It still takes a lot of skill, if not more, to do a lot of things in T2. The MA sniper uber LD is still around. There are still a lot of heroes. I think the only reason some of these people are quitting is because they want to be the best right away. They cant handle not being the best any more (and having everyone worship them). Natural is a prime example of that. Everyone worshipped him in T1, and i really dont think he can handle not having that any more in T2.
Hmph.

Why I'm not playing T2

eM.Einsteinium said:About the netcode, it is much improved. No, you don't see a lot of sub 30 pings. Where it helps is modem users. I've recently returned home from the summer, and where I live, there is no chance in hell of getting broadband (it's the sticks).
For the past 9 months, I've been on DSL. I'm very used to playing with 60-100 ping. I was pretty worried about how T2 would treat me on my modem. Well, suffice to say, T2 on a modem feels like T1 on DSL. There's hardly any trigger lag, and you hit where you aim. Very rarely do you jump around, missing some of the action. Hell, I was even able to chain fairly well on a modem.
For the most part, this netcode levels the playing field between LPB's and HPB's. There isn't as much of a difference as was noticeable in T1. And if you really need your sub 30 T1 ping (which feels about the same as sub 100 ping in T2), then maybe you need to reevaluate why the game sucks. Maybe it's just you.

DipStick said:Everyone of you that say there are still heros in T2 well...DONT HAVE ANY FUCKIN CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Heroism is when a guy can outrun, outsmart and outplay the opponent. You got plenty of this in T1, and ESPECIALLY from a guy like Natural. Yea...Its a cowboy style of play...But dont you even fucking dare say that cowboy play is only about 1 man. Its about the team working in unison. O clearing the flag...destroying the LD...killing turrets...and paving a way for the grab...Then you are half way there. Now you have to look at the D...5 other guys keeping your flag home...or safely guarding it in the field...SO that when your "cowboy" capper comes home( because he basically ownd your whole fuccin defense) he can cap the flag.
You dont have this in T2...Instead you have a guy that is home turreting..a flare throwin fatty on a bommber..a bunch of guys doing a specific task that they HAVE to do in order to even touch the flag. Unlike T1 where you just had heavies flyin to the otherside, and utter chaos around the flag...Honestly...have you ever seen 7 green arrows...and 7 red arrows...dog-fighting around the flag in T2? NOPE! You do all the time in T1. Spare me.
I am so sick of you faggots trying to tell me that T1 was a non-team oriented game. That is a crock of bullshit. You never played an organized match against "GOOD" opponents..otherwise you wouldnt have that opinion. So please stop trying to brainwash the newbies that read these forums into thinking Tribes2 is a much better TEAM based game...and Tribes1 was all about 1 man. Bullshit.
You all should take a second and think about who you are bad mouthin...This is [IE] Natural. Probably THE GREATEST capper of all time. You need to start treading more lightly...If this man has formed an opinion on T2...whether it be after 8 hrs or 8 fuccin weeks...I am gonna listen because he knows his shit more than any of you assholes. You can say its a different game...which it obviously is, but when I first loaded up the game...I realized that so much T1 skill automatically transfers over...so basically...I could play the game and pretty much tell you how it was gonna be played competitively. And if I can do it...You better believe [IE] Natural can do it 10 x better.
SO before you fucking Dynamix dick sucking faggots come at and say waaahhh...this is a new game..waaahhh...dont play it if you dont like it. Realize this. Natural does not need your blessing to not play T2. If he's not gonna play it..he's not gonna play it. And he definitely does not need you faggots coming in here telling him he is wrong about the game because YOU think he is wrong. I do remember the topic being...Why <B><I>I'm </B></I>not playing T2. Not...why YOU ALL shouldnt play T2..So do yourself a favor..and tread lightly cuz this is Tribes history making a statement...and you need to respect that...

Void|deadjawa said:Thanks. Obviously so are you.
The only fucking arguement being laid forth in this whole thread against T2 is "wahhh i cant do the same stuff i was able to in T1". That translates into "Wahhh im not god like i was in T1, so im gonna go play it instead".
The only people that are bitching are people who are comparing T1 to T2. And, the only people comparing T1 to T2 are people who are bitching because they cant ski or HO as well as they used to. And so, the only people bitching are ones who wont play T2 because they are not as good at it.
Its thinking numbnuts. Do it before you post.
