Garalan]tried it not impressed pretty blah

Mofo Fly]So far its tribes to me.. nothing *new/amazing

but its FPS+jetpacks=winning

I always liked this kind of stuff because as skilled as any one that plays FPS thinks they are.. its really when you add the Z axis to the mix is when the talent level shows imo.

Its one thing to shoot at something on the same elevation as you with an automatic rifle(3 shot kill..) at the end of a hall as it crosses infront of your X hairs traveling at the 'slow' footspeed.... oooooooo ahhhhhhhh talent right there..
*most fps games are like this

Its another thing to land MA rockets.. or to be able to land that important headshot using a single shot sniper rifle bullet on a flag carrier zooming by at 200+ mph as you are screaming through the sky at your 100+ mph in a completely different direction.

To me Tribes games take waaaaaaay more skill level to play than any other FPS & its because of the use of personal jet packs adding that Z axis where other games just do not have.
