Where is Doom 2?

I loved the multi-crew vehicles and the scale of it all. I haven't been impressed with any of the games since. I want to like this version but it looks too fast paced for the tactics and gameplay that made T2 so compelling.
Looks like all the other attempts before it, they focus too much just on the spinfusor and the esports aspect, instead of making it a fun, expansive, all around team game like Tribes 2.

Played the EA demo and it's pretty good. Movement and weapons are good. Like most team based games. This one will likely be ruined by cheating.

I'm surprised at how many of you haven't figured out that half the reason that the video game industry is in a crash, is because they incentivized forced diversity at the cost of quality.
You're exactly the person so many of us have tried to distance ourselves from in this hobby. The type with no real world experiences to back up the things he's so misinformed and outraged over

Without the little guys those guys would not be remembered at all. Personally I'm a big fan of diversity in tactics, even if I think certain tactics are bad. I don't think of you as one of those "get off my lawn" types.Overon wrote on Mar 10, 2024, 13:12:
I have seen the targeting of Sweet Baby Inc recently.
Prez I don't know if you are aware, but historically, all justice movement have been called things like "thoothless" and "inconsequential" and its activists mocked for being ineffective. It's a common tactic used to discredit the goals of the movement by discrediting its activists. Rather than argue against the goals of the movement, it's far easier to discredit its activists and the tactics they use. The logic being "why are people stirring up shit in society, destablizing society, while not accomplishing their goals. It's a waste of time.
From recent memory:
"Get a job hippie."
"Cut your hair hippie."
"You stink hippie."
"The hippies are stirring up trouble again."
To answer Overon, yes sir I am very aware, and realize the danger in calling him that is the assumption that I am one of the people who do what you are saying. But his type of "activism" is bullshit. I'm not the activist type but I recognize that through activism is how you affect real change. But the same danger exists for activists as well. Make everything your cause no matter the context and you risk harming more than helping. My personal opinion is that real activism was what Dr. King, Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, et al did for example. This... this is something else to me, and it isn't the same. For the record, I like hippies, I think long hair, tattoos, and piercings are cool, and I genuinely feel like I have more in common with the younger generations than my own. I don't think of myself as the "get off my lawn" bastard. 🙂
I hope you don't assume that I am one of those who counsels everyone just stay in their lane and accept what is being done without dissent.

I despise Tim Sweeney and I despise Apple's monopoly, so I will call it a draw. This is why I only care about games ...
phinn wrote on Mar 2, 2024, 19:33:No they didn't. Tribes 3 Rivals has less content than Tribes Ascend. The developer basically started with Tribes Ascend skeleton and then removed content leaving the minimum viable product behind. None of the combined arms warfare and grand maps and huge player servers is here and judging by what the devs are saying they have no plans for any of it. As I said this is a minimum viable product.
Have they still not showed anything from the scale of Tribes 1 and 2? I'm going 32v32, vehicles, huge defenses, etc.

It's a control panel. It works. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make the pig better.
Can you honestly say the new, modern settings panel in Windows is in any way superior to the old, quaint Control Panel? In many ways it's worse.
Don't know yet about this new version but the current control panel sucks. I had an AMD card some 2 or so years ago and was surprised how much better their control panel was then Nvidia one. For one I could go into the overlay while in a game and have access to bunch of settings to be set per game on the fly, or globally if I wanted to, or bunch of performance settings and how often they should update and where to display them. On Nvidia control panel by comparison, to change any of those settings, I had to quit the game, open the control panel, wait like 10 seconds for it to load, switch to the per game settings, hope it's in that slow dropdown that has a ton of applications with no search function. If it's not there click Add button, wait like another 30 seconds for the list of recent apps to load, then hope it's in that list otherwise you need to go digging for the executable of the app you want to set the settings for. This might have been ok 10-15 years ago, not now.
