I did a few searches of NL, and found NO MENTION ANYWHERE of this fantastic game. So I've got to let you know about it. It's an FPS. It's the most 3-Dimensional FPS I've ever played. Everyone is equipped with a jetpack, so... yeah. It's fun. It involves a lot of strategy too, you can't just rush into the enemy base or you'll be dead before you hit the ground. But don't just trust me, this game is free. I think Dynamix went out of business or something, I dunno... anyway, get it at tribesnext.com. We need more people. It has been dead for years, fans have just patched online to work again. It's my mission to tell more people about it.

Here's a gameplay vid if you're interested.

Unfortunately, not as easy as it looks.

Cool, didn't realize it was free now! I always wanted to play Tribes 2 back in the UT days tbh, but never got around to it.

Tribes is a fun series, but broken in terms of balance.

What do you mean by broken in terms of balance? In CTF at least, each side is completely equal, with symmetrical bases and teams evenly divided.

By which I mean the players themselves have broken the game balance. Sure, that happens in every title, but the number of bugs and exploits that are used in Tribes boggles the mind. That doesn't the game itself is bad, I should add. I guess it could have changed since I played it but I'm pretty doubtful.

One thing that comes to mind now that you mention it is people ramming people with a turbograv, sometimes impossible to see, though I've learned to look out for that. I see what you mean though. Btw, skiing isn't really an exploit, it's included in the training missions of T2.
And... I wasn't playing it way back when, but I think it's changed for the worse... there isn't as much teamplay as there used to be, it's more everyone do something we don't care what it is, we could have 10 individual flag cappers all attacking at the same time. Though it's still fun and all.
