500,000 people that have T2 already dl it over and over.
Why is this a good idea Rilke? T:V doesn't come out for over a year.
Any buzz that results from this will have long dissipated by then.
Would giving away T2 to all the people who have never played T1 or T2 make them more likely to buy the next game, or just piss them off?Pendragon said:Wouldnt be worth it for them. People still buy the game you know.

Who in their right mind gets pissed off when they can get a game for free? Even if they don't like it, they didn't have to pay for it. Only thing that might piss them off is if they spend two days trying to download > 1GB only to find the game sucks (*cough* PlanetSide *cough*). I played the T2 Demo from the week it was released until I purchased the full version in November, 2001.Thrax Panda said:Would giving away T2 to all the people who have never played T1 or T2 make them more likely to buy the next game, or just piss them off?
BitTorrent is simply THE BEST for distributing large, high demand releases. I'd love to see more companies supporting BT downloads instead of people having to wait in line for downloads from Fileplanet.rilkean panther said:Fileplanet, Fileshack, you know, the whole works, absolutely free. Put a splash screen for T:V on her and she's good to go.

I think it would more likely make them want to buy the next game. From the websites I frequent, a lot of people like T2. The main people who do not like T2 (or get pissed off) are those who have played t1 and just don't like the way T2 is different. For those who have never played either one, T2 is actually very exciting.
I had two friends over the other day who have never even played either Tribes game, and they played the T2 demo and were just floored by it. The vehicles, jetpack, and all of it is actually very exciting.
Thrax, would Sierra actually do this?
I reall think Sierra would majorly benefit from it.
