After three weeks of the beta, I'm already sick of Tribes Ascend. There were too many 20th century SMGs and assault rifles in what is supposed to be a 40th century game. Oh well.
I was just about to post that I really like the game... :)
It still needs a bit of tuning, but the machine-guns don't bother me at all. Here's a cool site with some videos of teams scrimming.

I'm enjoying the beta so far. I think they've got a good handle on the free/pay-to-play aspect of the game. Every match I've played seems to be well balanced regarding classes.
I'm definitely going to play for free. I'll reserve judgment on spending money until I see what money buys a person.
Money just accelerates unlocks. If you've got your heart set on playing a particular heavy loadout or technician for example, you're going to have to play for awhile to get enough exp to "buy" the class.
Or you can send $39 and get enough points to unlock almost all of the classes right up front, and also gain an accelerated xp boost.
Section 8 is pretty much Tribes, and it's just as much fun to play. It's worth checking out on STEAM.
