Fun single-PLayer Frustrating Multi-Player.

I'm not usually critical about a game, But Tribes Vengance is an exception. Though the only tribes game i have played is Areial Assault for the Ps2, i got this thinking id get an even better game. well, the Visuals are beautiful, though i really don't care too much about graphics and Sound (which is also superb), and the Single Player Portion of the game is a very fun and at some points addicting storyline. Although I would have liked a few more levels with soldiers fighting by your side, it was entertaining blasting those tribals with a grenade and watching them fly off(with a full ragdoll physics effect) by yourself.

The Game manual claims that this game's Multiplayer is a major team-oriented experiance. the problem? HARDLY ANYONE PLAYS IT. When i Load the server list i get a whopping 5 SERVERS, 3 with onmly like 3 or 4 people in it. and the few with more in it are ftainted with but one strategy:Mortar Spamming. Basically, the whole team grabs Heavy Armor and a Mortar Launcher, then rushes to the other base and starts spawnkilling. Thats all it is, a race to see who can get to Spawn killing first. then the idiots flame you when you start complaining, with such slurs as "U are a Noob, learn some skill, loser!". and when you finally get out of your base(alive) and get their flag adn hide with it while you wait for yours to be returned, the other guys will yell at you "YOU NOOB! YOUR TURTLEING!!"

basically, what they implie is that you can spawnkill as much as you lke, as long as you don't get their flag and hide in a smart, safe place. whats worse, is that you can NOT play a single player match against bots, so you have to try to learn everything in multiplayer...if you can spawn without being mortared....

I'd recommend this game to those who want a fun, Story-driven single-player experiance. as far as the multiplayer goes...stay clear...unless you like to listen to the braying of bragging noobs.
