Tribes: Ascend - Hindsight One, Heartbreakers & Lifetakers

Clips from mimelim and I playing in the first two weeks of the Tribes: Ascend closed beta.

I would have liked to record more and make a more 'feature length' video but this is a start until they implement demo'ing and then getting clips will be a tonne easier.

This is my first time editing FPS footage so any constructive criticism on the editing is appreciated.

Thanks for watching.

what is your opinions of the game? i fucking loved tribes 1 and 2, but have not really gotten into any FPS Games since...

[mirieth]

@morbentfel As of the current patch it's pretty broken - the projectiles have zero inheritance, hitscan weapons are annoying as hell and the UI is less than useless for competitive play. On top of that, the maps are pretty awful and the lack of proper air control is a simply baffling way to build movement in a Tribes game. The worst thing for me is these idiotic air strikes they added. Our clan really wants this game to succeed for obvious reasons, but a lot needs to change.

@mirieth

How are hitscan weapons? I've been told they're much too weak to be an effective primary and be a real threat. Also, what do you mean "lack of proper air control"? Do you mean flying in the air as soldier, etc. and not as vehicle right? You should make a video on your opinions so far on gameplay from an experienced and competitive person's POV.

@Nuhjeea Yeah, you're spot on with hitscan - they're powerful but it's not that bad. Most vets would prefer they were ballistic (me included), but whatever - there are far worse issues than hitscan. As for air control, I mean simply being able to move left and right in the air while moving fast as you could in T1/2 because you had directional jetting. This isn't present in T:A meaning you fly in a more linear manner.

I'd love to make more T:A videos but atm the lag is unplayable for me sadly.

@Ace2066 You know Halo 1 was released a good 3 years after Tribes 1 right?

[FrankDodd]

I think the relegation of the hitscan weapons is a good thing, it allows you to harass or finish off a target with a hitscan but still be required to do the bulk of your damage with a more skilful ballistic hit

@morbentfel Right now, this game is amazing! There are no hitscan weapons, they are projectile weapons now. this game is now awsome!
