Tribes Vengeance Beta

[Kam]

I downloaded it off of Fileplanet and I have to say it's one of the best games I've ever played. Don't flame me, but I have to say it's more enjoyable than Planetside. The thing that you notice the most, besides the graphics :eek:, is the fact that now each "empire" has their own armor models. Tribes 2 people remember that the old armor was all the same, just the coloring was different. (Except for the aliens.) The vehicles are amazing and original, as are all the wepons and I have traken a fancy to heavy assault with the morter. I can't wait till it's released and we get even more vehicles and maps. I give Tribes Vengeance Beta a 5/5. GO DL IT.

[Doop]

I want T:V beta. Hsjlsjdrlsdjf.

[Khronos]

I want T:V beta. Hsjlsjdrlsdjf.

then dl it :doh:



im having so much fun with the game.


oh btw, look for a server called "Hopefullll" , that'd be me.

if there's a pass its "12"

[Rayder]

It's still beta, and there are a lot of things that need fixing.

[Infernus]

Its still beta... and I am beginning to feel the tribes-esque community... hamma was right...

[Darksim]

Anyone wanna join the clan im in (IGP) ?

Swing over to #IGP (ingame client or irc.dynamix.com)

[Lonehunter]

Yes it is an awesome game. I've played it so much though I need MORE DAMN maps!

[Ivan]

$100 says the good old Tribes 2 community kills the game.

[Peacemaker]

I say they do it before the game goes gold. The fuckers already ban people for being a noob or for being too good. I just wanted to try the game out... but it seems hamma was right. No reason too.

[EarlyDawn]

IMO, they streamlined everything, threw in some new gear, and made the game fun again. I really didn't like T2 as much as I should have.

Random thoughts thrown together that I've been meaning to post... somewhere:

- New stormhammer for teh win. I love that your character has to load another. Can't just discspam everything.
- Grappler: best described by Marsman as "not as gimmicky as you'd think". Actually pretty useful to hang from certain areas to snipe.
- Burner isn't my style of weapon and I don't think I actually have a kill with it yet, but it's still an improvement over the Plasma gun of old.
- People's jetpacks go nuts when they die, and they fly around out of control. Unecessarily cool, big points for that one.
- Love the new sniper rifle. I was initially apprehensive about the ammo/energy thing, but it's really still an effective gun and I love it. The veins look really coon when they contract and open up depending on power level.
- Inventory station is great in that it serves many at once, and looks very cool with the spinning monitor.
- Rocket pod: absolutely useless, imo. The concept is fine but the missles need to track better.
- New packs are GREAT. Passive + active functions really make the difference.
- Supported skiing for teh win. I love the slidey effect on the boots, and the general speed you can build up. I never got why they nerfed skiing for T2.
- Deployables RULE. All incredibly useful, particularly the repairer. Usually gets overlooked and is very effective for right in the middle of your main room. Autofixes everything. I also like the multifix feature for this and the pack, btw.

Defenitely a buy for me.

[Ivan]

I just installed it. Will play tomorrow. I'm going to be if I can pull myself away from whoreing.

Is it possible to haX0r yet in this game? I was banned in a game for killing the admin and clan too much cause I supposedly have hax0r!!1! OMG U KILLED MEZ OMGS HAX0R!!! This is gonna turn into the CS community oh yippe.

[Infernus]

Step 1) Pick up enemy flag

Step 2) run around the map spamming "I am the rabbit! I am the rabbit!"

...works everytime in CTF battles...

[Kam]

It's not fair to just assume ALL of Tribes 3 will be like that. You just need to know what to look for it all. My entire clan transfered over together and we have our own server. We are only on it for about two hours a day, the rest of the time we are spread around. I have only been kicked once, and that was justified in my opinion. I had 67 kills and they werent nubs at all, they were probably just frustrated. Usually clan run servers are unfair because they protect their own, and they use TS2 if their smart. It is worth playing, that's for sure.

[Dharkbayne]

I had 67 kills

suuuuuure....

[Ivan]

suuuuuure....
Easy there cheetah... No need to turn this in to a forest fire.

Yes I'm sure the game is fun, but for me the community makes the game too. Like PS for example, I probably wouldn't have as much fun if it wasn't for you guys.

[Wraithlord]

yeah 67 kills in what? a 2 hour long game?

anyways, I love it, never played much tribes 1 or 2 so Im kind of newb to the whole thing, but I've learned how to use light armor and a burner VERY well, however I end up playing defense most of the game because of the nature of the burner. Having skill with the burner is something rare in the game so far, most people spam spin fusor or grenade launchers, with the occasional gatling gunner. Heavies base raping doesnt count as any measure of skill.

Not fair eh? I've heard that before... with what was it... oh yea T2... "its only a small part of the community"

*enter new server*
*get mortared before you know what happens*
"OMFG N00B!"

[Wraithlord]

oh and my favorite vehicle is the assualt ship, that thing is pure ownage if you know how to use it ^_^

[Ivan]

Sounds like you were playing with people that played T2 a lot. :) Although, HO (Heavy Offense) did take some skill in T2, I'm not sure what it's like in T:V yet.

Fly behind enemy base... enter through back door... mortar spam generator and spawns...

[EarlyDawn]

Oh, and I really like the Offense / Defense / Style system. Individual recognition for what you do... I just wish turrets that you placed gave Defensive points in some form... but then you get into the issue of turret TKing.

[Wraithlord]

yeah, with the maps right now, getting base raped is a huge worry on isle-ctf and sometimes cavern, at any rate the generator is way to vulnerable, and the base layout is way to vulnerable to that, I mean its almost as if its built for heavys to rape on isle..

What's wrong with that? I'm not the best player and my highest is in the 40s, on average I get about 20 though. I can see on a good day a player can get bout that much.

[Wraithlord]

*coughEMERALDcough*


emerald? are you kidding? I have never had a problem with that map, yet I hear people bitch about it all the time...emerald is the one without any veh except the rover, and with the ruins in the middle of it right? Isle is the big one with tanks

[Ivan]

Let's please keep this thread about the game and not people's skill levels.

[_-Gunslinger-_]

Nooo Im getting an error to DL it! Sigh oh well have to wait till tonight to DL it I guess. Fucking hell Tribes1 + Biowasteland for teh win!

[Wraithlord]

gunslinger your quotes in your sig are the flavor text from magic cards :D

[Kam]

Jeeez I guess I should not mention kills.... Tribes is much less community oriented than alot of online games. I like being able to just kill for an undetermined amount of time without having to deal with people on a forum.


P.S. Kills in the 60s isnt that high, there was one guy on the server with 70 something. And btw all the games I've played so far were only 15 min matches.

[Electrofreak]

I haven't played it yet. God I hope this game doesnt destroy PS :(

[Kam]

Lol, if Tribes 3 doesn't, then Halflife 2 will.

[Wraithlord]

never seen a 15 minute game with kills above 30, 70 kills in a 15 minute game means one kill every 12 seconds, unless somehow nobody is dealing with a spawn camping heavy with somehow unlimited ammo..there is no way that is possible

[Mr1337Duck]

Says not enough disk space free on drive C. I have 6 fucking gigs free, what more does it need?


Edit: 7 gigs now. It says not enough space on drive C:/. What kind of monster of a game takes more than 7 gigabytes?!

[MrPaul]

WoW is 11GB.
I'll try TVB later.

[Mr1337Duck]

Okay. I'm trying 13 gigs. This bastard better work!

[Mr1337Duck]

It worked

[Doop]

Damn this game and it's damn trea-damn-chery. I install it, at the very end it says something about not being able to unpack the files, make sure they're in a clear path, etc. SDfjskfsldfjlsdfjla;sdfjsl;fjksd;flkjsa;jslfjd;sfk sf;.

[Mr1337Duck]

aww... poor you. :-(


Played game, it pwns.

Dude... heavy assualt can attack from behind and completely deestate a base... that map is mortar heaven.

[Ivan]

hehe cool. I was great with the mortars back in my day. I was better in T1 than T2 with the mortar. I could mortar snipe in T1. That was fun. :lol:

[JetRaiden]

I :love: Tribes Vengeance

[Doop]

I :love: Tribes Vengeance

Why do you mock me?

[Kam]

60-70 kills in 15 mins is not hard at all. Go to there base in Heavy and wait till they are all loading out and then morter them. Repeat. Really, it's not that difficult. There were Tribes 2 games where people I was playing with had scores over a hundred in only 30 mins.

[Darksim]

it takes like 1/2 a sec to load out, just save your loadout as light inf then just run up and quickly mash SHIFT+Q to load that one.

[TheN00b]

Hell, I suck at the game, but I wub it anyway. Kewl graphics, innovation, and Mechwarrior/UT-style combat for teh win. But, I suck with the mortar; any tips for using it in general?

[Everay]

im playing this game, and im alot better at this one than i was at T2, dunno why, but the last match i played i was fuckin stomping around hitting people with spinfuser shots left and right.

[Kam]

Being good with the mortar requires you to be able to judge distance on the spot. You have to know exactly what angle to use at a certain distance and be able to employ that knowledge in seconds. It just takes practice. I got a 150 meter hit on a moving rover yesterday and blew it up. I love that gun. :love:

[Ivan]

In T1 I was insane with the mortar. I could hit people in mid air with it. In T2 I could only do it once in a while.
