Tribes is beneficial for your health.

In the last couple of days I've gone back to good ol' UT2k4, since I haven't played it in ages. I'm easily owning. Damn, I wish my computer was faster so I can record what I'm doing.

Nme flag carrier, 75 HP. Me, 15 HP, and a fully loaded flak cannon. Oh yeah. There is a crushed car in between us, leaning up. I use it as a ramp and jump on it, and time a front-dodge and double jump, just as he is jumping. Flak secondary fire. BOOM, MA, he rockets into the ground and I return the flag.

Anti-grav map, CTF, I have one sniper bullet left. Nme flag capper jumps onto a jump pad outside, goes really fast towards his base. Without even a second of realizing he was there, boom, I MA snipe him. He got maaaaaaaaaad. :)

3 guys coming after me, I turn around, launch a flak secondary, take two of them out. Then he starts firing at me with a shock rifle, and I of all weapons randomly get out an AVRIL (shoots freakin slow anti-vechular rockets). He double jumps in mid-air, I lead and time and right, launch the rocket, it hits him.

Minigun, halfway across the map, the Nme flag capper is about to cap, hes a little dot on my screen. I rip him up and kill him, teammate returns the flag.

Nme has a redeemer, me, a sniper rifle. He doesn't know that I even have him on my reticule, doesn't even know where I am. He has a buddy sniping next to him. He launches the deemer, just as he does, I shoot, aiming for him. Instead, it hits the missile. BOOM! I can't tell you how funny it was to watch that.

These past few days I've been pulling things off I never thought I could before. I wouldn't nessasarily call it the best time I've had in the game, Assault and Onslaught are 10 times as fun as VCTF, and my headset's not working right now. But damn... so much fun!

The more you play tribes, the more UT is a cakewalk. :)

Too bad I suck at the MP Pariah Demo (came out friday), as Byte would be able to tell you.

Gargh, I despise Halo and Pariah. Blargh.

wish i liked u2k4 more than 15 minutes a month.

a song by Alice in Chains....

Ooooooooh here come the Rooster! :)

UT2k4 is alittle too arcadish deathmatch and "twitchy" for me.

I thought it was "OOoooooooh they've come to snuff the rooster"....meaning they are commmin to getcha

yeah, i kinda know what you mean. i was playing a few rounds of MOHAA:Spearhead at a LAN party over the weekend. this one guy thought he was gonna be real good and then jumped off a balcony at me thinking he catch me by suprise, i killed him before he hit the ground...i heard him yell all the way upstairs. he then tryed it again and i MA'ed him with a grenade...more yelling. good times!

ps. i wish all the guys would buy/download tribes (any of them) but they wont even try it :cry:

yea, most friends I talk to think tribes is a circus 'the targets are like small dots and the weapons go too slow!'

heheh hell yah. Now my aim in other games is much better. I hit ma rockets all the time and people dont know what hit them.

Good times.

Uhm
Well dueling in Tribes 1 makes it fun to play Legends and MA people....

Triple MA's 4 teh win :D

I lost roughly 15kg of fat, sitting down playing tribes :S

I can't believe I actually spent time reading that.

Next time, post something useful. No one cares about your personal skillz or how leet you think you are.

because i lost track of time = forgot to eat

You're welcome.

Did you guys know that someone made a port of the Vengeance models over to Ut2k4? Also, that they ported Halo characters and vehicles to UT2k4 (very nicely I might add, but the banshee and ghost are way too spammy) and that there is a Halo total conversion mod team for UT2k4? Hah, neat.

I personally just think I invented one of the most addicting games I've ever played using a mutator combination. Its kinda like Tribes and Matrix put together.

Low-grav
Quad Jump
Unlimited Dodge (but doesn't reset the jump number, and gives you a bonus height of 64 units; I did these changes to balance the dodging out)
Dynamic Third Person with Jump Boots (No wings, jump boot height = 512 units, again, for balancing)
Arena Mode, using only the HotPepper Weapon from the WoE weapon set

Play that combination with almost every gametype (on big maps, like Moon Dragon, best map I've found for it so far) and I'm pretty positive you'll be satisfied. Quad jump with infinite wall dodges (and they don't count as jumps) helps you get tons of air and cover ground really quickly, not to mention the wall dodging looks super cool when you can do it anytime you want.

I'll make a video of this combination, mixed with some Tribes shots, more later on. I'll tell you now though, I don't plan on changing my active mutator list for a long time.

Look forward to seeing this. I hope I don't vomit perfusly for hours after watching it. Make me proud Roostboy!

Seriously man, at least from my perspective, it captures the adrenaline I get from playing Tribes. The aerial movement and lock-on ability makes it a whole lot like UC2 in ways.

I'll admit I suck at making movies, but the purpose would be just to get the general feel across.

Too bad Observer Mode doesn't work with these mutators in, the video would be a lot easier to make... but nah, I don't care.

PJ should try this combination out.
