Insomniax 'light' for Tribes 2

HAH! I always said IX 9c was the most balanced version of tribes and he proves my point!

T2 sux!

 

So then tell me why somany people bash IX and say that it was a shitty mod. Then always choose base over IX. One word

EMP!

The sissy fags that were soo used to having there jets didnt know how to play the game running on the ground w/o power! nore knew how to fight basically w/o an E pack.

I can tell ya this going from IX to base occasionally I found that using an Epack was a fun thing and that most of the lamer CG whores had a hard time taking me out .

But all I ever heard when peeps that used to play IX that came back for a brief period say "This mod sucks to many weapons for peeps that cant aim". When they really should of been saying "I suck I cant beat peeps at this mod like I used to cuz now everyone knows how to use the weapons"

I loved IX and would enjoy playing it, if and when it ever comes back!!!

 

Base was not really balenced in Tribes 1. It gave all the power to the O and not much for the D. If you wanted Defence you had to have people sitting on the flag.

With all the scripts and tricks like disk jumping and skiing, IX proved to be more balenced becuase it had ways to stop that sort of thing. Like the EMP.

The reason people say that IX sucked is becuase they never played it. They would join a server get their asses owned and then cry about how shitty it was when the fact is they just sucked at it.

They try to lump all MOD's into one. They think that any MOD in T1 was Shifter or Renegades and those MODs did suck.

IX was a better game then base, and i'd bet you that if the origonal release of Tribes was IX they would have all loved it.

 

Wha?! Excuse me but how does an EMP stop a skier? They had a disk jump script?

Like I said before IX 9c was very balanced. D was not invain

Base players are soo much better than IX players though. I loved Base. It was great because if you were on a 5150 server you were always in spawn fighting eachother. Every now and then you would pick up an E-pack or would get lucky and find a working INV to get some goodies from.

I always felt spoiled in IX but after becoming the master fightern spawn in Base you were awsome in IX. Just slap on smurf name, grab heatsink, and kick the crap out of your buddys.

I used to get duel VMP kills. Meaning I would lock one person and move so I would waste two people.

I think I did that to Queen once.

 

Yes overall base players were better duelers than IX mod players. They had to be. I say this only because hardly was there ever an inventory station operating. So fighting in spawn became second nature to most base players. Turret defense was bascially nonexistant in base. One shot on a remote turret and its inoperable. Sorta wasting your time deploying the crap. Agreeing with mtx, that 9c was prolly one of the most well balanced periods for Tribes 1. Ppl like myself that enjoyed defense, could atually make a difference by setting up turrets and protecting the flag. The best feeling in the world is knowing someone is a HO whore and loves to smash bases, then join the opposite team and only focus on them. Then once the cocky HO gets dealt with time and time again, because of the stellar defensive skills, they would drop. Pansy! Unfortunate for the IX mod is this. Ppl became so good that no noOb in their right mind would play. So basically, everytime you joined an IX mod game, you were almost guaranteed an intense game. I miss dem days a lot.

 

I used to smurf the name TheENEMY. ANyone ever remember me as that? I don't know I used a lot of names.

 

I never smurfed.

 

I always smurfed..

 

Me smurfed as >>>----> and stomped a many as KickedOut oh and my fave for the VMP whores was to run right up to them and run circles around them and watch there missles go straight up there arse!

 

IX Mods

The CDL originally started out as a Base Clan, then migrated to a little known mod that was surfacing at that time called IX. We experimented with the mod and found it to be a delightfully balanced game mod and we decided to stick with it.

As the different updates and changes to the mod were developed by a dedicated and tireless *IX*Savage, we saw some imbalances rear their ugly heads, but they were soon revamped and moderated.

It has been some period of time since I compared the 9c mod and the 9d mod, but I do remember that the 9d struck me as the most balanced game of Tribes I have ever played. The Offense and Defense as whole teams were pretty much squarely even up and this made for tremendous playability. The booster babies could still get their kicks if they worked it right, and the fatty/hs guys made good use of the ski and the rocket launcher or dj to propel themselves around maps covered with avengers and flak. The light hs cappers that were good duelers had a chance against the "evil" EMP if they knew the maps well and learned the critical art of dj'ing at pivotal points. The medium booster was a KILLER defensive unit with a rocket launcher and provided a wild duel for those that got good in that load-out.

I really would love to see this mod come out again. Some of my best memories in the CDL are from this period of time.

T1 was and will remain a classic for all eternity, whether Rayz likes it or not! haha!

Someone should give Rayzer some demo's from T1 and let him see IX the way we all saw it. Anybody got a good Broadside or DX'ing demo?

 

Wow.. doesn't it bring back good memories? T1 was soo fun. It had a good balance of play and talk.

The flame wars.. you know I never really participated in the Flame wars but I remember everyone always talking about them. I remember soo far back that I remember when Homicide was in CoD with me and Ms Snaggle. So long ago....

 

That was even before my time. h0mi was in WMD when i started playing.

 

I dunt care what you say...........T1 Blows

 

No. T1 was the best game ever created.

 

Well I've been around since the beginning

CoD used to be a great team. Nothing beat V3 though.

Rayzer is just an gayzer.. he doesn't understand.

 

Anybody remember who they played their first match against?

Who did you get your first win over, and who gave you your first smack down?

For me, my first match ever was against TwaT when i was in {DoB}, we lost.

I didn't get to taste the thrill of victory until my first match with (KM) and I think it was against |DuH|, but it could have been {T|R}
