When this was first announced somebody crushed my dreams... And I can't remember how? Isn't this being made by some horrible scummy company or something?

Hi rez have a very bad track record at keeping their games alive. Very recently we've had DKO and they made people pay for access to the game, where it has free to play monetisation in it and haven't updated it for almost if not an entire year. I really enjoyed it when I first got it and still think it's a great idea for a game that no one really has an alternative for yet. But due to their lack of updates and silence on the matter the game has dropped down to the 20s of players at any given time. It makes me very sad.

That's the kind of shit I remember hearing now. Oh well.

I know it's small teams, like 5v5 or something to that effect. HiRez bombed Tribes: Ascend and SMITE both but idk anything much about this studio.

Five versus five? Already tapping out. I don't think we'll ever get anything that recaptures the magic of the original tribes.

Homeland federation for life!

They did one playtest that was 5v5 CTF. Most playtests have been 12v12.

That's good to hear! I haven't followed very closely. Tribes without fairly big teams just wouldn't be right
