    I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.

    Yeah, I’m going to reserve my excitement for when I see gameplay footage or actually play it. Quake Champions looked really good in the beginning and then it ran like an internal pre-alpha. Tribes Ascend had so many OP hitscan weapons on release you thought you were playing Call of Duty. Waning general interest in “boomer shooters” and disastrous releases make these games more nostalgic memories than interesting future games in my mind.

      I think there are no hitscan weapons in the new one, at least currently.

    The guys who develop Midair will be pissed. Especially now that they open up their beta tests more and more 😐️

    Oh man, I didn’t quite have high speed internet yet and missed out on tribes in the yesteryear.

    Cool to see a storied franchise hopefully make a return.
