    No, but I definitely want one. I'm really interested in trying that game out for myself.

    This game cannot come fast enough. I have to admit, if I were working right now I'd buy the early access package in a second.

    It is very reminiscent of the old tribes. I like the new take, giving class xp for upgrades and tokens for purchasing new classes. The upgrades are minimal as well, so there isn't a huge divide between new players and established ones. Quite fun, easy to play once you get used to skiing, unless yer an old Tribes vet like me. I've been waiting, what, like 10-14 years for this? Mechwarrior is next. :)

    I forced Myco to make a Tribes channel on TS. Hop on when you play!

    And I have a lock.

    You know what to do.

    The game seems pretty good so far, except for the part where there are no Asian servers, meaning I end up playing with 250+ ping a lot of the time. Believe me, Tribes is not a game you want to play with high latency. Though, landing a long-distance disc on the enemy flag carrier with 400 ping is definitely a feel good moment.

    There are also no plans for dedicated servers, mod/map tools etc; usually means its life, as a PC FPS game, will be short.

    I have a key, name: iamjethro

    From first impressions, this game is really fun, I love skiing and I love getting midairs.

    The game packaging though isn't the greatest. If there are no dedi server plans, or mod tools (custom ski maps would be fun) that's a game changer for any competitive or semi-competitive play. Overall I find the UI in the menus very f2p-like and a bit confusing. My other gripe is the cost of all the classes... it's still in closed beta, don't they want people to test everything?

    I'm up for playing in the next few days.

    The beta only just started, far as I can tell, so who knows what they will do. There are 2 classes, the ones marked "look" which are significantly cheaper and give access to a heavy and light class.

    As for dedicated servers, map/mods etc, this is a f2p game with microtransactions, it's actually rare for this type to see these features. TF2 is a rarity, though it should be a template. Either way I really don't care. I get to play new Tribes and it is fun!
