Right, because removing nitron jumping from flag carriers is no big deal...

solid patch, nothing too exciting though. Good to get a couple more maps back into ctf rotation. Not being able to nitron with flag will make good snipers even more effective, though it may help with chasing.

Re: Mar 20, 2012: Tribes Open Beta Version 0.1.848.0

im really looking forward to this patch.
lots of good news regarding gameplay issues, especially this:
"A variety of physics changes have been made in order to fix several issues impacting the fluidity of movement. This includes the elimination of several items that would cause deadstops and hitches, as well as a bug that would allow you to ski/jet along the boundary wall. Changes were also made in order to fix a few issues that would occur when traveling up steep hills. Additional improvements are planned for future releases."
i hope that will also remove the rubberbanding effect that happens sometimes when u go from fast skiing to walk speed, that can be really glitchy sometimes.

and also "Increased Heavy run speed by 20%." -non-jetpack+ski movement with heavy class was agonizing.

was hoping to see bella omega map back tho.

keep up the good work guys, cheers.
