No one has been able to re-create how this game felt. Every attempt at making a new version of this one loses something in the process. Game studios don’t understand that graphics and fluidity aren’t the defining features of a game. The defining features are
no voicechat
plasma discing someone mid air during a duel
jetpacking into an enemy base, stealing their flag, and skiing away
destroying your enemy’s generators and hiding out in the basement to kill them when they come to repair them

Haven’t played this game in nearly 20 years and even then it was considered an old game with only around 3-4 dedicated servers left. Wonder how that’s going nowadays.
Oh shit I played Tribes: Ascend and loved it! Didn’t know there was more to the franchise. I should get back into it.
A quick look later and this game went on for 12 years??? And it got shut down last October?? Goddammit. I loved the movement and the progress when I played it back in '13.
