(More customer reviews)I started playing tribes with "starseige: tribes".Tribes 2 was an awesome upgrade.However, graphics, sounds, and vehicles aside, I think "tribes: vengeance" is an inferior game to tribes 2.
I have conquered the single player missions and I have played several days worth of multiplayer.Things I like are the new vehicles and the updated graphics and sounds.Things I don't like are the lack of a targetting laser, all of the packs only last a few seconds after activation, and once you activate a pack you can't "unactivate" the pack until it runs out of juice.Furthermore, you can't activate a pack until it reaches full energy.
They changed the plasma rifle into a burner rifle.The burner rifle runs off the armor energy instead of being ammo driven, which is cool except that you can't use the burner while jetting around.
You can't seem to mount turrets on walls or ceiling.There are no pulse sensor packs or motion sensor packs or cameras.There is no health kit you can use anymore.There is a repair pack which passively repairs you over time, but it doesn't really help you recover from an "oops, that was stupid of me" kind of mistake unless you run and hide for a long time.The new repair pack is cool in that it repairs all equipment and players nearby instead of just one object at a time.
Another thing I dislike is the new voice hot key list.I can no longer say I am going to defend the generator.Now, I can only say I am going to defend the base.Less specific and I think that hurts team work.Additionally, you have to hold the shift key while you are keying in the letter to say what you want to say, which takes two fingers.Before, I could key in a message while still moving with two fingers, now I can't move because the shift key has to be held, which disrupts game play and makes me a sitting duck while trying to communicate with my team.As a result, I rarely use the voice keys, which once again detracts from team play.
I don't like the fact that I can only carry three weapons even in heavy armor versus the 5 weapon slots in tribes 2.Also, the new missile launcher now requires you to guide the missiles to your target instead of being able to lock on to a target and then fire and forget.Oh yeah, there are no flare grenades either.In fact, for tribes: vengeance there seems to be only one grenade type.
The end result is that I like tribes 2 better.Tribes: vengeance is less complex than tribes 2 as far as strategy goes.I think it might be a good idea for VU to distribute tribes 2 as a bonus disk along with tribes: vengeance, since they were giving it away anyway.Maybe that will generate more sales, and if people like tribes 2 better they won't feel like they were ripped off as much.Better yet, maybe VU can add the missing components so that tribes: vengeance is actually an upgrade to tribes 2 instead of being, in my opinion, a down grade.
Great vehicles, graphics, and sounds, but in my opinion VU has wrecked the mechanics of this game.
