How many people have heard of/played/currently play a computer game called Starseige: Tribes, or the more recent Tribes 2?

Played the original. Too laggy. If you want to try it, I'd highly recommend developing a liking for light armor, disc launchers, and using jetpacks strategically.

Heard of: Yes.

I had no interest in Tribes.

Tribes 2 looked really cool, but I'm somewhat poor and don't buy games often, so I have alot of higher priorities.

I just uninstalled Tribes 2 today, I love it though. Once I get a new hard drive, hopefully this weekend some time, I'll reinstall and start playing again.

As for the original, I only played the demo, but prefer the sequel.

I've been a big fan of Tribes 1, and was thinking of buying Tribes 2. But then I heard about how buggy it was when Tribes 2 was first released; can anyone tell me if it's still really buggy?

No, not realy buggy,
it more of the peoples computer

on the box, they say it clearly that you need a powerfull comp to play the game to the max.

but, whit a 32 video card, 228 ram & a pentium 4 & a good internet conection (not a 56K)

you have fun

also, to have a edge on the game, good surond sistem, good mouse (need some space so you dont have to lift it to often)

geting in a Tribe & play the Concuring planets leader is verry nice =)

Tribes is one of the best games ever. It IS the best PC game I've ever played unmodded. I have Tribes 2, but haven't played it much because the base Tribes community pretty much fell apart when it was released.

Dynamix getting axed didn't help much either.

Tribes 1 was better in replayability because it was the first of its kind, plus it didn't need a mega whopping computer to run it. Tribes 2 is fun though, stinks that you can't aim straight down though like T1.

What I thought interesting about Tribes 2 was..

Fluctuating system specs based on the video capabilities...

Yes, I've played Tribes 2 longer than any other FPS I've ever owned.

I play Renegades mod. It just seems fresher and more fun than base (even if it is "unbalanced", whatever that means)
