I hate to make the argument from authority here, but Stork is one of the best players T1 and T2 have ever had. This guy understands every single subtle nuance of the game, and seeing as how he never swore off one in favor of the other, and instead became one of the best at both (and probably would have become one of the best at T:V, if it didn't die), it can be trusted that he knows what a Tribes game is.So tired of this statement/similar statements. No one agree on what a real Tribes game is. The problem occurred the second T2 was released, and since then the identity of Tribes has only become more diverse.
It is similar to the argument of what is moral, in a world where there is no moral absolute when you pull together all cultures.
I think a real Tribes game should have jump based skiing, not this frictionless cushion crap. But since the last two Tribes games, and Legions all used it.
It's not 1998 anymore. Deal with it. I know, I miss it too.
Did you tell him that it was basically a divide by zero trig error in Darkstar/V12/Torque and was eventually fixed by Ben Garney (and never backported)?
Last two?
let us all join hands and embrace t:a together with our dicks floppy and precumming

A real tribes game, you know, your generator goes down and have to repair it to get it back up. you spawn in light with 3 weapons and have to make it an inventory to acquire other weapons/armor types/deployables/etc. light has 3 weapons/med 4/heavy 5. you can carry a disc launcher/chaingun/sniper rifle at the same time. you know...the ACTUAL GAME of Tribes that was featured in t1/t2/tv.
this:
There are a lot of retarded tribes fans out there. A lot of them are on this forum. Thats why "people can't agree on what a real Tribes game is." Many of them simply do not understand the competitive side of Tribes gaming. They were happy to spam mortars @ the tower on Snowblind. They loved Broadside and Scarabae. Tribes was always too much fun...Many people never learned the competitive side because they just had fun. Nothing wrong with that at all. But they have no clue just how deep and intricate the game of tribes is. This is probably what the "tribes vets" on the T:A dev team are like.
i have a theory that T:A will be a bigger hit than t2 and t:v because those who didn't like t2 and t:v just went back to t1 or t2 when t:v came out (although back to a dying community).
whether the above statement is true or not, doesn't take away from my real point, which is.......both t1, t2, and t:v are dead, and have been dead for a while. And everyone is so desperate to rekindle their gay little feelings they had when they played their special game (including myself), that they're going to play it in search for the new golden days. Meaning that, they got the t1 die hards, the t2 die hards, and the t:v try hards by the balls.
All this scrutinizing and criticizing is just fear that they won't enjoy T:A as much as the predecessors - but when it comes out, they're going to play...and play....and play....to forcefully find that golden era again.
Point is. it's a new game, you're 10 years older, it's childhood nostalgia, let it go bro.
let it go bro
P.S. my goal is to be the greatest LD in T:A (like i was in t2c and t:v) and retire...with probably a map named after me.
