thoughts... You can not spinfuser the flag..major disapointment..i added a little extra strategy when u killed a man who had stolen your flag 1) you could keep it out of the backup cappers grip by knocking it as he flew in for the steal..or you could simply leave the flag in the field as someone tired to ski in you simply knock it away once again...

Vehicles leave much to be desired..it doesn't feel as face paced or team based as the T2 or the orginal...

Also dislike the jump+jetpack orginally it took skill to jump and then use ur jetpack to get maximum time aloft..now its automated...(though u can undo that..)

Skiing also is automated..in the orginal game it was an unintented consequences of the physics engine..now its become a core gameplay element and is way to easy..

Its fun but its no orginal or T2 for that matter...

Still have not gotten any Style Points..need to fix that

*wanders off to kill more noobs*

Been a while since I played T2, but this does "feel different". The team aspect seems kinda shallow but it still is beta.. maybe they'll fix the pacing and stuff. I'm in as Tinstarr btw.

supposdly you can use the grapple to hook onto a gun ship and ride it into a base..then kinda just let go and jet the rest of the way..sounds cool but has yet to work for me.

The Fighters remind me of Pods or the Point Defense guns in Homeworld..

I find that they are slow (compared to the shrike which was the fast capper craft) but are decent for catching flag cappers..

I think 1) vehicles need work..no more grabbing a shrike flying to your flag carrier jumping out him hopping in while you whip out the ELF to slow down his persuit...Btw where is the ELF? best defensive weapon in the game...

Heavies seem a little more mobile then before..and only have 3 gun slots like everyone else..

I played with 2 teams through out T2 [KEG] and [UNS] (ranked top 10 and even top 5 got to 2nd for awhile on TWL) so maybe im just missing the integration we had as a team..but Im able to lose myself for hours in T2 but not TV...

Also do you disconnect everytime a map changes? i get booted everytime..kinda annoying..

Grapple is kinda fun..spider man effect.. couple things you can do..start skiing in the cavern map grapple the ceiling and swing into the flag and swing out disengage and ur free...

can also grapple then switch weapons and basicly grenade/mortar spam from a high vantage point..makes aiming a tad easier... ur a sitting duck for plasma though..

I thought I was changing with the map but now it seems to disconnect me each time too.

One the map is horrible... I can't think of the name. But whoever gets their heavy to the other side first just mortor spams the inv stations which are all bunched together. You end up with sorry scores like 20-0 because one team has to fight to even change armor and is repairing while the other team just keeps using speed and grabbing the flag.

I love the.. "bomber" (I'm not good with names ). I did get to do some teamwork in that thing. When it was damaged we'd take it to the edge of the map, hop out and repair before flying back into battle. I was the pilot and had 2 gunners with me, preping for JTLS? The gunners got a lot of kills too, so I guess I did alright job.

I'm still trying to figure out the energy pack. I know how to use all the others but it doesn't seem to be doing me any good. When I hit "Q" to activate it, what does that do? I'll look around for the answer too.

Energy speeds up recharge..it also gives a bit of a speed boost..

..the game speed is slower, the players mass is larger, and discs move faster or cover a larger area...its probably a mix of all these factors but Mid-air discs are so much easier then in pervious games..

Ah okay... Man that would be so much more useful if it instantly refilled your power supply. Like your carry'n an extra battery with you. I'd make it have a longer recharge rate to even things out, but you'd be a better judge on rather it would unbalance things.

it would be bad for 1 reason..sniper rifle orginally SR was energy based in T1/T2 but now it uses ur energy as well as a bullet like object think railgun/accelerator i guess.. so if u had an instant refill ur talking shot 1 2 3 shot instead of about a 10second delay between shots... you can shoot the rifle before ur energy bar is refilled just does less damage...

Also it leaves the snipers vulnerable..can't jet right after shooting..

also in a duel..it would be a major advantage...

TV seems like its a dumb'd down version of T2 with different no better graphics (okay maybe the terrain looks prettier but the chars don't)..No cloak pack, no sensor jammer, NO ELF!, less vehicles and options in general, Jump+jet is combined skiing is the simplest thing...etc...

this is what has happened to our Teamplay, stategy, and tricks..its all worthless cause its simply easier to do things...they've taken some of the best parts of Mods and added em but ditched some of the best parts of the base game at the same time..the grapple and area effect plasma (burner) have been in Mods since the orginal tribes...and are very cool..but they don't make up for dropping everything else...and the no ammo pack is ridiculus..

i like being spider man in the cavern level..in T2 and orignal there were a few maps with designs like the Battleroom outta Ender's game with the grapple i think that if the map tools are good those types of battles would be sweet...
