Was visiting my parents for their 50th anniversary and stumbled upon this gem from my youth. More below.

I’d had a lot of fun with that newer F2P Tribes game. Not quite the same, I’m sure.

I liked that game so much, it felt like as betrayal they just dumped it for smite. At least that's how i remember it, if they're even the same dev

I gave up on it long ago when they had the first big dip in players.

I forgot about Smite. Just looked it up, it looks terrible. Great job HiRez.

Tribes Ascend was amazing; I think it might have been towards the end of the game's popularity, but I loved that they sold a pack to skip the F2P grind progression entirely (kinda like getting a GOTY version a couple years later)
