OFN?-search is down didn't see it anywhere.

Here is a scan of the 2 page article:
[ADMIN EDIT]
I removed the links to the pages. Sorry but in the past Sierra/VU have asked us to not allow this. Go buy the mag, increased sales means more people interested in T:V means more coverage of the game means more sales means...well it makes Sierra feel all tingly.

Interesting information about the "pod" vehicle.

K, Cliff Notes:

-61% Complete
-Three gametypes mentioned: CTF, Ball, and Rabbit
-Two vehicles mentioned: Rover and "Pod" (the one you see in the pics). A small, single-person scout craft which flys and goes underwater.
-You will play as the assassin seen in the concept art in one of the missions.
-New development tool created by Irraltional called TribesPlay will be released with the game. It allows object oriented mapping, instantly constructable hybrid and regular maps.

Thoughts:

-The Pod looks cool in the first pic, dumb in the second (lacking fire and smoke from what look like its jet points).
-Interested to know if Ball is Bombing Run done right. It's probably TR2 redone and is what is play in those arenas we have seen.
-Best article as far as new info goes yet, and the screen on the cover page is :o.

I can pre-emptively tell you that you're gonna be asked to take that down.

It looks like they got pixel shaded water in there now :cool:

I believe that that thing is the pod vehicle described in the article. It looks pod shaped. :)

Edit:
I thought we were not allowed to scan pics from magazines but people scanned pics of the Computer Games article on tribes and the admins didn't seem to care. :shrug:

Those HUDs are fugly..

:signed:

Ohh, I just noticed, one of those pics is from inside a heavy (or at least it looks like the same weapon we have seen the heavy using in some other screens).

i did not know that...

- the rocket pods are manually guided by crosshair
- vehicle spawn pads are invincible

is this nfn?

why is there no talk about the new flying vehicle

i mean, cmon

this should be a 20 page thread

Thats all OFN. We were told that the rocketpod would be guided by mouse when it was released. The vehicle thing has also been known for a long time.

This is the ultimate nerf, how can i be taken seriously when I fly a "pod". Please be open to a name change heh. Visually the game looks great.

I dont really like the look of the pod. I was hoping for something sleeker and faster looking and the name pod sounds kinda lame for a vehicle.

The pod is the biggest bit of new information. Unfortunately, we don't know what the hell the pod actually does, except fly and possibly go under water.

In the first pic it kind of looks like a futuristic vehicle designed to wash windows and in the second pic it looks like that robot from the movie black hole. If only it had some semblance of a vehicle that flew through the air.

Just a few things... the hud is kinda ugly with the pics of guns... maybe 2 variants 1 with pictures of guns 2nd with more t2/t1 symbol style....

btw i know its only 61%..

also the pod is just a placeholder name I guess, thats what it said in article.

Vir - I frankly believe that we have no idea what the pod does or how it flies. I bet it'll have nice animations when we finally see it though.

The pod looks like something Dr. Robotnik (bad guy from Sonic the Hedgehog) would use.

:rofl:

I want to make a mutator that causes the dead to explode and release tiny hopping animals.

Not arguining what it does, so save me the rush to defense.
