wow, that's actually a ridiculously inaccurate first impression to get
well explain why im wrong, it doesnt look like ctf it looks like team elimination. the objective isnt to run the flag because its impossible to run a flag if anyone on their team is alive, you die so fast. so infact the goal is to kill their entire team at the same time then run a token flag unopposed across the map.
oh and suddenly theres a plane, ok.
You seriously have no idea what you are talking about.
what part of first impressions and please explain it to me are you struggling with. if no one who plays this game is willing to explain it what am i supposed to take away beyond, oh a plane.
last cap, from my perspective. he runs in a perfectly straight line down a straight map and the only person who tries to shoot him tries to shoot him while hes jumping (air behind him) rather than into the hills, where the explosion will deal damage off the floor. so a guy just runs across the map and people who are terrible in terms of fps mechanics all miss him and for some reason 2 people were in planes.
help me understand this massive skill cap they keep talking about because i dont see it
Hey, bro.
I just watched this game called Starcraft 2. I personally found it pretty boring and don't understand why it's so popular. All I did was watch two guys make an army and attack each other and that was it. They also do this thing where they just spam making boxes at the beggining of the game. Why do that? Also, apparently there's more than 3 types of unit for each race (Terran, Protoss, and some other alien race who has a hot girl as their leader), but I don't understand why the game developers bothered to put them in since they were never used (maybe for Single Player?). It seems like I could just take a couple of weeks playing the game before I can be as good as them...
very funny, except this is a starcraft orientated site watching a starcraft league. if you want people on teamliquid to understand a random game being played at nasl you need to do a better job than LOL BUT ITS HARD TO SHOOT.

we are watching a sc2 stream not a tribes stream.
We are watching an NASL stream which isn't exclusively SC2.
what exactly do you think nasl stands for
I'm betting you think SC2 is the pinnacle of skill in competitive video games. LOL
I shooter games have a low skill cap relative to all other games just because you only have to focus on teamwork, reflexs, some mindgaming.
.. wut? Do you know how hard it is for five people to work in a proper fashion in a fast-paced game?
i tried, i really tried to give this game a chance... But i cant help yawning over and over again. This is sooooo boring, this isnt anything against tribes, I just hate watching all shooter games in general.
if you are truly interested in the game beyond trolling some idiots on teamliquid into a sc2 vs tribes debate then you should just go download it, it's free

It's not that difficult (in tribes at least) everyone already has a set role as the game starts, and only minor adjustments really get made throughout. It all really comes down to communication and calling things out that matters. ex: capping incoming from behind, grabbing in 10 seconds, get an egrab etc.

It's really fun to play, but I don't like spectating it either.

tribes looks boring, but in other FPS games working together is pretty diff
