Tribes Ascend

Downloaded it yesterday, played it for a little bit. Couldn't help but laugh when I heard hearing people shout SHAZBOT.

Game was fun, although I'd much rather just pay $50 upfront for the game and not deal with freemium bullshit and unlocks.

I'll probably make this game my backup for a little while when I'm not play L4D2, but the rather crazy amount of experience needed to unlock weapons (something like 100,000 to get an alternative to that crappy shotgun for the medium armor class) is a bit obnoxious.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I imagine they're also trying to get you to make that first purchase so you get the forever 50% exp bonus, as well. I mean, I got something like 3k in one round last night, so if that magically turned into 4.5k it would really make things go a lot faster.

Also unlocked the sniper class. Holy cow what a joke. A fully charged shot does absolutely nothing to a heavy. The only way I felt the smallest bit useful is if I'm trying to pick off people running away who are almost dead. Then I feel bad for kill stealing. =\

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Apparently I just got to be a high enough level now where I'm put on servers with people that have all the guns unlocked. Gotta say I don't feel the gun balance isn't quite where I'd like to see it as some loadouts just seem way more powerful than they should be.

Also, the lack of any sort of decent way to get teamwork going really bothers me, and is probably what's preventing me from actually putting a few bucks down since I'm not sure how long I'll actually play it.
