They keep changing the name of it. I just looked and it is now called the Thrust Pack.

Had a go with some of the new infiltrator stuff and it looks pretty good. I've not played infiltrator much so I can't comment on it really, but the knives are amusing and the smoke grenades/jackal look like they could be good for the base camping harass infiltrator.

I love playing raider right now :D

There are so many dumb INFs that don't realise raiders jammer pack will make INFs visible :)

There are so many dumb infs around atm due to the new pack being out, watching people playing inf like any normal class is so much fun. Its pretty much a great time right now to play raider with a scrambler pack :D
 
I'm probably misusing the Pathfinder as I play mixed, defensive and offensive. I like the pace of the Pathfinder even thought in theory it's on the weaker side for dog fights.

I was looking at unlocking the engineer with base turrets (whatever it's called) as I could then play defensive, but again not sure how good they are and with limited XP I don't want to waste it.
 
The inf skins are a lot of gold. Can't say I will be getting them. I like the flag counter and carrier. I always had it in t1 and missed it a lot.

Still happy with how the game is progressing. A few more old tribes maps to come which will be nice to see.

Lots of people have been buying the Bundles: Knives, Jackal, Grenades and 1 of either skin for about 2000 gold.
 
Small new patch.

Significant Items

-Spinfusor projectiles now travel at the same velocity, though Spinfusor weapons still vary in damage, radius, and fire rate.

-Increased Juggernaut's SpinfusorD projectile velocity by roughly 5%.
-Increased Soldier's Spinfusor projectile velocity by roughly 3%.
-Increased Brute's Heavy Spinfusor projectile velocity by roughly 8%.

-Brute's Light Sticky Grenade damage against Generators increased 125%, better matches the Infiltrator's Sticky Grenades.

-Fixed an issue where Soldier's AP Grenade did too much damage against Shrikes (reduced by 75%).

-Damage increased on Brute's Nova Colt by roughly 5%.

-Time for inactive reload reduced from 6s to 5s.

-Increased the distance from the flag the Rage Perk will activate by 50%.
Damaged caused by early in-air detonation of Infiltrator's Jackal rounds reduced by 50%. Knockback from in-air detonation also decreased by 50%.

-Damage against armored targets with Infiltrator's Jackal rounds increased 20% (Fixed an issue where full damage was not being applied).

-Fixed an issue where the sticky explosives from the Infiltrator's Jackal could not be destroyed with bullet based weapons.

-A variety of backend changes preparing for the introduction of future functionality.
 
Man, I am loving this game! Been ages since something really grabbed me.

I would have rathered it been like Tribes 2 and not had the pay element to it but damn this game is fun, I'm loving building up the XP and unlocking upgrades and new kit.

I purchased a bit of gold for 10 bucks to become a VIP and get the XP boost in every match, has opened up a good few bits for me, plus I don't mind shelling out a bit of cash since it's free to play and I really want this to be successful.

Have to say the only thing that makes me sad is the lack of Shrikes flying round the map and vehicles generally, T2 was awesome for that kind of thing. The credits to purchase is quite high and kinda put me off as usually last less than a minute once I'm in one :)
 
Does anyone know if there's a competitive side to this game? Particularly a side that helps newer players? I'm really enjoying this, so much I paid for the 35 quid pack (Ticked off you don't get enough gold for everything though).

I'm not that great overall, my saving grace being that I mained soldier and spy in TF2, so infiltrator work came pretty naturally, and after getting used to it spinfuser shots are coming along nicely with plenty of blue plate specials as Brute. I still don't really understand how the game flows though and would like to get better.
 
yes there are matches going on already with ladders starting soon. There are private servers that are connected to via the console. You need to be white listed by high Res to be able to play though. I'm guessing all the top players mainly use these instead of pub servers.

If your new then probably stick to public servers for awhile as the level the pug guys play at is pretty high. I'm one of the lowest rank guys at rank 19.

I'm loving the technician, engi was one of my fav classes in TFC/TF2 so natural fit for me. Was big fan of spinfuser in T2 but loving the engi little machine gun.

So is there going to be an OCUK team/clan, doesn't seem to be the tools to do more than add friends currently but maybe we could get a player/friend list going on here? Be nice to play with some of you folks.
