MMGN.com writes: Younger gamers out there could be forgiven for not remembering the under-appreciated Tribes franchise. Set as one of the early pioneers of online shooters, Tribes and Tribes 2 set the standard for large scale, online warfare. Using futuristic weaponry, jetpacks and "skiing", this frantic experience helped to define what we all expect from online shooters today.
Online games have become the pastime of choice for everyone, no matter their age. And here's a list of the best free online games for 2017.
Back in March of 2013, Hi-Rez broke the news to its Tribes: Ascend fans that they would need to take several months away from the game in order to focus all its efforts on SMITE. Several months became more than two years, and fans were beginning to believe that Hi-Rez would simply never return to Tribes.
But the recent 1.1 update -- a.k.a. the Out of the Blue Update -- has proven those naysayers wrong.
If you thought Hi-Rez Studios were done with Tribes Ascend, think again. Today they are launching a major update to the free to play shooter that fans of the original games might just approve of.
I just started playing a few days ago but I love it. If you're a Tribes vet you'll feel right at home and if you've never played Tribes then you'll realize there is no better fps combat. Battling at what can feel like 100mph is really fun.
