so i guess the sheild pack's active ability is to push people near you away from you.No, that's not a pack. The buckler is a weapon. It's equal parts shield, hand to hand knockback weapon, and boomerang. It is the medium exclusive weapon, and perhaps the coolest weapon in the game.

Hm... Medium blocker takes out HoF. Light capper comes in behind and bounces out.

kp calls tribes slow in that article :O :O :OTribes and Tribes 2 are slow from an acceleration point of view. Run speed is slow, ability to change directions is slow, etc. As I've said before it's the difference between top speed and quickness. Other games have quickness, tribes has only a tremendous top speed. Some of the changes we've made address the lack of quickness.

Frisbee-o'-death disc that boomerangs back to you wtf? When did they decide to turn my Disk launcher into a childs toy.Not the spinfuser. See my post on the Buckler above.

based on all the other seeming errors in the article i'm going to stand by my guess for the time being.Again, buckler vs Shield pack. The shield pack's passive ability is to reduce a bit of damage (say about 20%). The active ability is to reduce a lot of damage (just like the old pack). So even if you forget to turn it on it does something for you.

UT shieldgun rocks; this sounds similar. Since it is medium only this brings up an interesting question. If the shieldpack is in T:V then mediums can get double shielding. If the SP is not in T:V then only the medium can get some form of shielding. (Assuming there are no other devices that give shielding.)

If the SP is not in T:V then Two posts above yours...

Ok ok, so let me get this straight, the buckler is a weapon you throw, not fire?

Does it do damage to people if they run into it, or does it just bounce them off?

<Janos_Audron> so
<Janos_Audron> suppose a heavy armored fatass
<Janos_Audron> with a shield pack and hand shield
<Janos_Audron> how the hell you gonna kill it
<flowen> with your grappling hook/knife combo ofcourse

:lol:

Heavy can't use the buckler haggis. and you'd get rid of them by grappling them then jumping in a vehicle and driving off :)

I wonder if that would work... back in a second...

:( nope. Can't hook and run. But a clever alternate disk jump does wonders for hauling a heavy off of whatever they're standing on. Hook, fly over, disk their feet, and keep going and a light can pull a heavy right up into the air. WIthout the disk you can only pull them up a few feet before you come slamming back down, but you can drag them around a bit before they figure out what the hell is going on.

good way to clear a hof... give him a parasailing ride.

I can see it now...

T:V Tractor pulls with a dozen Heavies grappled together and a Rover...

:lol:

So now we have two Frisbee weapons?

Can we have an Ultimate Frisbee mod? Ultimate frisbee is the f.ucking $hit.

Btw, you don't mean speed, you mean agility.

rofl

>.< This is Janos Audron

i just want to know how much protection an active shield pack and hand shield combo would provide.....give me a percentage at least :P or a good guess
