Well, the press was let loose tonight, talking about closed beta and what not, so we have a bunch of new info for you.<p><A HREF="http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/tribes-vengeance/531442p1.html?fromint=1">Gamespy's Preview</a><p><a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/531/531446p1.html">IGN's Preview</A><p><blockquote class=p>When the maps aren't being used as killing fields, they're actually pretty nice to look at as well. Grass sways in the wind, reflection maps on the water mirror all the action in real time and the game runs well at highest detail on a 2GHz machine with a 9700 Pro. Given the fact that this is beta code, we expect performance will be even better in the final.<p>The only game type we've been able to play so far is Capture the Flag. At the end of the match -- or during the match if you care to check while you're playing -- you can see various stats such as kills, team kills, highest sustained speed, head shots, midair discs, kills defending flag, generators repaired, sensors destroyed and the like.</blockquote><p>That's two new previews, so far. I'm sure there is much more to come. Check out the screenshots on both <A HREF="http://www.gamespy.com">Gamespy</A> and <a href=http://pc.ign.com>IGN</a> - Fresh shots straight from the closed beta, and there are dozens of them.
