Tips please.

vert, dont try to learn how to play like a baser.
we should be teaching them how to play like us ;)

camper (LO) should always be on camp or pressure enemy home so they can not pass with the enemy capper. at no point should LO be escorting, once you have cleared and your capper is away with enemy flag you should go back to killing enemy home player. its the other cappers job to help with enemy flag, not yours.
unless you are running 2 chaser/1 capper instead of 2 capper/1chaser. if you have 2 chasers then obviously you would need to help the 1 capper since no one else would be able to help past the 50 since your home would be at.... well home, duh lol. if you only have 1 chaser then you would need to help kill the home so the enemy capper cant get off a pass and your chaser will get the easy returns.

simple logic, but base players still havent figured this out in the past 14 years. hence, ren > base
LO escort = llama

i always laugh when i see the LO pick up the flag from the carrier who just died then immediately get mowed down as well. wtf did you think would happen? you're still traveling in the same direction as your capper was that just died. rofl
thats why in ren, we respawn and fly at the capper for a pass - not a pick up the flag from a dead body on the ground where potential nade/disc spam is about to rock your world like it did your capper - going in the opposite direction just makes more sense, plus its easier to pass in the air than to pick something up off the ground.
oh and, DONT SUICIDE PASS, HIT THE DROP FLAG BUTTON TO PASS, AND THEN TRY TO TAKE OUT AS MANY CHASERS AS YOU CAN B4 THEY GET OUT OF SHOOTING RANGE. THEN RESPAWN AND HELP THE DUDE WHO JUST SAVED YOUR ASS, DONT LEAVE HIM HANGING OUT TO DRY!!!!!!
silly llamas

playing rigid @ any time vs ppl who are better than you and who play relative and adaptable to what is happening in game will make u lose points unless ur team has some kind of stack like killing superiority etc


always camping never escorting
or not running routes as lo etc etc there r tons of these rules that will just fuck u over if u follow them blindly

sometimes the only way to capitalize or offset a bad play is to do something counter intuitive

ren has way more team play than base, especially back in the armor days. if you came across a base with full D, there is no bbbbbbbbb gg. its all teamwork and youre lucky if you win the map 1-0. especially on CoN, that map was brutal in armor matches.

out of the 7 official base vs ren maps played over the past 14 years, its 6-1 ren. 5 maps played in base and 2 maps played in ren.
at least you guys got one win in your own mod. rofl
keep in mind i was inactive 2004-2010, so i dont know what happened in during that time and cant speak for that. but as far as the games in 99,2001, and 2010 - not much improvement from the base community

:lol: 'official base vs ren' :lol:

:lol: ren has way more team play :lol:

:lol: hey guys you convert .wav to .ogg by renaming the ending to .ogg :lol:

goddamn PuC you're retarded
 
:lol: 'official base vs ren' :lol:

:lol: ren has way more team play :lol:

:lol: hey guys you convert .wav to .ogg by renaming the ending to .ogg :lol:

goddamn PuC you're retarded

official base vs ren - yep

ren has way more team play - yep

and best yet,

"hey guys you convert .wav to .ogg by renaming the ending to .ogg"

thing with the ogg > wav is the filetype wasnt changed or converted, just the extension on it was just renamed.

your avi > h264 issue has to deal with converting the file to make it useable, its not as simple as changing the filetype extension. you'll need a program for that. probably find one for free or even does it for you w/upload - if you look.

gotta love quoting myself for the win


GFG FAGGOT RETARD!
now come get your ass handed to you by a ren player in the com server
"best protect yo neck" cuz im comin for it!
 
.wav isn't the same thing as .ogg, ogg has variable levels of compression and bitrates, .wav is uncompressed

programs will play .wav renamed to .ogg because it's just seeing no compression and reading it as a .wav

it's like saying 'hey my mp3 player can play this .ogg file - well its an .mp3 that i just renamed to .ogg but hey it's playing .ogg!"
 
hey guys i renamed all my .wav files to .ogg because tribes can't play .wav anymore

except it can cause it does

:rofl:
 
lol, renegades

wasn't that the mod where i could llama trap u noobs with force fields at inv stations that u guys took about 5 minutes at circa 1999-2000?
 
Damn, this is like some blood/crypt rivalry. You base guys will never understand renspawn unless you play it for a while - it is actually a very competitive, fast mod. The only technical differences between renspawn and baseLT is that renspawn has medium armor and boosts. You may think that the boosts are so pussy, but you don't understand that it isn't really that much of a difference from base because of the medium armor. It's easier to body block cappers and MA. And it's not like only the cappers have boosts.


Base has been harder for me to get good at than renspawn. It was A LOT easier for me to get good at the positions in renspawn moving from baseLT to renspawn. Now that I'm trying to adjust back to baseLT, I'm having some trouble. It may be because of less opportunity, or it may be because of more complex positions... probably both.

However, I prefer renspawn to base - it was a lot more fun competitively and renspawn was much more welcoming as far as PU participation goes. I won't agree that one mod has more team work than the other either. In renspawn, it is all about holding the flag with a teammate and 2 players can hold the flag for an entire map without the chaser returning sometimes, but that is just harder to do in base. So one might argue that it takes more teamwork in base than in renspawn to hold the flag. It pretty much the opposite with chasing because of this. If a chaser is going to get a return, they need to work together to throw off the cappers by ma, etc. I don't know... it's hard to say which mod takes more teamwork. Tribes requires teamwork in general. I do know that in renspawn, I can usually self pass against 2 chasers in pubs very easily - I usually tell my team to just chase to get returns easier - but it's different in pu's of course.

Now, I'm not sure what the argument is that occurred between you and base people in this thread and why, but I believe that the best baseLT players vs the best renspawn players isn't really even for both mods. It would be MUCH harder for baseLT players to adjust quickly to renspawn to have match than it would be for renspawn players to adjust to base. But, I do believe many of the very good baseLT players would be able to get very good at renspawn if given the time, whereas it would take much longer for renspawn players to get good at baseLT. A lot of it depends on the players as well though. And you have to remember that a lot of renspawn players started out in base, including me.


So in conclusion -

opinion of renspawn players: renspawn is better than base
opinion of base players: base is better than renspawn

opinion of renspawn players: base players are noobs
opinion of base players: renspawn players are noobs

^^^^^ will not change until the day renspawn players play and get good at base and base players play and get good at renspawn. And that won't ever happen - because:

Base players believe renspawn to be gay.
Renspawn players believe base to be gay.

There are exceptions... If one mod starts dying, perhaps those who remain of that mod will move to the other. Hence, what I am trying to do.


You just need to play, puc, and stop trash talking so much. If you really want to assimilate into baseLT until renspawn revives, you need to adjust to the positions of the mod and you need to realize your inferiority to them. It has been hard for me, it truly has... but until renspawn people start playing again, I need to move on.

fuck, okay, I'm done.
 
do u have interpolate and pft?


I don't think so... lol. What is pft?

I have that thing that puts hit markers on chaingun so that I know when I'm hitting someone, but that's it.



I'll try 1.40 again, but I might just end up going back to 1.1



And jj, I'd def check out your vid if you could find it easily, but I don't want you to spend a lot of time looking for it if you don't know where it is. Up to you; I could just keep practicing quick routes I know too.
 
the better prediction in 1.4 is worth it, imo - i held out for a while because there's definitely an adjustment period, but once you get used to it you'll dig it
 
well that DL didn't work for me, maybe I did it wrong though. It blue screened me once and then i tried it again and it couldn't find program, I don't know. I'll try it one more time.
