 Epic last 5 minutes too. It was 4-4, and we each had the flag. All of us were tossing the flag between each other as to not die. I only got to hold it once, briefly before I had to set it off as I got clipped by an air strike from a Shrike. But fuck it was intense. | ||

It takes about half a clip to kill a full health medium with the AR if you're hitting 100%. Even the best of the best don't do this. They need at least two clips (top level players) to kill someone at distance (across midfield Katabatic for instance) and when they do, that's a once a map shot. Body blocking is one of the hardest aspects in this game right now. The flag reach perk makes it almost impossible, and even if you're sporting 'Super Heavy' you're going to be pinballed aside enough for a capper to get through when you're on the flag itself. What you need to do is to anticipate the trajectory and block in mid-air. Which isn't a small feat. It's a 'cry out and go WHOAH' moment for a caster. That is of course when the capping routes are anything like this and aren't just straightforward front to back at 200. You'll be lucky not to get MAed if you're doing those. ^a competitive EU match played yesterday. I wasn't main caster, but you can here me muttering in the background now and then. Oh really? What team are you on? One of the EU ones I'm assuming, but I'm curious being on a team myself. | ||

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that there is commentary for pro games already but how is all of this organized? Theres a really hardcore community from Tribes 2. A lot of them switched over and kept the same communication. They have big IRC channels on quake net and a team speak server for all teams to join. | ||

Yeppppppp Theres a ascend channel of some sort on quakenet (apparently euros go here) and the US scene mostly goes to tribalwar.irc.com in #ascend. And I wouldn't really call it pro games. Most of us are just ex t1/t2 comp players with a few people from other games. | ||

lots of bad/good stuff this is the neatest one i think Tweaked the Shrike controls: increased reverse thrust, vertical thrust, and added separate pitch/yaw sensitivity Configuration (under Settings | Gameplay). | ||

Looks like chasing will be even worse than before.... Whiteouts did get nerfed though, and now you can chase as a pathfinder with disc/light AR/nitrons/thrust pack if you want to. Medium chasing is clearly worse though with the thumper nerf, but the tech has one as well so you might drop turrets to chip some HP off and go chase after them. | ||

YES. I was debating whether to get Scrambler or Raider yesterday. Picked up Raider, and now I find out I can use the most broken capping ability in the game (self scramble) on my Raider. Fuck yes :D | ||
