Expect more Llama grabs from now on, plenty of fresh meat playing now due to Steam.

Currently ~4000 people playing through Steam alone, no doubt most of them are between rank 1 - 8 atm, so should see an influx soon!

Might have to jump on TDM to practice my blue plates lol

Indeed, we didn't even get chance to warm up.. my aim was absurd during that game.

So far this is very fun.

So I found a new route

Haven't been able to play the last few days due to being overloaded with work, but from tomrrow onwards I'll have tons of time to play - if my comp will let me.

Nice uneven teams there.

Is this game anything like Planetside 2 by the way? Tribes does look good, but with Planetside 2 Beta coming soon, don't think it be worth starting this game up.

That match looks even. Dunno what ps2 is like but ascend is great. Kiwi what direction grab was that?

Right side, back hill. Double nitron and disk, then there is a small hill that you bounce off, then you drop down the hill which has spikes out of it, nitron then disk, over the massive partition in the middle of the map and down the really big hill on the enermy side.

I stuff up the last bit as it's difficult to judge at that height but once you get it I think it would be 400+ grab.

FYI, I hate that map so I just stuff around on it.

Etheco · 29 Jun 2012 at 09:25

How can it look even? Look at the K's and A's, the swords are pretty big compared to the Eagles.

Will have to show me tonight if your on. I feel the same. I just try get a really fast grab which normally takes most of the map.

Tribes is a team game. Plenty of uneven games end 5-0 so 3-2 is close game. Kills mean nothing in ctf if you don't have the rest of your team filling the roles needed to cap.

That guy may have spent the whole game killing nubs in the Gen room while the enemy capper capped three times. The only guy u need to kill is the guy with your flag.

Took me a while to figure this out as Technician. No good being top of the team if you have no caps!

Picked this up last night with the starter pack.

Had quite a lot of fun. Not quite settled on what I prefer to play yet, infiltrator has been fun. Enjoy causing havok in and around the gen room.

Been playing a few weeks mate having dropped BF3. I enjoy capping but you have to robotic to be good at it. I play soldier in PUG's as it's balanced, letting me play defense and when I need to offense.

FYI, you should get the rest of the TFU boys on this. Has a very nice team element to it and you can easily start PUGing stright away.
