Tribes: Ascend v3: Would the real shazbot please stand up - Games

Monomaniacs took the NASL champion title at 3-2 and that means they get a piece of $10,000 between them. And because it was such a good match Tribes seems to have put itself solidly into the E-sports market because the SC2 guys were cheering by the end of it, despite them being rather quiet at the start.

and in a surprising turn of events, the entirety of tao showed up at the nasl finals to take the grand finals for themselves!!!!! tao on top!! Very exciting games, camerawork wasn't great and there were a few casting screwups but otherwise, great fun to watch and an awesome first-impressions look at T:A for the folks who were only watching to see SC2.

[QUOTE=The golden;36786614] 170kph [/QUOTE] LoL scrub. But seriously the jackal needs a nerf.

Anyone care to add me (Steam) and play some Shrike CTF?

Stop arguing over you dying.

[QUOTE=The golden;36786614]Did you not read my post "l can insta-fire 3 rounds onto the point before you even have time to react and can insta-kill you" I'm well aware that you can shot jakal rounds. However, when I'm flying at a point at 170kph and I'm 2 meters away from the cap-point and a CLOAKED inf fires off 3 rounds just before I touch it - I can't exactly shoot them can I? He didn't even lay a trap. He just flatout killed me instantly in under half a second.[/QUOTE] So are you saying he managed to fire all 3 and detonate them in 42 milliseconds? If you're that worried about the jackal just fire a shot so that it hits just before you do, even if the point looks empty. I don't see how you have such a problem with this.

Half of the weapons in the game are perfect for clusterfucking the cap point anyway. In CTF people should be fucking with base def as much as possible to break it down because it only takes one person to cap.

You guys do know that you can destroy the jackal bombs with anything,even when they are fire. Might take some aim and reflexes to do it,but it happened to me.

Jackle-asses make generator defenders cry themselves to sleep.

So I haven't played this since closed beta, it seems like it has changed a ton. Need to reinstall this.

It's changed massively since closed beta, there's lots of new features and weapons to play with.

I just unlocked the bolt launcher why didn't I do this earlier

fuck a sentinel skin?

glad i have 1070 gold saved up

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36817171]give me suggestions to add to splash screen on startup, his is what i have so far [img]http://i.imgur.com/lO6Nh.png[/img][/QUOTE] I'm totally blazed right now, wat.

This patch is blowing my mind

Is there a way to make it so the terrain is always at max LOD no matter how far you are? It's irritating when I ski, and then if I'm high enough, I can see distant hills slowly gain more polygons. And in some cases I can see under the map because the part of the hill needs one more polygon to connect it to the other portion of terrain.

Temple Ruins and Tartarus. Worst maps or [I]worst[/I] maps?

good patch on paper, now let's see what hi-rez does with it.

[quote=HiRezStew]Reduced damage on Infiltrator’s Jackal so it can no longer 1 shot an upgraded medium from stealth. This is a 16% reduction.[/quote] update of the year, all the years [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] Also I can't wait to see what these twinfusor are like

Why do I imagine the twinfusor to be two spinfusors next to each other fused together.

twinfusors shoots 2 discs before reloading, it was in a mod for the old tribes games.
