Sad thing is that Tribes Ascend was actually pretty damn good, a worthy successor to Tribes 2 even if not better than it. But it was miles ahead of that shitty Tribes Vengeance (thanks Irrational!). It's too bad Hi-Rez got greedy and ended up killing the entire franchise.
HiRez bought it, made Tribes Ascend which was a legitimately great game, and then proceeded to milk it dry for shekels with a cycle of introducing broken overpowered new weapons that you could either spend a long time to grind for or pay to unlock right away, wrecking balance, and then once people started unlocking them through grinding they'd nerf the weapons and introduce a new P2W set, keeping the game in a perpetual state of shitty balance. They also started adding crappy maps that weren't oriented towards speed, and removing good maps while blaming the community for it.I remember Tribes was a unique shooter IP because of how it integrated gunplay with hoverboard surfing. The last one I played was Tribes: Vengeance. Was Tribes 2 the peak of the series? What happened?
Midair 2 looks decent but I doubt it will ever take off as a Tribes game's success is solely dependent on the community size. Unless they have some grand marketing scheme to sell this game out to the public, it's likely to go the way of all the other old-school MP shooters.
Already abandoned by the devs.
Where's the zoomer button
Midair 2 looks cool, did you play the first one?
They abandoned it for SMITE. I recall Total Biscuit bitching about it back in the day.
Yeah, it wasn't very good. Scale of the game was even smaller than Tribes Ascend, the maps were bad and the unlock system was even worse.
Bloody hell, with only 3 months of early access? What a scam.
IMO they fucked it up with the micro transactions, and the awful map additions.
Aren't they busy selling professional version of Arma to military forces ? I think they already have a working business and don't need more games.
