    I played Tribes 2 for a while, but I didn't own my own comp so I didn't get a lot of play time.

    oh yes tribes in a 64 player server ... OHHH YESS!

    i remember flying low over the battlefield (around 30 ppl shooting at eachother at all times) in my little light attack aircraft, firing at various light soldiers until a group of ppl with a rocket launcher and spotters suddenly wanted to shoot at me, w00t?! shfwooom... *BOOM* ... fiiiiiiiiihhhhh *CRASH* landed on my own teammates :/

    oh yes i love tribes2 so much <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I would really like to have tribes, but Im too lazy to buy it, and I dont think its in stores anyways. I haven't even seen(much) of it, but heard lots of good things.

    Tribes is the top game of all time. The best game ever made, period. Amazingly fun. I was, and still am, [HA]MaraJade until recently, now I'm [HA]TychoCelchuu. You <i>might</i> find me in the HA/HF servers every now and then. Tribes 2, well, <a href='http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2001-04-06&res=l' target='_blank'>I liked Tribes better.</a>

    Ive got this game, i suck at it, the most fun thing on it is Team Rabbit 2, thats great.

    I dont play anymore though because i suck and because i cant be bothered to get the 80Meg patch.

    Too bad Tribes took a turn for the worst after Tribes2. Seems it's just waiting to be buried now. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    yeah it was kinda given a deathblow by Dave G (one of the devs).

    tribes 3 has been given the green light, and the guy in charge is in much closer touch with the community, so it shouldn't suck <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    shame so few people got the chance to play it....

    I used to play Tribes2 online quite a bit - no where near as much as i play HL, but it was still a fun game - brilliant with 64 players <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I bought Tribes years ago. Played for about a week or two. Did'nt like it really. Not that it is a bad game or anything...it just is'nt for me. Mebbe it's just because I did'nt understand it or something. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Assuming you don't have a wierd aversion to older games, load 'er up and join one of the modded servers. Much more fun.

    Bah. Mods are for n00bs, the best players come from base.

    Or, version 2 for T2. Conservative Mod, with more rewards for competant pilots.

    Same, kindof, except for the damn mods with jacked-up missle speeds.

    I'd own the shrike if it weren't for the freaking blaster lag.

    Coincidentally enough, I just tried out Tribes 2 today. Maybe I simply need more time and/or experience with it, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. But don't worry, I'll graduate from the Tutorial missions soon. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm almost afraid to join a big multiplayer game simply because I wouldn't know what to do!! I'm especially afraid after seeing first-hand how NS game veterans treat the uninformed newbs when they try out <i>their</i> first game. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I tried Tribes 2 for a while. I was very impressed that the engine could handle open spaces while keeping fps high. However, I could only find servers with lame players who camped the vehicle generators, and killed any spawning vehicle, before it could get away. Got really old.

    Umm, "vehicle generators"?? I haven't seen <i>those</i> yet..... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Just played a few multiplayer games with a handful of bots, and I'm very impressed. Like every other FPS, the built-in bots still suck, but that's fine by me since I haven't got a clue what I'm at yet. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
