Tribes 2 Features + Chatlog

Posted on Thursday, 19 October 2000 by CoBraLorD, source: Fragland
Wireplay has posted a chatlog from last night's chat with Dynamix' Dave Georgeson about their upcoming shooter Tribes 2 which gets the number 1 spot in the action/shooters section of our Upcoming Games article.
They talked about some features that will be in the game, and there's a list of them to make it easier :)[BLOCK]
  • Tribes 2 should work very nicely over a modem.
  • There will be no 'open beta'.
  • The new Map Editor is a lot better than the original one for Tribes.
  • Ski-ing will be controlled by air resistance.
  • There will be plenty of support for mod teams.
  • You can now place deployable turrets on ceilings and walls.
  • Tribes 2 Configs will be stored online.
  • Tribes 2 will have 'integrated community features' - including leagues and message boards.

  • 'Professional Broadcast Features' similar to QuakeTV will be included in the post-release rollouts for the game.
  • Heat signatures have been implemented for the missiles so that suits can now avoid getting locked onto by not using their jets so much.
  • US and European/UK release dates should be very close together.
  • There will be built-in voice comm support.
  • The MPB now has a missile turret.
  • Skins will be much easier to create than in the original Tribes[/BLOCK]
