Tribes: Ascend Brings Custom Loadouts, New Maps With Tartarus Update

Hi-Rez Studios has released their first update to Tribes: Ascend since being released.  Being called Tartarus, the update brings purchasable custom loadouts, two new maps, and a host of bug fixes.

The new custom loadouts will allow you to customize 4 different loadouts to swap from. These loadouts are based on what weapons, perks, and skin you want. You can also name the loadout whatever you may wish. The number pad lets you change between these loadouts on the fly with no respawn needed.

The first new map from the Tartarus update is…well… Tartarus. This is a new Capture the Flag map that features a huge area of wild plants and organic structures.

The other map is a new Arena map based on Hinterlands.  There are no inventory stations in order to amp up the difficulty. Hinterlands also features an acidic moat and a circular design.

    We all know that Tartarus exists and that Zeus and the gods/goddesses of Olympus can only conserve you from it, so I Am just questioning why you all want to go to Tartarus. Will Not you know Hades will punish you for all eternity? Every Person knows that Christianity is a religion created by Hades to lead you astray so that he can take you to the Underworld to be enslaved.

    That’d be hilarious. and both ways are good because either way we wouldn’t have Bieber.

  5. Okay so I got this game, P3P (Persona 3 Portable) for my PSP and usually it lets you control all the characters when fighting in Tartarus. (Yukari, Akihiko, Junpei, Mitsuru, etc.) But I can’t!! I’m playing both boy and girl. Boy is beginner mode, and girl is normal mode. At first the girl one let me control the players, but after I created the boy mode, it stopped working? How do I activate this?

  6. I have just started halo reach multiplayer and I was wondering how to change my loadouts. I know how to go to the loadout menu and everything, just how to change it because all loadouts are the same. I want different weapons. Also, can you aim down sights? Do you have to find weapons and if yes where?

  7. Does the game save the loadouts/classes for bots, or do they get a random loadout each match I play?

  8. Does anyone know what is in these loadouts. There are air superiority, and ground assault or something.Im not looking for triad or [Blitz]

  9. I saw them in forums and the Halo Reach MP Trailer, and it said loadouts.. what are those? Sorry if I sound dumb or anything, I just got an Xbox 360 and some Halo games today

  10. I need some help. I just began playin Call Of Duty, and sometimes I get 25 kills in a match, but most of the time around 13. My best game was 35 and 6(lucky). I like the assault rifles. I really do not want to be given loadouts/classes that you may use. Please instead, could you give me some tips on how to become a better killer in Black Ops/Call of Duty (In General).

    with Origin, I cant seem to start my own MP server in Battlefield 3. Nor can I seem to toy with my loadouts and appearance without joining a MP server first. I often start my own servers in previous battlefield games to toy with the vehicles and do things that are not entirely productive to my team. I would like to do this with Battlefield 3, but I cannot seem to figure out how.
