    cos TFC sucked after CS, which sucks after DoD, which is crap without an irish server, and i'm owed a birthday present, (19th sat 28th, mad hatter, blackrock, your not invited)

    i'm thinking of looking into tribes (since it robbed my fu<kin favourite server)

    gimme some reasons why it beats HL multiplayer in no more than 300 words

    10 1/2) Having tribes 2 makes you more attractive to women.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,078 ✭✭✭theCzar

    4) Good Vehicles
    5) Good Game Modes
    6) It's the sequel to tribes, which was, in my oppinion the best multiplayer game ever.
    7) If you have a PC to back them up, brilliant graphics.



    If there's one thing I hate, it's people.

    Sorry - I can confirm that it won't make you more attractive to women.

    My girlfriend says it's:

    "excessively teenage-y" [Censoring is "g e y" btw]

    I say:

    "but darling, you love my youthful sense of fun"

    She says:

    "...yeah right..."

    Kix I though your girlfriend was more of a kid that you smile.gif (dont tell her I said that). but on the more attractive to girls/women front that is a blant mis-truth. In fact it will make girls mad at you and you will not see girls anymore due to its addictive qualities (its the new number one cause in marrige breakups smile.gif ) and hey if you need to hear a womens voice there is always one in the game smile.gif . Also this game can incite you to violance due to the fact if you share only one phone line with another T2 palyer fist fights breakout over who gets to play each night smile.gif All in all its well worth the money and will give you hours and hours on end of eurphoria smile.gif due to the team play element. Just imagine playing soccer online where your team and the nme are all real players. Now imagine each player with a vast array of weapons if you can imagine that and think that would be a cool team play game multiply that by 10 and you get close to how cool t2 is online.

    PS any map makers think they could do a soccer mod??? "Oh my word Keane just mowed down his whole team with that chaingun smile.gif "

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it! biggrin.gif

    The graphics are WAY more advanced and stuff is tweaked, but essentially, they're almost the same looking.

    i have 350mhz and 128ram with TNT2 Ultra, will itrun the blighter without seizing up?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    i have a p3 500 tnt2 and 196mgs ram. It runs good enough for jazz, nothing spectacular like, but good enough. 30 fps dropping to 10 or 15 in fights.
    Modem performance seems good on the gameshop server.

    No need to move house yet me-laddo!

    The NetCode is fantastic. You will go a bit haywire once every so often, but I play quite well off a 56K (as does my housemate).
