Title: Tribes: Ascend
Post by: Gladius on January 19, 2012 05:15 PM
Gameplay Videos -Tribes: Ascend Gameplay Movie 6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnXAJN_jY0k#ws)

Best new FPS? It certainly appears so!

Why you should play it:

-Great graphics, sound and maps
-Lightning-paced gameplay with skiing, jetpacks, ground/air vehicles and a variety of classes, perks and weapons (no sniper rifles as far as I've seen THANK GOD)
-Newest entry in a long-running, highly-acclaimed series that was shamelessly plagiarized by more successful ones (naming no names but you can guess)

You can gain beta access by liking the game on facebook or heading over to https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/ (https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/) and paying 25 currency for a VIP account, which will net you some benefits like 3000 starting gold for unlocks. I assume plenty of you folks have good taste, so I expect to see you online soon!

Excellent! Be sure to add your name to the thread so we can add you. Me and Sinitron's in-game names are the same as our ones here, but I may compile a list.

Sadly the game doesn't support in-game messaging yet since it's only a beta, but you can still join your friends' games. As of now there are no custom servers yet, either. Perhaps we could set up an official TBA server when the game is released?

Got into the beta last week, even though I didn't register hah. Probably because I played Global Agenda, which is by the same company.

Anyways I can confirm that it's a lot of fun, kind of reminds me of unreal tournament, but not that much I guess... it's pretty unique. My ingame name is cipherr if I'm not mistaken, but chances are I won't really be on much anyways, too busy

It uses the Unreal Tournament 3 engine, so yeah it has a few similarities, though Tribes is by far a better game.

my internet didn't crap out, the client kept going irresponsive after a while. Restarting it fixed it though and I played a few games; fucking awesome game i must say. Soldier ftw.

Post by: Sinitron on January 20, 2012 09:13 PM
yeah soldier is a nice bread and butter class though the pistol kind of sucks so the ranger is overall more well rounded since both the assault rifle and grenade launcher are decently effective

medium armor is generally the best

you can't delete people from your friendlist AHH

e. i prefer the soldier cause the pistol is actually stronger than the assault rifle + it's by far easier to hit things with it. (It's stronger if you aren't miles away, that is)

also with the soldier, you can use your main weapon to shoot on to the ground where your enemy is going to be in a few seconds. For the other class, that's not really the case because the projectile of the secondary weapon explodes mid-air.

https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/ (https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/)

while i've never played any of the original tribes games, i can safely say i'm pretty psyched for this. it's currently being made by Hi-Rez studios, makers of the f2p mmo global agenda. really fast-paced, freedom of movement, huge variety of weapons, oh, and did i mention it's free to play?

so yeah. it's currently in open beta, and is expected to be released sometime this year. anyone else playing this/heard about it?

Looks pretty cool actually. Must be a graphically intense game though, so my PC probably can't handle it. :<
