I would argue that double/triple midair rocket kills in Quake (shooting a guy in midair with a rocket to bounce him up higher and then midair rocketing again for the kill, or a 3rd if hes full stack) are up there with it.
No use ranking them, but the kills in Battlefield where you jump out of you plane, destroy an enemy plane, then reenter your own plane are a pretty absurd demonstration as well.
This is the best montage in the game thus far, congrats on making it look awesome despite all the issues. Rooting for Prophecy to make an amazing Tribes game!
OMG... i love the franchise since the first game. I loved Ascend so much, got 15k+ hours playtime. I'm so excited and happy to see the franchise is coming back. Ty
Ngl, I really loved the ol' boomer arena and movement shooters, but somehow missed Tribes Ascend entirely until right after it shut down. I was really excited for the Finals when the first trailer dropped because it had some vibes and was sadly disappointed how much I was wrong. Super glad to (hopefully) play this time around.
@@ColonelBlair I do my best to try and not get too excited for new FPS-Z games, but your montage brought back a lot of t2 memories for me (which was my favourite of the series).. Hopefully they have an OCE region for the next playtest 🤞
There's back to back morter kills in the second last clip of the montage. The mortar currently has a very shallow arc and massive range, so I'd expect some changes there (bringing back the green smoke would be nice too!)
Agreed - it needs to be beefed up, in terms of look, shot and explosion. It does enough damage, but I'd like to see more arc, and a shorter instant explosion timer.
Just a reminder that you can still play T1 and T2 any time you want and they're still great games. The reason you can still play them is that they had private servers, mods, and user made maps. Any "Tribes" game without these things will just be another flash in the pan like Ascend.
The small game is right on. If it prospers to the big, base defense and vehicles all while having 128 players it's worth investing and if they stay in the lane.
Reminds me of old Tribes 2 vids...though with a little less "INCOMING BOMBER!" "QUIET!" "Sorry." "Is that all you got?" "No. Woohoo!" "Shazbot." Also, don't think I'd miss those 8 seconds of the Lush theme
Looks like Ascend at the moment but def plays differently... No health regen, no vehicles (yet), and movement is very different too. Takes some getting used to
This honestly looks like it's got the feel of Tribes 2, something some of the other remakes was lacking. I'm so hyped to play this, was a turret monkey back in the day.
Unfortunately not a lot of turret monkey action currently. The medium armor can deploy one small turret, but it's not very threatening & is destroyed easily.
@@ColonelBlair Game still looks good, but would be a shame not to have roles and tactics like T2. I feel like setting up and maintaining (or removing from the enemy) these defenses was a big part of the game
@@HE_Crashagreed I still remember renegades mod from t1. Setting up cameras, lasers, shield etc. Still feel 1 had the best gameplay out of them all.. This looks and feels too much like ascend which I didn't care for
The movement is quite different from previous tribes games - it's hard to compare it. It's a lot easier to get moving but currently a lot less jet power too. But still only in alpha so room to change.
I would need a massive and very detailed video about the whole meta about this commnunity around T2, T:A, midair 2, T3 ... I've been a full-blooded Tribes player since I was young, but I always lost the connection when official servers went down....
@@kipallen6538 Since I commented I've had a chance to try it. And it is "100%", but only for horizontal velocity! It's ridiculous that they would make inheritance opt-in only and still give people half-measures.
i need to see some movement tech. i'm don't wanna be soaring through the air with just hoping nobody hits a shot. i need control. some way to redirect my momentum
I am the =*= and {ZORN} oldf*g. This gives me some HiRez era Tribes vibes but I am not sure if it should be advertised as T1/2 successor. Where is the base building? Where are the endless maps and vehicles?
@@ColonelBlair it adds another layer to strategies and battles actually become multi stage plans. I would love to see something more than just another high speed shooter. Nice montage btw :>
@@ColonelBlair Do they plan on bringing vehicles back too? I read somewhere, currently its 5v5, but they plan on 32v32. I want to play this, because it seems they are gonna bring back old school tribes.
@@SomeRandomObserver I haven't seen anything in regards to vehicles, but I don't know how you do 32v32 Tribes without adding something extra in... vehicles seems like an obvious addition, but as far as I'm aware no announcement has been made on that.
I give them credit for trying, but I think they tried to do to put it out too fast and didn't capture what most of us loved about the older Tribes games. The big, grand scale was missing. Still, it was fun while it lasted - but I'm back playing Midair 2 again now.
This is just a montage of clips people shared which I edited into an action montage. It's not a trailer. The actual game has you using jetpacks to gain height and then frictionless boots to ski on the terrain to build up speed. You coordinate with your team to clear out or distract enemy defences while someone else on your team tries to fly by as fast as they can to grab the flag and bring it back to your base for capture. There's obv a bit more involved than just that but that's essentially the core of the capture the flag game mode which is the most popular in Tribes games.
Mmmh Shazbot!, energy based sniper rifle should be the only hitscan weapon in the game, get rid of the halo looking BS, lean into Faction specific aspects. Chain gun from t1 FTW IMO. Not perks, use backpacks. The driving force to modernize the game is what's wrong with it. Hope it's real old school.
New players who try this are going to be shocked how the missiles have momentum and aiming needs to be like you have 2000 ping. Yeah. Seems realistic, but feels like ass. Thats why everyone stopped playing it. How many times this game needs to be made till its actually playable? "But it has momentum bruh" Yeah, sure. Have some momentum with the 20 weekly player base.
Which previous Tribes game had a weekly playerbase of 20 not long after launch? I've played them all (besides Aerial Assault) and don't recall any of them having problems with their playerbase size (except Tribes: Vengeance which had the release of World of Warcraft to compete with). Some people appreciate a game with a higher skill requirement.
They won't be shocked, because (at least in the last playtest) the default missile launcher (aka spinfusor) shoots exactly where you aim it. The people in this video are using an alternate version of the spinfusor that has the momentum you describe.
C'mon man, just practice and get better at it and you will be able to do it too, the game looks and feels cool and it is even cooler when you pull off a good Blue Plate Special.
Midair Spinfusor kills are still the most beautiful demonstration of skill in any shooter.
They're just so satisfying.
Spy backstabs in tf2 are just as cool.
@@sorenvc please be joking

So surreal seeing Tribes back after all these years.
Ironically, just finished my annual play-through of Tribes Vengeance.
I NEED THIS GAME
Damn i was just looking up some old tribes 2 and tribes ascend videos and saw this :) very welcome to see another go at tribes
this is such a relief to see gameplay from someone who knows how to play it. awesome to see a familiar name from OCE/bittah land to boot.
Hopefully I can help convince them to add the AU region to the playtest ;)
Yeah, the official gameplay video I saw didn't flatter the game's movement mechanics at all.
instant flashback to 25 years ago. thank you.
Damn man, I loved Tribes Ascend, and this looks just like that. I signed up immediately. Had no idea this existed.
This vid is a much better hype vehicle than the first look teaser. VGCA
just saw this in my discovery queue and clicked request. downloading rn. cant wait
this game fuckin rocks lol this is awesome. just one game in and im loving it
Aw fuck yes, THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!
I'm so ready to play this and not be able to pull off any of these shots. 😎
I can tell you right now that the number of clips of mine in this montage is... 0 :)
This is the best montage in the game thus far, congrats on making it look awesome despite all the issues. Rooting for Prophecy to make an amazing Tribes game!
I don't think there's a lot of competition in that space yet haha - but happy to be #1 for now :)
Fishy!
Might have to make an almighty return for this one... Great vid AvA Col Blair
Need to bring some of those old clans back :)
Such a good quality video that T3R uses it on their steam page. that's crazy
I'm happy to have helped bring some extra hype :)
This is the video influencers needed to see.
OMG... i love the franchise since the first game. I loved Ascend so much, got 15k+ hours playtime.
I'm so excited and happy to see the franchise is coming back.
Ty
Whats your tribes ascend name?
Ngl, I really loved the ol' boomer arena and movement shooters, but somehow missed Tribes Ascend entirely until right after it shut down. I was really excited for the Finals when the first trailer dropped because it had some vibes and was sadly disappointed how much I was wrong. Super glad to (hopefully) play this time around.
Awesome video. Very cool that the community was involved with providing clips of the gameplay!
Thanks for providing your clip as well - fit in nicely.
Like the old days!!!
Fantastic editing, Col. 💯
Thanks man - always excited to get my hands on new Tribes/FPS-Z content :)
So keen for this! Tribes 1 & 2 hold such a special place in my heart. Hopefully not a let down
No offence but I keep seeing this - this is not going to be a game like 1 & 2, it'll be like Ascend.
@@konnigkratz yup but ascend had promise just ruined by balance and some issues with F2P model.
Not the big and complex maps of t1/t2 though.
that will be good enough for many people@@konnigkratz
gets my blood pumping!
Take my money!
now this looks more like it. thanks for making this video, i really do hope they can make a great sequel. they got my interest!
Im so fucking excited for this. I loved tribes ascend, i found it through TotalBiscuit.
RIP TB
They brought a lot of people into Tribes.
Wow! I haven’t seen this game in years happy to have it back😂😂
NIIIICE im so excited for the next playtest.
Not surprising for CB throw together the best T3 video on the internet 🔥
Don't make me blush
hoooooly shit this game looks awesome
I miss tribes so much lol
The fact that you now have to lead with the bolt sniper rifle is nuts. Can't wait to get gud :)
A montage to challenge the reign of the mighty Emperor Chad.
Whoa, what is this? is Tribes alive? When can we play this, lol, I gotta get on this shit
The next alpha playtest is happening in the next few days - you can request a key from tribes3rivals.com
Used to play BEML and TWL matches back in T2. I miss that game.
What was your T2 alias and what clan(s)?
Seeing CB release a new Tribes montage brings back all the good feels. Top quality as always mate 👌👌
Thanks, I'm always hanging around for more jetpacks & skiing :)
@@ColonelBlair I do my best to try and not get too excited for new FPS-Z games, but your montage brought back a lot of t2 memories for me (which was my favourite of the series).. Hopefully they have an OCE region for the next playtest 🤞
Mortars.. I want to see some Mortars flying :)

that's T3s mortar? looks like a grenade launcher.@@ColonelBlair
Agreed - it needs to be beefed up, in terms of look, shot and explosion.
It does enough damage, but I'd like to see more arc, and a shorter instant explosion timer.
Yeah, the mortar needs to be a shock and awe like effect. Like it was in T2. IMO@@ColonelBlair
So excited!!!!
I look forward to playing this, and also commentating on it, if they can put in an observer mode :)
TRIBES IS BACK BABY
Getting Blue Plate Specials is the best feeling in any shooter I've ever experienced and it's not even remotely close.
Just a reminder that you can still play T1 and T2 any time you want and they're still great games. The reason you can still play them is that they had private servers, mods, and user made maps. Any "Tribes" game without these things will just be another flash in the pan like Ascend.
0:09 Damn, I'm good.. 😎
Loved that clip
Bring it on!
The small game is right on. If it prospers to the big, base defense and vehicles all while having 128 players it's worth investing and if they stay in the lane.
Oh I’ve been waiting patiently for Tribes to make that comeback!! Well looks like I’m gonna put that PC together!! Again!😂 {THC}VIVAVILLA

Just thought I'd slip that in there ;)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I LOVE YOU COLONEL BLAIR!
Sweeeeeeeet! Had no idea this was on the cards...might have to come out of retirement.
Looks just like Ascend...does it play similar?
Looks like Ascend at the moment but def plays differently... No health regen, no vehicles (yet), and movement is very different too. Takes some getting used to
All I wanted was T2 with better gfx :)
I'd play that :)

The movement is quite different from previous tribes games - it's hard to compare it. It's a lot easier to get moving but currently a lot less jet power too. But still only in alpha so room to change.
let's go
Let's fuckin gooooo!!!!
really cool
I would need a massive and very detailed video about the whole meta about this commnunity around T2, T:A, midair 2, T3 ... I've been a full-blooded Tribes player since I was young, but I always lost the connection when official servers went down....
WE'RE BAAAAAAAAACK
Some of these shots make me very angry. LOL!
Is there disc jumping? Hopefully not for too much damage 😎👍
There is - I think it could use a little bit of extra oomph though.
@@ColonelBlair They all did after Tribes 2 😆
VVT
How's the projectile inheritance? Is it 50% like Ascend?
The DX has I believe 100%
@@kipallen6538 Since I commented I've had a chance to try it. And it is "100%", but only for horizontal velocity!

Redirect momentum? That's not the TRIBES way... :D
Very impressive, but you're forgetting the most important part.
Can I go [VGTA] [VGS] [VGTG] ?
Are they considering implementing any shifter mod properties in the game? Have they alluded to vehicles or higher player counts?
They've said higher player counts are on the agenda, but I haven't seen a commitment to vehicles at this stage.
@@ColonelBlair any idea regarding shifter elements like building and defense?

Is the flag music in the game. I NEED TO KNOW IS THE FLAG MUSIC IN THE GAME.
Not at this time
Still no vehicles 😢 There is a significant proportion of people who will need vehicles before contemplating playing.
@0:29 what happens here? was that a land mine on the flag?
yep that's correct

None as of yet, but they've been adding in new game modes here and there so it could happen!

Montages of Shad demolishing lobbies in 3, 2, 1...
Great game, needs more development but no vehicles? aw I loved large online tribes 2 with vehicles :(
Hopefully we can see them added soon
So, from my understanding, all you’re doing is jumping around shooting at eachother in the video game?
