If anyone manages to get a Tribes Ascend closed beta key, PM me . I signed up for the closed beta a few weeks ago, but I doubt I'll get a key.
Wait what? Another Tribes game?

I think you have to have a US citizen to be considered. (Fuck using free proxies)
Yeah, free to play too. Not sure if you're familiar with TotalBiscuit, he said the game was pretty good.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Funny thing about the teaser video on their site, Tay Zonday commented on the video with, "I hope they do it right."
I'm not sure if that's true or not. I'm guessing TotalBiscuit is from the UK and he got to play. Or maybe he has special privilege since he's well known. I had an account already for Global Agenda, so I was thinking I would get a slightly higher chance of getting a key.Stimey wrote:

His videos get longer and longer.
Holy crap.
Holy crap.
Only the ones he takes special interest in or has exclusive footage of. And like he said about 15 times, his hopes for Tribes are high.
Heh, I guess lurking in a /v/ thread about Tribes Ascend has its benefits. Some people are posting beta keys and I managed to swipe one. I just refreshed a Tribes Ascend thread a few times until someone posted 3 different keys. Copy+pasted the first key into Hi-Command and now I'm downloading the game. I guess I got lucky too, I waited maybe 8 or 10 minutes until someone posted some keys
Dammit I'm in those all the time
i want to be excited but the game looks shit

Well, I haven't played the older Tribes games, but I think Tribes Ascend is pretty decent. One thing veteran Tribes players don't like about Ascend is the hitscan for some weapons because hitscan wasn't in the older Tribes game. I kind of agree with them, I think the game would be better if there was some sort of bullet drop for the hitscan weapons. Some players ridicule at the game as "Call of Duty with jet packs." At this point, I think it's pretty doubtful the developers will get rid of hitscan, but we'll see.
I thought that a good number of weapons weren't supposed to be hitscan.
Looking at a list of weapons on the beta forums labeling which is hitscan or not, 9 weapons in the game are hitscan. Those are pretty much the assault rifles, shotguns, SMGs, and pistols. Everything else is either a projectile or a ballistic. Spinfusors are projectiles and grenade launchers are ballistic.
Since it's Tribes, I'm going to be using mortars and spinfusors. But I agree that a game with ranges like that should strive to not rely on hitscan.
i'm fine with single shot hitscan weps, like in ut/quake.

I don't mind so much with shotguns since you should be in close enough for it to not matter. I remember enjoying the ballistics when the Delta Force games started coming out in the 90's (also, you could blow up buildings ). I wish more games would emulate that.
So, a South Park RPG:

Seems interesting. At least Stone and Parker will have their say in the development.

My biggest complaint about Deus Ex 3 is that it's almost impossible to keep track of what weapons mods you've put on a weapon, unless I'm completely misreading it. After awhile of picking up other weaqpons for ammo and dropping them off back at home so I can get MORE stuff, they start losing track of what all graphical addons they acquired int heir lives.
Also, hacking is now too repetitive.

I'm not an RPG greenhorn, Floppy. Sometimes I'll pick up a weapon that has a silencer on the 3D model, but none in the either the picture or the examine box. Plenty of similar issues with jumbled circumstances. The way the weapons combine when you pick them up also seems a bit off*. That could easily be fixed by simply draining the ammo from a weapon you pick up if you already have it. It's just glitchy.
The game would've been better with a large storage chest system in your home and one at the company armory. I LOL'd when I saw the gun locker behind the big screen TV at the player's apartment. Smaller than an office fridge with no way to put anything on its shelves.
Skyrim is closer to being the best of two worlds. Throw a bunch of books on a shelf, and they'll appear exactly that way. You can pull them individually from the shelves or interact with the piece of furniture itself to use the inventory interface.
I wasn't expecting Deus Ex to be Skyrim, but a game that pretends to have an RPG element should do it right. I'm reduced to sorting my guns and ammo through giant loot piles on the floor.
e: *Also, in one of the missions you have an option give a 10mm pistol to a guy. I had a heavily modded 10mm pistol I didn't want to get rid of, and a 10mm pistol was nearby on the ground. What I had to do was drop the one I wanted to keep, pick up the other one off the ground, give it to the guy, then run through a hail of gunfire to pick my own back up.
A normal RPG would merely have you pick up the fresh 10mm pistol and give that to him, but noooooo. Frustrating.
