Tribes 3 Needs to be A Total Package Game

TeamWarfare Staff

2003-04-07 13:18

1) Performance based engine with competitive graphics

2) Network stability

3) Gameplay par excellence!

4) Exciting, challenging maps/worlds with a user friendly, effective map editor (provide a decent manual).

5) Quality Singleplayer (if any at all).

6) Exciting, Intuitive User Interface

7) Features, features, features: What have you learned from previous tribes games and other games on the market? How will you innovate?

8) Customizability: options, options, options, for newbies and advanced players alike.

9) Bio fucking derms. (Diplomatic inclusion for the Save the Bioderm Movement).

*10) almost forgot: True and reliable support from game infrastructure to Dev responsiveness.

This would be a smart feature inclusion that would show that Thrax and Weas are paying attention.

That would rock. I'm sure it would get a lot of people to watch, and then buy the game if they had this.

Maybe if they supplied some T2TV servers to handle the load of people too?

If there was some sort of freeware downloadable complete package T2TV thing, I'd probably marry either thrax or marweas (but not both, I'm not a mormon ffs).

I've been thinking about it, and the technical problems are huge. If it were done maybe I'd have to convert.

Also, based on the post, I think we should just change the name of the bioderms to the BioFuckingDerms..

You got that right.. Man oh man when I first saw the model for the T2 blood eagle heavy I shat myself. It was a render.. but it was still just about the coolest thing I had ever seen.

It was my desktop for many moons

Things that are important but taken for granted:

1. Server Filters. Ability to sort by max ping, number of players, buddy list, game type, mission type, mission name, anything. It really should be very flexible, filters make a lot of difference.

2. Admin options, ability to set 3 tiers of server admin would rock. Ability to decide what admins have what powers would rock even more. Like give level 3 ability to centerprint and kick, level 2 ban ability, and highest level all options.

3. Practice mode, everything that is currently in the classic practice mode rocks. Only thing that might be added is ability for SAD to disallow vehicles in practice mode. Also it would be nice if the game would put people on their previous teams after a practice mode map reset.

4. GUI customization, it'd be nice to have functions to move around GUI elements in game.

5. More informative score menu. T1 had a superior score menu in my opinion. The "lobby" of t2 is a pain to look at.

6. Auto-server rejoin. God build it in already.

7. Multi tier passwords. Greatest idea since sliced bread. Keeps newbies out of servers that they aren't ready to play on. Keeps team servers open for members of that team.

All of these things, or things like them, need to be part of the total package. The User Interface needs to be good looking and functional, and needs to extend functionally into public and tournament modes. Bells and whistles, lots of them, built upon a solid game, neither detracting from the other.

All I ever wanted from T2 was T1 with better graphics and more weapons. I liked the physics of T1, and all Sierra shoulda done was build on those physics. I could care less about Bioderms, but it would be cool if there were more than only 2 options:human and bioderm. UT2K3 had it right with multiple races at least. That was almost the best part. If T3 can bring back the excitment I felt in the start of T1, I'll be pleased. T1 physics+whatever else they want to add.

Oh yeah T1 again woohoo.... it would suck i want a game where theres new stuff to learn not just the same sodding game which pretty graphics Tribes is such a good game due to the learning curve the sense of actually getting better and doing well.

yeah lests all go back to T1 and with nothing left to prove see how long it lasts.

Thraxx the legalist. That's no reason to remove the derms. Not like I really care. I was just about to accuse thraxx of not being able to pick and choose his battles, but then I accused myself. The bioderms are not really important, though I don't buy Thraxx's leagalistic approach to them.

a lot of that sounds like fluff that scriptors can add later...
