Game Time! Tribes: Ascend

Hello guys! I haven't been writing all that much lately, because I've had a sinus infection. Drained all my energy and inspiration, but now I am back on track!

Tribes: Ascend is a new FPS game which involves blowing people up/shooting them down while sliding around with the help of a jetpack! Speed is a huge factor in this game which, in my opinion, makes it so fun. Speed is gained by using the jetpack uphill and sliding down slopes, repeat to gain monumentum.

The game has several classes, such as Sentinel, Pathfinder, Solder, Technical and so on. They're all good at different things. Pathfinders, for example, are fragile. The pro with them is that they're very lightweight so picking up, gaining and keeping monumentum and great speeds is easy. The pathfinder, thus, makes for a great flagcapper.
You can buy upgrades and new guns by either using a currency gained by playing or if you buy it. All classes serve different purposes.

The classic game modes are available to play as well, such as Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Capture And Hold etc.

I have only played Team Deathmatch, which only involves killing people.
Team Deathmatch in Tribes: Ascend has an interesting twist though. There is a flag involved which plays a pretty big part in the gameplay. Sure, to win you still have to kill people, but to gain as much points as possible you have to make sure someone in your team has the flag. That way, everyone on your team will gain double the points for killing someone, which is awesome.

The best part about the game though, despite all the flying around, blowing people up?

It's free, and available on Steam!
If you decide to try it, you won't lose anything. If you like it, well, awesome! Welcome to the party!
