T1 pubs are alot of fun for me now, even if i suck. I really hope Base++ takes off, but for now, pubbing in T2 just isnt cutting it :\

I would say T2 was designed perfectly, but T2 was meant to be a bigger better T1, and it failed..

That's my input. No, I think you were hoping it would be a bigger, better T1.Originally said on any given day in TW
So, wouldn't more people play T2 if they made it more like T1?:ftard:

t2 fucking sucks

LOL, your joking right?? I have both T1 AND T2, T2 is FAR 2 over-rated for it's teamplay, using certain pack/medium armour you can defend the ENTIRE bas on not just 1, but ALL of the map's that come with the game

You must be awful l33t to defend the FF gens on Desiccator all by yourself. You must show me how it's done. :rolleyes:

I play T1 rather than T2 for one reason, I have more fun playing T1. If I gave you people specific reasons, you'd argue, but you can't argue with me on this, I enjoy playing T1 more. If you like T2, that's fine, but you won't see me, I'll be too busy having a good time.

it feels like you weigh 500 pounds on a planet with low gravity where the wind is always blowing 50 mph the opposite direction and by the time you reach the enemy base and try to kill one of the 18 turrets spinkled everywhere while being elfed from 80 feet away over a hill by 4 different people the disc you shot doesnt even go where its supposed to and by that time youve already gotten a UE and have to restart

I like T2, my clan is fun, all best friends, we hang out and joke around while rackin' up points. T1 was alot faster, and a bit more obscure. In T2 they kind of refined it to what T1 was supposed to be at its core, and in that change, it became something very different. Not bad, just a change.

I think natural has a few points but lacks some...

Tribes 1 became soo repetitive. It was...

Who can HO the same routes more consistently
Who could start the same capping routes consistently
" The HO/cappers are coming from there......"

There are also other things like how good an individual person could Mid-air disk, and mine disk....

But other than that it became too repetitive. A properly executed route even in a match could leave the LD clueless. Where is the teamwork in a good route? Often even in pubs no one really escorts.

Now on the other hand... the way T2 is shaping out (with help from z0dd and Z0D) is:

Individual skill counts a lot more.
HO - Capping is a hell of a lot easier
|||The turrets aren't overpowered... T1 turrets were underpowered. NO one respected T1 turrets.. a remote was disabled with 1 disk and destroyed with 2.|||
Everything is faster...
ELF is shortened, but then again T2 made it worth using
|||The shocklance replaces the mine-disk.. The SL actually takes skill to use unlike mine disking a heavy. Not everyone can mid-air lance a heavy and it becomes harder with the skill level of the HO|||
HO in T1 blew everything up while u were blowing them up.

As far as ladder play T2 requires more Coordination and better teamwork. It requires more skill because u can't just disk jump anywhere. T1 became predictable to the point where you knew what the enemy was doing. You knew the plan now it was a battle of which team could stop it best. T2 shows which team can adjust to the other teams gameplay. T2 allows for numerous amounts of strats... Anywhere from blind tank spam on Archipelago to winning most vehicle maps by owning the skies. T2 requires more skill in more positions. You can't just watch some demos and pickup in a few days. It is a game where you have to find your position and master it.

There are the downfalls to t2 such as 16man ctf multiple UE's. There was no browser in T1 so there's nothing to complain about there. Horrible built-in IRC. But with base++ things are definately looking towards a positive direction on most all maps. TWL will be supporting it and it will be 12man... which isn't much different from 10man.

As far as pubs... you can usually tell the good pubs from the bad pubs... Any pub that allows aliases is obviously a newbie pub. 5150, Vanguard Las Vegas, and Nutshot Competition are great places to play.

And for all those who bitch about sucky ass pubs... All I have to say is that they happen. In both games I have experienced being on a team that has been shutout\capped out. ITs more appparent in t2 because usually if you lose that bad.... Your gens turrets and everything else is down, whereas in T1 u may have 3 l33t LD and 2 cappers owning. I prolly missed something, but I'm not scrolling up. Base++ isnt going to bring back Teams like SES and 5150 (well hopefully) but to the others that have been patient, it will last until legends

shut up

t2 is gay

T2 is dead.

Well geez thanks for bumping this blast from the past all the way to the front page to tell us that, be a man and use your real nick next time.

T2 is crap, here's why: I (after 3 months of playing t2 LD) could take on a whole opposing team's offence alone. Snipe em on the way in, disc em on the flag, they moved so slow it was easy as fuck. More than one comes in at a time? Disc the one who takes the flag, chase, kill, return and kill the other one. Game was too easy. The only thing that made it challenging was the horrible FPS and UE's.

warmahcine - wow ur l33t stfu

that is a bunch of crap vs a competent team
