[QUOTE=Saber15;34234611]-Battlefield style vehicle respawns. Instead of just letting players take whatever the hell they wanted, they had to sit around vehicle spawn points waiting for the current vehicle to be destroyed and respawn.
-Smaller maps (Though the Urban maps were fucking awesome)
-Idiotic balance - The sniper rifle used both [I]all[/I] your energy and also required ammunition, yet it had less range than the chaingun.
-Less tactical stuff. There weren't half as many deployables, the command map was gone, and the bases were dramatically simplified.
-Slower gameplay.
-They cut huge amounts of content from Tribes 2. There were only 4 packs (Movement speed pack, energy pack, shield pack, repair pack). The vehicles were cut down to a rover, a tank, a fighter, and a gunship.
-Extremely simple base designs, in comparison to Tribes' usual labyrinth bases.
Tribes Ascend suffers from the lack of tactical stuff and small maps, but it otherwise plays very similarly to Tribes 2.[/QUOTE]It had pretty graphics though.
i gave a beta key to a fp user and he dident replied back...not even a thank you ):
Does anyone else have an eyefinity or nVidia surround setup working properly on this game?

On a further note I cannot aim a spinfusor to save my life.

Let it be your last thumper kill.
With the assault rifle, we're literally useless against heavies.
Started playing Tribes again today. Haven't played in a few months, nice to see that it's getting the attention it deserves. [B](Jesus fuck gaining Tokens is slow.)[/B]
Being a slow bulky jack of all trades (Soldier) doesn't suit me much. I prefer skiing around the map capping things and taking down EFC's.
Would Pathfinder be a good choice for my playstyle? I only have 1.4k tokens after a few hours of play, still need 400 more.
(I seem to have got used to Skiing really quick. I can zoom around the map at 180~ without no problems usually, but I still hit shit face-on from time to time. Plus, all those hours of playing soldier in TF2 have really helped hitting things, I've already had a bunch of blue plates from chasing down people mid air and blowing up their shit :v:)

It'd be nice if they increased token gain a little. I bought VIP and my boost has since expired, but even with the VIP extras it's still pretty slow, must be even worse for someone without the 50% extra. I'd rather the game cost like $5 or $10 and have token/XP gain a little faster.

Pathfinder is a great class. It's just so easy to go fast and anyone who has skill with soldier can quickly become really good with pathfinder.
Don't let people tell you its only for capping either, you can go head-to-head with most medium classes and even juggernauts. Also it's better than the jumper in every way.

I find the pathfinder best against DoomBringer's. just jump around them while shooting them with the light spinfuser, then finishing with the shotgun. If you jump around fast enough he wont be able to hit you
The ultimate anti heavy class is probably the scrambler.
They are awfully easy to stick with your launcher, and there goes 1800 health.

Why does that .gif look smoother than how my game runs :smith:.
I have been playing for a week and still only had enough tokens to unlock 1 class. I can see why they did this. I'm tempted to buy vip just so I can play some new classes.
Jesus christ Jumpers are hard to kill.
They just jump around all over the place laughing at you while you try to shoot them
[editline]21st January 2012[/editline]
I'm looking for a class that's great for base harassment, which would be better.
raider or Scrambler?

Both are perfect for it. I'd go for the raider though, for the shield and better secondary.
[QUOTE=krail9;34318904]Both are perfect for it. I'd go for the raider though, for the shield and better secondary.[/QUOTE]
Scrambler is [I]really[/I] shit unless you have godlike aim. You need 3 direct hits with the ARX to get a kill, and the ARX has 3 shots per magazine. The Sparrow pistol is a bad joke.
[QUOTE=The golden;34319024]Is there any special tricks to using the Infiltrator right? No matter which gun or which tactics I use I never get anywhere. I don't die often, I just can't seem to kill anything or be anyway useful.[/QUOTE]
Spoiler: Infiltrator is shit at infiltrating. :v:
It is, however, an amazing class for chasing and flag capping. The silenced pistol does ridiculous damage (as much as the Sniper's Nova Colt, but it's much easier to aim).
If the enemy has a ton of defense, grab the flag while cloaked - they won't see you coming.
Get the backstab perk ASAP. It's amazing.
Tribes should totally go mainstream with knifing and make it auto target for you.
