The new map is one of the best ones and I wish maps like Bella Omega would just get removed. Arena maps were pretty good too and the mode is much more enjoyable than TDM. | ||

What class/weapons should I use, what upgrades should I buy? Soldier is a good class to start out with I think. Very versatile. Try the pathfinder if you want to play around with the spinfusor without having to unlock it for soldier. Try to focus on just moving around and learning how the physics and skiing works. Once you have that down, everything else gets a lot easier. | ||

May I beg for a small introduction?  | ||

Heres an intro to skiing: This is what it should look like once you have mastered it Here is an intro to competitive CTF and the different roles people usually play: A small note is that both the skiing clips are old and if you want to gain speed using a pathfinder today, you should throw a nitrogrenade behind you instead of discjumping. You will take less damage that way and gain more speed. | ||

Ski, jump/jetpack, jump, jetpack with all the combinations. Whats the most optimal way to use THEM? Thank your for your help <3 | ||

Upgrades are really cheap, which is nice, but I hope they add more variety to the weapon types | ||

Ski, jump/jetpack, jump, jetpack with all the combinations. Whats the most optimal way to use THEM? Thank your for your help <3 I unbound Jump because it's useless and my Vent Push-to-talk is ctrl. Skiing is simple. Ski down a slope, Jump/jetpack up a slope. Fly/adjust your course to the next down slope, ski down, gain speed, rinse/repeat. Edit: If you want to get good at skiing, do this: Go into free practice mode, Go on Katabatic (Nicest scenery imo), pick the pathfinder and just enjoy flying around for a while. That's what I did. I completly forgot about the shooting aspect of the game and just enjoy going at 200 kph between hills. Once you get the hang of skiing, start using grenades and the spinfusor for boosting yourself. While your moving more or less horizontaly, turn around (while holding space) and throw a grenade directly behind you. The explosion will give you more speed. Then, to really master skiing, go play Team deathmatch as Pathfinder and focus on grabbing the flag and never giving it back! | ||

Thank your for your help <3 Personally, for movement, I use space for jump, alt for jetpack, and shift for ski. It is basically a necessity to bind a separate key to jump(a lot of people use jump/ski) if you want to ski well. http://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes/comments/q2nqp/i_made_an_image_to_explain_when_to_use_jumpjet/ | ||
