it's not going to restrict competitive play - if bonuses restricted comp play, then how are there world of tanks, battlefield, and cowaduty competitive leagues?
vengeance wasn't a particular bad game on its own, but it was stuff compared to tribes 2. the levels were tiny, the game was slower, half the content was missing, it used a battlefield style vehicle spawn system, etc.
but the grappling hook, buckler, and urban levels were loving awesome, too bad the rest of the game was so blegh.

it still creates an imbalance between players that isn't skill-based! it's turned tribes into an rpg and frankly it's bullstuff
and that's because people are dumbstuffs and don't know how to do proper comp play, so they turn to imbalanced games in order to do it
Ector:
The game isn't really imbalanced. The majority of the upgrades are very minor, and the unlockable classes aren't really that amazing. I've only seen a few people move outside the defaults, anyway.
As for the Xp system, I still see no issue there. It rewards people who play well, without completely ignoring those who just weren't given a fair chance.

I can run UT3 on high at 60 fps on Deck and this game runs at 30 on the lowest setting, which happens to be "normal." There's also 2 settings. This game is poorly optimized, no question about it.

Well I don't blame it. It IS a closed beta after all. It's not even in stable condition to be an open one.
