Legends, is a Tribes 1 like game. Linux game tome added it to their data base yesterday. It plays interesting. So guys, give it a try.
"Legends is a fast-paced first-person-perspective online multiplayer game. The game is designed to take advantage of the beautiful environments available from the Torque engine it is based on while still offering the breakneck pacing and variety of styles available from such classics as Quake and Tribes.
Gameplay is not the strafe-strafe-jump-strafe-shoot-strafe-run-like-hell style a lot of games espouse; the addition of a jetpack adds a third dimension of mobility that makes skill, forethought, and restraint necessities to winning.
Team sizes are going to be ideal between 10 and 15 on each side, and the network code will allow anyone with any bandwidth to play relatively smoothly. Game type offerings will range from the classic Capture the Flag to our own new type, affectionately called “Knockout”.
Plenty of maps will be provided by us, but the beauty of this game is its customization possibilities. Mission creation has never been easier, with a stable, full-featured editor integrated into the game engine itself. Skins, models, and effects can all be modified by the end-user with commonly available tools."

for the record, the torque engine is actualy the engine form Tribes2, and not tribes 1. i only mention this because the torque engine is beautiful, while its mentaly retarded cousin from tribes 1 is pretty hoe-hum.

VeeDub, never said it was a Tribes 1 engine, it just plays like tribes 1 on the tribes 2 engine.

Oh I know that, it's just that I wanted to be sure people checked out the game and figured they'd be more likely to do soif they knew where the engine came from and that while it may play like tribes1, it is as beautiful as T2.

Well, this is kind of a bump, but......
Legends .0.4.0B has been released. It is a major upgrade to Legends. New weapon models, new player models, 3 new gameplay types, and some more. Give it a look over, you wont be dissappointed.

Glad there's a new version. I'll have to check it out. I did get the old one working and it's a lot of fun.
I can only imagine this will be even better.
