Im an old tribes1 player and just picked this up. Sweet game, much better than tribes2, any other Tribes fans?

I enjoyed Tribes 2 because it had bot support. I look forward to getting Vengence.

It really does lack the depth of tribes 2. But it is a fun and differsnt shooter in its own right.

I found TV to be a total disapointment.

This comming from a old old old T1 and T2 vet.

phobs2 · 11-08-2004, 04:29 PM

hmm thats strange, most people I know who liked T1 liked TV, but friends who liked T2 didnt like TV so much.

Play UT2004 it has better vehicles and weapons.

They killed Tribes. T2 may have had allot of bugs and wasn’t quite complete but it had so much depth to it and was very innovative for its time. I think it had the most potential of any shooter ever made. They should have expanded on T2 instead of making a Quake clone. The franchise will never recover after Vengeance, Tribes is dead and it’s such a shame.

I have a friend that's a diehard tribes fan (1, 2, and Vengeance).

UT2004 is a very similar counterpart, and imo, a much better game.

I bought it and passed, but when I tried to play it online, it said product key already in use...like WTF? The only reason I bough the freaking game was so I wound't have this problem. AND the sierra help page doesn't work. But for the story mode it kicked ass.

TV is great, i love running around in light armor with the grapple hook the in the cavern. Makes for some fast paced flag grabs.

I also played Tribes 1 base back in the day, and I preordered T:V but still haven't picked it up. Was too busy for the first few weeks and honestly the fan reaction hasn't made me too excited. I played it throughout beta and it seemed like it might finally be the game that brought the Tribes community back together but it looks like that's not possible. Using the UT engine perhaps wasn't the greatest idea either. It seems the T2 people don't like it because they took out all the extra stuff and vehicle power that the Dave Georgeson team added, and the T1 people don't like it because it's not T1 and nothing will be as good as T1 for us/them. But I'll eventually pick it up and hopefully get some good play time out of it as I eventually did out of T2 even though I didn't play that at all right after release either.

Tribes:Vengeance is my introduction to the series, but I think it kicks ass. I am working through the single-player story (it's loong by my standards) and I have been "stuck" about 3 times. Learning is required, especially learning to keep moving, jet combat style. T:V is a challenge, and I gotta say overall I've been bored waiting for the next Riddick game, but T:V has my full attention..OOOh shit- That's not healthy..

Hi,
I like it, but hard for me to get used to the flying and ski'ing, my 7 year old loves it though, so sometimes we play against each other.

Lswa · 11-09-2004, 09:36 AM

I enjoyed t1 and t2 because there was a ton of variations to strategy, and they also had learning curves into the range of hours. Anytime a fps game has a curve longer than an hour, it tends to scare people away. But for a true team based game, the tribes series takes the trophy any day.
