Why I'm not playing T2

And I too am shocked that Natural's being flamed so much. It's good to see he's been demoted from godhood, but I suggest to you new guys and those flaming him that you at least remember that at one time Nat ruled Tribes, and he deserves to have his say without being mindlessly flamed.

Um... where? I haven't seen anyone flame him.
 
Whoever said earlier that you could be sucessfull in T1 playing without teamwork is utterly moronic. You certainly couldn't in matches, shit, in playing on the good servers capping without at least "some" teamwork was near impossible.

I still believe that what made T1 a great success, was the great competition. If you had just played pubs all the time T1 would have had a life span of about 6 months for most gamers.

The competition on T2 can be just as intense and fun, as it was in T1. Sure it's not as fast, but the strats are more carefully thought out, and when everything comes together and your clicking as a team, it's a great feeling.

I think one of the main reasons ppl really find T2 boring is they really went WAY out of their way to stop the "cowboy cappers" bigger maps, smaller turrets/better turrets, slower skiing, lasso elfs, some maps harder to reach flags, all to force you to use the strats we grew beyond in T1... alot of us think i dont wanna stand in line and wait for a damn vehicle... i have learned to hate most vehicles and think "llama" when i see them.. (not saying i fully feel this way I LOVE SCOUTS :) more speaking how most ppl think)

I am not flaming T2 because its not a total loss but i strongly feel it will die soon when the new big and better thing comes along.
 
Nat pretty good post, I believe you have aknowledged that some of your points are however mute if you have played the game to some extent(tanks,disc vs. missle ect.) The recent patch has resolved a few things and for the most part its fun. At first I hated stuff about it but it grows on you as you learn more about the gameplay. Pubs also suck, but from the expierences I've had in Pu's I have kept playing; Match play, scrims, and Pu's can be fun as hell.
 
I agree with the lack of the cowboy, Nat. While I'm really loving the teamwork Tribes 2 entails, I honestly do miss watching one player step up and dominate a game. Honestly, the best cowboys in T1 were the ones that knew what teamwork was all about and how to use his incredible skill to benefit and work with the team. It's a sad loss that may very well cause T2 to become unpopular not only with vets, but eventually the new players as well.
 
Don't blame beta people for map stuff.. etc..

we couldn't really test a damned thing
were y ou in the beta channel?
5 or 10 peer's every god damned 5 minutes ..
people were crashing CONSTANTLY..

I was impressed to have it run on my computer for FIFTEEN GOD DAMNED MINUTES
 
Heh, I remember when I first got recruited, me and Mud Sloth hugging the ground with our repair packs =) eventually Nat taught us how to ski, then HO, and then it was pure bliss. (although it was also DAMN fun before skiing, flying the apc accross the map to the scarabrae base to own the base with a heavy!) ahhhh oh well.

And yes, a lot of you guys are saying teamWORK. however, the dev teams 'vision' of how t2 should be played, has forced roles upon players that is work. (ie: locke's post)

Blah blah blah, arguments have been said a thousand times over.
 
I was looking forward to playing IE in t2.....but oh well. I like t2, but I'm still trying to figure out why.

oh yeah and [HT]- was like "dood we have to got NAT" #ht
 
I stopped reading a few pages back....

<B>AM I THE ONLY DAMN PERSON ON THE WHOLE DAMN PLANET THAT IS COMPLETELY PLEASED WITH TRIBES2?</b> (with the exception of the stupid scoring change) I bought this game and started playing on a fucking voodoo3 I hadn't even started tweaking the game, I began to love it.

I love flying the vehicles. I love the challenge the shrike provides, being one of the few on a pub that can actually <b>fly the damn havoc without using all the damn jets</b> I find being in an nme base with cpak and shl very nerve wracking, probably the MOST enjoyable thing in the game. (everyone who complains about the game being boring, go do that)

I love the stupid quakers who I can fly up, disk, wait for them to respawn, then disk again. ( :D ) I love being able to fly past 5 nme bots all set on high, and not getting nicked once by a bullet. I love charging around nme bases with an sjpak and a buddy with an rpak. I love disking the cloakers who waltz into the gen room like noone can see them.

I love escorting the flag carrier. I love being the one to finish carrying it if he gets killed. I love taking out an nme gen room cuz they think turrets will keep anybody out.

I know this game isn't the same as T1, but this IS the game T1 was supposed to be. Take out the skiing, (bug) make the med more useful, get the vehicles used more, and implement some of the good ideas made by the player base (done in mods) and make the game SELL.

Remember though, this IS sierra we're dealing with here, and they haven't done a really good game since T1 or HL.
 
T2 is fucking horrible. Tribes 1 was fun (for me) because of how FAST it was. The simply incredible speed of this game, with split second decisions made this game amazing to me after playing other boring FPS games. Tribes 2 ruined this.
 
IE......... Natural.... Jeff..... Nat was never or will ever be a god. You are pathetic and ignorant. Nat is IE. He is IE, the same as Warnipple, Special, lolnow, beatstick, style, rj, thantalas, LucidFrost, BananaMan, Locke355, Cyrano, aestis, etc. We're a family. It's something you just can't understand, it's in our blood. Tribes 1 will always in my eyes be the greatest game I've ever played, nexted to wolfenstein. Nothing will be able to replace it or compare to it..... period. I agree with Nat hands down. I'm trying to relive t1 in t2, maybe it'll happen maybe it wont.... but we'll see. I've always wanted to say that.

Thanks IE, for letting my name have a place to call home
