It's not that bad, it's just not Tribes.

I've heard it's pretty barren on features right now. Well, at least they have jetpacks.

so does every mod for every major fps out there :p:

the game sucks anyway... you're not missing much

It doesn't suck its just not Tribes. The is the biggest thing that people need to realize is obviously the devs are trying to make a new game. The first build they released was iffy at first, took some time to get used to but now its a blast I think. They only have about 4 classes right now but soon there will be 8 specialist classes implemented and its going to be even more fun.

It's in beta, give it time. Plus with a dev volunteering his time to help code physics and such to create a Tribes Mod for it, I think we will see some good things from Legions..

I'm still under the impression that mod support will be created by the community, if one ever exists. I don't see IA / GG unlocking the scripts at this point, as it would compromise the interface/platform. ( which wouldn't make sense, because it's extremely easy to bypass the browser require b.s. )

so, IA / GG, RELEASE THE SCRIPT IN PLAINTEXT FORMAT!

I believe that once Open beta starts scripts are going to be allowed, if I recall correctly.. I spoke to a dev about this. I could be wrong though. PM me and tell me about bypassing the browser... I hadn't heard of this.

the idea of running it through a browser is superficial to begin with... anyone with a half a brain knows its no different than any installed game except when a game is windowed its forced into a browser frame view instead of a stand alone window... full screen is no different.

Tell me how you think InstantAction will be capable of supporting, say, a new gametype. The interface doesn't have to support it, but then, who's going to know that your server is hosting TribesMod?

Scripting is supported right now, it's the lack of the plain-text scripts that makes it difficult, not impossible, to do anything worthwhile.

With nofix in the beta I dont have to post so much. I wish Zod were in the beta (maybe he is?) to help these guys hash out the physics. Thats really a super important aspect of any Tribes like game for me. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Wouldn't then the server browser need to be built into Legions instead of IA? But yeah, more information about servers would be nice.

If InstantAction, and GarageGames plans on releasing plain-text scripts, and it's not restricted to client-side scripts, then, their join-game / host-game interface needs an extreme overhaul.

Currently, they aren't supporting it, and they certainly aren't 'beta' testing it, so I find it extremely unlikely that it will ever happen. I mean, the current interface is so primitive, it lacks even the fundamental stuff like latency, map, etc. It's a joke, to be honest.

A complex game with a primitive interface ... doesn't make much sense.

Zod already said he'd be into modding it, I can wait till then if I have to. ;)

Like NoFix said, they haven't really released any cleartext for people to start modding anyways.

Is there a site for this game or any video posted anywhere? Sorry I'm just reading this post and this sounds interesting. I haven't played a computer game since T2, lol
