I am playing only tribes2 at the moment.
You want t know why. Netcod rules. Community rules.
The netcode allows you to play with 60 peeps on a server where you get pings of 120. And you still manage to make headshots. Communuty rules, bc they have given a lot into that. This game has a genius ingame browser. It shows you various information like number of players in a game, what machine it is, wich ip, wich game type, and so on and so forth. As filters you have filter by- ,ping, machine speed, linux or windows, dedicated, max players, max bots, min players, min bots, game type, buddyfilter and some more. You have in the game, forums, chat, and tribe/clan/squad (whatever you call it) system. Every player has a player page, where you could check the stats. New funktions to the interface are managed by scripts (PJ is da lord). In game you can have a netsatistics graph. The collision handling is much better, and even if you have greatest lag, yo do not always jump around like crazy. So, from Tribes2 there where nearly 200000 copys set off. The main forums on the sites have not more then 5000 topics or so. From this I estimate that Flashpoint has ben sold more then 1'000'000 times. Wich makes flashpoint a real blockbuster. Why should it not be possible to make more out of this 1'000'000 copys then this absolute lousy netcode and browser support?
