Please nice WP ppl can we have a Tribes server running CTF no teamkills :)

PRetty much as the topic says, tribes is this excellent new fps game by dynamix
http://www.sierra.com/dynamix/tribes/

Basically it combines elements of CTF,DM and TF using some rather nifty gfx (q2esque stylez) and some huge maps and bases (its a multiplayer only game hence the map sizes).
BarrysWorld have had a server up for a week or so and its been well busy, a lot of the q1 hardcore players on the net are playing this whilst the leagues are inactive and there are a few tribes clans allready.

Not sure how it would go on WP, who would play it etc, but pls consider it.

regards

I have been monitoring Tribes for 6 months and have got to say it looks way better then any other FPS game out there or coming out. It is multiplayer only with a max of 32 players in a game at once, consisting of either 2 teams of 16, or 4 teams of 8 or any other combination. There is practically no lag on a standard modem connection and I have heard of games being played with 64 people at once with hardlly any lag also.

The maps are huge and contain both indoor and outdoor areas. No simple corridor rampaging here, you really have to have good team strategies and good team communication to win. One great point is that there is objectives based missions where you have to say take out the enemy radar's while they have to capture and hold part of your base. Alot more depth then any Quake2 mod or other FPS games.

There are different armour classes which dictate what weapons you can carry or use with them. No more running around with as many weapons as you can carry as Tribes has a limit on the number you can carry. There is about ten different weapons and about another 10 objects you can use, plus they are all well balanced not like Quake2 where its either the rocket launcher or the Railgun to get anywhere.

There are aircraft that can carry your team members and drop them off at any point on a map and probably the neatest feature is the Commander mode. This is basically a top-down view of the map where you can see where you fellow team members are and issue commands (just like in say Starcraft or Total Annihilation) to them to say flank the opposition or set waypoints for them to follow. And if you have enough radars active you can see where the enemy is located and direct your men respectively.

I could go on and on but the game just has to be seen and played to be believe. I have seen only two reviews for this game so far. One completely trashed it because there was no deathmatch mode or single player missions. The guy had no idea what he was looking at and was expecting a Quake2 clone and not a team based multiplayer only game.

Another review I saw spoke very highly of it and said it was the best multiplayer FPS game available, which means it is better then Quake2, Unreal, Sin and Half-Life.

Well thats enough, I am sure you get the gist of it. I am starting up my own Tribe at the moment that has International members. We have members from both Australia and the USA, and hope to get a sub-Tribe starting up in the UK soon. It is for PantherXL/Assassin Controller users only though. COntact me if you are interested though.

Hope all that info helped.
