Anarchy showed off the new temple ruins map on his stream yesterday. It's a lot flatter than before, so you can't reach those insane 400+ speeds as easily anymore. The center volcano is gone too.

shield pack + NJ4 makes you hands down the best 1v1 dueling class in the game.

Take a midair spinfusor disc with shield pack on and you're almost stuck on the ground, making it hard to avoid splash damage. Potential energy sort of mitigates this but it only does so much.

Sure, they can MA you once, but you can melt anything short of a heavy in less than the time they have to reload.

So what do you think about the new maps?

I don't think they are my favourites. I like the Sun -thing better but it is quite the Sentinel playground. I still don't like Temple too much, although it is better.

Also there are still bugs in the terrain. I was going 150+ towards on Katabatic to suddenly realize I was going back where I was coming from.

Had some of the best games ever today, an entire 16v16 pub where over 85% of the players where above rank 20 and did something useful. Had some really awesome matches. The games had some intensity to them which I hadn't felt in a long time, since almost when I started playing the beta. Really reminded me of why I play the game as much as I do. I just wish that would happen more often. I wish I where whitelisted.... oh well, private servers should be coming soon.

Also, I really don't like sunfire, way to flat.

I heard the new map is a rework of Bella Omega. Anyone confirm/deny? I'm mainly curious because I'd like to see some more maps with vibrant colors such as Crossfire/Temple or even Katabatic(yes, I know it's just pure white but... it's not dull graygreenish like Arx/Bella/Drydock).

Hopefully I'll soon be back to grinding for my Pilot perk. Shrike duels end in LOL HES GONNA TUR- oooh... so often.

Deny. It has towers that look like Bella. It has a generator room that's kinda like Bella. It has similar white sand to Bella. It has built-in forcefields like Bella.

But it is flaaaaaaaaaat. And no roof on the flag stand. And one giant sniper tower sitting in the middle like an outstretched middle finger to every single pathfinder on the map.

You have never been stuck 1v1ing any decent competitive level raider.

After what you guys said I gave raider a try.

Adding automatic weapons (aside from the chaingun) is probably one of the worst things you can do to a Tribes game.

The nj4 basically is a chaingun lol.

Also they're pretty much essential to the game, if you rely upon midairs cappers will never die and it'll take far too long to clear people off a stand.

ALSO HOLY SHIT THERES NO LAG ANYMORE

Did they do something to Drydock? It felt like people were going much faster on Drydock than they used to.

Be sure to check out my stream. It's been approved & added here on TL.net. Also, try to support the game if you enjoy playing it. I'd like to see TL.net add this game to their list of streaming content options in the games dropdown menu.

The nj4 is a chaingun with no spin up and it has pinpoint accuracy, lol. At least the chaingun in T2 had a spread that made it somewhat hard to finish people off with stray bullets.

What? In base maybe. In classic it was incredibly easy to hit people with stray bullets. Spin up time wasn't that long either.

The new sight for sentinel zooming in is so ugly, and it blocks a lot of the screen. I hate it

I wonder if I can edit some files to change it back?

More like an outstretched middle finger to any vehicles. Doombringers up there are hard to root out and they can hit nearly any vehicle they can see.
I don't know about you, but constantly ducking your shrike behind your base's tower kind of mitigates the fun, not to mention your ability to hunt down pathfinders.

I really like it but I'm not sure if I like it with the change that your aim won't turn red anymore. Because now you can't know if the guy in the distance you were aiming at is behind the dot or not, whereas you could even see him before, with the worse reticle.

They did make a good job with the lag though. Overcoming the laws of physics, couldn't ask for more!

I've watched your stream quite a bit. Very enjoyable! Especially with mic. You seem to keep getting banned though :p

Not sure why Sunstar is a sniper friendly map.. it's so easy to get around that sentinels have no place which is somewhat safe. Same with Shrike/Beo, there's just 0 terrain to hide from doombringers.
