I hadn't heard about this; thanks for letting me know. It certainly looks interesting. I note they've thrown in a skiing mechanism, which is disappointing (it was an exploit eighteen years ago, and it's still and exploit now), but hardly surprising; I just hope they make the maps big enough to make it worthwhile- with the team sizes maxing out at sixteen, I'm not optimistic, but it's far from impossible.
Does Ascend still have many players, though? Me, I took one look at the pre-set loadouts and shook my head in disappointment, thinking back to the days of massive Shifter brawls that saw me laying out deployable radar blockers before heading out with a laser rifle, sniper rifle and railgun to blow the heads off of skiers from miles away. Good times, to be sure- but old times. I question how much of Tribes there's really left to kill.
