Top ways to Improve Tribes Ascend
February 22nd, 2012

Tribes Ascend was patched again today, and this time a new map was added. I was hoping to see something change with this new map: Flag placement. Hi-Rez has it all wrong. Flags should NOT be out in the open. The gameplay has quickly devolved into a Pathfinder (one of the loadouts with top speed) [...]

On February 2 patch 0.1.742 released for Tribes Ascend. Before this patch, I was not impressed with Tribes Ascend (TA) at all. For some reason it didn’t feel like Tribes to me.

Graev showed me this picture last night. It perfectly shows how the minimap in Battlefield games has regressed over the years. Since the first battlefield game, minimaps have been getting progressively worse, save for maybe some redeeming qualities in BF2′s. (Click to enlarge) Interestingly, this picture represents, to me, more than just how minimaps have [...]

I’ve been playing a ton of Battlefield 3 now that Caspian Border is available. Metro was fun, but this is Battlefield. I cut a clip from what I streamed earlier.
