Skiing. That's exactly the problem. There's no incentive to jet because of the focus on skiing, not to mention the stupidly slow energy recharge that is much slower than the other Tribes games. There are a metric forgetton of low hills, but a negligible amount of high hills.

Also that second comment is just stupid.

What would high hills do other than ruin skiing? There is a large amount of jetting already in game, mostly for dropping onto those small hills for speed. Use your creativity.

Every single complaint about any fps you have references a classic fps like half life or quake.

well he's got a point - ascend has almost no real "mountains" or large hills like tribes 2 had. they were great for building up enormous amounts of speed, or ramping up high into the air. most of the levels are really flat with small hills.

it's painfully obvious that you've never played the game, because the stat bonuses are tiny and the game is still 90% skill 10% pure luck, like it was in tribes 2.

hnngh look at all those stat bonuses and random dice rolls, this game is ruined FOREVER.

this is where jets come into play. Use them to propel yourself high, then drop into a bank.

Also holy stuff why doesn't anyone good play on Blood Eagle?

it's not just the speed bonuses that mountains provide, though. they dramatically effect the flow of the map, and how players move around.

the hills in that video are larger than the mountains on katabatic. i use them to force the tank to loose speed or risk damage.
