About Tribes: Ascend
Tribes: Ascend is the world's fastest FPS, where you'll ski and jetpack across massive maps in high-flying, class-based team combat with vehicles and escalating match intensity. It's a free-to-play shooter that rewards skill and teamwork with pure adrenaline-fueled vertical gameplay that sets it apart from every other shooter out there.
Key Features:
- Skiing: A slow soldier is a dead soldier. By holding down space bar you remove friction and build momentum to traverse large maps, hunt down targets, and escape enemy territory at intense speeds.
- Jetpacks: Total freedom of movement and aerial, dog-fight like combat.
- Class-Based Combat: Unlock up to nine distinct classes, each with unique weapon loadouts and abilities.
- Player Progression: As you play a class you gain experience which is used to unlock class-specific skills and perks. You can also share the xp gained while playing a favorite class to progress other classes.
- Escalating Intensity: In each match you earn credits for shooting down enemies or supporting your team’s objectives. Use these match credits to upgrade base defenses, access vehicles, or call-in tactical strikes. The longer you play, the more chaotic the match becomes.
- Vehicles: Pilot the powerful Beowulf tank, the speedy two-person Grav Cycle or the versatile flying Shrike.
- Beautiful, Massive Battlefields: Wage war in a variety of open environments including frozen wastelands, sprawling cities, and jagged mountains.
- Don’t Fight Alone: Friend-list allows you to link up with others and establish supremacy online
- Free To Play... but not pay to win: All items affecting game play can be earned by playing the game itself. Players can purchase optional Tribes Gold to unlock classes more quickly and/or skills more quickly. Players will also be able to purchase cosmetic skins with Tribes Gold.
- Spectator Mode: Highly-detailed spectator mode allows you to zoom in on your favorite players, view player data, and switch between action hot spots on the fly.

Players remember this game fondly as a fun, pure arena shooter that delivered mindless enjoyment and competitive gameplay, with many expressing nostalgia and wishing it would return. The main criticism is that the game had significant untapped potential and could have been expanded with more content to sustain a longer lifespan. Overall, it's remembered as a solid title from its era that left players wanting more rather than regretting their time with it.

Man, I used to love this game. Just mindless fun. All be it, it could have been expanded or had much added to it, sadly it had so much potential that went unused but was a decent game at the time. If I ever win the Lottery, I'll buy the IP and bring Tribes back! :P4 found this helpful
