Team Death Match should be renamed Team Rabbit, it's more focused on killing the guy with the flag than killing players.

not really, if you're playing it right. there is a game-mode called Rabbit which is more for that purpose.

Which is basically a free for all version of TDM, sure it may not be about killing, but it still revolves around the flag.

i'm not sure there are carefully delimited brackets, it's just in your general area. however the game does markedly start to shift when you get into the rank10+ areas, where people have at least a modicum of common sense and skill. when you get into servers with people mostly around rank20/20+, then it's an entirely different game. again, like the difference between two kids rallying a ball at school and wimbledon. the game's mechanics facilitate an entirely different level and strategy of play.

also i have no fucking idea why you're judging skill and ability in TDM. if you don't play CTF, you're not playing tribes.

also, also, lol at a rank6 saying the game is "broken" and making comments like "it can't be that good as i've never heard of it". remind me to automatically ignore anything you ever say about fps games again, scrub.
Whenever I queued on my own under rank 8 I'd be the highest rank in a game. After 8, the game seems to not give a fuck, I was getting ranked with anything <20. Now I'm rank 10 and just getting stomped

maybe make a three paragraph post about inheritance and how no one has ever heard of tribes so you can deflect the fact you're bad.

I like how you talk as if you're pro. Fact is we've only ever played one fps game in common and that was BF2. And you were pretty fucking awful.

Well, 'cause I've read inheritance and kinda sounded like it was directed at me in a way.

i can guarantee i've never played bf2 with you? when was this? because i played bf2 pub in about 2 communities and bf2s wasn't one of them. the rest of the time was private ladder matches and i would remember if i ever played you there. so i think you know as well as i do that your comment is based in beautiful abstract nothingness. really cute that you feel the need to desperately refer to it though.

and i don't talk as if i'm a pro at this game. i'm just not making whine comments saying it's terrible because i suck at it. that's you doing that. l2p.

just played a round as a techie

was kinda fun, luckily I had a team that was constantly destroying more than just the generator so I was jumping around repairing everything

managed 10:10 k/d

such a diverse game this, I took absolutely no notice to the flag capping (aside from one time I was repairing a force field on the flag and the capper died and punted the flag to me and I finished the cap, was lol'ing quite hard)

pretty cool to think in the first games where I was grabbing the flag at 100kp/h there were techies repairing the base that I hadn't even noticed, and probably brutes and jugs destroying the defences too. Awesome game this, just gets better the more you play.

'Private ladder matches'?? Is that some fucking joke. Name your team, name the ladder, name any player who was even remotely good that you played with or against. Please cut the bullshit. I bumped into you in pubs (mainly the 1st-IB server) and you were woeful even by pub standards- I'm talking 24/7 g36e-level bad.

I'm not whining about the game because I'm getting owned. I'm doing just fine rolling every game in the low ranked 'noob island'. I'm just questioning if the game is worth getting good at. I had never heard of Tribes 2 because it never had a big competitive scene; if it was a big game it would have been everywhere. Fact is it was massively overshadowed by games like CS and Quake and I have no doubt that that was due to its niche mechanics like inheritance. The T:A beta started without inheritance and was only put in eventually because the veteran Tribes community asked for it.

If the game explodes I might play it seriously. In which case we'll see who's better at it in 6 months.

lol 24/7 g36e bad. you must be mad by my comments. because you know you are talking bullshit. it's so funny that you are fabricating this stuff because i called out your comments about tribes. how insecure and silly of you. and yeah great job you can check my steam profile for a name-drop! that sure proves it, you definitely played with me often.

yep see you in 6 months nerdlinger.

lmao yeah lets have a face-off over a supposed encounter we had in a game 4-5 years ago where neither of us have any proof of said encounter. this is going to go really well.

maybe just stop making dumb comments about tribes when you admittedly haven't played much of the game at all? oh i dunno... that seems like the modest and usual thing that people would do when learning a new game. you're the one stepping into here with some pr0 swagger and down-talking the game and its history just because you're no good at it. which suggests a lot more ego than my own comments. and fyi tribes did have a pretty massive competitive scene... not sure how you missed it? i didn't take part in it but i knew about it in the early tfc days. it was before my time, personally, but i'm not sure where you're getting it from that quake and cs were the only two games being played at LAN? you're my age, right? not sure how you're such an authority on these matters. smacks of pr0 swagger and ego, again.
