If youâre not one of the more than 300,000 players that participated in the closed beta test for Tribes: Ascend, your time has come. On February 24 you get to stop reading about what Hi-Rez Studios has done with your beloved Tribes franchise and experience it first-hand.
Oh I canât wait to see the looks on the faces of those 300,000 plus early players when the ânewbsâ come marching in this weekend. I imagine theyâll be grinning ear-to-ear as a wave of fresh meat joins the game theyâve been getting acclimated to for months. Even with Hi-Rezâs constant tweaking theyâre still familiar enough with the game to wipe the floor with newcomers all weekend long.
Hi-Rez even things out a bit with a new patch hitting the game prior to the open beta launch. Letâs see whatâs inside!
New game type, Arena Deathmatch, with two initial maps
New Capture The Flag map, Temple Ruins
New Team Deathmatch map, Inferno
Two new unlockable items for the Soldier class: Proximity Grenade and Utility Pack
New default suits for Doombringer and Brute
Ability to view either Blood Eagle or Diamond Sword skins from Class menu
Service supporting Name Change
Large number of bug-fixes and balance adjustments.
So the old guard wonât be on completely familiar ground when the bullets and other players start to fly, but theyâll hang onto their progress and unlocks, so itâs still pretty much their game.
