Can weapon fire go right through it or no?

Kind of a stupid question considering that the answer is probably "yes", but hell, I want attention. Hi everybody!

dwarfvader mentioned a trick where you could grapple something out of bounds, so i'd say yes

can it not always be homosexual and bounce people back? Or is it stuck that way?

Good, good, now all they need is a George of the Jungle-style splatter animation when someone grapples something tall out of bounds and slams into the OOB wall (or any wall, for that matter)...screw ragdoll, now THERE'S a funny death.

Is the OOB effect and the bouncing in any of the vids released?

Yea, you can see col (or thrax) bounce off the ceiling in the arena map a few times.

Screw the jungle tree slam death, I wanna see someone grapple a tower at high speed near the boundry, bounce, tetherball down, and strangle themselves with the rope..

I really would have liked a Tribes 2 OOB system. I remember that map where the bases started opposite each other, in OOB, and the flags were in the middle of the map sort of, so once you grabbed that flag you couldn't go rearm unless there was a deployable inven station, which was really creative.

In T:V there are "forcefields" that you can pass through but they make you drop the flag, so this could still be done.

Or just have them keep boucing off the grid till they let go, taking a little damage each time.
