Tribes Back in Business As Persistent Shooter MMO

Looks cool; never played a Tribes game, might have to check it out. I tried Planetside for a bit, I really liked the concept but didn't like the feel of the game, so this looks cool to me. I have high hopes for Dust 514 as well

To be completely honest, I do not know. I was just making the comparison of Art/Graphic design, but I know how people here react to Halo...Balobo said:
...Skiing?
Anyway, this looks promising. Maybe they'll be able to make Tribes Tribes, since they didn't do too well making Global Agenda Tribes. Zing.

From the TribalWar Wiki: Skiing is the accumulation of speed through jumping on the downslope and jumping in conjunction with jetting on the upslope. It can be performed in any armor, though it is most forgiving in light armor. It's used primarily to traverse large distances quickly and gain momentum, but can also be used to gain altitude.RootbeerJello said:
Basically, its a physics exploit from Tribes 1 that was turned into a game mechanic in the later games.
Way to make a horrible Tribes MMO: create grinds where players need to "earn" certain weapons, armor, etc. This is where other FPS MMOs failed. Let's hope Hi-Rez Studios doesn't make the same mistake.
Exactly. A tribes MMO could be a success, but in order to do so they'll have to focus on the "persistent world" aspect of the game rather than the "level up your character through kills!" mechanic that so many other FPS games try to push.Atmos Duality said:
Australian developed FPS series that owned the shit out of Halo by doing everything that Halo did before Halo did. AND DOING IT BETTER, sort of. Halo does have better AI. Pick up the Tribes:Vengence demo to see why this game was so good. It's still around on the internet, somewhere.sooperman said:
If they ruin the tribes franchise with this silly level up nonsense I'll be very upset. FPS's are about your own skill, not the coolest gear.
That said I hope they include canyon crusade, and snowblind maps

Or better yet, just download Tribes 2, like I did a few weeks ago. The entire game was released for free.Isaac The Grape said:
I won't deny I prefer Quake 3 (though I suck at that game as well) but I'll pay attention to this title. If it isn't bogged down by too much MMO nonsense then it may be the game that finally persuades me to upgrade - I have a habit of playing arena shooters years after their conception when they are regarded as 'mostly dead' by their communities, but this may be an exception.
