Tribes: Ascend

Archive: 7 posts

Tribes: Ascend is an upcoming free-to-play multiplayer-only first-person shooter part of the Tribes franchise. It is currently being developed by Hi-Rez Studios and was announced on March 11, 2011 at PAX East with an expected release in early 2012. It will be available as a digital download for Microsoft Windows, though Hi-Rez Studios haven't ruled out the possibility of an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 release in the future. Iconic aspects from previous Tribes games such as jetpacks and skiing will be featured in the game. Currently, the game is available to play in the form of a closed beta, with keys given randomly.

Loadouts and classes
Tribes: Ascend will feature a class-based loadout system. Each loadout specifies what type of armor the player has, along with what weapons and items they carry. Loadouts will only support three weapons; two in-hand weapons and one melee object, along with either grenades or mines and a pack. Players can select which loadout to use when either respawning or at an inventory station. Hi-Rez Studios has yet to reveal how many loadouts will be available at launch, though they did state that there will be at least 15 available during the closed and open beta, 9 are currently available. Loadouts may be acquired either through an upfront payment, or through playing the game for an unspecified amount of time. Paid-for loadouts will be available to the user instantly and permanently, while those who choose to unlock them through playing will have a much longer wait. Players will be given 3 free loadouts, the Pathfinder, Soldier, and Juggernaut when they first start playing the game. The Soldier is part of the medium armor class, and features a Spinfusor, Eagle Pistol, Energy Pack and grenade.

Hi-Rez will also sell cosmetic items such as player skins, along with boosters that allow players to gain tokens and experience at a faster rate. Players earn in-game credits during matches for killing enemies, repairing structures or capturing objectives. Credits are then used to buy vehicles, supply drops and base upgrades.

Game modes and maps
Hi-Rez Studios are currently testing Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch and Rabbit game modes. While some maps will retain the classic nature of the Tribes franchise with large open areas and base structures, others will have a more urban feel to them, featuring buildings and streets. Katabatic is one confirmed map for Tribes: Ascend, which originally appeared in Tribes 2, along with a revamped version of Broadside called Crossfire.

It's a great addition to the classic Tribes franchise and is currently in closed beta although keys are easy to come by. The file size is about 2 GB and require a few minor prerequisite downloads. Beta sign ups as well as the download are on the official site, http://tribesascend.com. It's a great game and definitely worth a checking out.

I look forward to seeing a few familiar faces on there!		2012-02-04 04:32:00

Oh boy, Tribes Ascend! Great stuff right there!

I've had it installed on my computer for a few months, but I've forgotten to play it. I believe my ID is Cola_64. If that doesn't work, it's likely Cola64,		2012-06-14 11:42:00
