Downloading as we speak. Hurry before they run out of keys again. It was posted on Penny-Arcade so I give it 24hrs til its closed again.

You do have to be a member, but you can be a free member.

This is bringing me back, rushing off the school bus after middle school and calling up my friends to join a server :D "Man my computer is lagging so bad dude"

[Steelrat]

I was in a clan hardcore in T1, and I dabbled in T2. I just completed my download, maybe its time to be a tribester again. Its times like this im glad i have a 6MPS download speed :D

[ScatterPlot]

Woohoo, I got it! I feel so accomplished now :)



I think I deserve a little :dance:

[digitard]

Yeah.

Back in T1 I was in a clan [US] (umbra solaris). Then we got adopted into DMM's (diamon multimedia used to have the best servers, now they're homelan) group.

I never got into T2, but I really dig Ven. I like the smaller/faster gameplay. I used to love being on the outside sniping in T1, but took SO long to get anywhere. Nowhere near as annoyingly long as Planetside did.

[Toranaga]

Ya, T1 was a great game, I was in the clan SeeD. T2 was pretty bad, but Vengeance seems to be looking good so far.

[NJPaint]

T1 was of course the greatest game ever created. Played for {ask} and practiced a few times with =s3= and |5150| (cool guys, but insane :)) T:V brought back the feel of T1, no more moving around in jello (T2). Except the disc speeds are a little slow.

[FutureMagOwner]

god i remember tribes 1, you know they give that and i think tribes 2 out for free now?

i tried out tribes the other day, took me back a couple years lol, god i remember wasting one summer playing the tribes rpg mod, i have no idea why it wasnt that great but i just loved it

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Fileplanet is making me mad, I am logged in, already have my game key and everything, but I click on the DL link and it says i'm not logged in. Bu in the top left of the SAME FRIGGING PAGE it says I am logged in. WTF. Does ANYONE have a link to a non-fileplanet mirror? I just need a DL link, I have a key.

[Irelandunfree]

In T1 I was one of the first three people to start AOH, the other two being my best friends. When I stoped playing I went back after like a year and started playing, the people start harrassing me saying that I wasnt a member of the tribe and I sucked etc :mad: Little did they know I was an OG :ninja:

[FragTek]

Looks like this game is a little too "advanced" for my laptop :( I guess I'll just continue playing HL based games until the end of time, or until I build another desktop, haha.

[FutureMagOwner]

anyone else have a tendency of the game crashing their entire computer when trying to do various generally undemanding processes like opening an invintory station?

[Toranaga]

YA that happens to me sometimes too. Very annoying

[digitard]

Its a beta man. Give it some slack...lol.

I dig it so far. Has a faster feel than T2, better graphics, smaller maps (Which I like, I was a big fan of Broadside in T1 and the grapling hook ROCKS the cavern map. I love hanging from the ceiling w/ that thing...lol.

On my GF4 TI 4200 128meg I have most of the graphics at highest (few lil tings like water and shadows turned down) and I get a pretty smooth framerate (few hiccups here and there). Im really diggin' it.

I might have to startup a T:V server, wait my server box is Linux. Nevermind.

[MrWallen]

I don't know why, but I just can't get myself to like this game...bleh, I guess I just don't get it, someone please explain it to me!

[LittlePaintballBoy]

I bet I could... If I could find a mirror :cry:

[digitard]

I actually downloaded mine from a mirror. FilePlanet takes too long.

I'll get you the link later when I'm at home.

You do need a cdkey to even install the game, so if ya dont have one (just in general) then unfortunately it cant install.

[Warewolf50]

What type of game is this, FPS or what.

[digitard]

Its an FPS.

Tribes revolutionalized online gameplay. It was the first massive multiplayer FPS game honestly. Sure previous games had netplay and lan capability. But tribes was really the first to give large scale gameplay with different role possibilities.

Tribes 2 just bit...lol

If you go to Fileplanet I think you can download the original Tribes for free. I prefer the SHIFTER Mod (no mod installs needed, server side mod).

[LittlePaintballBoy]

I already have a key, I got it from FilePLanet, but it wouldn't let me click the download link. Thanks in advance for supplying a mirror :)

scroll down a bit... you're prolly trying to get into the paid links, I was doing the same thing.

[MrWallen]

Or you could just PAY for FilePlanet, never wait in line, and get awesome speeds. So far it's really fun, and I highly advise it to anyone with some extra cash.

[Warewolf50]

when i go into it there are no servers listed, and it says like 2 players online. WHat am i doing wrong here.

[LittlePaintballBoy]

6th in line! 2 Minutes!

5th!

w00t! It' ready!

[Warewolf50]

How The Poo Do I Find Games To Play In

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Yay it is downloasing!

[digitard]

There ya go. Mirrors.

Sorry for the delay. Had to do it when I had time at work. I have to VNC into my home computer cause I didn't have the web address here.

WAREWOLF: It only shows you like 2 servers? Thats weird, I get like 60+.

How are you accessing the online features.

[Warewolf50]

Umm its showing me no servers, well im jsut loading the game like i would any other, but in the join game screen there is no update tab, and also no servers listed.

[digitard]

Yeah there's a Refresh Servers button. Let me try to access it remotely at home (im at work) and see if I can get ya the step by step. Otherwise I can when I get home.

[Warewolf50]

Ok thanks, i see the refresh all buttton but when i click it nothign happens.

[digitard]

haha I love remote access. If I had a faster connection at home I could play at work with remote access... gotta love being in the main center for a company, fast connection here.

I just clicked into the game, clicked join and there was a REFRESH ALL button. Clicked it and the server list came up.

Make sure your router isn't blocking any ports that might be needed?

[Warewolf50]

Well i figured out what is wrong, zone alarm is blocking it, now i jsut need to figure out how to get it to stop doing that.

[digitard]

Find out what port ZONE ALARM is blocking that the game is accessing and disable it in Zone Alarm. Otherwise turn it off while you play.

[Warewolf50]

I found it, i jsut changed the setting of zone alarm to allow Tribes to aces the internet. I got it working and the game is pretty awesome. Seems alot like unreal turni, but extremely fun. Deffintly woth the download.

[digitard]

It uses the Unreal Warfare (the UT2K3/2K4) engine if I'm correct, but its a different style of gameplay.

Definitaly a blast.

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Son of a foot. I Donwloaded it all last night, come down in the morning expecting some sweet Tribes action, but no, my god foresaken video card isn't good enough. I should just go buy a nice one now, i'll definately need one for HL2.

Yeai jsut got a BFG Gforce 6800 OC, i cal run all the settings on ultra High and it runs flawlessly.

[digitard]

I run it on a GeForce 4 TI 4200 128meg w/ newest drivers, DX 9c and thats really it. I turned down the water effects a bit, and shadowing a tiny bit (i hate shadows actually... distracting) and it works fine. I get the occasional frame hop, but thats it.

[Snapps]

What servers you guys playing in?

So far one of my favorite maps has to be caverns in light armor with a rocket launcher, fireblaster and the hookshot...i feel like spiderman on speed....

[Archangel Kid]

GeForce XFX 5200, weak card and I'm running stock settings fine... maybe a little slower then I'd like :)

[Snapps]

Running a Geforce Fx 5600, running in 800x600 pretty well with most of the settings on high
