Tribes: Vengence Beta

Who downloaded it? If you want it, you can sign up for free at Fileplanet, I'm not gonna link it because I'm lazy. But for those who did, what did you think?

Personally, I thought the jetpack and ski based combat was hilariously fun. The weapons are (mostly) effective, although some are awkward to use. This game is all about getting higher than your opponent and conserving jetpack fuel. In the air, it's quite hard to hit you- especially since bullets seem to have an unnatural amount of lag. But on the ground, you're a sitting duck.

The air vehicles are okay, but the vehicle physics for the buggy absolutely BLOW ASS. They're so twitchy and floaty and it has the virtual mass like it was made of cardboard. Plus, this is reeeeeally buggy...anyone else get those clipping errors where they'll be stuck in one spot, twitching whenever they try to move? Granted, that's why this is a beta, not a demo, but they can't release the game in this state.

Anyone else have thoughts?
