what are you talking about.[/QUOTE] what u talking about? grenades/sticks on open field are bad his smg aint the best smg.

still no demo recording system/ first person view on spec/ custom HUDs and crosshairs meh

[QUOTE=C4rnage;35523879]what u talking about? grenades/sticks on open field are bad his smg aint the best smg.[/QUOTE] SMG is second best.

[QUOTE=phabeZ;35523649]I was kind of hoping for a "[VRD] - Repair our deployables!" command or something. Still a great update, can't wait to play.[/QUOTE] I was hoping we'd get a 'I will retrieve our flag'

VFQ

Testing weapons is awesome [QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35524296]I was hoping we'd get a 'I will retrieve our flag'[/QUOTE] VFQ

[QUOTE=Raidyr;35524193]SMG is second best.[/QUOTE] it is the slowest smg

I'm so excited to test the locked weapons/classes. I was royally pissed off when the feature no longer existed after the customization patch.

[QUOTE=4RT1LL3RY;35521202]Gimbal Lock is a limitation caused by certain types of rotational systems, I think euler's. You know how in an FPS you control 2 axis with your mouse, the horizontal has no limit on roation. The vertical is limited to <90 degrees both up and down. You can't do a barrel roll in the shrike with its current physics. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock[/url] Ever seen a Gimbal before, its like a gyro in a gyro. In a 3 axis on there is this weird thing that happens when you spin all three. You would expect each to move smoothly along its axis of rotation right? But you see at a certain point though it is still moving in its axis its isn't moving in space, it looks like it wobbles The Pink and Green do as expected, but the blue doesn't move In an FPS we are on the pink gimbal for side to side and the blue gimbal for verticle. However you need to place limits on how far you can go to prevent player models/ animations from breaking due to gimbal lock. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Gimbal_3_axes_rotation.gif/220px-Gimbal_3_axes_rotation.gif[/img] Its complicated and very cool. Read it, learn it, exploit it in games to prevent people from maintaining aim on you. TLDR; Basically it is special situations where an object with 3 degrees of freedom is limited to 2 degrees of freedom.[/QUOTE] i require a in game video of how u use this

[QUOTE=C4rnage;35524551]i require a in game video of how u use this[/QUOTE] tl;dr: fly directly above people so they have to spin around to aim at you.

Just got a 30,000 point game with Juggernaut. I'm awesome. In the new gamemode :(

[QUOTE=krail9;35524577]tl;dr: fly directly above people so they have to spin around to aim at you.[/QUOTE] If this truly had any effect, it would have the same effect on the person in flight, rendering the tactic pointless :v:

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35525353][B]Cool.[/B] [U]No longer cool.[/U][/QUOTE] zdawgs tonight we will go fast and show these jugs how to play

Playing Juggernaut is like playing a Sam + Max game.
