They're making vehicles cheaper..? Why? Just as in every other Tribes games, the vehicles in T:A are overpowered. A single decent pilot in a Shrike can single-handedly defend the flag. No capper will be able to escape him. If anything, they should have made vehicles more expensive.
yeh the shrikes are way outta hand.. mainly because there is no decent anti-air weapons... just lock-on missles which are easily avoidable
base turrets should have an anti-air version too
the tank is bullshit too but you can kill them in a number of ways |

With market share rising and Apple having an average of 91 days to fix holes, I can see it getting worse, a lot worse.
thats because you dont know how the technology works, or you are using the word "worse" in a different way
unix codebase is way way way more robust than windows, its seasoned and matured over the past 40 some years
in the future there may be many more viruses, but they wont be nearly as effective or nasty as they are on windows |

DN3D was definitely better, but a decent amount of time later. I always considered it a competitor to Quake more than Doom, and thought it killed Quake (I kind of hated single player Quake.)
dude showed a picture of a duke3d map and you started talking about doom
that was my point
Err, that's E1M1, the very first map you played in Doom. It's not a Duke 3D map. (if you're talking about the map comparison image.)
Creston
err someone already pointed that out
i didnt play doom that much
i thought it sucked |

Actually... that is a Doom Map... but that picture was used in an Ars Techinca article to compare Duke 3D to Duke Nuke 'Em Forever.
yeh doom maps did suck pretty bad, but its true they were way less corridor based than modern SP games like COD etc |

not to mention osx can't write to ntfs without a special plugin/extension to first be able to mount and read the drive, then to allow write permissions. but making money on fear is the name of the game so facts can gtfo.
wrong
osx can mount and read NTFS natively |

That picture, which people keep throwing up, is mostly idiotic, anyway. Does anyone really want to say that Doom, which was all flat, visible polygons and required criss-crossing back and forth over the same level with new monster closets opening up every time you find a new keycard, was really superior to most of what we have today?
Doom was shit compared to Duke 3D, especially in terms of map design.. but pretty much everything else as well.. Duke 3D kicked ass
and bioshock was ok... thats about it, its average at best |

In Greek mythology, Epimetheus ("hindsight", literally "afterthinker,") was the brother of Prometheus ("foresight", literally "fore-thought"), a pair of Titans who acted as representatives of mankind. They were the inseparable sons of Iapetus, who in other contexts was the father of Atlas. While Prometheus is characterized as ingenious and clever, Epimetheus is depicted as foolish.
According to Plato's use of the old myth in his 'Protagoras', the twin Titans were entrusted with distributing the traits among the newly-created animals. Epimetheus was responsible for giving a positive trait to every animal, but when it was time to give man a positive trait, lacking foresight he found that there was nothing left.
Prometheus decided that mankind's attributes would be the civilizing arts and fire, which he stole from Apollo's sun chariot. Prometheus later stood trial for his crimes and trickery.
In the trick at Mecone, a sacrificial meal marking the "settling of accounts" between mortals and immortals, Prometheus played a trick against Zeus. He placed two sacrificial offerings before the Olympian: a selection of beef hidden inside an ox's stomach (nourishment hidden inside a displeasing exterior), and the bull's bones wrapped completely in "glistening fat" (something inedible hidden inside a pleasing exterior). Zeus chose the latter, setting a precedent for future sacrifices.
Henceforth, humans would keep the meat for themselves and burn the bones wrapped in fat as an offering to the gods. This angered Zeus, who hid fire from humans in retribution. Prometheus in turn stole fire in a giant fennel-stalk and gave it back to mankind. This further enraged Zeus, who sent Pandora, the first woman, to live with men.
In the context of Plato's dialogue, "Epimetheus, the being in whom thought follows production, represents nature in the sense of materialism, according to which thought comes later than thoughtless bodies and their thoughtless motions."
According to Hesiod, who related the tale twice, Epimetheus was the one who accepted the gift of Pandora from the gods. Their marriage may be inferred (and was by later authors), but it is not made explicit in either text. |
