Tribal war is back. Tribes: Ascend is a Free 2 Play FPS following in the footsteps of the hallmark and ground breaking titles Starsiege: Tribes and Tribes 2. And it's freaking awesome. It's a breath of fresh air in a genre dominated by slow moving tactical titles. As the saying goes, in Tribes you GOTTAGOFAST. I should also mention that there are no (or almost none) hitscan weapons. It's all projectile. You need to lead your shots.
Currently it's still in an open beta stage, but on April 12th it's going live for all to play. You can download the open beta here:
www.tribesascend.comSome info: This game is dominated by CTF, but there is also Team Death Match, Arena (5v5, 25 lives per team), and Rabbit (similar to The Living Daylights, except once a person reaches 25 points they win).
There are a total of 9 currently available loadouts (classes). By getting the game you have access to three:
1)
Pathfinder. Light class for flag caps.2)
Soldier. Medium offensive class.3)
Juggernaut. Heavy defense.The six additional classes are as follows, and can be unlocked for 18,000 experience points each (rather easy to earn).
4)
Sentinel. Light sniper class.5)
Infiltrator. Light "spy" class.6)
Raider. Medium offensive class.7)
Technician. Medium armor, base defense.8 )
Doombringer. Heavy base defense.9)
Brute. A heavy armored class for mixed defense and offense.Additional weapons and upgrades to armor and currently owned weapons can be unlocked with earned exp. points or gold (purchased with IRL money). You do not have to buy anything with real money to be good, it is not a Pay 2 Win game.
I hope y'all will join us in the carnage.
