A lot of Arena players are assholes, it's true. It takes a certain mindset to be good at Arena, and a lot of Arena players - even though they can shoot well - lack that mindset, and therefore get beaten by high-level Arena players like Darkstrand and co. Long story short, Arena players who lack the Arena mindset are the…

There are plenty of volunteer people trying to remake Tribes already. Some of them are mods for other games, like Rise for Crysis and TribalWars (whatever it's called) for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Legends is a really old stand-alone one which is kinda pointless. Ascension is another stand-alone one that is still in the…

IRC is 1000x easier than a training website.

We've always been nice to noobs.

The graphics aren't even that good. Anyway, everything that Legions fanboys say about the game implies that the developers are purposely trying to make it feel different from Tribes, which is a dumb mistake. Tribes is already perfect, so by trying to make it different, it will be imperfect and therefore worse than Tribes,…

My question is why the hell would you defend something like staring at the CC standing still for a whole map. Letting people play the way they want is one thing, but that is not even playing. Same goes for standing on a hill with a missile launcher all map, not moving at all and occasionally shooting a missile. If you give…

C'MON GUYS SOMEONE HAS TO GET THE REFERENCE.

Man blindkilla you are so stupid that your life might force scientists to rethink natural selection. No one is bitching; we are teaching you how to use a CC. Maybe you missed the part where this forum is for teaching people how to play. I don't blame you, it can be hard to figure out that a forum called "Strategies and…

Keen doubles my critical threat range. What does Teratos do for me?
-
Your point is that it's valuable to have one player on your team do absolutely nothing but stare at the CC and tell everyone what he sees. This is false on multiple levels, and it's probably harmful to the player-base to even make such a claim. We already have people who sit on hills with only a missile launcher for entire…

It's actually not seldom used; it's very common. The only thing is, most good players will be doing this while doing whatever other roles they are supposed to do.
-
Yeah it's called graphics, ease of learning, ease of play, overall simplicity, utter lack of depth... etc. The average gamer now-a-days is clueless and is turned on by all of the above - so they play Halo. The fact that it was the first network-able multiplayer FPS for console was a huge and undeserved boost to it's…

LOL YEP ITS POPULAR GUESS THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS ITS GOOD RIGHT LOL!!! Fucking sheep.
-
All of the Halo games are proof that mainstream gamers will play anything that looks nice and don't give a fuck if they game is good or not - because Halo is fucking terrible. Shit like that doesn't even belong in the General Discussion forum of a game like Tribes 2.

You (possibly inadvertently) made a point in this post that I have tried to make many times before, though so many people can't accept it: Competition is this game's only real chance. If the noobs don't step up and start competing then the game is going to stay dead forever. Running around in pubs doesn't do shit to help…

I've always been a fan of the in-game Downloads page idea. That could have been whipped up in about 5-10 minutes.
-
Most games have like 10x as many mes.

That's why you do it in the MIS file. If you delete the AIObjectives folder (if there is one) from in-game, you will crash. I wouldn't be surprised if there were other things that would crash you on delete as well.
-
I always just pick a map with nice terrain and delete everything (usually via the MIS file). That keeps the atmosphere intact - though I suppose that's easy enough to replace.
-
Quake was incredibly popular and virtually every gamer ever recognizes the name, and probably lots of non-gamers too. Tribes has no where near that kind of recognition.
-
If you can't have fun in T2 without vehicles, then you are not even a real T2 player.
-
I think the first step would be incorporating it into another community, like Games for Windows Live or Steam. I don't think there is anything that could make the T2 community grow on its own. I mean, what's the last popular game to come out that wasn't a part of one of those communities?
-
I doubt it would do anything.
-
Yeah but no one would care unless it was added to their Live gamerscore or something. :\
-
A few friends won't do it, but any new people are welcomed. What we need is a full-scale advertising campaign and a game that looks new. Then again, in general it seems like PC games just aren't nearly as popular today as they used to be, so even that might be futile.
-
Ah yes I forgot that section was even there. That's kind of the point of that whole section: to convince people to play T2. Persuasion is done best by taking facts and fluffing them up, which is what I did. Not on the intro page. Some of what I wrote on the V2 page is my opinion, but I also explicitly stated that it was my…

This is the only intelligent line of his whole post. It would be incredibly easy to set up a central server that contains a "global" ban list, and have multiple servers use it. The beauty of Thyth's design is that it is completely up to the server owners - and no one else - if they want their server to be a part of it.
-
Pick out one line of the entire thing that is my opinion, and I will prove it correct. Good luck.

He's proven it over the past 8 years. If you missed it, then it's pretty much your own fault.

There already is one in existence, but some people are too whiny to accept it. http://www.tribes2wiki.com/wiki/Introduction_to_Tribes_2
