Holy shit, this game is already amazing. If you like "arcade" shooters where movement matters just as much as aim (quake, UT) or ever enjoyed any tribes games, you have to try this. Its a bit different as far as weapons go (its all class-based), but once you get used to it, the system seems solid. Its in closed beta right now, but I signed up to get a key and had one in my email 8 hours later, so I don't think it'd be a problem for anyone to get keys. Seriously; it's fucking amazing. https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/ |

I'll signup and give it a shot. The original Tribes was really popular...I just don't know if HiRez is up for the task. I enjoyed Global Agenda but it got really boring pretty quick. |

I played the beta last month. I uninstalled it after playing two full games. It's a F2P game, so in order to access anything other than the basic starter class you have to buy stuff. Even if you buy all the content, you're still going to be pubbing with random people who have nothing unlocked. At least with Global Agenda everyone had access to the same gear. The weapons were terrible given that you can build up so much speed and zip around the map (try leading a shot with the disc launcher on someone going max speed through the map). The UI is also absolutely horrid (even worse than Global Agenda). The gameplay itself is fun, but overall the game has too many issues to make it worthwhile. |

It is an F2P game, but with like all F2P games micro-transactions are pretty much needed to enjoy the game to the full enjoyment, 20$ is how much I spent and I already have days already clocked into the games, its incredibly fun. Though it isn't for everyone, and being new to PC gaming outside of TF2, you should take my opinion with a grain of salt. I personally enjoy it though. |

I heard that they changed it (or I didn't understand the original system) so you can now unlock the classes (and gear?) through gameplay. That makes it better. I personally didn't care for the game, though. I thought Global Agenda was much better. |
