I come from Tribes and Tribes 2.. Hardcore Tribes... Guess that means I'm going to be rocking a lot of you. ;)

MA mortars all the way. :D

Btw, to MonsE and Flay - Wish I would have been there.. For Tribes <b>and</b> the little NS playtest. Darn. :P

    I played original tribes for a bit. I never really go into it. Of course, that was in the Stone Age of Dial-Up. Maybe I can reinstall that while I wait for NS  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I am the Tribes 2 god. I haven't even talked to my clan for over a month and they are still sending me stuff to some to clan matches.

    My my, aren't we cocky...

    If it weren't for my short attention span, I'd me a T2 god as well, unfortunately, Ive moved on to other things.

    I can stil own with a disc launcher though <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> Never lost that!

    I have seen and heard many ppl play a certain genre and go oh i rock at any gameof this type and then it happens, they get a new game of that genre and get their butt kicked and kicked and kicked.

    So in the end even if your good at tribes2 you might require to learn NS befor you can do some serious pimpage...

    Point being?

    I never claimed I was going to be good at NS, nor did Freemantle. Either you misread BOTH of our posts, or your just trying to sound cool, but either way, your wrong.

    Leg, I think he was talking about Obibum's cocky attitude.  I play the Tribes 2 demo because I never got around to buying it.  I'm fairly decent at it, I can create a good deal of confusion when I fly at the enemy vehicle pad in a scout and jump out, letting it crash into it, then I just spam with my nades, mines, and whatever else I happen to have on my body.  It's always fun seeing people die by my mines 4 minutes later when someone decides they need to have a vehicle.  I dunno how it will effect my NS playing, I doubt it will do anything for me because they're so different.

    I loved tribes because of the learning curve... unlike counter-newb. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    It's cool, when someone randomly accuses me of something I didn't do/imply, whatever, you understand what I mean, I get pretty defensive too, it's one of the few things that can get me mad.

    Spyder monkey said it! Not good to help the community expand, but by-god, the great community you'll get.

    tribes 2 is a sweet game... fun to play hard to master.
    But it has it's own problems being that you need to be committed player and be in clan to see the full extent of this game, playing on pub servers well can just plain suck

    my previous post was not to knock how well you play, I have no idea of your ablities. I just want to help open your eyes before your sucking on the end of lvl5's hoof, foot, stump but i could be wrong you could be a ns god

    Freemantle's Tips to Make Tribes 2 Players Lives Easier...

    Bind Disc Launcher to Mouse 3

    Use Elf with all Light Armours

    Use Commander Hud and Some of PJ's scripts

    <b>NEVER</b> forget about your repair kit. Never forget to pick up your foes repair kit and disc ammo

    Missles are slow

    Whiteout grenades suck

    Shocklance isn't that cool

    Follow these tips and I garuntee you wont look like a total newb.

    Ahh Tribes 2....  I loved that game.  I played it all the time.  Until it suddenly stopped working and nothing I could do would make it work...

    Grr...
  • ZcaliberZcaliber Join Date: 2002-01-26 Member: 93Members
    Whiteout grenades do NOT suck! And the shocklance is DEADLY.

    No Heavy can dodge a thrown White out, when it lands, simply fly up and turn around to avoid being blinded, and while the heavy is lookin around with a white screen, waltz up behind him and ZOT! One easy heavy kill. ^^;; as for lights, I can hit 'em mid-air with the shocklance, while dodging their feeble disc (Also very skilled with those) launchers.

    Every weapon/Item/pack is good, it all depends on how well you use it. =P

    Oh man, I was into tribes since day one. I remember skiing(or whatever you feel like calling it) before it was common knowledge. I actually taught it to my whole tribe. I played Tribes 2 for a bit but had to stop when I joined the military, and lost access to any good computers... That was an amazing game.

    I liked it till they came out with the fog/remove structures patch.

    Then I just stopped playing all together.

    Don't believe me?  Just install a second copy somewhere and dont patch it.  Go into Raindance and just look at the differences.

    People with VooDoo's got upset they couldn't run the game at max detail at 1280x1024 ...

    Anywho, people have made the classic maps so you can replay the old maps with the latest patch.

    hmm... this thread makes me wanna re-install tribes2... although i suck at it, its pretty fun (feel sorry for me if you like... i actually admitted i suck) and shocklance rules, i use it all the time in a light armor, thats usually the only thing i do use... i usually take a shrike and either crash it into the enemy vehicle pad and use my whateveritscalledthatdrainsenergy to take down whats left of its shields (if any) and then i use the shocklance to take it out entirely, if it wasnt destroyed from the shrike crash, which is kinda hard for me to crash perfectly like that... i stopped playing because... not sure why actually... either that or i just fly right to the flag, grab it, fly back to my teams' flag and cap it, usually pretty easy on the pub servers cause no one cares, and they usually just go DM only-type game... i wanna be in a clan
    (btw i gotta find my T2 CD and reinstall it, i love that game...)
    *finds his copy of T2 and reinstalls*
    [edit] i also love doing flips with a shrike, it helps when theres another on my tail, someimes, if their smart though, they'll do the exact same thing, also, if you drive off the edge of a high mountain into a deep pool of water with a hoverbike, it goes shooting way the hell up there, i remember 1 time i went so high my bike exploded on impact[/edit]
