Tribes 2

All in all, Tribes 2 is an excellent game. It’s still unpolished around the edges a bit, and the frequent UAE errors are extremely annoying, but as I said previously, some people experience them, others don’t. It’s been rock-stable for me, and it’s been completely unstable for my friend. Regardless, I feel that Tribes 2 redefines the team-based warfare genre with its vehicle combat, high-adrenaline missions, and mind-blowing graphics that will have you drooling over your keyboard, while dodging spinfusor discs. Shazbot, this game kicks ass!

Overall the video quality is pretty good, but not astounding. Most objects have good-looking textures and the models are pretty well made. The large size of the environments seemed to put a major strain on my system and things were often slowed down a little. Luckily there are many adjustments that can be made to the video, so you are able to tweak it to your liking by changing texture details, cloud layers, and many other elements.

That means that despite the problems, it's really, really fun. Go ahead, pick a role - base defender, base destroyer, deployer, flag capper, sniper, run interference against incoming enemies (or to protect the flag runner) - whatever suits your fancy. Learn your role and then learn others. I haven't had this much fun playing a multiplayer shooter since... well... Tribes. New weapons, new vehicles, amazing graphics, stunning sound, and gameplay that really encourages teamwork... it's almost perfect!

If you like team warfare and love online gaming then this game was custom made for you. If you enjoy first person shooters, but only when single player (e.g. Deus Ex or Undying) then you won’t have much fun. A person could eat away some serious time while playing Tribes 2. The appeal of online warfare with this attention to the extras (turrets and vehicles) makes this an awesome online gaming experience.

I had heard a lot of good things about the original Tribes, but like many online games, it's not too friendly to newbies and I wasn’t ready to put in the time to get on the bandwagon. So, I waited for Tribes 2. Now, I’m pissed I was too big of a wuss to get in on this before. Tribes 2 is a beautiful game that brings all-out war to your computer screen. Figuring out the controls and getting used to how to become a meaningful contributor to your team takes some time, but once you get in, it’s easy to get hooked. The options are pretty amazing as you can fly vehicles, defend your base, join up with others in an assault group, or go Rambo and try to take out the enemy solo. Overall, Tribes 2 is an experience that computer FPS fans will not want to miss. Trust me, the moment you enter the game and all hell breaks loose, you’ll know why this game is the bomb.

Tribes 2 ist ein Vertreter der gerade sehr beliebten teamorientierten First Person Shooter, der mit vielen Dingen aufwarten kann, die bisher so nicht umgesetzt wurden. Leider kommt der Spaß beim Spielen wirklich erst online oder in einem Netzwerk auf, und auch dann erst ab einer größeren Zahl von Spielern (insgesamt 32 ). Ob auch im Solomodus noch etwas nachgereicht wird ist bisher unbekannt, aber eine Kampagne mit der Story, die hinter Tribes 2 steckt, könnte durchaus einiges an Spannung bieten. Wer gerne online mit vielen Leuten spielen will, der sollte zugreifen.

Multiplayer fans who have forgotten the subtle and not-so-subtle nuances of team-based play will likely rejoice with Tribes 2. Dynamix's final release serves as a mark of excellence in action-based strategy, open-ended gameplay, good graphics, and pure fun, with only a few stability issues and level design flaws offsetting an otherwise solid effort. If you're aching for some new competition to pull you away from your late-night Counter-Strike sessions and have yet to give Tribes 2 a try, perhaps now is the time.

If you enjoyed Starsiege: Tribes, buying Tribes 2 is a no-brainer. Those with below-average computers might want to check out others' system performance and wait for some patches to be released, but its fast-paced action, great vehicles, awesome weapons and huge battles all make Tribes 2 a great experience that you will enjoy for months to come.

While Tribes 2 does offer a lot of improvements over the original, it doesn't break too much ground either in the area of design or gameplay. But not counting the first Tribes, there's no better online action game around than Tribes 2. Whether you're using your jet pack to fly the enemy flag back to your base, battling enemies in the close confines of a massive base or raining down mortar fire from a high flying hovercraft, Tribes 2 maintains a level of excitement throughout. Tribes 2's arsenal of amazing weapons, fantastic environments and human versus human competition makes for an unforgettable experience.

Niggles aside, this is one helluva game -- and a significant evolutionary step up the ladder for online shooters. The team coordination demands a sophistication that few shooters have ever asked before. If you’ve grown weary of Counter-Strike and TeamFortress Classic, it may be time to set foot into the vast killing fields of Tribes 2. There’s no doubt that with the right hardware, Internet connection and teammates, there’s a truly unique, and amazing gameplay experience to be had. But fall short on any one of those requirements and you could be heading for a pit of frustration. Just remember to keep your Shazbot together.

Tribes 2 is de beste teambased online shooter van het moment en toont aan dat online gaming op de PC een niveau heeft bereikt waar de consoles de eerstkomende jaren niet aan zullen kunnen tippen.

In summing up, Tribes 2 is a vat of undiluted fun for team players and organised clans. Add an integrated browser and email, designed to aid communication between clan members, and it's hard to see why anyone after co-operative action would go elsewhere for their fix. The only downside is that it remains a little too focused on team tactics, meaning newcomers and habitual deathmatchers will feel wholly out of sorts. You need to know that your cohorts are looking out for you, and when they leap out of bombers before reaching the target, or climb a mountain to marvel at the view, you do get a little disheartened. Lack of co-ordination is the bane of many an online game, and in Tribes 2 it can ruin the whole experience.

Einzelgänger können einpacken, wenn sie sich ins Tribes-Universum wagen. Blumentöpfe gewinnt derjenige, der neben guten Reflexen auf Teamwork setzt: Wenn sich die drei rivalisierenden Stämme in den gigantischen Außenwelten bekriegen, ist taktisches Vorgehen und Gruppenarbeit angesagt. Fraggen im Sekundentakt, also das klassische Deathmatch alleine oder im Team - das gibt's zwar auch, harmoniert aber nicht mit dem strategischen Anstrich von Tribes 2.

Tribes 2 is an ambitious follow-up to the game that single-handedly led the charge of multiplayer-only action games into retail. The deep teamplay that you can find in large matches is incredibly addicting and offers some interesting opportunities to cobble together team strategies. The game takes advantage of skills developed in twitch shooters like Quake, but its slower pacing requires a more deliberate and diverse range of tactics. In the end, this will help give Tribes 2 tremendous longevity, especially considering that the original Tribes still rivals both Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena as one of the most played multiplayer action games. Tribes 2 isn't easy to master, and it won't play well on every gaming PC, but when you're up and running it's a tremendous amount of fun.

Yeah! Total war is gearriveerd. Als er nu nog eens wat meer teamspirit op het internet was te vinden...

Na das nenne ich mal erfrischend anders. Tribes 2 dürfte für regen Zuwachs bei der ohnehin stetig wachsenden Gemeinde von Online-Action-Spielern sorgen, hat hinsichtlich des Teamplays erneut Maßstäbe gesetzt und sorgt für reichlich Kurzweil - vorausgesetzt, man spielt in einem fähigen Team. Zum Glück legte Dynamix dem Spiel gleich einen umfangreichen Karten-Editor bei; zwar bieten die mitgelieferten Karten ob ihrer Größe gewieften Taktikern zahllose Vorgehensmöglichkeiten, sehen aber im Ganzen auch fast alle gleich aus.

Tribes 2 is niet makkelijk om onder de knie te krijgen en je moet een beest van een configuratie bezitten, maar als er één online game de moeite (en het geld) waard is, dan is dit het wel !

While Tribes 2 is a great game, for owners of the original Starsiege Tribes, it really isn't enough of an upgrade to necessitate purchasing the newer version. But you will anyway. For those of us that didn't experience the meaty goodness of Tribes 1, Tribes 2 is a great game to delve into the online first person shooter community. The combination of the gameplay elements make for an unique experience which honestly is not paralleled in any other game. Tribes 2 continues the tradition of excellence in the series, and is a game which should not be missed.

I really wish I could tell you to rent this game, but that’s impossible. However, you probably have a friend who will own this title soon. Go over to his or her house, and check it out!

Dans l'univers des Doom-like, Tribes et maintenant Tribes 2 ont une place à part, assez éloignée des Quake et autres Unreal. Tribes 2 offre une nouvelle manière de concevoir le frag en équipe, ou plus exactement la guerre virtuelle (des parties jusqu'à 64 combattants, de vastes cartes et des véhicules). Rien que par son côté épique, servi par un moteur 3D graphique impressionnant, le titre de Dynamix vaut largement le détour pour tous les amateurs de batailles rangées à grande échelle. Seules conditions toutefois, posséder une machine relativement puissante et surtout prévoir une prise en main légèrement plus longue que d'ordinaire pour ce type de jeu. Pour le reste, des heures et des heures d'affrontements sur terre, sur mer et dans les airs (et surtout sur Internet) n'attendent plus que vous !

Véritablement novateur dans le domaine du jeu d'action par équipe, Tribes 2 brille par son gameplay original et la qualité de sa réalisation. Le quota impressionnant de joueurs autorisé online apporte une dimension particulière à ce titre, qui devrait satisfaire tout amateur de FPS prêt à repenser sa manière de jouer pour profiter d'un jeu plus riche et plus profond que ce qui se fait habituellement dans ce domaine.

It came out awhile ago, but I still enjoy this game very much. Tribe 2 is a really fun action packed multiplayer game by Sierra. Up to 100+ players in a boundary less battleground, this game serve’s you complete options for team play, clanning, lone wolfing, and even terrorizing (if your one of those annoying friendless players).

På det hela taget är Tribes 2 ett välgjort och ganska imponerande projekt som med ytterligare förändringar kan bli mer tillgängligt, överblickbart och kanske till och med riktigt roligt. Än så länge får det ge vika för de andra onlinebjässarna i samma genre.

Es gibt hier manchmal diese speziellen Augenblicke, in denen selbst abgebrühte Online-Junkies die Luft anhalten. Dann, wenn sich drei Dutzend Kämpfer halbwegs organisiert beharken, Bomber über den Himmel ziehen und ein Panzer den Berg hinunterrollt. Schade, dass diese Momente sehr selten sind. Die meiste Zeit im Spiel ärgere ich mich. Vor allem über die Karten: Die sehen letztlich alle gleich steril aus, heimisch fühle ich mich da nicht. Auch die gewaltigen Entfernungen werden schnell nervig. Da trifft mich eine Granate im Rücken, und schon darf ich den weiten Weg zur feindlichen Flagge wieder antreten. Spätestens beim dritten Mal beiße ich frustriert in die Tastatur – ich bin PC-Spieler, kein Marathonläufer! Auch mit den Waffen bin ich nicht so recht warm geworden, abgesehen vom Raketenwerfer sind sie alle zu langweilig. Trotz der guten Ansätze wird Tribes 2 auf meiner Festplatte nicht allzu lange überleben.

Tribes 2 more than stumbled out of the gate. After countless delays another delay might not have been such a bad idea. Most of the pieces are in place but they are rough around the edges -- even after seven patches. If, however, you are able to overcome the technical difficulties, a great game can be found.

Tribes 2 is a great multiplayer experience, and breathes some new life into the multiplayer scene. Worth buying by all means, especially if you're looking to get into online gaming not-withstanding its high system requirements. However, if you didn't like Tribes 1 then this isn't for you.

Tribes 2 är ett proffsigt och väl fungerande nätverksspel för de som gillar mycket lagarbete och planering, men de som vill ha snabb, kompromisslös action bör leta någon annanstans.
