I also played Tribes 1 base back in the day, and I preordered T:V but still haven't picked it up. Was too busy for the first few weeks and honestly the fan reaction hasn't made me too excited. I played it throughout beta and it seemed like it might finally be the game that brought the Tribes community back together but it looks like that's not possible. Using the UT engine perhaps wasn't the greatest idea either. It seems the T2 people don't like it because they took out all the extra stuff and vehicle power that the Dave Georgeson team added, and the T1 people don't like it because it's not T1 and nothing will be as good as T1 for us/them. But I'll eventually pick it up and hopefully get some good play time out of it as I eventually did out of T2 even though I didn't play that at all right after release either.
