I remember 64 player battles on 14.4k dial up with no lag back in the day. Starsiege: Tribes had (and still has) one of the best game engines ever in my opinion. Anything that can be played lag free on 14.4k (not even 56k) dial up in a 64 or 128 player server without lag is fucking amazing. Especially when you consider how much goes on in Tribes and how big the maps are. I really hope Hi-Rez keeps the Darkstar engine for Tribes: Ascend.
Tribes may have gotten the ball rolling (and I upgraded my video card and had LAN parties just for Tribes, believe me, I enjoyed singlehandedly taking out a baserape team with smartly placed laser turrets) but Halo took the baton for the sprint. Halo is the champ on the team, but Tribes really got it started, yes.
@darkoni12398 Absolutely! Although I preferred the physics of Vengeance over 2 (little more true to the original), but HATED grappling hooks lol. I'm stoked.
@sikorski1337 But didnt vengeance also do away with being able to destroy bases and repair packs and replace them with health pickups....i just heard this game has regenerating health which might mean no repair packs which might mean no destroying enemy turrets, vehicle pads, solar pannels, shield generator, ect.....i miss when people would rage that u destroyed their base and mined where the repair pack spawns!
Stop fighting about Halo and Tribes, just enjoy the fuckin' game. This looks awesome. I never played Tribes, and I played every halo ('cept for Halo wars). And this gameplay looks amazing.
This looks fucking awesome for a F2P shooter. It's a shame a name like Tribes has to come back as a F2P shooter though, because that undoubtedly means play 2 win. Fuck that shit. I'd rather pay 20 bucks once for an even playing field than pay 4 dollars every month to rent a gun that should be available to everyone.
You believe the argument of the existence of divinity is confined to scholars? Regardless, you're missing the point I was making. Such arguments are inane because they're impossible to conclude. Which is why they persist.
Played the shit out of Starsiege with my [Bud] clan back in the day, and can't wait to make a comeback on Ascend. Goodbye social life. Hello again Tribes.
@matthewtransformer I am sorry to break it for you, but i have never played Halo before.... I have played many FPS games too and i do enjoy them. I love games like Battlefield and Call of Duty. This just looks odd, not something i am used too :P
@Psyshimmer You're comparing the philosophical debate of the existence of God to a trivial argument over video games? It's an argument of children too ignorant to accept the fact that someone in the world doesn't agree with them. A debate of scholars and a debate of butthurt 12 years are completely different.
I player tribes about 9 years ago and i did not understand what to do, but im older now and i saw this TOO EPIC TRAILER! and all i can say is: WHERE DID I PUT THAT CD?!?!?! I WANT TO PLAY IT AGIAN TILL TRIBES ASCEND COMES OUT!!
why fight over video games just shut up and play it not sure why halo is getting compared to it anyways they both seem different and I love me some halo and this game seems awesome to and I cant wait to play try it
GUYS GUYS lets not compare halo and tribes, Tribes did come way before halo but it doesn't mean halo is any less good. and halo people tribes is a great game that paved the way for competitive multiplayer so respect.
If only e-sports were as big back when tribes was big. It would have been awesome. Lets hope to still see tribes make it as an e-sport, it is THE best team based fps out there. It requires the most skill of any of them. To this day tribes still pwns battlefield and halo combined squared!
@ibindude From what I know so far, it's cosmetics (like armor suits in halo) and getting unlockable stuff faster (that normally would require much more time).
about time they released some actual footage, looks sick, hopefully the gameplay doesnt make me sick. Another free to play game? A bit of a worry as the company they bought the rights to this game from went out of business for doing the same thing!
could they please make the guns bigger, 1/4 of my view taken up by the gun doesnt seem like enuf : / There had better be an option to hide its view.......
@lWholemaster lol thnks for posting posting that. I was about to write the "hey this looks like halo!" generic comment, but you just saved me from making an ass of myself.
@lWholemaster it kind of is. not the series itself, but this game in particular. i mean, the original tribes was kind of like half lifeand red faction (even though red faction came out in 2001). but this just looks like halo in many graphical and gameplay aspects.
Freaking Awesome!!!!! Ive missed Tribes for so long. Please developers... dont screw this up. Just take Tribes 2 update the eye candy and leave the balance of the game alone.
before people start trolling like idiots, the first Tribes game was made way before halo, halo came right after this made by the same developers. This is why the weapons and vehicles look so alike.
As much of a halo fan i am i must say THIS IS 100% ORIGINAL

Tribes is not a fight between aliens
Tribes 1: Jetpacks flying vehicals 3 classes of armor no races involved
Halo 1: Covenent, Humans Hard as F*** to get a flying vehicals
no jetpacks no class system
Tribes 2: 3 class system jetpacks one new race the Bioderms
Loads of vehicals you can spawn when you want
Halo 2: same load of crap but flying vehicals are easier to get and you get to be an alien now oh joy
