One of the most underrated online multiplayer games of all time.
I never played the first one, but Tribes 2 and Tribes: Ascend were my jam. I still actively miss Tribes: Ascend. With a little more love, it could have been the most perfect Tribes game.
What a throwback. I remember when the engine was sold for 100 bucks for hobbyist and tinkering with it years later.
Good times.
Just went digging. It was the Torque engine which was used for tribes 2
I had no idea! Played great on 56k. Netcode was excellent.
YESSSSSSS. I played a mod called renegades that had some different weapons, classes, and things like deployable base defenses. It was SUCH a fun game. Few things will ever match the cool factor of aerial disc duels.
That was THE best mod. The mods and maps loaded on the fly too no need to download before joining a server. Tribes was ahead of its time.
Never played the original but absolutely loved tribes ascend. Such a unique and satisfying game. To bad hirez abandoned it.
Goddamn, yeah. I dont play a lot of competitive multiplayer, but I actually was decent at tribes ascend. I remember in whichever game mode where you have to hold the flag for as long as possible I was pretty decent. I wasn’t great at shooting people, but once I got that flag I could skate so fast it was tough for people to catch me.
Simply nothing like it nowadays.
My favorite game of maybe all time. You could go god mode in multiplayer and grab a player and chuck them across the map.
Shazbot!
(Also I still have the same Allsop Raindrop mouse pad suggested by fellow Tribes/Quake players. What a time)
Yeah exactly! One from 2007 and one earlier than that. Man, what a tank.
this making me all nostalgic
