I loved Tribes. The verticality, the freedom of movement, the timing of slow moving projectiles. It’s one of the few multiplayer FPS that I sunk time in to and got quite competent at.
The only other game to scratch the freedom of movement itch in the same way was AVP2, playing as the Alien (wall walking, pouncing across the map, etc) though obviously it didn’t have a lot of the same features.
Tribes is so far behind me that I don’t remember any of the people, servers, etc that I played on, but I do remember my nick: Guy In The Sky.
As others mentioned… Mods. I frequently played Renegades, but I believe HaVoC was my favourite.
One of the best games ever made. None of the others in the series really had the same fun factor. The mods were amazing. There was a total conversion called TribesRPG and there’s still a server up for it. Last time I went in a couple years ago there were only two players just idling.
Last I heard about this game was at the Game Awards a few years back. Nice to see the game development chugging along.
The gameplay in the boss fight video looks too cluttered, IMO. But there is enough time for the devs to tweak it or add options to reduce some of the on-screen elements.
Dam this looks really good! I can’t remember the last time I watched a trailer more than 2 min and want to move on yet this 43 min video I sat through it all. This is definitely my type of game! Can’t wait till Feb!
