Tribes: Ascend

[Kurik Lein]

Anyone else playing this? I just started but I am really enjoying it so far, really brings me back to the older Tribes games. While it is F2P it doesn't feel like they are trying to nickel and dime me I believe the majority of anything you can buy with real money you can get through the actual game. Everything is pretty cheap and the game is worth it at least so far it is. It's getting some high reviews from gaming sites as well.

I may try it out since I did like the original Tribes.

HAHAHA i totally read the title of this thread as "Tiberius Arrested" at quick glance and I was like, HOLY CRAP!? hahahaha I would give that game a try. I like mech games.

I'm pretty addicted to it right now, I would venture to say it's currently the best FPS available.

If I wasnt forced to say that shooter games suck, well...I might play it too!

if I didnt suck at shooters ... I would so be playing, I ESPECIALLY SUCK at "we ignore physics" shooters like unreal and this

I wouldn't say it ignores physics, there is a lot of velocity and momentum going on in the game and most of the weapons aren't hitscan which a lot of modern shooters rely on. You really have to lead what you are aiming at especially when you are moving at high speeds.

I simply meant any game with extreme vertical shifts. I can be well not decent but not horrible on any game without jumping, but a game like this I would never land a single shot.

Ah I see, for the most part there are close quarters on each map. For example each team has a generator which powers defenses and utilies and is targeted by players every match. There are people who go out of their way to attack it or defend it as it can affect the outcome of a match greatly. It's usually located in a building underground with hallways and ramps.
