Anyone in the Tribes: Ascend beta?

I'm installing the beta as we speak. It's easy to get in; just like Tribes: Ascend on facebook.

I'm interested now that I heard about it and watched this video-

Looks like a faster and more polished version of quake.

Is it really gonna be free to play when it's released? Seems strange, how they gonna make any money?

Looks pretty cool!

I loved playing Quake. This does look very similar and I'm actually intereseted in playing this one.

It might be hard to tell from the vid but the sliding is activating the skis, which are basically a super sprint, and the jumping is well... a jetpack. Yes, it's very fast paced and very, very fun.

So is it really gonna be FTP? I don't wanna waste my time getting into a game I won't be buying.

Well now I'm gonna try it. So how do they plan on making money, it looks like they spent a lot to make it.

I got the game and I'm about to play for the first time. Dudebro was taken(of course) so my game name is DudebroIsMyName. What's your name BS2?

believe it or not, my steam name was taken, so I just went with Frigid.

This game seems cool but with everyone flying around so much it's hard to actually shoot at people unless you're in close range.

Okay, now that the game has had an official release, I figured it would be a good time to revive this thread. The game seems far more manageable now, less ridiculously difficult to make shots.
