It seems like half the time this crap is going on.
The other half it's happening to the other team.

you guys got owned!










j/k I agree

You know, if my memory serves me they promised that the bases would be bigger and spacious, as befits an army of guys with JETPACKS... :P

AM I the only person who thinks the maps (and bases in particular) seem, a bit... I dunno... CRAMPED? :shrug:

the bases are huge. You'll see the bases in the SP campaign.

What we have are outposts ;)

true, they're cramped and don't make use of the ability that players have a jetpack! How about putting some invs on raised platforms...how about requireing the player to jet straight up to get to the main area of the base.... The bases should resemble the underground bases in minotaur...remember how you actually had to jetpack up to get to the platforms?

A-FEKKING-MEN!!!

This is one area I truly feel the COMMUNITY will come through for the game. We saw a whole bunch of pretty creative maps so far, hopefully they'll come up with more for this one (since the maps we've gotten dont hold much promise IMHO)

lmfao. that movie is so inspiring! think i'll quit capping/start raping :D

At least they didnt spam from behind too...

More rewarding for sure. Step sideways, fire mortar, step back, kill 3 enemies. Rinse, repeat.

use the backdoor

use the backdoor
Or switch teams to a larger base?

The single really unfortunate part of T:V. I know people have other serious gripes, but this one was just kind of a let down. I really enjoy T:V especially with the new changes, it seems to help fit the smaller scale of this game. Disappointed in that regard, but I can get over it, I just hope the game will provide the replay value akin to the tribes franchise.

Kinda interesting. the maps with big bases usually had indoor flags which were easily defensible. People didn't like that.

so IG gave us bases about the size of Rain Dance and Roller Coaster's base, and people still don't like it.

What do you want? Broadside with the flag on top of the base? Then the gens are too easily defended and you mightas well just put a forcefield to keep the enemy out.

I liked some of the bigger bases myself, but the community as a whole can't seem to make up it's mind on a lot of these things.

Balanced bases would be a decent start, but a few outside spawns would be a good temporary fix without redesigning the bases. Spawning everyone on one team in one place is a terrible idea, and only encourages raping.

I realize there's no time to fix it now, but for the first patch would be nice.

Yeah, I have nothing against your plea for an alternate spawning location Plas. Just confused by the people who say they think the small bases are the most disappointing thing about Vengeance.

edit: btw, love the TKer at end of vid ;)

I have nothing against small bases. Some of the best times I've had were in small maps in T1.

But for god sake you don't spawn everyone in the same place. That only encourages raping.

Imagine everyone spawning inside the base on DX, or even inside the flag base, and the smaller outdoor base.

Even larger maps had outdoor spawns, Scarabrae was probably the only map with all spawns on, or in the base.

Outdoor spawns in maps like broadside forced people to play different roles, and learn not to be dependant on inventory stations. It's probably why Broadside was such a popular map.

Unless spawn points are varied, it will very be hard for new players to enjoy T:V enough to buy.

use the backdoor

Use backdoor, go around, kill HO while others get base up. Doesnt seem too hard to me.

2 HO's at the front door with portable inventory, and one at rear with burner and a turret...

I don't get it. Why couldn't you have ran out the back? Was that blocked too?
