T:V from a T2 POV

Posted by: Mhaddy at 13:17 PM 

We've all read the previews from the big sites, IGN, Gamespot, and Gamespy, to name a few. But, what about the average Tribes player? Celios, a casual T1 and competitive T2 player, wrote up his thoughts on the Tribes:Vengeance beta and posted it on TeamWarfare. Here's a snip:

Spawning:
Probably the best thing that has changed spawning-wise is the ability to select your spawn spot (want to be at the main base? Just takes one click. Wanna be dropped at the rover? You’re there.) Keep in mind however, that you don’t pick exactly where to spawn, only the spawnsphere. Regardless, this is already far more efficient than T1 and T2.

IFFs (Indicator Friendly/Foe):
In the latest patch, these have been changed back to the standard Green/Red rather than coloring based on ‘race’ (Imperial, Blood Eagle, etc.) It’s also important to note that the flag carrier no longer has a special waypoint and that all enemy IFFs will disappear if a sensor is disabled.
