T2 Ix

Wow! New IX for T2!!!!!! Count me in!

 

That's a booster all right.

 

and by the looks of it, it also doubles as a nice portable self destructing personell satchel unit (as when you overheat your boosters) Boohaa!!!!!

 

can anyone make an AVI out of that? I don't have T2 installed and i am curious to see it.

 

I don't know how.

 

I have a TV out on my vid card and plan on making videos of my T2 recordings... heh

although i dont think theres going to be the number of players playing this mod like there was in t1 ix, i'm still gonna play it and have a blast doing it, i mean after all, why are we all here postin on this board? cuz of savage's mod right? (for those that didnt play t1 ix, -CDL- was there in t1 ix and i believe this URL was started then, i think) all i wanna do is get in a phatty and strap on that booster and plow my ass straight into the mountain just to watch the sparks fly!!!

after thinking about it a bit, i dont see any need to include the emp grenade launcher, i mean after all, the speed is so slow now why bother putting someone in molasses whilst attempting to ski, thats like adding insult to injury, come'on, give'm a break, altho that was my fav combo, emp, RL, or mine RL(instead of mine disc). give'm a sportin' chance

 

I think for IX T2 they should combine the Rocket and the VMP.

For those of you who didn't play IX, the VMP was the 'Vengence Missle Pack'. Basically, the VMP fired missles in quick sucession. To use it, you pointed at a target and it would 'scan' the target for a few seconds and then fire a bunch of missles really fast.

he regular rocket launcher fired when you hit the button every time. The cool thing was, if you pointed right at a guy, and hit fire, it locked on to them. No waiting for the heat signature, just lock.

A combo of these 2 would be awsome. Imagine a rocket launcher you could duel with, and also had the option of firing 4 missles at once, so you could actully take out a turret. That would be great.

I do think that the EMP needs to be in the game. It offsets the booster nicely, and is one of the things that really defined IX. The other gun I hate to say that has to be there in IX, is the Mag gun. For those that never played IX, imagine spawning with an elf gun, that had half the range, and was twice as powerful. The gun would pull people out of the sky, and hold them. After it sucked out all their energy it sucked out their life, and they were ripped apart.

I hated that gun with a passion, but I miss it every time I spawn.

 

shit, i completely forgot about that shit dane, now i see why sav put that shit it, and i remember countless times it being the best defense against those fuckin flyin' fatties............hehehehe like i never used to be a flyin' phatty.......oops

 

MAG FAG!

Hehe

 

Well from what I sw in the demo the Mag didnt pop them that was the funnest part about the gun.

The sounds were cheezy too IMO get back the original sounds that IX had in that original Mod dont chage anything to the rockets or VMP leave them alone.

Emp needs to have that after effect of the short circuit like similar to when you get cocklanced.

My 2 cents worth

Cheers KO

 

Well you know I never played T1, don't ever care to, so my perspective.

Mag Gun....Ummm people bitch about the elf now, personally I think that is just fuken ghey, to be able to kill someone inside 5 seconds with a weapon that requires no skill and you have no defense against is just retarded.

The booster thing looks really sweet, just watching that HO move around made me scard, I can see waves of HO coming over a hill with that crap strapped on. Looks cool.

That tank was ghey, it did no damage, i have a bad feeling the graphics of the shot will turn your fps into crap.

Liked the double chain gun and flack cannon.

Cool idea having to deploy the base and the turret seperatly.

Granade launcher that shoot missiles looks pretty cool.

If the mod doesn't have a cocklance, I won't play it.

Savage was always very meticulous about game balance. He made the mag gun the way it was for a reason. booster babies.

Savage is a brilliant man.

Did you know he put a cloak pack, flak cannon (basically like an aa turrt), sentry turrets, missile launcher, bomber, and a shotgun (which is suprisingly similar in function to the shocklance) in tribes 1?

 

Sav is da bomb...

The shoulder rocket launcher as you see it in T2 was never an idea in T1 until Sav brought it in. All that Queen says here is true. The shotgun, one of my personal favs , is a one shot HO killer just like the lance. It was the same way in HO killing; you had to come from behind for the one-shot kill.

Rayz, you would like the shotgun...
