Man Tribes 2 in its heyday was something else. The 60+ person matches on Miami Vehicles was peak multiplayer gaming for me. Glad to see it's still going! VGCG
i've never understood why this game wasn't sequelled every few years in perpetuity; it's such a simple recipe for social fun, that worked so well with large player counts on early internet connections, with so many opportunities to tweak and keep it interesting; just updating it's graphics alone would have meant kids would never have heard of fortnite
Can't be tribes, I don't hear the soundtrack of "HURRY UP WITH THAT HUR HUR HURR HURRY UP WITH THAT STATI HUR HUR HURRU UP WITH THAT STATION HURHUR HURRY UP WITH THAT STATION."
I feel like this game was ahead of it's time in a few ways. The in game profiles, chat, forums, etc were so cool when the game was new too. In 2001 I remember many didn't have good enough hardware to run it, and voice chat/high speed internet wasn't as common. After Ascend, I firmly believe the franchise is cursed. I don't want a spiritual successor though, I want more tribes. Spinfusers, Blood Eagles, all that good stuff.
When my dad showed me this as a kid he had no idea that he was showing me possibly one of the best multiplayer first person shooters in history. He had no clue that I'd be trying to convince my friends that instead of halo 3 or call of duty we should try this game that barely works on any modern operating system past XP, has horribly out dated graphics, and has *never been surpassed or properly succeeded*. This game deserves to live.
"It's all voice spam and toilet humor." That's half the fun of the game! Depressing how newer games have gone the opposite way in terms of in-game communication.
i wasn't related to that group but my name was M|st|K and i played so much tribes that i stunted my virginity on my teenage years playing this game, with no regret xD
Discord Pub is usually populated around 9-10pm Eastern. You'll need the TribesNext client to play if you don't have it already. Here's where you download everything you'll need: playt2.com
Had this game when I was a kid but could never get it installed on my computer. Was too young to understand my computer probably wasn't even close to being able to handle running it.
@@numidium3 I used to play this game back in 2005-2007 but I only had the demo version but like religiously I used to map and everything I still have all the maps I made on a cd somewhere lol
One of the greatest games of all time
The greatest game of all time*
And it hurts so much when you try to explain it to the younger generations of gamers who never experienced a game like this...

The Spinfuser is such an iconic weapon
Incredible game back when it came out. Still would play a remake today as long as they didn’t add to much crap to it to make it “deeper”

i blame aphantasia that keeps people from consuming anything that isn't trying to be photorealistic graphics
This was and still is the best multiplayer game.

@@RaexxorLP midair is dead
Nice MA @ 06:41 mate! With a 200 ping I rarely manage those, but thats why I still play at 73 yrs old! (au73yrOldFart)
I remember installing this on a Pentium 2 266MHz, 128MB RAM, and a Voodoo 2 8MB.
That system just couldn't hack it....
Bro. Voodoo had the best PCGamer spots

That's half the fun of the game!

Lots of great memories playing this game. The particle effects & explosions still look good.
Ah, Nostalgia. I used to spend hours practicing with the grapple.
This game, counter strike and age of empires online.... damn I miss it. Renegade mod ctf and duels was the shit
Houston Vehicles, where you at?!
Ayo! Fun times!

How do you play this these days? I miss this game so much.
There's a guide to getting set up here: playt2.com/
i only played original tribes in high school when it came out, this looks a lot slower
Are servers still up in 2023?!?!
There's one North American server that's populated around 9pm EST. You'll need to get the client here though: playt2.com/
What server is this? Holy shit! XD
Anyone playing this in OSX? 🤓
4:45
Are there still online servers
There's one that's active daily around 9pm est. The rest are empty or filled with bots.
