Tribes ascend.
I am giving my last beta invite key to someone who wants it. just yell on this page. if it gets popular ill have to find a way to make the process random and fair, like making a deck of cards with peoples names, shuffling it and then drawing out the lucky winner if it comes to it.

I'd try it if all of my machines weren't running Ubuntu alone.
sure
but yeah, your right
This is Deflun
I am not deflun.
The cake is a lie.
that sounds like something deflun would say
this is something deathborn would say
That is something Deflun would also say.
That is something that Blnukem just said.
This is something Alviss would say - especially when he came back from 'Nam...
tl;dr: No, this isn't Tribes. Grinding + forced loadouts + micro-transactions = VERY BAD. It's a terrible insult to Tribes, and goes against everything Tribes was about. DO NOT PLAY unless you're sucker for giving people your money/time for half-assed games.
The gameplay feels like Tribes... That's about it... The loadouts crap is the game breaker for me. Not to mention... You have to grind to even get these loadouts... Bad enough you have to do this shit in every god damn game on the market as it is - and I'm tired of it...
I want to PLAY the god damn game, not spend hours to get a fancy kit or a gun that does the same shit as everything else, but with a different name tag slapped on it...
Whoever thought micro-transactions was a good idea for a FPS - ESPECIALLY TRIBES, is a total douchenozzle. They should just have given it a set price, cloned T2, maybe added some new content and game types, some modding/mapping tools, and it would be perfect.
Loadouts are the key, and they seriously fucked it up. I'm very disappointed. These half-assed unfinished modern games are really pissing me off, everything is about money... They're not even fun anymore...
Personally I feel cheated, and this is more than enough proof that games like Tribes and Quake (yes, I'm dragging Quake into the argument) will be gone forever. The only enjoyable game genre left is RTS, as FPS has gone to shit. And it's only a matter of time until RTS turns into crap as well. See C&C4, Dawn of War II, and SupCom2 for reference.
I'll pick Vengeance over this crap, any day. At least you didn't have to mindlessly grind for fuck knows how long to get a set of forced loadouts. Vengeance felt more like Tribes than this does, and this is coming from someone who absolutely hated Vengeance.
That load of steaming shit people call a map, is NOT Katabatic by any means. I can only assume you're trolling at this point.
