I see nothing except the blank space and a smiley face. Even when I check the source. What gives?

Edit: Is it an ad?

Mmh, I'd get it, but it's 100% online, right? would suck to get it and have nobody to play with, if it's that old :doubt:

There's still a strong community for Tribes, there's always a full server (as in enough people for it to be fun) or two for whatever mod (or base/classic) you want to play.

Tribes 2 does have a short singleplayer training campaign, plus you can play maps with bots if you want to. However, bots are never as good as other humans.

Most self-proclaimed "l33t" Tribes players though state that Tribes 1 is the better game, once you have a few client-side scripts to give it the Tribes 2 shortcuts.

Anyways, I'm sure most FS players/flightsimmers will like the fliers in T1 and especially the ones in T2.

Let me rephrase:

Would suck to get it and have nobody I know to play with.
From my experience, if playing an MMORPG with strangers can be very interesting, the same with an FPS usually leads to disaster.

"NOTE: FilePlanet has ran out of Tribes 2 keys. If you happen to get a download but not a key, they were on a first-come, first-served basis but check back because we might get more to distribute. "

gwahgwahgwah.
When you give a game away for free, you get rid of keys, one would think :doubt:

D/l is closed. Man, there's been more than 54000 d/ls, how long has this thing been up?

[color=66ff00]Can I assume that keygens are out there?

Also, is it not possible to set up a server yourself or does it go through some online server system for verification a la counterstrike and WON?

I know there's a (very pathetic) bot system in place for single player.. but the game really didn't grip me. Tribes 3 may do better.

Trying to downloading it sucks horribly though. After giving them "accurate and up to date personal information", I got in line, estimated time 36 minutes. 5 Minutes later, time to wait 60 minutes. They must work in some backward world... but that's FilePlanet for ya. ;)

I would threaten you in some way related to the game, but I cant remember how said threats would translate into what the Cybrids call speech.

Thorn what you're looking for is a comment like:

Human//Animal submit\\kowtow to acknowledge the superiority of < StarSiege > over your mundane\\pathetic games that lack the presence of the < NEXT >. If < you > continue your errant behavior\\bugthought < you > will be redacted!

:pbbbtt!: Praise < First Thought:: Giver-of-Will >!
