    We still play. Our pub (Goon Haven) has between 10-20 players on at any given time. Even have ladder matches going on pretty regularly!

    A little off-topic, but for those of you who are unaware, Tribes 2 is free and community-run now. http://www.tribesnext.com/

    Also (and please feel free to correct me or add your own opinions), Tribes 2 was mostly disdained in comparison to the original for its speed and physics; this was changed in the Classic mod (http://www.tribes2wiki.com/wiki/Classic/), which changed the feel of the game to mirror the original. I always thought it did a pretty good job, but I enjoyed both Tribes immensely anyways.

    At least no one mentioned Vengeance, lol.

  4. Happy to see Tribes get some love by Mt._Honkey · · Score: 1 · on FPS Games That Need a Remake

    Tribes / Tribes 2 are the greatest FPS's ever made (reasonable people can disagree about the relative ranking of those two). Their popularity was hindered by lack of advertisement and a steep learning curve. If a major studio did a remake right (made by people who love it) and advertised it well, then maybe it could really take off.

    For any of you who haven't tried it or haven't played for a while and want to get back in, there's still a breath of life. Go to TribesNext, download their client and patch and you can play Tribes 2.

    It really is like no other game. If you have never seen it I suggest the videos below that show off its epicness. I don't know how anyone can see these and not want to play it forever.

    Tribes 1: Legacy Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

    Once you've played it no other FPS will match up unless it is made in Tribes' image. "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. "

  7. Tribes 2 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on How Steam Revived a Dead Game

    This game is from 2000, and way ahead of its time. I highly recommend it to any FPD buff - don't get disheartened by its steep learning curve, it's one of the pioneers to next-gen FPS - in my opinion no game has ever come close, but UT is it's closest cousin.

    Available for FREE (don't forget the patch!) at TribesNext.com

    That's why we play free games that IMO blow all current-gen game out of the water with gameplay mechanics and movement ability - Tribes 2 for instance.

  10. Tribes 2 by Hatta · · Score: 5, Informative · on Most Popular Free, Arena-Style FPS?

    I haven't gotten a chance to play this yet, but Tribes 2 has been released as freeware. Just a couple weeks ago it was patched to allow network play on unauthorized servers, which are the only servers anymore. Seeing how recent this development is (as of Jan 2), I'd expect Tribes 2 multiplayer to be on the upswing.
