I felt a bit of nostalgia creeping up on me this morning so i had a fish around my gaming wardrobe and pulled out a copy of Tribes 2.Does anybody still play this game? I remember having it on my computer at a time and i think i quite liked it. I still have the CD in my wardrobe and was wondering if anybody is still fragging on there and if its worth installing? Are there much clans? Is it worth playing? Has it been overdone with bogus updates and boring add-ons. All the answers to these questions would be much appreciated.

Used to play it a lot also, and Tribes 1.
One of those games that nobody else I knew played, I guess when you add in jetpacks whilst having to think/aim confuses a lot of people, and projectile weapons that take a while to hit a target. (prediction skills! ).

Aahh, the good days, don't think it'll ever be the same again. :)
But yeah I gotta give it a bash again I think.

BASE or nothing, I hated all the crappy mods out there ;[

So, its not worth installing you think? Tribes 1 was classic imo, Tribes 2 was good at the start but then i formatted and forgot to reinstall it and as i said in the first post i just stumbled across it. Ill wait for a few more responses first, thanks. ;)

Installed, still quite a lot of players but its not as good as before lol. It hasn't got the same feel as before but i think i will stick to WoW,CS,TO,UT,Eve and others. Tribes 2 is still a good game though, anyone fancies a game add me on msn.
 
THE BEST GAME EVER !!!

played it for many many years, ahh fond memories ..
eurotribes ladder and gameshrine forums

i still have it installed but only to have duel's with m8s now and then
there are still a few mixed scrimms going on, but the game died a loong time ago.
i miss jetpacks and skiing and green eggs of doom !!!

ChrisJSY, was funny seeing m8s think they could just step in and play it
then laugh as they tried to jet, ski and shoot ... you HAD to develop true skills to play it.
i think thats why so many ex tribes players find cs and bf real easy

If you are still keen on playing it, reinstall it, check the options and download the latest patch.

the above effort of a tribes game was THE worst ever in the series...
i used the dvd as a coaster once i glued it back together.
honestly it ws absolutely fekin awful, and no respectable tribes player went near it..
within a week the aimbots n hacks were out, and Vivendi/Sierra canned the patch to fix it..
you also didnt have to pay monthly to play it, maybe you were thinking about Planetside ?

Ps.. ive just located a folder on 1 of my HD's with 6gig of tribes 2 matches,scrimms and movies ..

Tribes 2 was amazing, never seen an online fps to better it. I used to play it on dial up too with no problems whatsoever.

Used to have an awful habit of mixing up the afterburner and eject buttons though. Not good when you have 5 people in the back of a transport :eek:

quoted for truth

I would say it is one of my all time favourite games. I loved the variety of roles you could play, depending on your mood you could go light and try a cap the flag (which i pretty much sucked at), hang back and protect the gens etc, take out a shrike and hunt down that pesky bomber team who always managed to take out all them turrets and sensors you planted. Those were the days.

Sadly now really the only game I get is the odd duel match on Lan when the brother calls in (he was responsible for dragging me away from CS and CoD and got me hooked on T2). Everytime I check online the only servers populated are pinging over 150 and the delay on the spinfuser is just too noticeable to be enjoyable.


The only thing about the game that I don't miss are the unhandled exceptions :p

And as for Tribes vengence, that was dire, I bought it recently for £1.99 from the local game stores bargin bin, was well overpriced at that.

we organised two UKLans for tribes in stoke, over 3 days with fragfactory

they were soooo much fun, 50 player HAVOC only air fights !! Duel comps, scrimms etc etc ...
we'd do it again but there isnt enough interest nor peeps playing it these days
its mostly mixed scrimms but using cluster MOD .. no heavies :(

can only hope that fella working on ET:QW starts off the tribes mod he talked about on the Splash Damage forums ... all bits crossed
