Tribes and Halo are 2 diffirent things .....

Those saying that comparing Tribes and Halo is "asinine" are side-stepping the issue at hand. The issue isn't "Tribes>Halo," it's the fact that Tribes gets no acknowledgement for being influential, while Halo is heaped praise. You're right, Halo is influential for what it did on a console. Then why is it being paired with the likes of Battlefield, which was on a PC? Due to the amount of money throw at the series, its achievements are greatly exaggerated.

because people worship ENIAC and binary, rite?

let industry and populace determine their own gems. it will never be fair to every facet of every community no matter what, figure out how to cope with being in the community that's not represented every once in a while.

Tribes 1 is better than practically every game in any genre that will ever be released including it's own sequels.

Wish FE:L could stop living under Tribes shadow. Also Halo is so not fun it's boring compared to FE:L and i haven't even played tribes yet. ( Expecting to be blown out of my mind)

When the people who made tribes (GG) make a game (FE:L) that is not as good (by a long shot) that is what happens!

You can play T1, T2 or TV NOW!  Do a search to find d/l.

That is completely unfair. GG is not Dynamix, and their circumstances are very different.

It was my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) that GG was started by people from Dynamix. Specifically the devs/people involved with the makeing of Tribes.

Its why a lot of people were very excited when they heard about FE:L and who was behind it.
And why some (a lot) are so disappointed with FE:L

As for circumstances I am not realy sure what you mean.
But I am sure you get what I am saying.

Fe:L is I know supposed to be like Tribes but I dont want it to become a copy of Tribes because that would be like Tolkien Disciples rewriting Tolkien.

I spent the summer interning at GG. Pretty much all the original Dynamix guys have moved on to smaller studios based in Eugene.

GG's got dedicated developers, but it's just a completely different company now and most people don't seem to know that.

They don't seem to want to respect it either.

lol yea tribes better then Halo...right...

Halo is the best game out there,to bad its only for Xbox 360 

What is this a joke? FE:L is better than Halo by a long shot. And thats offspring of a even better Game.
Seriously consider this.
Halo: run around killing people and hope they won't kill you first.
Tribes/FE:L: Stratagetic game based on people's aim how good thier skiing is and Fuel conservation.

Hmmm... let me think Tribes/FE:L By a long shot.

yeee....no...not really Halo is strategic too ,i think..nvm
but Halo is WAY better then tribes...blej...

History is written by the victors.

Consoles...
*Have a cheap entry point
*Are easy to use
*Are easy to market to given the low expectations of the lowest common denominator target audience
*Make the producers of the games and consoles a lot of money
*Are easy to develop for because of fixed platform requirements

Computers...
*are not any of the above

Given that knowledge. Take a sub-par First person shooter, let's call it Halo for the purposes of this example, and produce it on a console. The game far exceeds the usual crap you find on consoles, because despite being sub-par by PC standards it stands head a shoulders above anything else.

Calling Halo a great game is like calling a slightly polished turd better than the heap of unpolished turds it sits atop.

The most damning praise/criticism I can give for Halo is that it is good for a console game. It's probably the best console game for doing what console games do best; fleece large sums of money from idiots.
