I'd already be installing it to find out but Steam's browser is still the worst thing since the state of California.

Damn this looks rad, Tribes is one of my favorite multiplayer games of all time. Thanks for pointing it out.

One concern: this is like a 1:1 rip off. These weapons, animations, and I'm even recognizing terrain and map layout here. This is really skirting with "hey cut that shit out" lawsuit territory.

Y'know people shit on Ascend for the pay model and stuff but if you just bite the pillow and pony up the cash to unlock shit it's a fucking great game.

Except for the whole 20 people online thing.

Plus throughout Ascend I unlocked and maxed everything without spending a dime on unlocks. It was a surprisingly forgiving EXP timegate.

Running around as the infiltrator with throwing knives and the sticky launcher, terrorizing enemy bases, was one of the most fun experiences I've had in a game.

Using the hitscan bullet sniper and body-shotting flag-runners to death to the sounds of their immense salt was pretty great too.

Good news. The rail sniper is actually more cancerous in Midair than Ascend

Just play xeno-clash lmao.

But yeah, id wait for a few patches to differentiate before trying it, see what they turn out and whether it could be the new hot thing of 2019 for team-based jumpy FPS.

Being able to headshot someone flying around at the speed of Shazbot is one of the most difficult but satisfying things.

Headshots aren't even required though. The rail scales damage to the amount of unspent energy you have. Its literally paying you to be slow.

I'm glad you're able to do simple brain functions like follow predictable arcs with a hitscan weapon.
At least dudes on the ground get to mix it up with zig zagging.

Did some testing and apparently there is no hitscan in this. It has bullet drop, but its also got huge velocity so it feels almost hitscan.

Even HiRez Tribes was good for a good while. I just went back and watched the Shazbowl. I miss those days.

If you're serving up blue-plate specials to aerial targets I can respect that. Tribes at its peak.

If you're just FAST'ing over guys and shitting splash damage on them it's nothing to be proud of.
