Ambush_Bug[DTM] 09-16-2003, 01:33 AM Just because I've done far too much reading in the Tribes universe...
...shouldn't the T:V GL be the exact same model as the T1 GL, which was the Imperial-designed Crader-Dudek Grenade Launcher? Backstory says the design hadn't changed for hundreds of years, so it would stand to reason that the T:V guys might be using the very first ones issued.
Besides, that neato little red lever that moved as each round was put into the barrel was far cooler than that funky 'twist-lock' mechanism on the T2 grenade launcher.

I do believe you are correct.
I could confirm this if I could find my history book from starsiege

Sorry, I'm busy.
Amadeus 09-16-2003, 08:22 AM Agreed, T1 grenade launchers look perfect.
{A} PR24 09-16-2003, 08:29 AM How could anything in T1 look perfect? The gfx sucked ass.
Amadeus 09-16-2003, 09:37 AM Of course we can afford to double the polygon count and the texture resolution to bring it up to a more detailed level, but I don't think there should be any particular changes in the model or the texture...

Yes, because your subjective opinion = fact :rolleyes:
lesser is more. Tribes 1 's "basic' graphics are simply easier to play than T2's. In addition, the game is playable with even the oldest, shittiest video card. :bananasex
commonsense 09-16-2003, 11:07 AM I don't care what they make the grenade launcher look like as long as it shoots grenades, and those grenades hurt people.

Invest in your box, lesser is not more. While Tribes 1 was the best game of its time, its time to realize that its time was 5 years ago.
|MrSniper|Nyx 09-16-2003, 11:29 AM As long as they make it look 500x better using the 1024x1024 textures and crap availible in Unreal, im all for it.
spydur 09-16-2003, 11:57 AM T2 grenade launcher stunk. Stick with the original.
borlaK 09-16-2003, 12:03 PM the way the gl in t1 jumps back like it's gonna knock you in the face is dumb, but I liked how the animation of that little clicker thing you described looked :)
{A} PR24 09-16-2003, 12:07 PM Yes, because your subjective opinion = fact :rolleyes:
So you think T1 looks better then todays video games?
Shinigami 09-16-2003, 12:13 PM The graphics didn't suck. They suck now. The game is almost 5 friggan years old.
As for the GL...
I don't care how it looks, but I much prefer the way it was in t1 over the way it was in t2.
KillerONE 09-16-2003, 02:27 PM I think we should be describing "concepts" vs saying I like the way T1 did "this" better.
I don't want T:V to be T1 or T2, I want it to be an awesome game that will bring in lots of gamers who love the freedome of movement, faced paced in depth playstyle that us tribers have loved for years.
That said, the Grenade launcher should use a projectile firing system that uses players velocity + projectile speed so that it can effective in chasing scenarios.
I could care less about how it animates.
It might even make sense to include a built-in rangefinder. :)
boschetaru 09-16-2003, 03:01 PM Keep the T1 GL...the one in the pic above...i dont like personally

It is truely fucking amazing how people keep saying " bring this back" you want T1? Go fucking play T1. You want T2? Go fucking play T2. T:V is not going to be T1 or T2 get that through your fucking heads.
