And on the flip side, disk launcher jousting was unlike anything and really cool and fun.

Also I didn't have space to mention, Tribes 1 had a very active modding community. I rarely played on vanilla T1 servers. The base game was good, but a little thin in some ways and there were a bunch of base mods that improved it. There were tons of other more in depth ones as well. My favorite were the Shifter ones which had a ton of classes, weapons and items.

But there were some that were WW2 themed, another that was wild west with the bikes being janky horses. Even a Star Wars one that was never finished.

Tribes 2 never got modded as much or (in my opinion) as well. The shifter mod took a long time and didn't have the same flavor. On the flip side though, the vanilla game was much more solid and what most people ended up playing.

Launch day was crazy because the vehicles had this super precise flying system that made them incredibly hard to control. Whole matches were people getting into ships and then crashing them immediately.

Pretty much by the next day there was a physics patch that made them much easier to handle, but eventually some mods used the old controls/physics and it was amazing what you could do in them.

Did anyone else here play and love Starseige Tribes? These are the only fps games I was ever deep into. Many many wonderful hours though.

So Tribes thread! Thoughts, memories, stories. Whatever. Tribes 2 release day when Shrike physics were super loose was hilarious.

Makes me happy there are people who remember it fondly. I had mono that lasted over 6 months and for so much of that I would just play tribes and go hide on a hill waiting for someone to snipe because my head was too foggy to to anything else.

Tribes and Tribes 2 ruined every other FPS for me after that. Even when they tried to make new Tribes, it wasn't good enough.

Glory days...
