I was a Tribes 1 "veteran", and I enjoy tribes Vengeance a lot. It DOES have a lot of neat features removed [mortar laser sighting, etc], but none of these features "ruin" the game and its unique jet-packing, fast paced experience is still extremely satisfying.

Sure, its steamlined, and you may not play it for as long a period as tribes 1, and there are some annoying gameplay decisions [laser sniper rifle should not have 10 rounds of ammo, imho], but these hardly detract from the unique gameplay that this game still has.

Frankly, I think this game suffers from a) not enough marketing vs. the higher profile titles, b) a snobby, elitist fanbase [puts flamesuit on] and c) a lot of people who were turned off by possibly one of the worst game launches ever [tribes 2].

I hope this patch comes out, and people give this game the chance it deserves. It is a fun, fast paced game with jet-packing madness, and it's great to have a graphically up-to-date game that takes over from something like quake 3 etc, that you can jump into and have 15 mins to an hour+ of fun any time you like.

What's missing? Some of the more advanced features could EASILY be put into the game via mods. And players. Where the hell is everyone. Oh, and it could use a few more damn levels. Other than that, I would definitely urge anyone looking for a fun multiplayer experience [I consider the single player campaign "gravy"] to give this game the attention it deserves.
