    Its also not a very nice looking engine.  Its a pain in the ### to work with too.

    Yeah, it is. For the indoors "prefabs" you make.. the terrain is created in their own editor. You take a building or whatever, and copy/paste it into their editor from WC. Apparently the engine is horrid with its indoors support though. And lighting. I'm not interested.

    In other words, I'd definitely work with it if it's going to get me a pay... but would not be my engine of choice by any means. I'd much rather stick with HL's old quake engine for now.

    Well, I've never played Tribes or Tribes 2, but if what Ken says is true, then no thanks.

    Dynamix is very proud of their "revolutionary" Tribes 2 engine, but IMO it's pretty low quality. Funny how it takes up 64MB of ram to run it though.

    Tchyoo, I strongly disagree.

    Almost <b>all</b> tribes servers have a different, more retarded mod than the last server you joined.  Not running out of enegry, having a Spinfuser shot 60 disks in 2 seconds, or gernades that are more like nukes -- all the mods is what made Tribes boring.  I love regular tribes, and TAC (Team Arieal Combat) Tribes mainly becuase it takes skill to play them.

    Actually, to put it bluntly, you're all wrong (except Steve over there)

    I've been working with the engine lately. It has amazing indoor support, the terrain is superb, and it's alot better than you guys made it sound. Tribes itself isn't that good, but the engine, I conclude, is as good as the serious sam engine itself

    EDIT: Btw shoven, Dynamix didn't make the engine
