T2 is not the largest game out there, but it has the best community BY FAR! many counterstrike players try T2 and complain and leave because it actually requires skill. competition gameplay is anywhere from 7 to 14 people on each team practicing each day for hours at a time, and coordinating on voice-communication programs. Standard gameplay is Capture the flag. competition ladders and forums on www.teamwarfare.com and a huge IRC community at irc.dynamix.com if you got the time, and the patience, there is no other game like T2.

Great game, of course its great cause its Tribes. Hopefully the re-release (which this is) will be smoother than the original. Like the ability to just install, to current patched state. Saves from having to download patches and manually install them. Shoutouts to TribalWar, 4M, TribesTalk etc

Well here it is folks. The game that many of us have been waiting two years for. While the game has been available for more than a year and a half, it has been plagued with problems from the start. Now Siera, in their infinite wisdom decided to listen to the people that decide on the longevity of a game, the true, diehard fans. The game that Siera rushed out the door was a slow, trudgingly boring piece of work that had all th AI doing most of the work for the Defense. The gameplay is now more balanced, more stable, and two new mods have been added for the people who are hardcore. Tribes 2 classic and Team Rabbit 2 have been added after Alex Rodberg, the Siera marketing guru decided to listen to what the competitive community had to say. These mods are not for the weak of heart. The gameplay is fast, furious and relies on skill to play to any amount of success. Here's to you Alex. Team Rabbit 2 is the best game to ever be released. Right next to Tribes 1 that is. <3

There web site is closed and when you try to download this game even from your disc you wont be able to get it to work because there is some final step that you have to go through to get the game started which forces you to go to their website and the website is shut down, which means you cant run the game i tried several things to get this game to run with no luck at all , dont buy this game it wont work and at present my research shows no fix for this issue.

people still play this game and it's now being supported by a large fanbase because it's a truly great game that people love, for good reason. Check it out.

It's true... all the reviews previous to this have some degree of truth in them. Tribes2 is off the scale in the enjoyment scale. The game has had its problems but the new release takes care of all that. The software updater has closed now and the old schoolers will have to alter their shortcuts to read /tribes2.exe -online. The game far excedes anything still to date. all of the T2 online community even believes this game out strips Tribes Vengeance(persent company included). I dont want to spend a lot of time taking up precious space so let me just say that this game is a 100% buy at any price. The highly modible widely experemented with code has such flexibility that you can find a mod that caters to you personal preference. Snipers... invaders... stompers... pilots... theres something for everyone... Ther are construction mods and vehicle mods and my ultimate favorite WAR2005 mod. Player/modders add wepons, abilitys, and vehicles to game play to attract and intertain the truly skilled. Inevitably whiners appear but they never last long... they either get chased off or become good at what we do to them and start doing it back. Unfortunately the interest in T2 has began to wane again and an update and/or re-release isint going to happen again to turn things around. I've found the game for .89 on ebay and I'd still buy if I didnt already have 5 working accounts and 3 copies of software. What was once a 500+ server search each evening has been reduced to 100+/- on a good day 45 or less on a normal night. find it for under 10.00 and buy it... play it, mod it, host it... LAN gamers this is a plus game for your futuristic war night. 32 players in a server, that's 16 a side people.

The game can be expanded with mods to be even more fun. Mechs, etc - check out shiftermod.com - a great mod for the game.

This game isn't worth the hassle! From experiences, patches are not tested correctly and introduce more bugs with every release. In addition to the bugs, you are required to reinstall the game everytime a new patch is released.

Instead of focusing a solid game, Sierra decided to point fingers at your computer configuration which work fine with every other game but theirs. If you enjoy spending hours trying to fix sierra's mess, by all means buy this game, otherwise avoid it at all cost.
