Tribes: Ascend is an upcoming free-to-play multiplayer-only first-person shooter part of the Tribes franchise. It is currently being developed by Hi-Rez Studios and was announced on March 11, 2011 at PAX East with an expected release in early 2012. It will be available as a digital download for Microsoft Windows, though Hi-Rez Studios haven't ruled out the possibility of an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 release in the future. Iconic aspects from previous Tribes games such as jetpacks and skiing will be featured in the game.
So anyways I love this game. It's simply awesome. Every kill you get gives you immense satisfaction because of the skill and effort required to get them. If you can't aim for shit you can still enjoy the game for it's EXTREMELY fast gameplay. Some classes
can easily reach speeds of 200km/h.
At it's heart it's a capture the flag oriented game, with other side objectives such as defending the generator which powers all the flag defences. There's also a team deathmatch and a "rabbit-hunt" mode where all of the players hunt a single flag carrier and earn points for holding the flag.
It has jetpacks, vehicles, turrets, multiple types of projectile lauchers such as rocket launchers, mortars, grenade launchers, mines, miniguns and classical smg/assault rifles. All of the weapons in the game have velocity and speed at which their ammo reaches it's target, as well as reacting to the speed at which you move while shooting.
The game also features a convenient communications system:
It reminds me of quake CTF combined with CS surfing, jetpacks and TF2 engineer class turrets/equipment.
You can easily get a beta key through their facebook page.
You can get the client from here.
You can add me as RomulusHawke ingame.
