I almost put this in Open Discussion, but I realized it's actually rated T.
I decided to try this game yesterday when it launched to the public, and it is REALLY cool. For those who don't know, it's a completely Free to Play multiplayer shooter. However, it is VERY different from CoD or Halo.
I never played the original Tribes games, but from what I've read this game captures the feel of the originals pretty well. The difference here is that everybody has the ability to ski around the map and fly with jetpacks. It's not uncommon to be racing across the ground at 100 miles an hour. On top of this, most weapons are explosive projectiles with travel time. This means it takes a considerable amount of skill (or luck) to land a perfect shot. However, when you DO land those shots, it is incredibly satisfying.
Also, the graphics nut in me HAS to mention this... The game is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Granted, it's running Unreal Engine 3, they did a fantastic job with the visuals, which put quite a few $60 titles to shame.
So, has anyone else here tried this game?
