This friday gonna be awesome! February 24 at 12 pm EST, Tribes: Ascend will leave the closed beta and open free-to-play its doors to the larger public. This game will not launch officially until the end of this year, but with F2P games, the difference between open beta and "launch" is debatable.
Beta may come with an asterisk recognizes that the bug occurs, things get nerfed, and there are still polishing to be done, but Ascend is quite shiny. It started strong, and the developer Hi-Rez has made significant progress during the closed beta, which CEO Todd Harris said "exceeded expectations" with more than 300,000 players. Ascend currently features five maps, nine customizable classes, and
three modes: Rabbit, a free-for-all mode which awards points to the flag
carrier; Team Deathmatch, which awards double points to kills scored by
the flag-holding team; and traditional Capture the Flag.
If you’re not in the closed beta, you will be happy, because the upcoming public release will cost you nothing but time to check out. Purchasing gold gives you immediate access to additional classes and weapons, but those can also be acquired with experience earned in-game, and upgrades like larger clips and reduced reload times can only be earned with XP, so lacking funds won’t put you at a serious disadvantage. (Those with the cash can speed things up by purchasing XP boosters, but even so, the game’s balanced well enough that upgrades or no upgrades, you’ll never be a helpless weakling.)
Before the game opens on Friday, a major update will add a fresh fromdeveloper, an Arena Deathmatch mode, which will include two maps specifically designed for it; a new CTF map, Temple Ruins; a new Team Deathmatch map, Inferno; two new Soldier class unlocks; as well as several interface changes, balance tweaks, and bug fixes. Existing players will retain all progress and unlocks, and Hi-Rez doesn’t plan for any character wipes.
