My new Tribes?
I've been playing the UT2004 demo over the weekend. I'm really enjoying it. It's seems well balanced. In particular, I like the "Onslaught Mode" where each team tries to protect their base by controlling nodes on the map. At first, I was just running around getting familiar with the weapons and map, but after a while, I settled down and found a strategy that seemed to work pretty well. There's one node on the map that can be critical and is out of the way. I spend mnost of my time defending that node and it generally keeps me at the top of the scoreboard. Good stuff.
Also, it runs smooth as glass on my machine, which is about a year old and for some reason still has a GeForce4 MX (I know...stop groaning). Most games are memory bound when it comes to performance these days, so I haven't really run into issues, other than the fact that I can turn all the bells and whistles on. I'll get around to upgrading it one day...you know, in all the free time I have between running UO, spending time with my toddler (UT2k4 happens at nap time), hanging out with Kim and oh yeah... moving to California.

Hey Anthony, come join us next time we host another Stratics Fight Night. The last one was a blast, and was held for about 7-8 hours on a Saturday afternoon/evening. We had Jon there last time, and everyone had a blast.
