Maybe it's like if you played the game before you inherit some cool exclusive weapon skins or something.

Wtf is an inheritance gun?

In Tribes player's motion affects the way most of the guns fire. For example, let's consider a gun that fires projectiles with a base velocity of 200 miles per hour. For this gun with 100% inheritance (the extent of player's velocity the projectiles fired obtain), shooting while you move at 200 miles per hour would result in:
  • Shooting forward - projectile flies straight ahead at 400 mph
  • Shooting backward - projectile floats at place
  • Shooting sideways, i.e. to the left for example - projectile flies 45 degrees to the left from direction of your movement, 45 degrees to the right from direction you fired
If you stand still, the projectile would just fly at 200 mph wherever you pointed it to.

Until the game died, it had one vaguely relevant weapon with 100% inheritance, with majority of actually used stuff being at 50% or at 0%. New patch has shaken some things up, with, iirc, one of the better changes being introduction of inheritance for automatic weapons (they all were 0% before).

I don't know if projectiles contribute to player's momentum. The boosting is done by blowing something up behind you.

It is easy to see when actually playing the game. Because I just did a poo poo job of encoding it it got lost because it is so thin.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Slowdown on Revolver is just enough to be annoying. Seems way more balanced now though overall. Interesting to see what competitive players will do with it, I suspect most will prefer the deagle. Maybe AWPers will use it for half-eco rounds.

I haven't played with the new revolver yet, but I imagine it's just more like a scout now, i.e. you tag a few players with it and the rest of the teams finishes the kills of with a 5-7 or something similar.

I'm bad, so your results may vary, but the thing I've seen in my games that will be interesting to see develop, is that it's kind of the reverse. Seems like it's very much a finisher for other pistols. If you get tagged by any pistol, the r8 comes in a second later and finishes you off.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
I actually am gonna check out Tribes again. Aside from 1.5, Tribes and Tribes 2 were my favorite PC FPS growing up. I played Ascend for a few months but the grind was boring and the teams were always stacked, regardless of server. How do I export my cs skins to Tribes? can't wait to see my polar mesh spinfusor

It was good until open beta when HiRez got all microtransaction-happy and kept releasing hitscan weapons and promoting Smite instead of adding in poo poo like a better spectator mode and community servers.
They actually did release community servers shortly after full release but at that point the community was dead and the devs were too busy facefucking each other over their lovely MOBA.

It...actually might be close to well balanced right now? Upper level competitive play might be is different, but among us plebs, it's just a reasonably useful pistol with a tendency to make idiots make risky, useless peeks.

Edit: a price increase to keep the scout competitive is necessary though.

Has anyone tried Valkyria chronicles? It's definitely the best tactical shooter on the market. I suggest it for any fans of tough, cerebral shoot man video games like counterstrike 1.6 or :global offensive, but with the added polish that comes from experienced Japanese developers.

It's basically a puzzle game. Your score depends solely on the amount of turns you take to finish a mission, and in general there's only one way to finish the mission in the specified amount of turns for the best grade. Any deviation from the optimal solution results in a deduction of score. The enemy AI will do the same thing regardless of your actions most of the time. There's very little depth or tactics to it. You're right about the "experience Japanese developers." Unfortunately, all that means is that the game in unbearably anime.

I think you mean a price drop to bring the scout to $850. :getin:
