"Does not enable user to fly"
- Warning on Batman cape
After watching the movie I noticed a few features that I would like to point out.
I really like the fact that the fast flying airships give off smoke trails from there engines you can actually see them now! I never saw that in any of the screens.
The explosions are rich and sort of lifelike http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif
The jet bikes don't exactly turn on a dime they sort of keep going the same direction until you can get enough momentum to push your self the other way...very nice.
The blaster shots seem to ricochet off the walls inside buildings witch could make things interesting...
If you can fly close enough to the ground you can kick up some dust. Its hard to say how deep the water is gong to be, there was a platform in the water with a guy standing in it, about waist high.
There was one thing that sort of bothered me and it seems to be in every new game, the movie was mostly on snow terrain and when the mobile base or other land vehicles moved around kicked up a brown DUST. When’s the last time you kicked up dust in the winter?
Overall...I think this is going to sell more then Quake... http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif

I just ordered a new computer today, latest and greatest sorta thing... Can't wait to play. Looking forward to knocking the cobb webs off the GFH. Hopefully I'll have time to do a site re-design with some decent content. Busy with a Humane Society website right now (pawsonline.org). Also looking forward to making the soundpack, WraithPackII http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif

I can't wait for this game. I'm jonesing for my Tribes fix. On the downside...the motherboard for the new system I'm building doesn't seem to want to work.
Now I'll just have to go buy that gigahertz Athlon I've had my eye on...shoot! http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/wink.gif

It'll be good to be Tribin' again...and this time the mortars are said to whistle as they fall. Can't wait to see a new Wraithpack, either. Should be fun!
T2 will be awesome. Can't wait till it comes so i can show all of you how far my skills have come since T1. Of course some of you already know how good i'm getting. http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/wink.gif
I think i could take goob in a duel now. http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif See you all in Tribes 2.

Hey Slaught you had some good shots in there but once I warmed up, I was owning the place.
We need to get the old gang back on the server for some warmups to when T2 comes out.
http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/eek.gif Hey fellas... saw the T2 stuff and I had to stop and say hey. Due to my crappy connection (still 56K) I uninstalled Tribes and resorted to other games, but I should be making a comeback in T2 laser rifle and all http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I hope you guys are having a great Christmas season, judging by the systems I know some of you are. Maybe Slaughter's getting good enough to dodge those headshots... we'll see http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/wink.gif
Yes, a get together in T2 is in order. I'm getting good... nit as good as some, but I will say i'm trying to follow in the footsteps of Jcony. With the help of some other people... and with broadband coming.... i think that i'll be better than JC someday. http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/wink.gif I'm perfecting my MA's too http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif

Indeed! I had no idea there was still "hot n' spicy" Tribing action going on! My gaming time has taken a hit lately, and what little there is has gone to EA's NHL 2001 (a must-own for any hockey fan). I've just started seeing someone new, so that curtails my computer time, by necessity, but hey, she's the type to keep an open mind and try to enjoy some of my activities. Maybe we'll even make an AK'er out of her! http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/wink.gif
See you all in TRIBERspace! http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Did I hear somebody say Tribes? Its amazing how every time I quit to go play something else, somebody starts playing again. I tell you, I can never win. But, I will see some of you guys on the Tribes servers again very soon. I hope I can get back into the action..although I haven't played in a while. Seeya there.

Jackle...Don't be surprised! Goob, Slaughter and I haven't stopped period. Seems everyone else found another game or two to try. EQ has maintained several guys here for a long time...D2 was hot for awhile. Allegiance still holds captive a couple GFH's, and Counterstrike has grabbed many from here and other tribes players.
I've tried a couple of those other games but nothing has matched tribes for shear action and teamwork. Pubbin still a pain, but with the right server and players time flies.
Note: Tribes, Counterstrike, Dablo, and EQ are 4 of the top 10 most addictive games. I'll find the thread and post it!

I would be still playing Tribes if it was working.
I get the 1.11 patch(or whatever it is) and I click the .exe....it just wont start up http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/confused.gif

Time and effort is all you need to be a great player. http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif Too bad for Drew that his Tribes won't work... I feel your pain man... mine freezes after an hour of gameplay. http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/frown.gif but i'm getting a slot fan to put under it and a blue orb fan to put on it.. http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif

New version of writers scripts and 5150 soundpack...Check it out here!
http://www.tribalwar.com/
[AK]NeverRetreat
While you guys loading tribes again...I have found a soundpack that improves the sound effects of every item in the game. The explosions are to die for. With the cool speaker and sound cards I know you guys own, you'll feel like your in a Theater watching the landing scene on Omaha beach in Saving private Ryan. At 125megs this sound pack is huge but well worth it!
pick it up here...X-Pack 3001

125MB!? I'll tell you what, fellas...the day is fast approaching where if you don't have a broadband connection that you won't be able to do much of anything on the Internet... It's pretty much already here for anyone that's a serious gamer...

Sounds like fun. In fact, I'd love to dust off my old spinfusor and smear you people again. However, I am EQ's b i t c h, and I cannot resist its dominance over me. It gets very jealous when I play other so-called "games."
