MMGN.com: "Few people recognise the importance of the Tribes series in pioneering the sci-fi shoot’em’up genre, but the latest game in the series -- a free to play title -- will certainly change that, with a strong showing in all aspects of gameplay. Subtitled Ascend, this title is a class-based shooter revolving around infantry combat on the ground and in midair through the use of jetpacks.
People often liken Tribes to Halo, but fans of the series are always more than happy to point out the fact the Tribes came about first. However, given the widespread exposure of Ascend, many are wondering whether the series can really hold its own against the Xbox-exclusive series which continues to go from strength to strength."
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.
