I was left with the impression that they were replicating the original tribes feel with today's graphics. That was a while ago and now that the game is in beta I'm seeing these types of reports. The very thing I was afraid of. There are plenty of generic shooters that give a "halo with jetpacks" experience, why on earth would they make Tribes the same way? | ||

Super disappointing, but not surprising. Global Agenda, which also had jetpacks, was pretty much Halo with jetpacks rather than Tribes. | ||

I mean i enjoyed halo 1 & 2 immensely, 3 was good with friends, reach was absolute trash. I guess i'm trying to figure out if its worth it since it seems to be the only interesting FPS out now. | ||

Well, tribes is still a great game, but they've totally monetized it and sacrificed gameplay in order to do so Atm my fav class is the raider, nade launcher seems pretty strong atm compared to most ground targeting weapons, and they got a SMG to boot | ||

If you've never played tribes before then yes it's worth it, if you loved T1 or T2 Classic, then you might find a few niggles with it - but it's still beta and they are patching so I don't think it's fair to say do/don't play yet. It is FUN for me though as a T1/T2/T:V veteran so even with the minor complaints that I have I'm still enjoying it. | ||

As for T:A - I'm glad with some of the changes they're finally doing, especially the weapons inheriting player momentum. Hopefully they'll do more updates which bring back the skill ceiling that was in T1/T2C. | ||

If you just played casually you might enjoy it, but as it is its more like tribes:ground edition. Heck jets barely have enough juice to make it to your flag stand. Have you upgraded your energy regen and friction reduction talents yet? Or just hour 1 whine? :p | ||

The fact that you even have to upgrade it in the first place is utterly retarded and is only used as a mechanism to keep players playing a bad game. If it weren't for the fact it had tribes in the name I probably would have uninstalled it after 30 minutes. | ||

Jetpack doesn't give directional thrust which is a MAJOR difference from T1, but remember this is BETA and they are making changes. Look at SC2 beta, all the stupid shit in that, it all worked out in the end. | ||

Look at SC2 beta, all the stupid shit in that, it all worked out in the end. Decent speeds? I go down one hill and I hit the speed cap. How it works out without caps I have no idea, but jets are pitiful. Have you not ever played tribes 2 classic or T1 base? I honestly don't believe you if you call TA speeds "decent". Also disc jumps are completely worthless, so naturally chasing is kinda a joke. SC2 was also devved by a company with a history of making good games. I haven't heard too many good things about Global Agenda, mostly that its a pretty mediocre game and that they don't give a shit about the community. | ||

And yeah I was a long time T1 vet, played a month of T2 and quit in disgust before classic arrived and played a bit of T:V as well. | ||
