INCOMING ENEMY VEHICLE

[QUOTE=xxncxx;36628823]That pisses me off, and the amount of people who camp then act like 12 year olds when you call them out.[/QUOTE] People in general tend to act like or are 12-year olds in F2P steam games. There is a reason I don't play TF2 any more.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36632822]People in general tend to act like or are 12-year olds in F2P steam games. There is a reason I don't play TF2 any more.[/QUOTE] I never met 12 yr olds that misbehaved. But that must be because of the servers that i go to. But seriously,that is the reason you quit TF2? You do know that there are a lot of servers that ban those lil' fuckers.

I laugh when people camp, because fractals just tickle my funny gland.

[QUOTE=xxncxx;36628823]That pisses me off, and the amount of people who camp then act like 12 year olds when you call them out.[/QUOTE] If by "camp" you mean "turtle" I'm confused. I might be lucky or there's a huge difference between the players in each region. I rarely see turtling that directly results in the team losing. Most of the time, the reason for teams losing is because people don't realize the enemy generator isn't a good idea to have half the team attack. Also, it helps having more than one pathfinder in a full team. By the way, how viable is the Shrike in the competitive side of Tribes? Flying shrikes is pretty much the only thing I've been doing the last few days and it seems to me like most cappers don't stand a chance against them. Will this change when you go up against good cappers that know how to cap the flag at over 250?

it's double xp weekend

How competitive is this game? I'm always afraid to try some of these PvP free to play games because they look like they might be too competitive to be fun for me. I like less serious games like TF2.

[QUOTE=The golden;36634868]Congrats, you used an OP weapon to farm points in the gen room rather than actually help your team.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Eltro102;36635006]it's double xp weekend[/QUOTE] Yeah you should be farming.

Still, it is free to play so you could try it for a bit and then see if you like it or not.

They're very effective against LO and can hunt down most cappers, save for extremely fast back to fronts and other routes with ridiculously short return times.

Don't forget screaming [VFF] about six times before watching a SLD llama grab at 36kph Edit: Chirno rated me dumb, so Chirno, what do you have against capping flags, bad because you don't get XP or some lame ass excuse?

I was so happy when I found out that you could mute people ingame with /mute in the console.

I have 250 gold from facebook, what should I purchase?

[QUOTE=Skela;36640346]I have 250 gold from facebook, what should I purchase?[/QUOTE] Either wait for something on a daily deal or get a perk.

[QUOTE=Espio;36640423]This is why you turn down the vgs sounds[/QUOTE] might work in arena / tdm, but you need the vgs on ctf..

Today I learned that you can block spinfusor disks with mines.

[QUOTE=lapsus_;36640577]might work in arena / tdm, but you need the vgs on ctf..[/QUOTE] Why exactly? People have no sense of teamwork and I'm not going to cap the flag at less than 200 so I have absolutely no reason to listen to the VGS in pubs
