Tribes: Ascend v2: I went slow once and it was awful - Games

I think moving the base turrets back to where they originally were, or at least two of them, on Bella Omega. It is far too hard to harass the flag defense with the turrets up, making the game hinge around the generator

Drydock varies wildly, Crossfire is pretty balanced.

They don't do it here in EU from what I can see, we prefer to go fast.

I got a code for this game out of the blue. Going to try it tomorrow. anything I should know? is there a tutorial?

[QUOTE=Crimor;34718821]They don't do it here in EU from what I can see, we prefer to go fast.[/QUOTE] A few do, not really an amount to worry about, generally after a few shots, someone has run up there to harass them and since they have tunnel vision normally you can just slap them and finish them off quite easily.

[QUOTE=The golden;34718554]Drydock is quickly becoming my least favourite map. As soon as the round starts everyone and their goddamn dog grabs Juggernaut and parks their ass on the cliff and just mortar/MIRV spams for the ENTIRE ROUND.[/QUOTE] I agree, but for some different reasons. The biggest problem I have with Drydock is the lack of hills to ski on, at least compared to maps like Bella Omega. You can either ski at 130 through the small hills in the middle, or take the painful trip up the mountain to get a fast ski down to the enemy flag, which leads me to the next issue, the flag position. The flag is too easy to attack compared to most other maps. It's on a big empty platform at ground level. Defending it effectively is far too difficult, as enemy Sentinels and Juggernauts can simply sit on the mountain and destroy any deployables in the area. I'm also bothered by the interior areas of the map. The interiors are extremely small and narrow, and classes like Raider have it too easy with their explosive spammy weapons. I wish the interiors were larger, akin to Katabatic and Arx Novena. The extra maneuvering room would reduce the effectiveness of spamming in these areas.

The extra maneuvering room would reduce the effectiveness of spamming in these areas.[/QUOTE] The genny is easy for techs to cover though. The cqc makes excellent spacing for their grenades/thumper (if they have it) and their turrets can be placed effectively. Combine it with a couple forcefields and it's pretty good. But in all honesty the maps really need some work.

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;34719071]The genny is easy for techs to cover though.[/QUOTE] As a Tech I disagree, it's way too close for the turrets to be effective. The instant they start shooting, the target'll see them and lob a grenade or fire a shot or two and it's bye-bye turret. Plus you can't put the turrets in optimal positions because the game won't let you put them close together. Tight enclosed spaces are bad for turrets, they need more open areas where the enemy's less likely to notice them instantly and where the enemy might actually miss a shot or two on them. Drydock is definitely my least favorite map. There's nowhere to ski, it's way too easy to grab the flag, and defending it is a continual exercise in frustration.

[/QUOTE] It's difficult indeed, maps like this stop it being a total snore fest which in general stops stalemates where no-one can grab the flag because defense is too heavy. On the flip side you have maps like Bella Omega which promotes camping, and if 1 team has a few people sitting at the flag it becomes stupidly hard to grab it. There needs to be a better balance on how effective defending the flag is.

[QUOTE=catbarf;34719214]As a Tech I disagree, it's way too close for the turrets to be effective[/QUOTE] One below the down ramp, covers one entrance to the gen room and a corridor. Other on the corner in the T section corridor covering the other door and the corridor. Generally works effectively since one turret shoo's them into the corridor where they bump into the other turret covering the T. Only heavy classes need mopping up with the thumper/smg/grenades. Yes you have to put up with raiders/infiltrators, but you get those on all maps.

Honestly, Diamond Sword armor looks kinda silly. I much prefer the Blood Eagle armor.

If anyone doesn't like that projectiles for automatic weapons come from the gun and not the center of your screen, good news! [img]http://speedcap.net/img/91c6e27a753ad9b8a718adb3d802bbe2/ff35afcb.png[/img]
