Quite the shame. By the looks of this demo, the same problems Tribes 2 had will plague this and that is patching. There is no way the vehicles (the few that I saw) are driveable. They jerk everywhere. Much like me. Dang.
Ah well... at least Half-Life 2 will ease the pain. :)

Question: Is there any point in me trying this demo out?

things have weight now! yay! no sending a pod careening with a push and similarly your player has more feeling of movement weight as well
no more super bunny speed! will be playable for old farts and also means less jerks to make servers hell!
seems like a lot of weapons balance tweaks, that seem alright
skiing works more realistically and is a tad more versatile (although less powerful)
lag issues seem to be all cleared up
biggest disappointment still:
small maps. lack of depth to base system. if those are remedied in a mod it will be like an updated tribes 1, which is a great thing

(of course..since I'm broke, I might be on the demo servers for a lot longer than I want to be. :( )
The tribes you play are map specific right? So, since they are the same maps, we won't be seeing any new tribes from the beta?
I really enjoyed Tribes 1 (although I hated that mod that added all those classes and the disposable trees and platforms, base forever!) and Tribes 2 I still had a few tasks I was good at, but in this game.. I don't know. I feel like I'm not as much in control and it's harder to tell what's going on and I was kind of suprised that the old repair pack gun didn't seem to be included (instead I just pushed the button and a turret was bathed in green waves.)
There seems to be a lot more chaos and lot less control.
