Just to add some more info. about the re-released version of tribes2 w/ the latest patch.
The latest patch also includes two new additions.
One is a new mod is called classic. And anyone who is familiar with both T1 and T2 knows that there was a dramatic difference in the physics and style of play.
Classic mod brings back the feel/play of Tribes1. It's been a semi-big hit amongst the tribes community since it's release. Also with the inclusion of Classic is a map pack, I'm not sure how many maps it includes, but I'm almost positive it includes more than 10 new maps.
Then we have what is called Team Rabbit 2
It could almost be considered a stand alone because of it's unique gameplay and style. It is definitely recieving a lot of praise from the commnity and people seem to be loving it.
Just a warning though, Team Rabbit 2 has a steep learning curve. It's not your typical join in and run and twitch/kill everyone. The more you play it though, the better you get, and it keeps getting better and better
And if you don't want to buy the re-release w/ new patch, and you already own tribes2, the new patch is available as a free download(I'm not sure that sierra has made it available thru the auto-updater yet, but they promised it would be available via the auto-updater shortly).
