PRESS RELEASE

For immediate release

Houston Vehicles elite “Where Machines Of War Blaze Paths Of Bloody Fury” The epicenter for team based combat, on an epic scale, returns to the Tribes 2 universe. Houston Vehicles elite would like to invite all |HV| members, friends and cannon fodder to stop by and say Hi! (vgh). Mark your calendars for Friday February 13, 2009. Fly a shrike or drop some bombs, attack those generators, it's up to you. We're in full production and open for business, thanks to our hard working admins. The Houston Vehicles elite server you knew and loved is back. All previous maps and scripts have been re-installed by our scripting guru, Wembly. He even has some ideas for new features. So let's populate the server.

Of course, all this would not be possible without the Tribes Next project. Houston Vehicles elite would like to thank the Tribes Next developers for their hard work and creative approach to finding a solution to the authentication problem after Sierra/Vivendi turned off the master servers.

Houston Vehicles elite, Tribes 2 server, returns with these features.

    * HVadmin mod.
    * No team damage.
    * Vehicle eject/locking.
    * 64 player capabilities.
    * Bandwith pipe the size of.. Well it's big. Remember, it's a series of tubes.
    * Intel Xeon processing power.
    * Vehicle centric map rotation. Many maps modified and built exclusively for Houston Vehicles elite.
    * Crazy Tricon 2 effects, used sparingly of course, muahahahaha!

The grand opening event will be on Friday February 13, 2009. Festivities will be running all day and the evening session should be pretty crazy. We wouldn't have it any other way. This is Houston Vehicles elite.

LoL this is what im talking about that great leet attitude I am so miss from days of comp play. What are you afraid of some of these so called newbs own your ass maybe? were not a comp server were a pub server main reason TD is off is so the admins dont havta deal with people complaining about being tked or having to deal with the people who Team kill people for the fun of it.
         That way the admins have alot less headaches to deal with and can actually
play the game  instead of babysit players the whole time understand. yes it may be newb friendly but you still have to aim where you shoot to kill your enemy.
If you dont like it I am sorry if there enough people to vote TD it will pass and we will play with it on no big deal.Dont wanna start a flame war but I just dont get where the attitude is  from I would think that after eight years of this game that most tribes players would have grown up by now maybe not.
 We are trying to offer something different for people that want to play base nothing more like we did on Houston Vehicles eight years ago.If you dont like it there are plenty of other great servers to play on and enjoy.But dont knock it till you try it these so called newbs  may give you more game than you can handle. We welcome anyone who wants to play what I think is the best online game I have ever played.

can you make it so other teammates satchels won't damage my satchel?

 
sorry cant help you with that one.

Best regards, blindkilla

Can't we all just get along?

[Shadowex3]

No, not as long as certain schools of thought which require as a part of their fundamental nature the constant broadcasting of their adherants superiority and the likewise constant insistence of everyone else's inferiority and deliberate persecution of said adherants are allowed to continue harassing the members of these forums without being held accountable for their utter disconnect from rationality.

In short: It's ALL a QiNgSPIRACY ZOMG!

Can we get a moderator to cut out these negative responses...
Thanks in advance!

i tell it like it is

Sounds great, the only thing I would be wary of is fridays, specifically evenings, is when ewo does its FNF deal, which is where a good portion of the base/vehicle lovers will be on fridays, and we all know splitting the community isnt a good idea. Maybe saturday or something would be better for a grand opening?

[Turkeh]

Keep it civil, or I stop deleting posts and just lock the thread.

[Shizuka]

Maybe this is what we get for playing a game where future humanity has fractured into tribes that bitterly aim to slaughter each other on a regular basis.

Or it could have something to do with us all building enemy bases right next to each other... can't imagine the neighborhood is great...

[dirty-piss pinko]

I'm excited to play some base. Not sure how i feel about no team damage, since it's usually just a headache for the O, but it'll be nice to have a lifespan of more than 20 seconds when the mortars start to fly around home base.

People already have a non-comp server, but with TD on. TD off is great for people that like to sit back and spam or satchel everything, but when the players affected by the spam (like cappers) realize there is a better alternative (servers with TD), they'll leave and then your mortar/satchel spammers will have nothing to do.

So whats wrong with another I say? The reason we did this was because we saw some posts in here asking for a server that ran base like HV and MV did.So that is what we did.Funny I see tons of mortar span and satchel spammers on servers with classic mod and TD on all the time.How do I know well I like to play defense and by trade from my TWL and BEML days war a turret farmer and my turrets get blown up all the time by my own team with spam just a fact of the game.We are just offering a different choice like it or not.

Take a deep breath.
