It's fun but your right about getting pushed around. So far I have killed a few peeps. But I still do not know about 95% Of why things work and don't work. And for GOD why is the favorites thing pissing me off. I can't seem to make it work or select anything with out selling the blaster???

Tribes is very unfriendly to newbies. If you have some friends that play it, or if you see a server with only a couple of people on it, hop on it and I am sure they will help you out.

Y'all are RIGHT when you say Tribes is tough on newbies. I got this game about a week ago ($6 at Best Buy w/ employee discount) and it's probably the BEST game I've played in a while. I'll warn anyone who's gonna get this game (or Tribes 2, i'm sure) - it's ADDICTIVE!!!!! I find myself joining some server, then before I know it 3 hours have passed..

It takes some major getting used to, but it ROCKS

Who is "General Error" and why is he reading my drive?

oh yeah its addictive. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif The netcode is what really attracts me. UT and Quake 3 came out, played them for a few days on the net, and went back to tribes. Its very playable for a modem player. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

anybody know where to preorder tribes 2 for less than retail (ie coupons).

Hard on newbies it is, but once you get use to it, you'll never go back to Q3A or UT. UT and Q3A is very similar, it's a fast paced shoot-em-up FPS. Tribes, on the other hand, does not allow you to do that (unless of course you are a heavy base-raping). It's more like accuracy, timing, strategy combined. Oh, one thing about the jetpack and how people fly high with it and you can't: jump, then immediately after jump press the right mouse button (it is advisable to leave the jetpack button as default). Hope that helps Ymaster =)

Why use FSAA when wearing your grandma's glasses have the same effects?

Also, the mods arent very good for it. I prefer base. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif Straight outta the box, some mods are just full of deployables and are really unbalanced.
