I keep hearing that this isn Tribes and its not StarSiege, but whats with all the talk about jetpacks, skiing, and the references to StarSiege?
It’s hard to say this strong enough, “This is not Tribes and not StarSiege!” This its own game and it has a new approach, new equipment, and a new goal. The reason you hear a lot of Tribes comparisons is because this was once a mod of Tribes: Vengeance and Tribes is part of the StarSiege universe. Also, there will be a much more limited form of jetting for standard infantry (not to be confused with SCARABs) and there will be absolutely no skiing. As for StarSiege, it’s the only concrete thing we’ve experienced so far and it is 2845’s predecessor so comparison is natural.
