Pros: Many game variations, still very active community. Cons: Teamwork is hit-or-miss, sometimes too many hot dogs.
Opening Thoughts
I've been playing Tribes since 1999, though I took about 9 months off and began playing again this summer. I was pleasantly surprised to see there are still a large number of active servers, communities, clans, and...
Pros: Team play, sniper mode. Cons: Some of the players on the net are really frickin' cheezy.
Now that everyone and their mom has released their own first-person shooter, there's a huge battle between companies to figure out how to make their first-person shooter different than their mother's. Some try to sell the customer with their artwork....
Pros: Near everything about this game! Cons: Team killers, ping issues (rarely)
I remember some odd two and a half years ago, me and my friend where talking about video cards and games, he soon asked me if I had ever played the Online based game Tribes, I replied with the answer no. (At the time I was playing Unreal Tournament a...
Starsiege Tribes was a gutsy game to make. While multiplayer only games have been announced and they have the backing of names like Quake 3 Arena, to actually release the first one on a public that is used to a singleplayer mode to fall back upon...
Pros: Fun, low-medium difficulty, great graphics/sounds, team-playing, IRC-support, price (I got it for $10!!). Cons: The better computer you have, the better performance. Can be ADDICTING ;)
Starsiege Tribes 1 is one of the funnest game out there. First, you go through a single-player training process in order to become accustomed to the game. THEN, you connect to one of the MANY online servers to play. This is where the real fun is....
Pros: Amazing gameplay and replayability, good OpenGL support in latest patch, still considered an incredible game after being in the market for a year, cheap! Cons: Graphics could be a little more detailed
I've been playing Tribes for over a year now. Over this period of time, unlike most games, I've continued to play regardless of the game becoming "outdated." Tribes is truly one of the greatest and most revolutionary PC multiplayer games...
Pros: Up to 32 players per serer, free servers. Cons: With highbandwith, this game rocks :)
The Basics:
Forget EarthSiege, shun the memory of its unable-to-dent Mechwarrior II sequel, and clear your mind of all visions of giant robots clunking along. Turn the eye of memory to the past, to the Xanadu of QuakeWorld and its many...
Pros: One of the best first person shooter games on the market. Cons: Lag can get kind of heavy. One player mode isn't fun.
This game is one of the best first person shooter games I have seen. I've played most and this one stands out. You can train on one player or go for full out war with multi player mode. You play one tribes(teams) and go for one objective: to kick the...
Pros: Great multiplayer features, wonderful flexibility Cons: Fairly aging graphics, some ways to play unfairly.
I have not played a game other than Tribes for quite a while now. It is extremely addictive in the sense that new maps and mods for it automatically and quickly download whenever you choose to connect to a server running that map or mod. There is an...
Pros: More than just a shooter game - there's quite a bit strategy involved as well as different roles to take on. Cons: If you're the only one in your tribe with a team mentality, you won't have much to do.
I normally hate first person shooter games. Partially because I stink at them, but mostly because once you've seen one, you've seen most of them. So I was a bit skeptical about even putting Tribes on my computer.
Pros: Excellent graphics, terrain, detail. Multiplayer over the internet, lan. Cons: Several patches needed.
Welcome to the tribes universe. This game redefines the first-person shooter genre. Unlike other FPS's(First Person Shooters) like Quake(1,2,3), Unreal Tournament, Doom, etc., this game takes place almost exclusively outdoors. You may think that this...
