Legions actually plays pretty fast. Almost too fast which causes a lot of balance issues on a assortment of maps with varying size. It only works well on the smallest of maps. That and missing content takes way from the game so it gets meh after awhile. Plus the binds mess kind of takes the kiss concept and kills it.…

Outstanding work to Arcanox and crew. Outstanding!

Its too bad the talents of the tribal wars guys and the rise guys cant be pooled together for a standalone Tribes game. At least for the art and model concepts. Its pretty impressive when you look at the these mods. Especially Tribal Wars since its actually been released. The design and art concepts for both mods are…

This is a huge room of "who cares".
-
Its amazing how one or two guys doing this as a hobbie can conceptualize something so kickass, and yet a whole company that owns the IP cant even come close.

I dont think people have much faith in GG or InstantAction. Plus Legions isnt even close to being as fun as Tribes 2 and I'd rather play that now then Tribes 1. Especially Tribes 1 in a browser. Will people be able to play mods on Tribes 1 through IA? Thats probably the next "Its coming soon we promise". Everything with GG…

For me any game that is considered Tribes or Tribes like shouldnt have a hard boundry period. Thats just one little difference about TV. Even if you played LT or spawn CTF on smaller maps its annoying to have hard boundries ala TV or Legions. It immediately limits the game for any of the known mods or base play that played…

Good find thanks. I think its funny that all of a sudden it a big topic of discussion in the gaming world that maybe people are starting to prefer the larger mulitplayer aspect of games versus the single player. Ya think? Not to downlplay a good single player story, but seriously they are just now starting to realize this?…

Legions is like Tribes LT and even at that there is something about it thats boring even compared to Tribes LT. GG is kind of making the opposite mistake that was made with Tribes 2. Tribes 2 base release was really slowed down a lot which annoyed a lot of people. Now in legions they are focusing so much on speed they are…

Thyth you sir are genius.

CS is like windows. Its just what most gamers learn about in an FPS early on. A lot of these kids dont even realize it was originally a mod for Quake. It grew so large early on and rode the Half Life gravy train. Also it helps a lot when you have Valve being the behemoth supporting you. Imagine if Valve decided one day to…
-
Even though tribes may seem like nothing in comparison to things like Half-Life, most people in the gaming industry are familiar with the Tribes franchise and Dynamix. Its regarded as a ground breaking game for its time. A classic. The problem is that it was so ahead of its time and got pirated a lot that it didnt draw the…

Sorry for the novel guys but this topic always pulls at my Tribal heartstrings. Most FPS games other then Tribes involve a common familiar mode of movement. You have your basic run, strafe, walk and in some prone. This is what is familiar to the masses in terms of an FPS game. That's slowly changing thank god, but from…

I thought you Ascension people got all mad about the support for TGEA (no more atlas engine etc)as Garage Games has shifted all efforts to their newer Torque 3D engine and stopped support for features in TGEA? Maybe you might take some of the replies as an indicator that people have no clue what is going on with Ascension…

Unless there is a full out commercially developed Tribes game most homebrewed Tribes like games wont really garner a lot of attention. I respect the people that make these homebrewed games, but tha'ts just the reality. You could try Legions, but I think after playing Tribes 2 then trying Legions youre going to find Legions…

Actually with the laser rifle in T2 it would be fun sniping grapplers out of the air. That was near impossible shooting blanks in TV.
-
This made me lol. Usually its the opposite.

Legions can be fast, yes, but it still has momentum issues. That's why you'll notice a lot of people have a hard time chasing on the larger maps. Basically the way the movement and speed is in the current game only the smallest of maps play well. For example, a map like Dangerous crossing would probably play well in…
-
Its strange that Jeff and Rick left Garage Games right when they started up Instant Action. Pushbuttonlabs and Instant Action basically have similiar goals so you wonder why they left.
-
I've played Natural Selection and although its a good team style death match game I still vastly prefer Tribes 2 the 8 year old game. Why? Because there are a dozen games like Natural Selection on the market including TF2. There is still nothing like Tribes. And no, Legions is not Tribes, neither is this new Section 8…
-
I was never that much into mech games, but Mechwarrior 2 and 3 were definitely awesome. There was something about the mechs in that game, the way they moved and jetted forth in the air. Very realistic. Another mech like game that was a blast but for some different reason was Shogo: Mobile Armor Division. Anyone remember…
-
Natural Selection is cool but its more on par with one of the many team deathmatch style games played indoors. So one teams marines and the other alien whoopee. And jet packs aren't equivalent to jet/jump skiing. There is nothing like the open outdoor and interior aspect of Tribes along with everything else. I'm sure it…
-
Personally I dont think it matters whether its a pub or competition. Ctrl + k in the heat of battle really has nothing to do with denying someone points. At least thats not why I do it. Most people who have played Tribes for quite some time know its just part of the game. This goes all the way back to Tribes 1. They do it…
-
Legions is somewhat like Tribes lite right now. The skiing and movment is a bit different. There are not as many weapon limitations as you have in legions and of course theres all the other stuff Legions currently does not have. In legions they made skiing a little easier. You basically go in hover mode to ski. What they…

thebeaz is making fun of my poopsocks =P

Play on, have fun and ignore those people. They are just having a hard time dealing with the fact that its not 2001 and their merit in The Tribes world doesnt really matter anymore. Not that it really mattered at all except to a very small minority.
-
Its a good direction. No threat. Playtribes is for T1, Tribesnext is for T2. Garage Games owns Tribes IP now so maybe...just maybe in the future we may see a new Tribes game. But no worries with TribesNext. I think GG is doing a lot of brainstorming these days because even a lot of the developers there had no idea about…

Not much has been heard about Twars as of late. Arcanox seems to be the only guy working on it. I think Andrew of t1 fame was helping a bit with the physics but now Andrew is apparently working with Garage Games to help with Playtribes.com. Neolight did a lot of that kickass twars concept art and he's just nineteen. He's…

Your assumptions are that only someone who has played competitively or plays only classic can teach someone something about the game. Thats wrong. A lot of new people are coming into the game just trying to figure out how to use things, how to change armors, switch out weapons etc. There are plenty of people who have…

Well its hard to build a full out mod with tons of content, good art etc with one or two people. I just think the only way you can grab back a large following of players is to build a full out commercial game and back it with decent marketing. Halo is an average FPS game. It took off because it had the Microsoft marketing…
