The FPS action itself is comparable to two criminally underrated current-generation releases, ShadowRun and Section 8. Each player has two movement abilities, skis and jetpack, which allow for tactical additions to positioning both at ground level and in the sky. These abilities are limited by recharging meters, much like ShadowRun’s tech/mana meter. The combat is swift and aggressive, with players rarely finding opportunity to execute opponents with their melee weapon, and should the player find that their chosen class simple isn’t cutting the mustard, they can use the Inventory Stations placed throughout the maps to change their class, as well as acquiring more ammo and recharging health, ski and jetpack meters. For those who can’t quite make it to an Inventory Station for the recharge however, there is always the option to call-in external assistance.
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.
