I don't see anything slow about it.

We managed to pull out a few bombers and a tank. Was great until the bombers got shot down and I rolled the tank. (Tanks explode nicely when you roll over...hehe.) One thing they definitly did get right was the in game forums, chat, buddy lints, tribe managment (in Tribes, clans == tribes), etc. I hope future games pick up on this, it's really nice.
