Infiltrators using the Stealth pack now fade in and become "visible" at speeds over 173kph.

Sigh... Can't throw fast speed stickies anymore

As a temp fix until real clan tags gets implemented, what about this? Lowercase OCAU, and then the first char in your name is cap? ie ocauRnR

Ugh, frustrating. I like that idea tho.

ocauDarkyFTW :P

Just be aware that in 15 days, someone could take 'DarkyFTW' and start cussin', throw stuff around, and play really badly. Oh wait... never mind...

clippit - yeah its kinda sucky that there is no clan support as yet. I would have thought that it would help drive adoption.

It actually makes for some pretty lame gameplay I have to say. Tonight has just been frustrating. Not only the lack of backup but the llama grabs and sooooooooooooooooooooo much typing and bickering

Darkness' · 26th February 2012, 3:49 PM

Ugh, worst few maps ever

Oppressa · 26th February 2012, 4:24 PM

LOL my off days were last week. Been killing it lately

Need to get to grips with that new level though. Not sure if I should cap, defend or repair on it...

put a donk on it.

Damn I have to say Bloody is unreal. Either hacks or incredibly good. He's a long time player but damn.

He tracked me with TCN4 and EVERY bullet hit me. Then I grab the flag on Katabatic at about 200. He is STANDING there and starts chasing then manages to catch up with me as I start to use all my jetpack to go up the steepest mountain. Downs 3/4 of my health before I pop over the top then when he flies over and sees me again, finishes me off and returns LOL

RnR · 26th February 2012, 8:01 PM

Verdict on the new map? Haven't managed to get any time to play since the patch came out

Yeah Bloody is very very good at chasing.

cbwolf · 26th February 2012, 8:10 PM

I'm 50/50 on the new map. It has some good aspects, but the generator room is just plain retarded

Darkness' · 26th February 2012, 9:26 PM

I find it too vast, if you have anything less than a full server it's a snooze fest.

oodles · 26th February 2012, 9:48 PM

Haha do you guys play late at night at all, you gotta to see most of the good players, there's a kind of 'club' to stay up late and avoid the noobs. 200 aint fast btw, thats llamagrab speed in today's cappers lol. 400+ is easily achievable common for temple ruins, and kurupt from the old clan MX3 (I think) was doing 350k grabs on Katabatic last I saw.

Btw, temple ruins might be a snooze fest, but its a properly sized map for the tribes universe. Crossfire aka Broad/Blastside from tribes 1 is the closest a tribes map should be. You might have noticed some strange logos emblazoned on the temple ruins bases, that's the Children Of The Phoenix clan from Tribes 1. Google image search it to get the logos.
