UT vs. Tribes2

[lordmeatball]

I've played UT for the last year-and-a-half. I'm bored. How does Tribes2 compare to UT?

Tribes 2 is an awesome game. It has a little bit of UT's intensity, but it's more spread out.

Kind of a cross between a FPS and a RTS in terms of intensity. I love it. Graphics are great.

I got it for $20, and even though I don't have a good internet connection, I play it.

If buttpluginside gets banned, I'll be so happy I'll even go buy an Intel.

It always baffles me when people say that Tribes2 has great graphics...I run the game at 1024x768 in 32 bit color with all of the options turned on, yet I still think it looks pretty crudly ((personal opinion)). The player animations don't look very fluid (vs Q3), nor does the terrain look very good. I admit, the large playing fields are pretty fun, but I just thought that the game would look a whole lot better than it does.

What card do you have?
I don't like the way Quake 3 looks, so we're even

I have a GeForce 2 MX 64meg from Hercules.

are you kidding, bored of UT??you must be out of your mind!
i think UT is one of the best MP games ever...tribes2 cannot match it's intensity, it's action, the weapons....
i played tribes2 a bit and got bored, but UT, man now you'r talking.(no wonder it's game of the year)
anyway, to what difficulty level did you get versus the bots?

Bots?? Did you say bots? Why in the world would I play against bots? Even if you have the bots set to godlike, all you have are very fast and very accurate bots. You are still playing against a computer.

I play mostly CTF. I like the team play when I play with other friends. Some of the guys that play on the same server are incredibly good.

I have been playing UT since it came out. Actually before it came out, when it was a Epic/3DFX demo. What was that, like 2 years ago? I'm just looking to mix it up a little. Maybe I will try an add-on patch, like that fortress mod.

I'm running a PIII 866 with 256mb of Crucial RAM with a GeForce2 GTS 64mb card. I've played Starsiege: Tribes, and I didn't notice much of an improvement in the graphics from Tribes 2 over Tribes. I take back the player animation statement...I took another look last night. What I meant to comment on was how the way the legs don't seem to interact with terrain very realistically. But then again, I'm sort of comparing it to MechWarrior 4. Now that's a beautiful game...wow. I run it at 800x600 with 2x anti-aliasing, and it's beautiful. I love the way the articulated feet actually conform to terrain. It'd be nice if all games looked like that.
