The Day Has Come

As Menzo had promised, a large update was posted at GameSpot yesterday. The update includes an interview, many new pictures, and a new video. This update isn't just the same old, same old as many have been before but reveals a new weapon and vehicle. Both of which look very enticing. Here's a snippet from the interview to give you an idea of what I mean:

GameSpot: Tell us about the new weapon in Vengeance. What are its uses, and how does it fit in with the other classic Tribes weapons, such as the chaingun and the disc launcher?

Michael Johnston: The first new weapon we're announcing is tentatively called a rocket pod. It fires a cluster of spiraling rockets that constantly move in the direction you're aiming, which lets you control them while they're in the air. Tribes 2 had a missile launcher, but it was an auto-aim weapon that we didn't really like. The rocket pod is a replacement for that weapon. It's designed to be particularly effective against larger targets, such as vehicles, because you can potentially hit them with every rocket in the cluster. It can be used against players, too, but you might end up hitting them with only a few rockets.
