108101 Have any of you guys checked out this game yet? I've been playing through the beta and can say it's one of the rare free to play games that is worth the time playing! It's unique because of it's 'skiing' aspect, which is what the game revolves around. Players use jetpacks on their heels which let them 'ski' across all surfaces, and maps are huge so players are often going at speeds ranging from 70-250km/h. There's lots of different classes, and each have different roles. Some specialize in fast movement for flag capping, another on defending with mines and miniguns, there's the engineer, also a class with mortars. There are no kill streaks but players get points inside of matches for doing pro-active activities such as killing, defending the flag, and repairing, and these can be spent on vehicles or orbital strikes, to name a few things. My main con is that without paying, it can really be a grind to unlock some stuff. I'd suggest focusing on one or 2 classes to focus unlocks on. IMO Pathfinder (the flag capper) and Doombringer (ultimate flag defense) are two great options, because they are polar opposite on the spectrum of gameplay, so you can alternate to experience the rush of a 300km/hour flag steal, with the stopping power of the Doombringer. I've played these 2 classes over 30 hours and am still having a blast with them. I'd recommend watching a few youtube vids and check it out, it's already having a huge positive impact on the pc gaming scene. (btw lmk if you sign up with my referral link in my sig. It gives a huge boost to ingame XP that is needed to unlock some of the classes, and is a real pain to grind out myself) Tribes Ascend - Account creation (https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/?referral=1625183&utm_campaign=email) 108102spinfusor rifle 108103 108104Doombringer's minigun in action 108105 108106base under attack
