ive never played tribes before, but i love global agenda, so if its anything like that i'll be getting this.
This game inspired great joy in me.
I also remember being something of a jerk in that game. Finding a secluded mountain top and using the sniper rifle to harass a team's base, practically invisible and unreachable. At the approach of a repelling force, I simple use the jetpack to vanish - mountain jumping my way home.
>.> I wonder if they will still have the base generators and satchel charges. Shutting down an entire base was... well fun, but bastardly all the same.

Before you get your hopes up too high, remember that this game is being made by HiRez. They've only ever made one serious game before (Global Agenda) which was such a failure they had to cancel the monthly sub and do $7 Steam sales (on a $30 retail price) to try to keep the game afloat.
Having played a bunch of Global Agenda I've concluded that HiRez doesn't actually understand what a multiplayer shooter is supposed to be. Seriously... what the hell kind of shooter won't let you team up with friends (well, technically, you can team with ONE friend) and go kill stuff. Nope... you enter a match filled with RANDOMS. And they expect people to cooperate...
So yeah... I'm not holding my breath.

Well it was a pretty stupid trailer, but if it's like tribes of old I may switch to it. I haven't enjoyed a vehicular FPS since bf1942 and ut2004, and if UT can't shape up soon then this may be my only option.
Hate this kind of teaser trailer. It barely qualifies as a trailer in the first place. I've never heard of this game before and for all I know from watching this video, it's a Halo wannabe that got a lot of praise from gaming websites. It's not even interesting enough for me to want to go find out more about it.
I loved Tribes 1 so much. So much. It was leagues ahead of other online multiplayer fps's at the time (with TFC being the possible exception). The modded maps just had so much in them and allowed for so much freedom. I'm so sick of being stuck to the ground and heading for cover in the realistic shooters. I want to use an unexpected jetpack burst to dodge an enemy sniper and pepper him with grenades from the air. AND I WANT TO SKIP STONES WITH MY DISC LAUNCHER!!!!?!?!
I think it'll suck. I hope it doesn't.

Unreal Tournament has won me over from Tribes and I don't see how they can bring anything beyond nostalgia to the table.
God... I loved Tribes 2. That was for me what Halo 2 was for others when it came to multiplayer combat. I used to be on a team, playing in ladders for dominance, we used to have practices like a real sports team.. PRACTICES!
Oh how skillful I was... I could swoop in, grab a flag, lance some noob heavy in the back who was guarding it on my way out, turn around in midair, snipe a chaser without losing a beat, and then hit a fool deadcenter with a diskshot before landing on our flag stand without touching the ground more than twice.
Gen room defense... oh man, I PWNED in that. I was a STAR!
But then Tribes 3 came out.. and world of warcraft and it all fell apart. Sigh. I miss those days of teamspeak with my comrades in arms, my buddies whom I never met from all places in the world. We were a band of brothers... bathed in blood, bonded in spirit.
Long Live Tribes 2.
Long live Death's Delivery Boys! [DDB]!

Wait, they wasted an entire trailer, the dramatic sound-track and their old statistics just to show us the 3D rendered models from their cinimatics...
Silly, silly marketers.
