ive been reading these forums for a few years and i think now is the time for me to join and point my views out about tv. i know most here are t1 fans and they dont like t2 but i think over time as seen over these past few weeks more and more t2 players are signing up here, posting there views, the reason well some vu representatives have been posting here plus t2 players are scattered over so many different forums thats why theres a lack of t2 posts and the love you guys have for us :wave:
you must read link in post 7
well as the name says it i dont like it you can flame me all you want but i just dont like it and i have the same right to post and argue my points as you have.
Some people say its like ut with jet packs and skiing and in part they are right, the vehicles seem almost the same in fact are the same as ut.
The biggest aspect that is dislike is the vehicles yes i agree they are too much like ut, tank pod the rover( the engine sounds in the rover are so crap lol, it
Sounds like when your on the toilet having multiply droplets hitting the water) , the bomber in tv reminds me of that big tank in ut( that would open up and unleash that massive beam), the manned side guns on that massive tank seem ever so similar too the bomber side guns, i just wished vehicles were the same as t2 ------> some of you are saying well its a different game or there should be new things in it yes i agree but in other things.
when they say tv was a few hundred years before t1 then why does all the vehicles seem to be more advanced that t1 and t2?
They should have made a vehicle like the grav cycle for lights.
the pod is supposed to be the shrike, the shrike was nice fast and fun to play and cap the flag, the pod i hate just made the game play slow, i just think the mixture of slow and fast game play was a good idea but they didn’t get the right mixture.
the whole invent in tv is slow and rubbish, having to pick up mines and turrets from other invent stations is a joke they should have used 1 base invent station for all and kept the way of selection like t2.
mines lol what a joke you have to go to an invent and select a mine, the mine is as big as a damn turret you can spot it miles away plus not being able to mine+disk or nad=kill, they should have kept the mines in the load out list and load out should be much easier and faster.
nads well they should have lots of different mines like concussion nads which i used all the time i do miss them and the flash nads.
the browser system on t2 was great best browser system ive seen you could mail your clan mates and see what players and how many are in that clan that should have been a must have in tv very original.
the man turrets in tv the same as in ut, they should have kept the base turrets auto or able to log in and use them like in t2 and all barrels to be attached ( i really liked the aa turrets).
they should have kept shocklance and elf gun they were great for defending the and fun to play with. not only that but the elf gun was such a must have weapon elf +mine +nad =gen down. vu thought that the elf was useless shows you that they really never played tribes.
taking away the energy linked too shields jetpack etc.. was a mistake, it was fun learning to master and use then in the right order.
ski on tv well easy to use you can even ski with out moving.
taking away satchel charge jammer pack etc.. was a mistake they were also fun too use.
taking away the becons to use to spam the flags etc..
just having a 3 packs was a mistake
i used deplyable sensors and motion sensors a lot.
when i played the beta the flag was a bit different it would almost drop out of the sky with no forward momentum the fun part in returning the flag was spinfusing the flag and watching every1 running around trying to grab it, it make game play even better and fun.
well the spawn points in tv are the same as in ut and other games where u could select the point too spawn, the teleport system the same as ut, the spawning of vehicles the same as ut. the buy system was so much better, they should have kept it.
the graphics look very good but childish, it some how reminds me of n64 graphics, not the playstation graphics.
the map limits <----- like ut and other games
t1 and t2 more skill needed, tv less skill leads too repetative monotonous game play,really there’s not much to do in tv as people say you play it for 20 min then put it away that says it all.
the way the bases are design stinks.
modding for tv people would need to dl that mod other wise it would not be listed on the filter meaning fewer players playing that mod thus quicker death of that mod unless you knew the forums and where too down load that mod, the tribes way of modding was good , n00bs would just join a mod thinking its the original game and say wow. moding might be easier but whats the point if its not accessible look at ut mods.
some maps with switches in the middle omg great fun when trying to take them over not too be seen on tv.
from what ive seem vu should have expanded on t2 what tv has done is fragment the tribes community like what happened with t1 and t2. if they used t2 as the basis and added to that, they would have all the t2 players some t1 players and some new players as most are sick of the quake and ut game play.
most of the great points and items of tribes have gone in favour of more mainstream games that were about 2 years ago. personally i think if t2 was relased with an upgraded torque engine with better graphics, a few changes like auto down load of maps,being able to interact with bases like blow up base walls etc maybe have extra armour like engineer to rebuild, patch up the base and different, more imaginative packs, it would hit number1, really there’s not much to do in tv as people say you play it for 20 min then put it away.
another point serria should have said use the dynamix engine and update it ,why well the ut engine has so many flaws in the cheating department, really the only cheat in tribes was happymod and to me well it didnt really affect me, with ut threes aimbot speed hack etc...
and thats why some people relate it too UT, as some of my points state. some say its good that tv is different from t1 or t2 but is it really good thats its so different? the answer well look at the amount of players that are on the servers i remem ber when t1 and t2 came out there was 10 times the amount in the 1st 2 weeks.
ps i wonder how may players in tv play ut? and how many people play tribes 1and 2 play ut, that now play tv and how many players thats only play t1 or 2 play tv.
my guess it that the people who only play t1 and t2 dont play tv and half the people that play both ut and t1 or t2 play tv.
oh btw watch out for new members posting great posts about tv and telling people to buy the game some1 on another forum caught the guy out he actually worked for irrational think he was 1 of the graphic artists.
