not only that, it looks like the beta is being disabled in favor of the MP demo, i cannot play beta now for more then 10 seconds w/o a hard crash. before it was ok to run for hours......this happened all of a sudden sunday night...
 
Hate to sound like a Tribes 1/2 fan , even though i am, but T:V is basically UT2k4 with jetpacks. Tribes 2 is a far better game overall than T:V and Tribes 1 as well. Its annoying that everyone will play this game saying that T2 & 1 sucked and that'll mean that the T2 servers will die a little more :(.

Give me massive levels with faster discs anyday over speed-packs and shield-capping.
 
it doesnt seem to work for me, must be the whole MP demo thing that somebody allready said, thanks anyways
 
Welcome to last month.

I play it everyday and have been since the day it came out for FP subscribers. I hate the inventory freeze though, I will kill them if it is not fixed in the retail version.

I hate myself that I've had the game since FP allowed subscribers to download it and, have not played it yet. Even have the SP version from VU.

I thought Tribes 2 was given a bad rap intentionally because, I still think there was a whole conspiracy behind Dynamix being canned soon after release. I dunno...that whole situation just looked bad. However, I thought T2 was a good game.

I loved T1 during the Renegades 1.3 ver. mod.
 
When I played T:V, I thought it felt more likeT1 then T2 did. T2's map ruined the game for me, they were all covered in fog and just way to hilly. I loved T1, huge smooth maps.

The funny thing is, T2 is now being seen as something great in comparison to T:V because they made T:V very noobie friendly. (these are the same people who have been saying T2 was the worst game ever). I miss a lot of the stuff from Tribes 2 especially the targeting lazer and the homing beacon but overall, I think it is equivelent if not better. The action is faster and deployables don't weigh 5x what the mech weighs. I sometimes wish there could be rocket launches that lock on. Some of the air vehicles can be hard to take down and can cause a ton of damage.

See I always thought that would be sweet too. Thought the rocket launcher from Half-Life would be a nice addition. Whatever you point the laser at, thats what its guided to. Or, even using the whatchamacallit "laser pointer/distance finder" (used for judging mortar attacks) thing to use as a lock on laser but, that would require two people.

T2 has nothing on T1. If you played T1 in its prime, you would know that.

Saying T:V is UT with jetpacks is pretty ignorant. Its basically the same game it has always been, vehicles, large maps, and jetpacks. And it was out before the original UT.
 
Not being a huge T1 or T2 fan, I enjoyed the little MP open beta.

Also, I didn't see how it was "UT2k4 with jetpacks"

To me, it seemed more like "T2 with a grapple" (and worse gameplay).

Maybe since I'm not a big FPS guy, and never played a huge amount of T2, I couldn't see the subtle (or not) differences in the games.

The fact that the maps were smaller (and some really small) made it seem much less like Tribes. Maybe this is why you're associating it with UT2k4, hmm?

edit: I couldn't tell what weapons were new to the game. The "flame ball" gun, I guess. I don't remember it from T2 (or UT). Maybe it's a combination of the small maps and more "close quarters combat" that made it feel more like UT, hmm?
