If you hit C it brings up the command menu (which was much underused, in my opinion. It's so cool =P)

Now that I bring it up, you could consider this part RTS, have one guy giving orders to people and such =P

I just downloaded it and played. Holy crap...
 

This has to be the best FPS game I have ever played. Bounty and hunter is epic. Siege an' to bad to.

anyone here running this game on the turd that is vista? ive got this game on disk but have never managed to get it work on my current vista PC.

Wow, I can't seem to make Tribes 2 to work. at all. It either has an unhandled exception if I start it up unpatched, and if I patch it, it doesn't work, and doesn't even recognize the executable.

[Sowelu]

But! Tribes had a helluva' mod presence, from what I remember.

Ffffffff--

Four years after Tribes 1 came out, you could not find an unmodded server, and that ruined the game for me.  It was very frustrating, since I liked the original a lot.  It was simple(ish), it was pure.

I missed this when it first cam out due to being rather young. I think I'll give it a whirl

[Alehkhs]

Shit, I haven't played this in forever...

[inteuniso]

Seriously though, anyone else having the same problem? I would like to play online multiplayer with you guys.

[de5me7]

a while back i dug it out, and tried, theres fixes out there ill try and find some then edit this post, but they didnt cut the mustard on vista, i could get it to start, and run for a few minutes then it would crash. Maybe it'd work better on xp.

so i repeat does anyone on this thread have it actually running if so on what os?

Hold down the jump button

Skiing is performed by repeated jumping on a downward slope, this builds up speed. When your path begins going into an upward slope, begin jetpacking to increase upward momentum, once you reach the crest of the hill, search for another downward slope to land on and continue the process.
 Doing this you can reach incredible speeds.

I can meander around the tutorials in some variation or another of XP. Getting it run was as simple as installing, patching, and setting it to run. I haven't tried online yet, though, just the solo and LAN shortcut.

Hold down the jump button

While going downhill, at least to start. Trying to go uphill (without addin' some thrust, anyway) isn't going to get you goin' very quickly.

[Sowelu]

So is this the skiing concept:
- No speed is lost when going downhill / level
- By the time you hit an up-slope, your jetpack is recharged?
