TRIBES Vengeance Nears

A post to the TribalWar Forums offers a farewell to Sierra and the TRIBES Development team from T:V producer Chris "Thrax" Mahnken, who posted a timeline that hints that the game is nearing release:
Tomorrow, Friday September 17 - Just a few short weeks before Tribes will hit the shelves my time has run out. I was given a 90 day extension to stay on at Sierra (the building has been nearly empty for a month now) and finish Tribes. We're now in a great position, ready to ship, and I'm confident that the team in Australia will do a fantastic job finishing the game.

"Who knows ... I could be wrong."

You are.

To elaborate:

Tribes: Vengeance is NOT more complicated than Tribes. It's about the same. In fact, it's a bit simpler than Tribes 2. The Tribes series has always been a "thinking person's shooter", anyway.

True, anyone can ski in T:V. In the original Tribes, skiing was an exploit, not an intended feature. Therefore, the people who learned to do it well could unbalance the game, skiing across an entire map in a heavy armor in only a few seconds. T:V and Tribes 2 made put restrictions and controls on skiing. T:V actually frees up skiing a little more than Tribes 2 did. Skiing WELL in T:V still takes some skill.

As for Half-Life 2, there's no comparison between it and T:V. There's no reason for Vivendi to release T:V based on when HL2 is released. People will buy both games.
