Had about 45 minutes to check it out the other night and got a few rounds in.  Wish I had more time to spend with it since Starsiege: Tribes was a big part of my teenage gaming days.

Im playing a bit in T:A a bit and im realy bad at it, never played Tribes before(therefore can't compare to the earlier games). Started playing in beta, and the game went live few days ago. Here is a link if you want to play a ref link offcourse: https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/?referral=140355&utm_campaign=email

Played a bit of it, enjoyed it for its "old school" nature and all that. Not sure I'll keep it up though. Maybe I've been corrupted by the late 2000s, just from an RP angle, not a huge fan of the map style (unless it was some televised combat tournament)

Got some time today to sit down and play this for a few hours.  Damn that was fun.  Like Unreal Tournament LAN party fun.  I've become fairly handy with the Thumper and love the versatility of the basic Soldier class, but I've got some XP to burn now and am thinking of picking up the Raider class.  If you haven't given Tribes a look yet, do so.  Here's a sign up referral link.  And if you aren't convinced, here's a video review.  In-game handle is Hegemon4Hire if you'd like to friend up.

I play T:A too. Ingame name is NEWater and I love trolling people with the Doombringer class.

i've been playing more CnH lately than CTF, find it more fun given how 2-3 guys need to team up to take a well defended position.
