    Tribes: Ascend is an upcoming free-to-play multiplayer-only first-person shooter part of the Tribes franchise. It is currently being developed by Hi-Rez Studios and was announced on March 11, 2011 at PAX East with an expected release in early 2012. It will be available as a digital download for Microsoft Windows, though Hi-Rez Studios haven't ruled out the possibility of an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 release in the future. Iconic aspects from previous Tribes games such as jetpacks and skiing will be featured in the game.[1] Currently, the game is available to play in the form of a closed beta, with keys given randomly.[2]

    Right, but by posting mine, people on the forum see that is not just Luigi silently crusading across the battlefield with a grim lonely smile as he roflstomps.

    I have been so addicted to the game, but I hate how getting anything without paying takes forever.

    All the old players complain about how simple Ascend is compared to games before Vengeance, but I still think it's fun. Plus the game is full of players again with the new F2P model. I've heard that they cancelled Tribes: Universe for this though, which would have supported 100+ players in one server.

    Tested the Alpha version and helped make what Tribes Ascend is right now, anybody can get into the current beta (open beta) through liking it on Facebook for a code.
    Also looking forward to SMITE!

    Shazbot means Shazbot and Shazbot is the meaning of life.

    Shazbot is basically like fuck or shit to replace when something went wrong. Missed that flag cap? VGS

    Racked up 60hours playtime in the past 10days. My first fps in a decade, shits fun. Cappers are under-compensated score-wise compared to flag defenders though.

    Enjoying Raider and Tech still a lot, I have noticed a general lack of teamwork since public release, I've had to teach a lot of people that are coming to attack me, how to attack me.

    I had one guy who was infiltrator continually trip my mines and then my turret would kill him, I eventually told him that he needed to pay attention to the turret, walk around the mines to not trip them (Careful going down the shaft) and then perhaps get behind the turret and attack it.

    He finally after about 16 attempts got far enough to attack the generator, I didn't intefere and let him down it, and then killed him and reuppedthe gen and told him he needed to think further or he's wasting his lives. He ended up friending me and he joins my games when he sees me on and vice versa, so it worked out, I actually have faith in some of the newcomers there. After so many games where the first thing you do is try to help and people tell you to fuck off, it is very refreshing, especially because I am not great at Shazbot, just decent.
