Tutorial?

Hello plz, I haven't posted much here but I was wondering if the developers or community had a tutorial video made?

I am a competitive Tribes Ascend player and have found that unfortunately, there is a large gap between how competitive play operates and pub play operates because the pubbers don't know the META game or strategy that leads teams to victory. I think part of this is induced by the fact there is no tutorial video or demo. I think with all games there should be a "mandatory" tutorial video thats short but sweet (5-10 minutes) that explains the JUST of the game. This gives the floor level a raise and makes pubs actually enjoyable.

I've been following this project for about a year now. I played the original NS1 years ago (I was just a pubber and never any good) and I am hoping that this game becomes popular however I find that the difficulty level is much higher than newer games which is good but unfortunately not everyone is an old gamer and enjoys the challenge of figuring out everything. I hope that a tutorial video gets implemented so the new generation of gamers stays with this and has a better understanding of the game.

While I know some people enjoy pubbing and just killing ###### NS2 is a very TEAM oriented game, luckily this game has voice comms or you'd be ######, (in Tribes Ascend there is no voice comms)... I think a tutorial video that was in game that YOU HAVE TO WATCH (if you're a new download) would benefit new people greatly.

Of course there are videos on youtube but kids are lazy and ###### and don't want to sit through watching a 30 minute video or watching Scrims to learn the strategy.

    There are a lot of tutorial videos accessible from the main menu.

    Edit: Also I think you mean 'gist'.

    Forcing people to watch anything is a terrible idea. The tutorials are in the menu, and anyone who wants to learn is always welcome to set up a private server or check out the wiki.

    NS2HD is not professional advice ... nor does it sub as a tutorial.

    NS2 needs a dedicated tute. Now the problem is, who can arrange a menu mod, game model group all strucures together with a highlight/click interface and provide an in depth cinematic for each selected chamber/life form? And thats JUST the life forms, no metagame.

    That's how I would see a 'tute'....

    Starts with : How to win @ NS2 (hint: its the same for both sides)

    Advanced tutes: Chamber/life form specific, alt fire, primary, secondary abilities, all demonstrated with animations and text descriptions of effects.

    I would love to do this myself, but would hate to let people down with failure.
