It's a f2p reboot of Tribes, and it looks stunning. I'm a massive fan of Tribes, and I'm really excited for this =]

And I just stubbed my little toe... *muffled screams*

Looks very good. I'm a fan of the fast paced action in it.

I tried Tribes 2 about a year or two ago and it was MASSIVE fun. However, there was the slight problem that I was unable to hit the side of a barn with that Spinfusor, every damn shot fell too short or too far. I'll be looking forward to this.

Yeah, the 'fusor has always been a tricky weapon to get down, but, once you get used to it, it becomes a massively powerful tool. The thing is, that it's so accurate. It fires exactly where you point, so you've got to get used to adjusting for speed, enemy speed, trajectory, splash damage etc. =]

I'll just leave this here in case someone happens to be looking for a Tribes fix in the meantime.

Basically, this is just Tribes 2 with a new master server, and with all the copy protection stripped away.

Post by **XDelphi** » 31 Aug 2011, 19:42

So, I've actually never played Tribes, do I download this f2p from Steam?

Tribes 2 and Tribes: Ascend are not on steam.

also, Ascend is not released yet >.> (Well, Tribes 2 is of course... but as I said not on Steam)

I tried to play Tribes 2, and I'm terrible at it. Also, I was getting some issues with it, but I can run TF2 on max settings perfectly... Oh well, back to roasting some peeps.

If you'd watched the video, you'd know that Ascend is due for release later this year =P

I just hope that my rubbishy laptop will be able to run it.

tribes 2 was not a successor to tribes 1... the original tribes had a great physics setup that they ruined in the sequal. If Ascend can duplicate the original feel, it will be huge, I have hopes that they can do that.

If not, it will flop like the rest of the tribes sequels did.

Random Quiz Question! =D
Name the series that Tribes is from.
The series that Tribes is apart of started off as a different style of game =3

Post by **Sti_Jo_Lew** » 07 Sep 2011, 13:20

Didn't tribes start as a RTS? I'm probably wrong.

It did not start as an rts... but the series does have an rts title.

KaosuHamoni · Post by **KaosuHamoni** » 07 Sep 2011, 15:21

Well, the first was had the prefix 'Starsiege', so, I'm guessing Starsiege?

Oh, ok. I remember seeing an ad for it on the back of another game's manual ages ago.

Yes and No. Star Siege is the prequel to Tribes but is not the start of the series.

Ok, If someone can figure out the first game in the series I will give you a Diamond Block from my stash... This offer ends at 12:00 Midnight tonight Eastern Time. (Its currently 6:03 PM... so you have 6 hours)

Post by **Sti_Jo_Lew** » 07 Sep 2011, 17:36

Again... No... its not.

According to wikipedia it is...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starsiege:_Tribes

Starsiege: Tribes is a sci-fi first-person shooter video game. It is the first of the Tribes video game series and follows the story from Earthsiege and Starsiege.

It is the first in the Tribes part... but not the series as a whole -_-

As you can see from that wiki quote... Earth Siege is what started it all and is the first in the over all series.
This is the answer I was looking for... Earhsiege...

That is why I was confused, because Sti already said that, so I had no idea what else it could possibly be.
