What do you like most about Tremulous?
« on: February 13, 2007, 02:36:24 pm »
Hi, instead of the usual negative posting that's going on on these forums, why not explain to the rest of us what you like best about Tremulous, instead of moaning about what you dont like. I'll start off by saying that what I like most about Tremulous is the freedom you have to solve any given situation. The absense of a rock-paper-scissor balance is what makes Tremulous stand out from the rest.

Now, please tell us what you like best about Tremulous.

What I like about tremulous is that it isn't the standard FPS that I became so bored with.  Differing capabilities integrated with the RTS of building and defending a base make the strategy very fluid.  It is impossible to outline a single strategy that constantly works, as is the case with single player games, and an opponents weakness on one team probably won't exist when they play the other side so you can't count on finding someones "tell" that easily.  Not to mention that its fast.

Short answer though, wallwalking and pouncing! :D

i like the fact that it's really balanced, so skill is what determens the winner, not whoever gets the nuke/carrier/supervirus reaserched first, and the fact that it's still two factions, even though that makes it harder to balance. and the devs aren't nerds and actually listen to suggestions

One of my favorite things about Tremulous is that it's a very solid FPS with a relatively closely-knitted community. It's an open source mod of Quake 3, and yet it's still a better thought out and executed game than almost all retail multiplayer FPS games that are released, barring graphics that we're used to seeing in Q3 engine games. We get to play one of the most intelligent and fun FPS games currently in existence, for free, and with a great community behind it. Honestly, Tremulous is a godsend.

I second that.


I just love the variety of options I can have.

Assasiantion as basilisk. I love the exitement to sneak up on someone and see them trying to get off my rock hard grip.
But I hate the fact that assasination fun ends on human s2 (due radar). When that happens I assault humans for daily meal using lot of walls as my support although they atempt to get on large open areas to avoid me :/

1. Fast paced game play. (I was playing savage and I nearly lost my mind it was so boring)
2. Two VERY different sides yet still really balanced. (If you don't know how hard it is two do that it's INCREDIBLY hard)
3. Two words: Alien Building!
4. Tyrant.

The massive variety caused by the two totally different teams, and the strategy element.
When team play works as its meant to, its amesing.

Lucy Jumping.  Nothing is better than jumping your way to annhilate three eggs and an OM, crippling the alien team in one attack.  Or meeting two Tyrants in a hall and lucy jumping your way backwards back into your base.  It's pure cheese :)

i like the fact that the game doesnt just depend on how good your aim is. the fact that movement is very important keeps my attention.

The fact that I waste money on other games, when I play this free game more than anything purchased.

No, wait... that's not a good thing.

Let me try again..

The fact that it's so darn addictive that I'm playing it when I should be studying/working/aware of the real world.

...

Damn it! >.<

I love how its free, i play this game far more than any other $50 games i bought at the store.

I love the mass driver, and the marauder.

More than that I love owning MD noobs with a dretch. ;p

I also like how the teams are almost opposite. Its makes players change up their playing style.

Its open source.

Each alien/weapon is potentially a death machine, depending on who's using it.

I also love how players can build their own bases, it adds a new type of [ i cant think of the word :'( ] to the game.


My favorite thing is that there are no hacks released for it yet, i hate playing in 'hackfest' games like CS:S. (this is when people shout hypocrite >;p )

I also love my nifty little custom HUDs. (mybe I'll post a SS some time) ;p

1. I used to play a lot of the original Alien vs Predator and Tremulous has the same wallwalking and minigun (chaingun now) fun I loved. There also isn't the poor balance that AvP suffered from (like the one-hit-kill throwing disks).

2. Fast paced team game with actual teamwork and required strategy involved. The teams aren't just which pool of points you belong too.

3. Its something free which is more pleasing than a chunk of what the commercial industry churns out for cash.

4. I used to rebuild and rebuild in games like Starcraft amd Age of Mythology trying different things out. Building for aliens is just as enjoyable for me.

I like how the dev for this game didn't die like other games.  The mods created are small and I don't have to go downloading anything everytime I join a different server.

Dude, seriously. I am having trouble choosing between a cat or a Granger as favorite pet. If a Granger can also return small stuff I throw away, just like my cat does, I'm sold. Maybe I should make her a green sweater...

1.
Making tyrants grunt and goons moo. Those are the most popular handphone ringtones in my school now.

2.
Building in the game. I like how you can screw around with your teammates by putting eggs all over the damn place.

3.
The rifle. Possibly the best video game weapon ever - I'm surprised it wasn't in the video on YouTube.

4.
Committing suicide on Transit. An awesome way to deny kills.

1. WTF?
2. Ban heading your way
3. Its a gun.
4. Play the game as its meant to be played, or fuck off.

The best bit about tremulous is being able to ban people like you.
