Starsiege: TRIBES is one of the most influential game franchises of all time. Yet despite that legacy, it has never truly reached mainstream success. In this...
I loved Tribes. The verticality, the freedom of movement, the timing of slow moving projectiles. It’s one of the few multiplayer FPS that I sunk time in to and got quite competent at.
The only other game to scratch the freedom of movement itch in the same way was AVP2, playing as the Alien (wall walking, pouncing across the map, etc) though obviously it didn’t have a lot of the same features.
Tribes is so far behind me that I don’t remember any of the people, servers, etc that I played on, but I do remember my nick: Guy In The Sky.
As others mentioned… Mods. I frequently played Renegades, but I believe HaVoC was my favourite.

Oh, and PlanetTribes/PlanetStarsiege? F.
