I think the adult content rating you gave this game is harsh… There is no nudity at all, with every player dressed in armor that covers at least 80% of the body.FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. I've played in the Tribes/Tribes 2 community for over 2 years now, and am very familiar with the game. This game offers a great sense of teamplay and the chance to meet other people with similar interests in gaming. The content is WAY better than other games such as Quake 3, CounterStrike, and Unreal Tournament.
TRIBES 2 RSP SERIES
I have been playing the Tribes series for over a year now and love the game. I think that it might become offensive but gentlemen.
TRIBES 2 RSP MODS
Positive-I have played Tribes 1 for ages and I have just stepped up to Tribes 2 and I must say Tribes 2 is too soft… I think it is the softest game of all FPS's but until some good mods come to bear Tribes 2 will become more brutal. The game promotes teamwork and camaraderie, and the game itself contains no content that most people would find objectionable. Overall I would say that this game is fine for anybody over their teens. I've never seen any misuse of the voice chat system, but the potential is there.Īdult content is not part of this game at all, but as I said before, it's not at all unlikely that you will run into some inappropriate things being said by other players. This game also features voice-chat capabilities for the sake of teamwork, but it could easily be abused if someone decided to do so. Language, while not present in the game itself, can be present in the form of other players chatting. The violence in this shouldn't be an issue. The Spinfusor, for example, shoots glowing blue discs of energy. Also the guns you use seem like something out of Star Wars. While you DO shoot things, there is no blood whatsoever, and is very non-graphic. Normal Internet rules for children should apply here, as on any chat-style community. While this is a fantastic feature with a lot of cool potential, parents should be advised that you can run into some unsavory characters on the system. The system, aside from it's primary function of finding and joining games, contains extra features, such as built in message boards, news postings from the development team, chat, and a way to join different “Tribes”, which are groups of players who band together to make a team of sorts. If anybody reading this who is familiar with Battle.Net from Blizzard (as seen in such games as “Starcraft”) will know what I'm talking about. The entire online mode of the game (which is, really the only fun way to play) requires you to sign up (for free, of course) for a community-style game network. Everybody has to function as one team, or else you'll get totally trounced.
The more advanced weapons in the game require one player to mark a target with a targeting laser before the other player can fire on it. If an enemy manages to get into your base and destroy any generators or sensors, your whole team will be left crippled and open to attack. The nature of this game requires teamplay on a very large scale. For those who don't like to fly alone, the Shrike Bomber requires both a pilot, and a bomber, as well as space for a third person to ride along as a tailgunner.
Players can take control of mobile bases, fighter planes, scout hoverbikes, etc. For example, a person with Juggernaut armor and a plasma rifle is going to be a useful attacker, while someone with Scout armor and a repair tool would be excellent for defense.Īnother feature not often seen in games of this type are vehicles. All players begin with some standard equipment and a jet pack, and from there, you can change your armor type, weapons, and “packs”, which are extra goodies you can use, such as extra jetpack fuel, deployable turrets, changeable turret barrels, etc.ĭifferent equipment combinations are better suited for different tasks. “Tribes” is a very unique game, as it adds elements to traditional first-person-shooter titles that are very seldom seen. Players are divided into teams, each with it's own base, and war with the other teams. “Tribes 2” is, at it's heart, a large-scale game of Capture The Flag over gigantic outdoor landscapes. " Tribes 2" is one of those games that comes along every onceĪnd a while and puts a whole new spin on what everybody is used to. Recommend a 450mhz Pentium, 64+ MB Ram and
