Is this worth downloading?

I Heard alot of people don't play this.

There are still enough players so a few amount of server's are nearly full at any time.
The player balance (by that i mean the players who have the weapons they want to use while new players dont have the weapons they want to use) was a big problem but now it isn't to huge anymore thanks to the prices being halved.
The game require dedication to play well, and not everyone will enjoy this sort of game.
It's worth a try, but it may not peak your interest's (Not because its bad, it's only what you like).

no

You should play it just so you can know what a real FPS looks like, as opposed to COD.

What about the automatic weapons (assault rifles, smgs)? Are they still spammed?

I know what a real FPS looks like, I've played Doom, Half-Life, Halo (Does this one count as a real FPS?), Quake and ofcourse the original Tribes games.

The automatic weapons all fire orb things that don't registar instantly (they have travel time before hitting) and thus aren't spammed very much

This is my favorite game of all time, i could only advise you to play it, i have been playing for almost two years and i'm still enjoying it a lot. Download it for sure!

its really great, it has a freedom of movement like nearly no other game, and now there isnt any heavy grind for stuff anymore as it costs 1/4 of what it used to cost when the game was new.
You dont get stuff with level ups, you can focus on whatever playstyle you want and you can try out every kind of equipment in training mode before buying it and maybe being disappointed.
but sometimes its really frustrating if you meet people on maximum rank, what should usually be people to admire, are just dumb "automatic weapon noobs" (but mastered playing them)
--> this game was made for explosive weapons and not for such thing

TF2 is free for scumbags. Premiums are the good players, F2P's are the filthy cod nubs

I guess that saves me the trouble of explaining the Tribes franchise and how it's different from most shooters. XD

It's definitely worth a look. For the most part it plays like you'd expect a Tribes game to play like.

Instead of your typical light, medium, heavy with customization they now break that down into classes. 3 lights, 3 mediums, 3 heavies. You can still customize but only as far as your class role goes.

One gripe I have with this game is from a lore standpoint. There's only 2 tribes, Blood Eagle and Diamond Sword. I've always been a Phoenix guy.

Also the lack of a 5 person APC.

Tribes has a steep learning curve but is very fun when you get the hang of it

[AlienJay]

Better than most fps out there. I would say its worth a try.
