Why when UT was upgraded did the game not become completely different and why when they created Quake again was it not completely different. Just because the game was designe with the UT engine did not force the developers to use the UT look. I dont think this game is a upgrade by any manner and when T2 came out it was based off T1 with upgrades. TV has come out to be a sequel and essence it has been a down grade other than the computer it takes to play the game and the almighty cartoon look. Why dev team did this game become what it has , something that will only generate instant dollars but no real life as the other 2 games which are the real Tribes series not this game TV . It is too late and i hope that this game you are trying to pass off as a Tribes series makes you all alot of money but mark this word, it will all come to a halt very shortly. For those of us that lived the tribes games i asked you all to voice your ideas good or bad in regard to what the new developers have done to a series we all had loved so much.

Hrmm...

+ You're in the wrong forum - this is the T2 forum.
+ You're on the wrong website - try the TribalWar Tribes Talk forum if you want to give the Devs a peice of your mind.
+ T1, T2 and TV all have different engines.
+ This isn't UT or Quake.
+ Use sentences and paragraphs please. (Just make it so it's not so painful to read.)
+ TV is still a Tribes game. Skiing, disc launchers, mortars, jetpacks, packs, turrets, etc... they're all still there.

Why is it a bad thing for a game to make $ and become successful? You're portraying it as such.

And ok, I'm gonna "mark this word" that "it will all come to a halt very shortly". Check. Be more specific so I can mark it on my calendar to know when to stop playing TV.

You forget that they're a business. The goal of a business is to essentially make money. They have every right to tell you to piss off and that they don't give a shit, because even if one person like you doesn't buy the game, they still make a huge profit.

T1 and T2 share the same engine, T2's is just a very updated version.

Im sick of this argument, it makes no sense. Just saying that T:V is a prequel doenst justify or challenge any arguments made by sombody who says that T:V doesnt live up to T2. You can call it what ever you like, its still the 3rd installment of Tribes. So its actually not a prequal to anything. Not until Tribes 4 anyway.

To every mutha one of ya that say TV is easy.

I fully expect y'all to be NUMERO UNO on each and every ladder/league.

If not, then as easy as you believe it to be, somebody out there will school you and make you cry.

Comparatively speaking..T2 had a much harder learning curve than TV does. It lacks depth (weapons/physics, grenades, mine/disk CC function, vehicle physics, etc), which will shorten its life span considerably.

This is supposed to be the easiest of the 3 to make mods for. The community will make T:V great.

Dang, with all the people that think it's easy (aka "OMG, I Qwn3rize at this game"), there's gonna be A LOT of #1 teams.

If it's so easy - put your actions where your 'virtual mouths' are and own up all the ladders & leagues.

I don't think T:V is completely different from T1/Classic, feels like Tribes to me. And easy? Nothing to learn? If you guys have already mastered it I hope to see you at #1 in a few months.

Its only easy because you already know how to ski/shoot a disc launcher...

Its not easy for actual new players.
