| Except Quake/QuakeWorld and Quake 2 came out before Tribes 1 and they had recording (and substantial coverage), console and .cfg scripting, "skill shots" (mid air nades/rockets & weapon combos galore), and strafejumping / bunnyhopping (not skiing but same difference, a skill based way to go faster).
Can't think of a multiplayer game that had custom loadouts that came before Tribes though. ya got me there. Anyway- Tribes was not as innovative as you think it is. Maybe innovative in sucking.
I will concede that some people I knew thought it was fun. These were the same people that hated Quake, so maybe it's just a personality thing. Quake players are definitely much cooler and more sexy to women anyway. Flag this | Edit this post |

| You didn't miss anything, except for guns that shoot red yarn and CDs, some hilly terrain with terrible interior level design, shitty graphics, some very unintuitive gameplay mechanics with zero explanation, and some frustration that you could have spent your time playing UT or Quake. Turn that frown upside down! :)
And yeah the guns in these screenshots... way too fucking big. Covers a quarter of the screen. I am anticipating Tribes will still suck after all these years.
On a side note I agree completely with your assessment of Dino D-Day. Flag this | Edit this post |

| This level makes FC3 look exactly like Crysis without the nanosuit and aliens... in a copy/paste kind of way. Kind of like how Crysis looked like FC but with a nanosuit and aliens.
But wait they added a cover system, and SLIDE! Hold on.. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Ew, have to disagree strongly with that. Newerth is really good, I put way too many hours into the beta. The bit of Demigod I played after that was just slow and clunky and boring, especially having come right from Newerth.
I think about going back to Newerth all the time. Except I'm hella addicted to SC2 and there's a DOTA mod for that now :D Flag this | Edit this post |
