Perhaps you should submit some more generalized articles to gamedev. A lot of their articles are old and stale.

Alright... I'm not going to vote since I'd prefer just to make an uber post. My opinions can basically be summed up by explaining what I think game types are good for, not only in terms of fun but also in terms of how it helps a player increase his or her skill. I've included all game types I've...

This would hardly be anything like cheating, an aim bot, or similar. It's merely a HUD overlay showing where you're actually firing, rather than the crosshair which is almost universally wrong. It has no concept of depth, enemy location, or anything like that. If there's a crosshair in the...

I don't think these two groups are mutually exclusive. I am a proper counter-example ;);

10 nanoseconds of hot thrusting and then it's over. You never can satisfy me, Legions.

Voice communication is great for pubs in strategic FPS games where the penalty for death is high. Red Orchestra comes to mind as a good example. A bullet will almost always kill you and you have a limited number of respawn waves to complete your objective. Clear and concise communication is...

That or everyone will move on to a new game a few months later because nothing has changed and it's a shell of a game. Honestly, Legions should have never been made public. It's not finished and for some reason you guys think it is finished and a full game, which is a problem.

The LR in Tribes worked so well because of the map sizes, number of players per server, and base assets. O-sniping was never really an issue and was an amazing weapon choice to take down cappers along with the CG. Right now the LR has a damage dropoff (forget the range) as well as ammo (which...

How exactly is linking to a video showing the construction of a Klein bottle from a fundamental polygon immersed in E^3 and cutting it to obtain a Möbius strip proof that you "already know what it [4th dimension] is"? E^4 (which is where the Klein bottle exists without self-intersection) is four...

Actually we don't see the world in 3D anyway, we see it in 2D with parallax (or if you want to get mathematical you can check out projective geometry which is how all rendering libraries work). If we were to see in 3D we would see all points as they actually are, not projected onto our retina to...

It did. The story telling was brilliant. They didn't give me any motivation for destroying those solar panels, or sniping that dude on the concrete block, I had to use my imagination to tell me why I was a murdering psychopath. The storyline was a real cliffhanger too. I destroyed the solar...

Tribes was a failure? What are you smoking. Tribes 1 had 1,000 fold more players than Legions ever did. Tribes 2 almost certainly topped Tribes 1 even with the rocky start and the Dynamix shutdown, it did at least in terms of profit anyway. It left a gigantic mark on the industry. Countless...

Sup man. Yeah, been a while.

By that logic we should stop playing all of these new fangled games. I mean, Wolfenstein 3D had guns and a first person perspective way back in 1992, and there were games before it that had those things. We should just go back to playing those, all games since are exactly the same after all...

Because those of us who have played Tribes since day one know a lot about the genre and a lot about what works and what doesn't. None of us are advocating Legions copy Tribes exactly, but there's a lot to be learned from Tribes. There's also plenty of stuff in Tribes that won't fit in Legions...

To be legendary I think you need to have more than a dozen players. Alright, let's talk shop for a bit. Legions has very repetitive gameplay and it's very simplistic. If Legions were an RTS it would have a single building where you produce a single unit type, some of which you leave at home for...

This isn't Halo =P.

I'll only comment on #3. I do agree there should be deployables. I'd also like to see base assets and better loadouts (packs, grenades, mines, beacons). Right now the game is extremely simplistic. However, the way some of this stuff will work will necessarily be different from Tribes. I actually...
