Pathfinder is better for chasing because of Impact nitrons.

Pretty much Pathfinder is the only class worth chasing with if you have the boost pack that helps as well as the LAR but neither are as essential as the nitrons.

Is it me or since final release the option for not filtering chat disappeared? Ive looked few the menus a few times and still cant find it.

Yeah, it has gone. HiREz now all assume we are below age 13, I guess.

If you're a Doombringer a lot I might have, I remember one that annoyed me a bit.

Just picked this up yesterday...absolutely immense! Is there some sort of casual OCUK group for pubbing on this? Would be good to play CTF on TS or vent.

Downloading now. What's the one piece of advice you'd give a newbie?

Play through the training first and practice skiing. Get a feel for the weapons. Then for your first few levels start off on team deathmatch.

Then start on capture the flag which requires a lot of teamwork.

If you decide that you like it, I'd purchase the £6.99 gold pack, which gives you 50% extra XP, then use the gold to buy a double XP booster. Like that you will get more than enough XP for most of the class unlocks.

Joxang has it spot on.

If you enjoy the game throw some cash at a gold pack, it's well worth it for the VIP 50% extra XP.

Personally I went with the ~£20 one which gave me a 30 day booster and more than enough gold to unlock whatever took my fancy.

Think OcUK already has a mumble server just for this sort of thing, not sure if there is a Tribes channel though.

Essentially learn to ski, try to avoid using projectile based weapons at first and use a spinfuser to get used to the weapon inheritance. Don't cap the flag at first until you learn GOTTA GO FAST.

mmorpg.com still has some Solider Spinfusor keys left, but you have to register on the site for one.

I'm nearing 100,000xp saved for my Inf's primary weapon, now do I go spinfuser or jackal?

I'm not sure it'll be money well spent because I'm actually darn accurate with standard uzi thing, normally top of the tables for kills anyway.

Jackal is good, too good.. I rarely use it as I get no satisfaction from it.

So I'd go with Spinfusor.. but it's down to personal preference.
